Abstract

Extracts from the official report of a study investigating the situation in French public libraries, The main reason for this evaluation is th proposed review of the role of the Bibliothèque Nationale, in relation to developing the role of France in the world information market. The results reported here cover the production and diffusion of bibliographic information. The overall picture is of a lack of coordination between products available and user needs, failure to establish standards for formats and for information technology equioment. The concluding recommendations emphaisis the need for coordinating initiatives by the various organisations involved in producing/diffusing bibliographic information, and establishing common standards to allow free exchange between bibliographic networks. Further studies are in hand to establish guidelines for future policies in more specialised library sectors.

Abstract

More and more libraries are providing access to Web resources through OCLC's (Online Computer Resource Center) Cooperative Online Resource Catalog (CORC) and, by extension, OCLC's WorldCat database. The ability to use a database to its maximum potential depends upon understanding what a database contains and the guidelines for its construction. This study examines the characteristics of Web resources in CORC in terms of their subject matter, the source of the content, publication patterns, and the units of information chosen for representation in the database. The majority of the 414 resources in the sample belonged to the social sciences. Academic libraries and government agencies contributed more than 90% of the records for resources in the sample. Using the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2d edition (AACR2) definitions for publication patterns that are part of the upcoming 2002 amendments reveals that nearly half of the sample fell into the category of integrating resources. Identifying units of representation of the resources described was more difficult. Existing definitions for Web units in development are not adequate to describe all of the resources in the sample. In addition, there is wide variability in the units of representation chosen for inclusion by the libraries contributing records, resulting in little predictability in what units of information might be found in the database.

Abstract

In January 2010, the German National Library discontinued the print version of the national bibliography and replaced it with an online journal. This was the first step in a longer process of redefining the National Library's bibliographic services, leaving the field of traditional media - e. g. paper or CD-ROM databases - and focusing on publishing its data over the WWW. A new business model was set up - all web resources are now published in an extra bibliography series and the bibliographic data are freely available. Step by step the prices of the other bibliographic data will be also reduced. In the second stage of the project, the focus is on value-added services based on the National Library's catalogue. The main purpose is to introduce alerting services based on the user's search criteria offering different access methods such as RSS feeds, integration with e. g. Zotero, or export of the bibliographic data as a CSV or PDF file. Current standards of cataloguing remain a guide line to offer high-value end-user retrieval but they will be supplemented by automated indexing procedures to find & browse the growing number of documents. A transparent cataloguing policy and wellarranged selection menus are aimed.

Content

Volume 1 is divided into three parts. Part One (Chapters 1 and 2) constitutes an introduction to the reference process and automated reference services. Part Two, "Information: Control and Access," consists of Chapters 3 through 6 and covers an introduction to bibliographies, indexing, and abstracting services. Chapters 7 through 12 are in Part Three, "Sources of Information," which include encyclopedias, various ready reference sources, biographical sources, dictionaries, geographical sources, and government documents. It is as pointless for students to memorize details about specific reference sources, as it is necessary for them to grasp the essential areas of agreement and difference among the various forms. To this end, every effort is made to compare rather than to detail. Only basic or foundation reference works are discussed in this volume. But readers may not find all basic titles included or annotated because: (1) There is no consensus an what constitutes "basic". (2) The objective of this text is to discuss various forms, and the titles used for that purpose are those that best illustrate those forms. (3) The annotations for a specific title are duplicated over and over again in Guide to Reference Books and Guide to Reference Materials, which list the numerous subject bibliographies. In both volumes, suggested readings are found in the footnotes and at the end of each chapter. When a publication is cited in a footnote, the reference is rarely duplicated in the "Suggested Reading." For the most part, these readings are limited to publications issued since 1987. In addition to providing readers with current thinking, these more recent citations have the added bonus of making it easier for the student to locate the readings. A number of the suggested reading items will be found in Reference and Information Sources, A Reader, 4th ed., published by Scarecrow Press, in 1991. It is beyond argument, of course, that all readings need not necessarily be current and that many older articles and books are as valuable today as they were when first published. Thanks to many teachers' having retained earlier editions of this text and the aforementioned Scarecrow title, it is possible to have a bibliography of previous readings. As has been done in all previous editions, the sixth edition notes prices for most of the major basic titles. This practice seems particularly useful today, since librarians must more and more be aware of budgetary constraints when selecting reference titles. CD-ROMS are listed where available. Prices are based an information either from the publisher of the original reference source or from the publisher of the CD-ROM disc. If a particular work is available online, the gross hourly rate as charged by DIALOG is given for its use. Both this rate and the book prices are current as of late 1990 and are useful in determining relative costs. Bibliographic data are based an publisher's catalogs, Books in print, and examination of the titles. The information is applicable as of late 1990 and, like prices, is subject to change.
The ten chapters in Volume 11 are divided into 3 parts: Part One, "Information and the Community," contains two chapters to familiarize readers with various groups in the community, their information and reference needs, and how professionals attempt to serve those needs. Part Two, "Interview and Search," devotes Chapters 3 through 6 to the vital task of explaining how to isolate and understand the questions readers put to librarians as well as basic methods of finding the correct answer(s). The emphasis is an practical application of tried and true methods of interviewing and searching. Attention is given to both manual and computer searches. Chapter 6 is a guide to basic information about databases, including CD-ROMS. Part Three, "Library Instruction, Networks, Policies, and Evaluation," is comprised of the last four chapters and covers the activities of reference librarians when not responding to direct questions. This part includes hints an teaching people how to find information as well as the networks that help both librarian and user to discover what is needed. Chapter 10 discusses methods of deciding how well the individual has fulfilled the task of being a reference librarian. Only space and the fact that this text is for beginners limits what information it contains. First, many new developments and potentially important technological changes in the field of information are impossible to cover without turning to technical language and jargon quite beyond the average reader of an introductory textbook. However, basic developments are covered and explained, and there is a guide (via the footnotes and suggested readings) for those who wish to explore the future. Second, this volume is for students and working reference librarians and is intended first, foremost, and always as a pragmatic, practical approach. This is not to discount the importance of research and information science. Leaders and followers in those fields are responsible for much of what is revolutionary in references services today. There are other courses, other places where information science can be considered in depth; all that can be done here is to hint at the joy of the intellectual fields that open up to the information scientist and researcher. Students and teachers alike should be aware that much of the material covered in this book is updated, argued, and dutifully considered in several basic journals. RQ, the official voice of reference librarians of the American Library Association, excels in its coverage of the topics considered in this text. Library Journal, while more general, now offers excellent and timely articles an the new technology and its influence an librarians. The Reference Librarian, edited by the author of this text, offers specific discussions of single topics in each issue, and these have ranged from online reference services, to personnel, to problems of evaluation. And, not to be missed, is the nicely edited, always useful, and sometimes downright inspirational, References Services Review.

Abstract

This article describes three important bibliographic databases in Latin America, two of which have been created by national library networks. In the networks shared cataloging has become increasingly important. The databases contain much cataloging information not available outside Latin America. During the last two years the national libraries of Venezuela and Chile have exchanged their data and furnished it to a library in Colombia which is beginning the automation process. The article describes the formation of the networks from the point of view of database building, and examines prospects for increasing exchanges of data in the region.

Abstract

Large Swiss academic libraries stock 3 million titles documented in computerized catalogues. This data will be amalgamated with the Verbundkatalog Schweiz (VKS) to produce a national union catalogue. Unified cataloguing rules, clear definitions for data storage, operational guidelines and active participation of the original VKS database are needed. The government will help libraries financially according to their degree of participation in the project

Abstract

The DanBib system is a nation-wide union catalogue offering a number of common functions and a network to all Danish libraries - public as well as academic ones. The system is managed by the Danish Library Centre Ltd - a privately organized company owned by national and local government together with the biggest Danish publishing house. The Danish way is, indeed, unique in an international context. In this article a number of basic prerequisites which had to be fulfilled to bring about the Danish solution are discussed.

Abstract

Traces the history of the BNB from December 1949 to its integration into the newly formed British Library in 1974. Demonstrates how the BNB initiative arose and was supported from within the library profession, without any government assistance, to become, within 20 years, one of the UK's national library institutions and, together with the National Lending Library for Science and Technology, constitutes one of the most important achievements of post War UK librarianship. Separate chapters deal with different facets of BNB's work: The establishment of the BNB; A time of consolidation; BNB and the development of MARC cataloguing; Automation and the BNB; BNB and the British Library

Abstract

Rejects ideas that print will be replaced by electronic access to information. Librarianship should incorporate the useful aspects of electronic technology while maintaining what is useful and good about past and present services. Considers how to best adapt and enhance current structures to accomodate electronic documents and to use automation to improve access and delivery. Cataloguing and classification will remain central to information access. Examines the future of bibliographic standards in the future

Abstract

Während des Weltkongresses Bibliothek und Information, der 69. IFLA-Generalkonferenz, 2003 in Berlin wurde mit der IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Bibliographic Standards (ICABS) ein neues strategisches Vorhaben für bibliografische Standards ins Leben gerufen. Die feierliche Unterzeichnung fand am 7. August 2003 statt. Mit ICABS streben die National Library of Australia, die Library of Congress, die British Library, die Koninklijke Bibliotheek und Die Deutsche Bibliothek gemeinsam mit der National Library of Portugal, der IFLA und der Conference of Directors of National Libraries (CDNL) die Fortsetzung der Koordination und Unterstützung von Schlüsselaktivitäten im Bereich der bibliografischen und der Ressourcen-Kontrolle sowie damit zusammenhängender Formatstandards an. Wichtige Ziele hierbei sind insbesondere - bereits existierende Standards und Konzepte aus dem Bereich der bibliografischen und der Ressourcen-Kontrolle zu pflegen, für sie zu werben und sie zu harmonisieren, - Strategien für bibliografische und Ressourcen-Kontrolle zu entwickeln und für neue und empfohlene Konventionen zu werben, sowie das Verständnis von Themen zu vertiefen, die mit der Langzeitarchivierung elektronischer Ressourcen zusammenhängen. Das IFLA-Programm Universal Bibliographic Control and International MARC (UBCIM), das bei Der Deutschen Bibliothek angesiedelt war, endete im Februar 2003 mit dem Eintritt der bisherigen Leiterin Marie-France Plassard in den Ruhestand. Die verantwortlichen IFLA-Gremien eruierten bereits in den Vorjahren Möglichkeiten, wie die Betreuung des Formates UNIMARC und die Fortführung eines Programms, das sich mit der universellen bibliografischen Kontrolle beschäftigt, sichergestellt werden könnten. Die portugiesische Nationalbibliothek hat nunmehr zu Beginn diesen Jahres die Pflege und Entwicklung von UNIMARC sowie die Herausgabe der Publikation »International Cataloguing and Bibliographic Control« (ICBC) übernommen.

Abstract

The French cataloging code of 1791 was notable for 2 reasons: it was the first national cataloguing code: and it was the first code to provide for the use of cards in the cataloguing process, with playing cards as the medium of choice. Discusses the code in terms of the government's confiscation of church property in 1789 and its efforts to learn what the new national property consisted of; shows how the code used in revolutionary France in an attempt to compile a national bibliography and union catalogue of the holdings of various confiscated libraries; introduces the government bodies and individuals involved in the effort; and describes the ultimate fate of the cataloguing records created on the basis of the 1791 code. Examines the use of playing cards in the cataloguing process, both before and after 1791

Abstract

As part of a largerstudy concerning the scatter of library and information science (LIS) documents in bibliographic databases, this paper focuses on the publishing sources of a sample of 822 highly relevant documents. 67% were journal articles with the largest subject categories outside of LIS being medicine / health sciences, business, education, and computer science. Other journal titles ranged from popular and trade magazines to scholarly journals spanning the disciplinary map. The largest number of nonjournal items were conference reports, government reports, bibliographic resource guides, monographs, and nongovernment agency reports. These were scattered mostly between technological and medical databases. The results show that LIS is an interdisciplinary field, borrowing and supplying information to and from other disciplines. Articles written about the application of LIS concepts to other fields are often published in the journals of those other fields, not in LIS journals
