- Abstract
- Describes an investigation of attitudes to the LION (Library Integrated Online Network) online public access catalogue at Liverpool Polytechnic Library (now Liverpool John Moores University) using observation and a questionnaire survey of 55 library users. The reaction to the automation of the library catalogue was positive and it appears to have improved service to users but more user education and guidance would result in a further improvement

- Abstract
- Provides a brief summary of an OCLC funded project 'Identifying barriers to effective subject access in library catalogues'. The study investigated the probability that a skilled catalogue user would retrieve 'the best' materials on some subject, and if they were unable to do so, to determine how this could be improved. The transformation of the card catalogue onto an online database has not improved subject access. Offers a view of research in the context of the education and research roles of the library and information science educator. Discusses the university research environment, teaching students research skills and OCLC

- Abstract
- In order to find and correct spelling errors in the online public access catalog at Adelphi University, a visual inspection was performed of the 117.000 keywords indexed in the system. More than 1.000 errors were found. Certain long but common words such as administration, education, and commercial were found to generate many different misspellings. Most of the records were derived from bibliographic utilities, so the findings can be generalized to other OPACs. The same misspellings were also found in substantial numbers in CD-ROM databases. Misspellings were analyzed by the machine-readable catalog (MARC) field in which they were found, part of speech, and type of mistake. Lists of commonly misspelled root words and specific mistakes are included

- Abstract
- Desicusses the user training programme of the Helsinki University of Technology Library in the light of an internordic monitoring project. In the project, the use of OPACs was evaluated by analyzing the transaction logs and it was concluded that end users do not exploit the various possibilities of OPACs. A large part of the material found in the collections in the library is not retrieved: misspellings, lack of truncation, inequate use of Boolean operators and wrong database choices lead to ineffective retrieval. Emphasis in the online catalogue training has been on the 'hands on' exercises and it appears that the training programme is not very effective in the area of subject searching. Presents reasons for this and discusses plans for the future development of the library user training programme

- Abstract
- The provision of a comprehensive network of see and see also subject cross references has troubled cataloguers. Describes a survey in May 91 to explore Australian academic library practices with regard to the provision of cross references and perceptions of the importance of these in the light of OPAC searching capabilities. The study examines the provision of syndetic structure (hierarchical and related references) using LCSH. The study was limited to the appliation of LCSH in higher education, TAFE and state libraries with OPACs. Considers whether aspects pf LoC subject cataloguing policies and individual library practices are changing with the shift from the manual to the online environment. Offers labour-saving options tp provide user access to the syndetic structure of LCSH

- Abstract
- Investigates the reasons for one category of zeor hit author searches - that of plausible but unverifiable names - encountered by end users of the NOTIS OPAC at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The names were not found in the national bibliographic utility (OCLC), the local database (LUIS), the local card catalogue, or large online files of journal articles (Wilson indexes). Concludes that, while the problem of user queries resulting in no retrievals cannot be entirely remedied, a number of things can be done to minimize the problem, including: putting in palce an international system to exchange authority data for names; simplification of cataloguing riles; a retrieval system that allows natural language best match retrieval, ranked output, relevance feedback, and other post Boolean techniques; expanded use of keyword searching; and user education

- Abstract
- This paper describes the Book House system which is designed to support children's information retrieval in libraries as part of their education. It is a shareware program available on CD-ROM and discs, and comprises functionality for database searching as well as for the classification and storage of book information in the database. The system concept is based on an understanding of children's domain structures and their capabilities for categorization of information needs in connection with their activities in public libraries, in school libraries or in schools. These structures are visualized in the interface by using metaphors and multimedia technology. Through the use of text, images and animation, the Book House supports children - even at a very early age - to learn by doing in an enjoyable way which plays on their previous experiences with computer games. Both words and pictures can be used for searching; this makes the system suitable for all age groups. Even children who have not yet learned to read properly can by selecting pictures search for and find books they would like to have read aloud. Thus at the very beginning of their school period, they can learn to search for books on their own. For the library community itself, such a system will provide an extended service which will increase the number of children's own searches and also improve the relevance, quality and utilization of the collections in the libraries. A market research on the need for an annual indexing service for books in the Book House format is in preparation by the Danish Library Center

- Abstract
- Analyses the OPAC at the Australian Catholic University in New South Wales, Castle Hill Campus using an object oriented model following Rumbaugh's methodology, as described in 'Object oriented modelling and design, 1991'. The process of analysis, although difficult, is one of the most effective ways of determining each function of a system of this kind. The methodology is especially useful as the data structure, behavioural and functional aspects of the system are displayed in separate diagrams. This is an advantage for those analysing systems, who can display many factors without confusing different aspects involved in the analysis process

- Abstract
- As we seek both to improve public school education in high technology areas and to link libraries and classrooms on the 'information superhighway', we need to understand more about children's information searching abilities. We present results of 4 experiments conducted on 4 versions of the Science Library Catalog (SLC), a Dewey Decimal based hierarchical browsing systems implemeted in HyperCard without a keyboard. The experiments were conducted over a 3-year period at 3 sites, with 4 databases, and with comparisons to 2 different keyword online catalogs. Subjects were ethnically and culturally diverse children aged 9 through 12; with 32 to 34 children participating in each experiment. Children were provided explicit instruction and reference materials for the keyword systems but not for the SLC. The number of search topics matched was comparable across all systems and all experiments; search times were comparable, thought hey varied among the 4 SLC versions and between the 2 keyword OPACs. The SLC overall was robust to differences in age, sex and computer experience. One of the keyword OPACs was subject to minor effects of age and computer experience; the other was not. We found relationships between search topic and system structure, such that the most difficult topics on the SLC were those hard to locate in the hierarchy, and those most difficult on the keyword OPACs were hard to spell or required children to generate their own search terms. The SLC approach overcomes problems with several searching features that are difficult for children in typical keyword OPAC systems; typing skills, spelling, vocabulary, and Boolean logic. Results have general implications for the desing of information retrieval systems for children
