Abstract

Personal Bibliographic Systems (PBS) manage the input, storage, retrieval, and output of bibliographic references. The software allows for references to a number of different document types such as journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations, reports, unpublished papers, electronic documents, etc. Unlike general-purpose database management packages, PBS are made for bibliographic information, featuring a variety of import profiles for records downloaded from the major international databases, and the automatic generation of dozens of different output styles, including those used by the world's leading scientific journals. Modern PBS are thoroughly integrated with word processors. The software provides for the import, storage, retrieval, and output of World Wide Web-based information. This survey focuses on the various options and characteristics of PBS. Special attention is paid to structural flexibility, retrieval options, input, display, and output formats.

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

Computerized text retrieval and library management systems have not yet taken a desired shape in Indian libraries, though efforts are being made in this direction. Reviews the current situation in Indian libraries by means of a survey of 10 selected indigenous software packages. Briefly discusses the underlying framework and text retrieval and library management facilities in these packages and concludes that CDS/ISIS along with SANJAY with sonme further modifications, might prove to be the most suitable package for most Indian libraries

Abstract

CDS/ISIS is a menu-driven generalized information storage and retrieval system designed specifically for the computerized management of structured non-numerical data bases. The unique characteristic of CDS/ISIS is that it is specifically designed to handle fields (and consequently records) of varying length, thus allowing, on the one hand, an optimum utilization of disk storage and, on the other hand, a complete freedom in defining the maximum length of each field. Although some features of CDS/ISIS require some knowledge of and experience with computerized information systems, once an application has been designed the system may be used by persons having little or no prior computer experience.

Abstract

Are microcomputers able to support good IRSs? How do they cope with them? What types of IRS are currently available? After explaining the differences between IRSs using micros and IRSs using mainframes, this paper will describe various functions of 'microretrieval' (by which I mean IR on microcomputers) functions, possible criteria for selection, and essential differences between database systems. It will give a short market overview and compare some IRSs currently available (such as LARS, BRS, LIDOS, HYPERCARD, HEUREKA, CICADE, ALLEGRO, etc.) It will also explain how microretrieval could be the kernel of economic, scientific or technical integration and assist in the cooperation between countries with different levels of development

Abstract

Archives collection managers have employed the power and flexibility of the MicroMARC for Integrated Formats (MicroMARC:amc: Archival and Manuscripts Control) first developed on the campus of Michigan State University, since 1984. Now this MARC based information and storage retrieval software has been expanded to accomodate all MARC formats. Examines MicroMARC for Integrated Format version 1.2 and its data entry, searching, and reporting features, along with its latest upgrades. Features of the software include the ability to tranfer records to and from local systems, make global changes to headings in the database, create additional indexes, and create reports that can be downloaded into word processing documents if necessary. The software can be loaded on stand alone computers or into a LAN using DOS, Windows95 or WindowsNT

Abstract

Many thousands of researchers are now using personal bibliographic managers such as Reference Manager, EndNote and ProCite to access bibliographic databases via the Z39.50 protocol. With the EndNote software as an example, this paper demonstrates how researchers are using a standard search interface to access diverse databases and download references into their personal databases. There follows an overview of problems involved in searching the Z39.50 servers of some standard library automation systems (Innovative Interfaces, GEAC, SIRSI, Endeavour) and of two vendors of non-OPAC databases (Research Libraries Group and SilverPlatter). The paper concludes with some suggestions as to how the library community can contribute to improving the effectiveness of Z39.50 as a research tool.

Abstract

Describes the components and uses of computerized library information systems. Examines the rules stipulated by S.R. Ranganathan in his Classified Catalogue Code (ed.5) (CCC5) for the construction of catalogues and preparation of bibliographies from the point of view of their relevance and suitability for creating bibliographic databases. Compares rules of CCC5 with those of AACR2 and suggests modification of existing rules as well as incorporation of new rules. Concludes that in developing online catalogues or online bibliographic databases, it is neither essential nor desirable to follow strictly the rules of specific traditional catalogue codes such as AACR2 or CCC5. Describes a design for a prototype integrated database for a library system with the aid of CDS/ISIS software

Abstract

Will man sich auf dem weiten Feld der Datenverarbeitung die Entwicklungsstadien der letzten drei Jahrzehnte vergegenwärtigen, ist es hilfreich, mindestens vier Aspekte in den Blick zu nehmen: - Hardware: Industrie, Systeme - Software: Programmierung, Sprachen, Entwicklungssysteme - Software: Konkrete Anwendungsfelder, z.B. Bibliothekswesen - Bestimmte Anwendungssysteme, z.B. allegro-C Am Beispiel des an der UB Braunschweig entstandenen Systems allegro-C, dessen Entwicklung 1980 begann und bis heute andauert, lassen sich die Trends, die Evo- und Revolutionen der 30 Jahre nachverfolgen, und dies wird hier versucht. Die Stationen und Etappen der allegro-Geschichte sind knapp aufgelistet in einer Chronik, die ihrerseits im Kern eine spezialisierte allegro-Datenbank ist. Für die Anfangszeit bis Ende 1994 existiert eine ausführliche Darstellung der Entwicklung von Torsten Ahlers.

Abstract

Standards are important for quality and interoperability in any system. Bibliographic record creation standards such as MARC 21 (Machine Readable Catalogue), CCF (Common Communication Format), UNIMARC (Universal MARC) and their local variations, are in practice all across the library community. ILMS (Integrated Library Management Systems) are using these standards for the design of databases and the creation of bibliographic records. Their use is important for uniformity of the system and bibliographic data, but there are problems when a library wants to switch over from one system to another using different standards. This paper discusses migration from one record standard to another, mapping of data and related issues. Data exported from CDS/ISIS CCF based records to KOHA MARC 21 based records are discussed as a case study. This methodology, with few modifications, can be applied for migration of data in other bibliographicformats too. Freeware tools can be utilized for migration.

Abstract

Why we organize our personal digital data the way we do and how design of new PIM systems can help us manage our information more efficiently. Each of us has an ever-growing collection of personal digital data: documents, photographs, PowerPoint presentations, videos, music, emails and texts sent and received. To access any of this, we have to find it. The ease (or difficulty) of finding something depends on how we organize our digital stuff. In this book, personal information management (PIM) experts Ofer Bergman and Steve Whittaker explain why we organize our personal digital data the way we do and how the design of new PIM systems can help us manage our collections more efficiently.

Abstract

Describes the development, by the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, Malaya University, of ONLIS (Online Library Information System), a customized user interface for coputerized MARC cataloguing and information retrieval, targeted for use in small libraries and information centres. Micro CDS/ISIS ver. 3.07 software package and its built in PAscal language were used for the design process and development. Design philosophy centres on the development of a very user friendly and simple interface, capable of mimicking the salient features of a contemporary commercial library package, yet easy to implement and maintain in a small library environment requiring little or no technical expertise. The system incorporates many new features and comprises 2 main components: data entry and file maintenace; and information retrieval. A security system is incorporated into the former environment to ensure data integrity and regulate important file maintenance tasks. While the system is ready for immediate implementation in libraries, modifications and enhancements are currently being undertaken to make it a truly reliable product. Concludes that some degree of user training in MARC and cataloguing using AACR2 is necessary to get the maximum benefits from the systems
