- Abstract
- An awareness exists among Italian librarians of the need for an established code of ethics for library reference services. Considers the principles that such a code should incorporate; the US Commitment to Information services, for example, affirms users' rights of access to library books and resources, regardless of content and opinions expressed. Censoship is opposed and people are not barred from library use for ethnis, social or religious reasons. An ethical code would require library staff to be impartial, give attention and respect to users, allocate time properly, and avoid prejudice. Discusses the problems of library ethics which arise when user requests relate to sensitive topics e.g. euthansia, cocaine refining

- Abstract
- In Canada, as in many other developed countries, the elderly are the fastest growing segment of the population (Moore & Rosenberg, 1997), and are considered to have substantial needs for human services due to the physical, psychological, emotional and social changes associated with aging (Bull, 1994; Hales-Mabry, 1993; Harel, el al., 1990; Levinson, 1996; Pelly, 1992; Tinker, 1992; Wenger, 1992). Shorter hospital stays and other cutbacks in the healthcare system have also contributed to increased need for human services. Yet, the elderly are typically counted among society's "information poor" (Childers, 1975; Nauratil, 1985). While community-based human services such as healthcare, income support, transportation, and recreation programs can help the elderly recover from illness and continue living in their own homes, research shows that they are largely unaware of existing services, that they experience difficulties in expressing their needs and negotiating the human services web, and that many go without needed help (Ontario Ministry of Culture & Communications, 1991). Surprisingly little is known, however, from empirically-based research about how seniors communicate their needs for HSI and how HSI helps them cope with daily problems. While an in-depth review of the literature on the information behaviour of the elderly is provided in Pettigrew (1997b), the literature to-date can be characterized as suffering from the same weakness identified by Zweizig and Dervin (1977) in their survey of the library literature in that it is primarily composed of use studies and user studies.

- Abstract
- As medical students, learning to do a Complete History and Physical is one of the first great challenges in the transition from being a classroom student to being a clinical trainee on the hospital wards. The Complete History and Physical, summarized in Table 1, is a highly structured, comprehensive data gathering exercise which combines open-ended interviewing techniques, letting the patient `tell the story' of his or her illness, with focused, orderly questioning about virtually every aspect of that patient's life which might have bearing on their health. A key feature of this procedure is that, with the exception of gender-specific questions such as an obstetric history in a man, every patient is asked every question, to ensure that the database is complete. Until it is committed to memory, many students work from a detailed list of questions, often many pages in length, based on recommended examples found in widely used textbooks (Walker & Hurst, 1976, Degowin & Degowin, 1976). This exhaustive initial data gathering activity is only the first step in the process. Once all the data have been collected and recorded, the student must organize and categorize the information into his or her Impression, a complete tabulation of the patient's health problems and possible explanations for them (Differential Diagnosis).

- Abstract
- The study of information needs has been a subject of attention for library and information science professionals for more than four decades, and has led to the publication of a great amount of literature. Among the reasons that lead to this interest, we can mention, on the one hand, the utility that the results of this type of research have in improving mechanisms of providing information in the professional environment and, on the other hand, no less important, the recognition of problems in methodology which are revealed when studies which have already been reported are analysed (Gorman, 1995; Forsyte, et al., 1992). One of the reasons for this kind of research is, without doubt, the need to harmonise the potential that the new technologies offer for accessing and managing large quantities of information with the information needs of the users. Its objective is to provide appropriate information systems for each environment, in this case, the medical field (Timpka, et al., 1989; Forsyte, et al., 1992; Gorman, 1995; Gorman & Helfand 1995; Abad-Garcia, 1997).

- Abstract
- Die Digitale Bibliothek hat viele Gesichter und viele Funktionen, Kein des Begriffs ist die Aufbereitung, Zugänglichkeit und Verarbeitung von digitalen - aber auch nichtdigitalen - Quellen. Das Management von elektronischen Informationsressourcen birgt neue Strukturen, neue Paradigmen, neue Arbeitsweisen und neue Informationsvermittlungsmethoden. Noch einer Übersicht über die Begriffsbestimmung "Digitale Bibliothek" werden die Forschungsprogramme und Förderansätze hinsichtlich digitaler Bibliotheksprojekte in den USA, Europa, Asien und Ozeanien dargestellt. Einzelne Aspekte der digitalen Bibliothek werden dann näher erläutert wie die Architektur der digitalen Bibliothek, Metadaten, Dokumentenerstellung, Interoperability, Gateways - Clearinghouses etc., Paradigmenverschiebung, elektronische Zeitschriften, Informationsvermittlung, Abrechungsmodalitäten, Archivierung etc. Weiterhin wird überlegt, was die künftigen Implikationen der Informationseuphorie bzw des "dato smog" sind, wie der Wissenschaftlerarbeitsplatz aussieht und weiche Rolle Bibliothek und Bibliothekare in der Informationsversorgung künftig haben

- Abstract
- Discusses the information requirements of small and medium sized companies and outlines the range of tools available to meet these requirements (catalogues, databases, databanks, etc.). To provide effective axnd competitive services, libraries of small and medium sized companies need to work together, and perhaps form information associations. These libraries should analyse the information requirements of their clients, at both local and regional levels, identify key services and offer these services at market prices

- Abstract
- This paper highlights some of the significant findings from author's PhD: "Factors affecting the end-use of electronic databases in public libraries." Public libraries have a wide range of different types of users who, unlike academic or special library users, are not necessarily information-trained (see Coles, 1998). Whereas the academic, special library user may have specific information needs that can be met by electronic sources, public library users do not necessarily have such specific information needs that can easily be identified and met. Most user surveys have tended to concentrate on the searching and retrieval aspect of information seeking behaviour, whereas this study's user survey focused more on how people perceived and related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It was not how people searched a particular electronic source, in this case CD-ROM, that was of prime interest but rather whether or not people actually used them at all and the reasons why people did or did not use electronic media. There were several reasons the study looked at CD-ROM specifically. Firstly, CD-ROM is a well established technology, most people should be familiar with CD-ROM/multimedia. Secondly, CD-ROM was, at the start of the study, the only open access electronic media widely available in public libraries. As well as examining why public library users chose to use electronic sources, the paper looks at the types of CD-ROM databases used both in the library and in general Also examined are what sort of searches users carried out. Where appropriate some of the problems inherent in studying end-users in public libraries and the difficulty in getting reliable data, are discussed. Several methods were used to collect the data. I wished to avoid limiting research to a small sample of library sites, the aim was to be as broad in scope as possible. There were two main groups of people 1 wished to look at: non-users as well as CD-ROM users

- Abstract
- 15 contributors attempt to provide some solutions to the problems posed by problem library users, such as users who come to the public library in order to sleep or those who are violent and/or disruptive. Presents sound strategies for dealing with these difficulties and provides practical descriptive guidelines for identifying and effectively responding to a variety of user behaviour problems, with particular reference to the legal implications of any action taken by the librarian in dealing with these problems

- Abstract
- Describes a proposed system for helping public library users, in praticular students, in their document searches. The system would directly involve users in compiling cards that indictae the various library sources (encyclopedias, books, newspapers, magazines, etc.) from which they retrieved bibliographic data. These cards would then be used to create a search path catalogue having 2 sections: general research topics; and keywords. Subsequently the librarian would form a database from this information. Such a system would not only benefit other researchers but also help the library to plan acquisition and rationalise its document arrangements. The scheme won 3rd prize in an open competition designated 'La biblioteca desiderata' (The kind of library we want), promoted jointly by the Milan Province Cultural Office and Biblioteche Oggi

- Abstract
- 42 academic libraries in New Jersey were surveyed in 1994 to investigate the use of the Internet for reference work. 27 responses were received. The survey questions focused on: how many reference librarians used the Internet for reference queries, what training they had received, what types of reference activities were being conducted, how successful the searches were, what subject categories were searched, and what were the problems/barriers that prevented more frequent use. Reports the results and indicates possible solutions to problems
