- Abstract
- The Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC) system, extensively used in Japanese libraries, was devised in 1929. It is difficult to use NDC to classify world literature, such as fiction in English by non American, non British writers. This is not necessarily straightforward in other classification schemes but a survey of 40 Japanese university libraries, of which 24 responded, showed remarkable inconsistencies in the treatment of 22 world literature authors. NDC clearly needs updating to deal with this problem

- Abstract
- Reports results of a postal survey of the use of OPACs in Japanese university libraries based upon an 84.9% return rate. These revealed that 60.4% of university libraries used OPACs, that most libraries were linked to the automated circulation system, but that only 6.5% had Internet connection

- Abstract
- In 1991 60,4% of Japanese university libraries had introduced computerized systems and 57,5% of these had computerized catalogues. In this context, discusses the following: subject searching in computerized catalogues; standardisation of OPACs, particularly as these are now available to a wide range of external users; and access to journal articles, especially in view of increasing journal purchase relative to books

- Abstract
- Information retrieval functions in digital libraries have a different context from those which apply to searching commercial databases or OPACs. Different methods of browsing in this context are described, but the retrieval function should also include ordinary Boolean searching. Conversion of printed materials to electronic format using OCR can result in errors, which may cause problems for keyword searching. The n-gram method of approximate or fuzzy matching to reduce this problem is described

- Abstract
- Reviews a series of studies conducted by C.C, Kuhlthau who investigated users' information seeking behaviour in libraries over a 10 year period. In her study she constructed and Information Search Process (ISP) Model which represents aspects of user activities as a whole including feelings, thoughts and actions or behaviour. Argues that, while the ISP model sheds new light on user studies, it has problems in the following areas: problem solving processes; the understanding of 'feelings'; and the method of investigating users' information seeking behaviour. Recommends that the ISP model be reconstructed from different perspectives and verified in areas other than libraries. This may lead to the development of a new model of information seeking
