    Abstract
    GENESIS, from SCG, the supplier of the well established library management system BookshelF, is one of the first library management systems to run as a Windows product with a graphical user interface (GUI), and as such is one of the front runners of the next generation of library management systems. The article commences with a brief review of the characteristics of GUI-based systems and proceeds to examine the characteristics of GENESIS. GENSIS is based on a new database environment but retains the same package of modules a BookshelF: Catalogue, Circulation, Thesuaurs, System Defintions, Acquisistion, Serials, Management reporting and System Administration. The GUI interface is simple and easy to use. GENESIS has many of the the features that will characterise a new generation of library management systems

    Abstract
    Management information facilities transform the library management system into a much more effective management tool. Three levels of management can be identified - operational, tactical and strategic - and each of these has its own unique management information needs. Earlier work on the use of management information in libraries and the development of management information systems demonstrates that progress in these areas has been slow. Management information systems comprise three components: facilities for handling ad hoc enquiries; facilities for standard report report generation; and management information modules, or report generators that support the production of user-defined reports. A lsit of standard reports covering acquisitions, cataloguing, circulation control, serials and inter-library loans is provided. The functions of report generators are explored and the nature of enquiry facilities reviewed. Management information tools available in library management systems form a valuable aid in decision making. These should be further exploited and further developed

    Abstract
    All information systems should contribute to the competitive position of an organization and should therefore be strategic. Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) is the process of establishing a programme for the implementation and use of information systems so theat the effectiveness of the firm's information resources are optimized and used to support the objectives of the organization as much as possible. SISP involves matching computer applications with the objectives and corporate strategy of the organization. Starts by exploring the nature of a strategic information system and then process to outline the basic steps and features of an SISP. Reviews the criteria to be applied in the selection of an SISP

    Abstract
    This article revisits the debate concerning controlled and natural indexing languages, as used in searching the databases of the online hosts, in-house information retrieval systems, online public access catalogues and databases stored on CD-ROM. The debate was first formulated in the early days of information retrieval more than a century ago but, despite significant advance in technology, remains unresolved. The article divides the history of the debate into four eras. Era one was characterised by the introduction of controlled vocabulary. Era two focused on comparisons between different indexing languages in order to assess which was best. Era three saw a number of case studies of limited generalisability and a general recognition that the best search performance can be achieved by the parallel use of the two types of indexing languages. The emphasis in Era four has been on the development of end-user-based systems, including online public access catalogues and databases on CD-ROM. Recent developments in the use of expert systems techniques to support the representation of meaning may lead to systems which offer significant support to the user in end-user searching. In the meantime, however, information retrieval in practice involves a mixture of natural and controlled indexing languages used to search a wide variety of different kinds of databases

    Abstract
    This second part of a two-part article establishes a model of the mediating factors that influence student information behavior concerning the electronic or digital information sources used to support learning. This part discusses the findings of the Joint Information Systems Committee User Behavior Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (1999-2004) and development of a model that includes both the individual (micro) and organizational (macro) factors affecting student information behavior. The macro factors are information resource design, information and learning technology infrastructure, availability and constraints to access, policies and funding, and organizational leadership and culture. The micro factors are information literacy, academics' information behavior, search strategies, discipline and curriculum, support and training, and pedagogy. We conclude that the mediating factors interact in unexpected ways and that further research is needed to clarify how those interactions, particularly between the macro and micro factors, operate.

    Abstract
    Reviews the marketplace for existing current awareness services and uses the main features of these products as standards against which to access 3 new current awareness services: Inside Information; SwetScan; and UnCover. Inside Information, from the British Library Document Supply Centre, provides a short listing of the key features of each article in the world's principal scholarly periodicals. Each reference contains a maximum of 1.500 characters and approximately 1 million references are added to the database each year. SwetScan, from Swets Subscription Service covers 7.000 periodical titles and provides title, ISSN, year-volume, some article names, authors, page numbers, and, if the library is a Swets subscriber, the library's subscription number. An avergae of 111.073 references are added to the database each month. UnCover is a collaborative venture between Blackwells and CARL and offers access to a multidisciplinary database based on the holdings of the participating libraries. UnCover differs from the other 2 services in that it was not originally marketed as a current awarenenss service. UnCover covers 14.000 periodicals representing the holdings of participating libraries together with additional titles for which Blackwells act as subscription agents. The main focus of UnCover is speed of document delivery and the intention is to provide a fax of a document within 24 hours or less (and within the hour if the document is stored on optical disc). Concludes that, if these 3 services are successful and lead to wider availability and use of current awareness services in the academic community, this will have a significant impact on libraries and their relationships with end users

    Abstract
    This two-part article establishes a model of the mediating factors that influence student information behavior concerning electronic or digital information sources that support their learning. The first part reviews the literature that underpinned the development of the research methodology for the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) User Behavior Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, as well as the literature that has subsequently helped to develop the model over the 5 years the Framework operated in the United Kingdom, in five cycles of research that were adjusted to meet the emerging needs of the JISC at the time. The literature review attempts to synthesize the two main perspectives in the research studies: (a) smallscale studies of student information behavior; and (b) the studies that focus on the quantitative usage of particular electronic information services in universities, often including implications for training and support. As the review indicates, there are gaps in the evidence concerning the browsing and selection strategies of undergraduate students and the interaction of some of the mediating influences on information behavior. The Framework developed a multimethod, qualitative and quantitative methodology for the continued monitoring of user behavior. This article discusses the methods used and the projectmanagement challenges involved, and concludes that at the outset, intended impacts need to be specified carefully, and that funding needs to be committed at that point for a longitudinal study. A research project on information behavior, intended to inform current policymaking on infrastructure provision, is inherently difficult as behavior changes lag behind provision.

    Abstract
    Library managers are often concerned to assess the most cost effective means of access to bibliographic data. Considers comparative prices for bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in print form. In many instances, CD-ROM offers added value and easier access to data, but the relative cost is important. Library managers need not only to compare prices but to consider cost effectiveness. Differences between the nature of bibliographic data on CD-ROM and in a printed bibliography or in abstracting and indexing service, and the relative complexities of pricing structures for bibliographic data in both CD-ROM and printed form, where both hinder comparisons. Varying policies on network pricing are an added complication when assessing CD-ROM service. Concludes that some standardization of aspects of the licensing arrangements would be welcome

    Abstract
    Examines some of the key concepts concerned with customers and consumer buying behaviour. Explores the concept of customer for library and information services, and notes the roles of users, influencers and deciders. Many library and information services deal with 'internal' customers. In order to offer an effective service to customers, it is important to identify the benefits sought by different groups or segments, and to understand the consumer decision making process which is important in determining 'purchase' bahaviour and the use of the service

    Abstract
    Reviews the literature on the design and evaluation of user interfaces on commercial CD-ROM databases, with the aim of producing guidelines. Defines interfaces, dialogues and interaction, and explores the diversity in and issues associated with standardization in CD-ROM interface design. Current criteria and guidelines for the design and evaluation of CD-ROM user interfaces include those of the Special Interest Group on CD-ROM Applications and Technology (SIGCAT) and guidelinies proposed by others. Compares the recommendations of 2 studies of CD-ROM user interfaces: Richards and Robinson (CD-ROM professional, 6(1993) no.5, S.92-101) and Harry and Oppenheim (Online and CD-ROM review 17(1993) no.4, S.211-222 u. 17(1993) no.6, S.339-368). An alternative set of guidelines is proposed based on this earlier work

    Abstract
    Purpose - This article aims to define and explore the nature of wisdom, managerial wisdom, organisational wisdom and wisdom management. Design/methodology/approach - The paper draws on some of the diverse writings on wisdom, and explores the relevance of wisdom in the context of knowledge management. Findings - Wisdom has received little attention in the information management and systems, knowledge management and management literature. This is surprising since in this knowledge-based economy the link between data, information and knowledge is seen as pivotal by practitioners, consultants and academics. Originality/value - The article explores the nature of organisational wisdom and identifies a number of areas for further theory-making and empirical investigation.
