Abstract

To describe how the Dewey Decimal Classification is used in the Asia-Pacific region is an enormous task. In my paper I will be able to do little more than summarise the situation, perhaps providing a few highlights that may illuminate general trends. The Asia Pacific region, if it is defined as including East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific region, is an area which includes more than half the population of the world-more than three billion people. There are wide differences in the region: - In economic development, with the region including advanced industrial economies like Australia, Japan, and Singapore, and less developed economies, that have been held back by colonialism and war; - In cultures, with the region including countries with ancient civilisations such as those of China, India, and Japan, and countries strongly influenced by Western European and North American civilisation; - In general levels of education, particularly literacy rates, which vary from country to country in the region from 20 percent to nearly 100 percent; and - In languages: Across the region, a large variety of languages are used, and even within some countries (such as India and Papua New Guinea) there may be dozens or even hundreds of different languages. Not only do these factors make it difficult to generalise about the region, but these factors all affect the development of libraries in general, and the library classification schemes used in particular.

Abstract

Considers the differences between the intellectual, emotional and social development of children and adults can lead to difficulties in understanding and communication, in the case of children, during the reference interview. Presents a state of the art review of studies of reference interviews conducted with children in public libraries. Concludes that, in order to have a more successful reference interview, librarians must take account of the specific differences between adults and children

Abstract

Librarians at the University of the Pacific, California (UOP) designed a replication of an earlier transaction log study carried out at Adelphi University, New York (LRTS 38(1994) no.3, S.293-305). It was hypothesized that library staff would use a feature that allows the searcher to limit a search by location or material type more often than users. It was also hypothesized that library staff and reference librarians would have a higher success rate than public users. The third hypothesis was that UOP users would perform keyword searches more often than library staff. Studies were conducted in 1995 in 1996 to test these hypotheses to provide comparative data on the search styles of users and staff. Searches of the INNOPAC database, using transaction logs, were performed by 4 terminal groups: public users, technical services staff, public services staff, and reference librarians. It was discovered that replicating a study is not nearly as straightforward as was initially thought. It was also found to be surprisingly difficult to compare year to year data at the same institution; primarily due to a continually changing technological environment

Abstract

Introduces a new method for continuous case-based reasoning, and discusses its applications to the dynamic selection, modification and acquisition of robot bahaviours in an autonomous navigation system, SINS (self-improving navigation system): The computer program and the underlying method are systematically evaluated through statistical analysis of results from several empirical studies. Discusses case-based reasoning issues addressed by this research

Abstract

Contribution to a feature on health care within the library systems. Considers the role libraries should play in providing medical information to library users, with particular reference to the Mountain States of the Pacific Northwest USA, in light of a survey of academic libraries in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming: 3 large states with no medical schools or large medical libraries. Results show that academic libraries in all 3 states surveyed are performing a significant function in providing medical information to users, including the general public. Receiving medical questions has become an established part of a reference librarian's routine in academic libraries of all sizes, and such questions are particularly common in smaller libraries, such as community and two year college libraries

Abstract

Internet based electronic resources are growing dramatically but there have been no empirical studies evaluating the impact of e-sources, as a whole, on formal scholarly communication. reports results of an investigation into how much e-sources have been used in formal scholarly communication, using a case study in the area of Library and Information Science (LIS) during the period 1994 to 1996. 4 citation based indicators were used in the study of the impact measurement. Concludes that, compared with the impact of print sources, the impact of e-sources on formal scholarly communication in LIS is small, as measured by e-sources cited, and does not increase significantly by year even though there is observable growth of these impact across the years. It is found that periodical format is related to the rate of citing e-sources, articles are more likely to cite e-sources than are print priodical articles. However, once authors cite electronic resource, there is no significant difference in the number of references per article by periodical format or by year. Suggests that, at this stage, citing e-sources may depend on authors rather than the periodical format in which authors choose to publish

Abstract

The evaluation of information retrieval systems is an important yet difficult operation. This paper describes an exploratory evaluation study that takes an interpretive approach to evaluation. The longitudinal study examines evaluation through the information-seeking behaviour of 22 case studies of 'real' users. The eclectic approach to data collection produced behavioral data that is compared with relevance judgements and satisfaction ratings. The study demonstrates considerable variations among the cases, among different evaluation measures within the same case, and among the same measures at different stages within a single case. It is argued that those involved in evaluation should be aware of the difficulties, and base any evaluation on a good understanding of the cases in question

Abstract

This paper describes the combined experience of two research driven case studies that resulted in an Area Studies Virtual Library Catalog (ASVLC). The purpose of the catalog was to provide easy access to, and retrieval of, distributed Internet resources pertaining to four geographic regions: Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and South Asia. The case studies addressed the special considerations encountered in dealing with dynamic Web-based documents in a distributed virtual library. Our experience led to an understanding that collection guidelines for Internet sites must consider various document types available on the Web, document behavior, and document quality. We baselined quantities of Web documents reported by search engines to gain a general concept of document distributed by country, region, and language. Research was performed on Web document persistence to answer questions on catalog maintenance. Findings on document persistence was modified to capture quality indicators about the Web document being described and new metadata forms to better meet the needs of the end user. By incorporating commercial, off-the-shelf software and existing cataloging standards and practices with our findings, we developed a semi-automated methodology for record and catalog creation. Our findings emphasize the differences between the print or paper-based and Web-based electronic documents, the application of the new technologies, and the impact of the findings on creating a virtual library catalog
