Abstract

For literature searchers who create extensive bibliographies, special software is available. Among the most popular of these packages is ProCite from Research Information Systems. The system uses workforms with predefined fields for author, title etc. Through its BilioLink conversion program ProCite enables data to be downloaded from other files. Advantages of the package are its ease of use and links to WWW applications. However, index browsing is clumsy and there is little control over input errors

Abstract

The Nationale Raad voor de Volksgezondheid contains a medium sized library with 800-1.000 new acquisitions each year and 220 periodical subscriptions. A study of commercially available automated catalogue systems showed that none met the needs of library users. After an unsuccessful attempt to develop a catalogue using Word Perfect word processing package a program was written using Turbo Pascal software to provide a user friendly catalogue with adequate help screens and Dutch language commands. The system uses little disc space and offers a 10 second response time. At present the catalogue contains books and periodical articles added in 1991-92. Plans are in hand to add material back to Jan 1990

Abstract

Contribution to thematic issue of art libraries in the Netherlands. Visual images are now widely recognised as an importatnt resource for the historical research. To improve access to collections of such material H. van de Wal developed ICONCLASS in the Netherlands. With some 150.000 controlled indexing terms the scheme is hierarchical and easy to use. In response to requests a version of ICONCLASS has been developed for use in automated systems. The scheme has been used by the Dutch Royal Library for its database of printers' devices, published in CD-ROM version in Dec. 91. Experience with the project shows the need for careful preparations and the use of trained staff

Abstract

Retrieval techniques may be based on the full text of documents, or on descriptors selected from a thesaurus. The latter approach constitutes an attempt to bridge the gap between demand and documents, which causes problems if demand cannot be forecast. Building up a thesaurus involves choosing the method of collecting descriptors, choosing the actual descriptors and making the system easily accessible to users. Classification and a classified catalogue are essential to the organisation of knowledge. Rules for the formation of classes have developed out of natural systems of classification. Chain indexing greatly aids the formation of the subject index. UDC and DDC are used in most documentation centres in the Netherlands. Public libraries mostly use SISO, a Dutch universal classification system

Abstract

Although several attempts have been made to devise simplified shelf arrangements for children, little consideration has been given to developing a simplified automated library catalogue. At Denver Public Library in the USA a catalogue has been devised enabling users to search via graphical symbols. Results of research into children's use of library catalogues was used as a basis for creating the system. Librarians must be prepared to re-examine how far existing systems meet the needs of their users

Abstract

Many companies now recognise the importance of knowledge as a factor in ensuring the organisation's success. Such organisations will create a knowledge infrastructure linking all aspects of the process, such as knowledge creation, dissemination, storage and application. This infrastructure will involve staff, processes and systems from a range of areas within the organisation. Trained information professionals can expect to play an important role in such services. The limitations of indexing services for online databases will require the input of information specialists in undertaking specialised searches

Abstract

1st in a series or reports by the IRT (Internet Retrieval Tools) Working Party in the Netherlands. The group was formed at the start of 1997 to attempt to identify which search engines were most suitable for different ypes of enquiries. Compilers of search engines frequently give little information about the data covered by their service and how their service deals with metadata. Preliminary tests show considerable variations in approach; future tests will examine the use of ranking and currency of systems
