    Abstract
    The use of the Internet offers new perspectives for public libraries, but accurate planning must be implemented to optimize these services. A connection must be established, and decisions made about what services to offer, and to whom. Other important aspects a re the training of staff and patrons, and resources editing. The main problems are seen as the differences between libraries, and the lack of a common policy. As the future scenario is difficult to foresee, the decisions to be adopted are complex

    Abstract
    Descriptive account of the rudimentary techniques used to organise documentation materials in the earliest libraries, covering Mesopotamia about 4.000 BC, for the creation of colophons, labels and catalogues; Egypt about 2.000 BC, for papyrus rolls with title at the end and labels in red ink; and classical Greece and Rome, for the catalogues in the library at Alexandria, and private and public libraries in Rome in the 1st century AD using classification by content

    Abstract
    Discusses the history of UDC in Spain from 1895 (when the first International Bibliography Conference aroused interest) to 1989, chiefly in terms of the contributions made by notable individual librarians, in terms of testing out, modifying and adapting UDC for their own collections. Changes of government in 1923 and 1931 and the consequent political upheavals prevented any state action, until 1939 when UDC became mandatory in all state-run libraries, and fully translated version finally became available. In 1989 this obligation was dropped, which may well make inter-library coordination more difficult in the future

    Abstract
    Discussion of the ontological status of library science, drawing on theoretical perspectives derived from Aristotle, Husserl, Heidegger and Marx. The objects and laws of library science as part of the social sciences are widely disputed. Library science is concerned with elements in the real world - documents, libraries, users - and has its roots in the human need for self-knowldge through documents as the objectivisation of the human spirit. Essentially a practical discipline, library science also has a theoretical basis reflecting objective relations between objective elements: its future development will be determined by its continuing adaptation so as to satisfy human needs

    Abstract
    Telecommunications networks and standard protocols for information retrieval aid physical access to geographically scattered libraries. However, users face problems when searching for foreign language documents if they do not have a certain command of the relevant language(s). Multilingual facilities, in particular multilingual presentation and retrieval, can intellectually open the library catalogue to a wider range of international users. Describes an attempt at using multilingual resources with a view to improving the user OPAC interaction throught he TRANSLIB project and its integration at 'Biblioteca Hispanica de la Agencia Espanola de Cooperation Internacional'

    Abstract
    Account of the experience of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre CIMMYT based in Mexico, which employs some 100 scientists and 600 support staff. To improve services the library updated its system using DB/Textworks, software which can manage large quantities of text including both data and images. The system is structured into modules for cataloguing, circulation, user information, serials, acquisition and suppliers. The chief advantages for medium sized libraries such as CIMMYT is its simplicity; tasks such as defining databases, creating reports, exchanging information so not require the intervention of computer experts

    Abstract
    The development of new technologies in the last few decades has directly influenced the organization of technical services and the way they carry out so called 'technical tasks'. One of the most recent examples is the use of the Internet for technical work. Offers a selective presentation of resources available on the Internet for the personnel of technical services generally, and especially for acquisitions and cataloguing. Presents a summary review of how Internet resources are being used to the advantage of technical services in Catalan academic libraries. The 2nd part of the article will look at Internet resources intended for the processing of specific materials such as serials, electronic resources, special collections, etc.

    Abstract
    A review of the literature. Authority control is intended to improve precision and recall but high failure rates detected during online catalogue searches by end users has given rise to debate about whether the time and effort involved in this approach is justified. Suggested solutions include using a combination of indexing techniques, increasing access points, greater standardisation of formats and more powerful software. Cooperative programmes at national and international levels can reduce costs. In Latin America some libraries use US / European formats, while others have developed their own local or regional systems; the whole situation needs to be reviewed to resolve the anomalies

    Abstract
    The idea of classification is based on the concept of fixed and absolute order, though each classification system reflects its historical origin and its subject to the characteristics of the individual who applies it as well as variations in the real world. Traditional classifications sought to establish differences and hierarchies, reflected in libraries in such systems as LC and Dewey. The scientific revolution of the mid 20th century introduced theories of interdisciplinarity resulting in the need for new approaches to library classification as a practical tool for locating texts as well as a way of ordering concepts. Computerised systems offer the advantage of flexibility, with the concomitant problem of noise. Users must therefore be trained to understand that categories and networks are employed not as dogmatically but relatively

    Abstract
    This article examines some of the ways in which the Biblioteca Daniel Cosio Villegas of El Colegio de Mexico is responding to meet goals stated in the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico's 1997-2000 Development Plan. The Plan aims to prepare students for life-long learning by teaching them reasoning and questioning skills as well a competencies in selecting, organizing and processing information from diverse systems and sources. It notes the need to discover the skill library professionals must have in order to assist patrons effectively to become self-sufficient users of information. The environment examined is one where most college and university students are products of a very traditional primary and secondary educational system that emphasizes learning through the use of class lectures and assigned textbooks rather than research and self-discovery. The author points out the need for library professionals in Mexico's institutions of higher education to teach students how to learn to access and process information themselves in order to transform this information into knowledge they can use. Some of the administrative changes made at the Biblioteca Daniel Cosio Villegas to accomplish this are described. These include: more participation by library professionals in planning; favoring matrical organization between departments and projects and making decisions in a more collegial fashion; subject specialization by library professionals who select, catalog, classify and give service in a specific area; and incorporation of the user into the evaluation of existing processes and services and the creation of new ones which favor a more efficacious development of their information skills. The author concludes by proposing three basic principles to guide the re-engineering process that must be undertaken by academic libraries if they are to survive and seek to shape the future of information technology rather than just responding to the challenges it presents. These principles are: the value which accrues to information by transforming it into knowledge can be analyzed systematically; the value which accrues to technology is incremented by the degree to which it is accepted by library professionals and users; and this acceptance is a function of other variables which can be understood and controlled, especially the frequency of use resulting in the development of information skills. The improvement of information skills of library professionals and users therefore constitutes the principles objective of technological integration
