    Abstract
    RDA (Resource Description and Access) was released in July 2010, and made available for use, either in an online form, the RDA Toolkit (http://beta.rdatoolkit.gvpi.net/) or in printed form, in a large loose-leaf binder. In July 2011, the Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine, and the National Agricultural Library announced the decision to adopt RDA after conducting trials. The decision to adopt RDA though carried riders on certain perceived issues to be resolved, related to rules readability, online delivery issues of the RDA Toolkit and a business case outlining costs and benefits of adoption. It appears though that, allowing for these issues to be dealt with, RDA will begin adoption in 2013 and will gradually replace the aged AACR2 (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition). Unlike AACR2, RDA was intended to also provide subject access. As RDA currently stands, Chapters 12-16, 23, 33-37 are intended to establish guidelines for providing subject access, but only Chapter 16, 'Identifying Places' is complete.. This paper will outline possible strategies for moving forward in completing the remaining blank chapters, based on the model given in the recent Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (IFLA Working Group, 2010), here-after referred to as FRSAD. This paper begins by outlining significant developments prior to the appearance of FRSAD which was formerly known as FRSAR. This involves coverage of the two preceding reports, the Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records (FRBR, IFLA 2008) and the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD, IFLA 2009), which was formerly known as FRANAR. The final version of FRSAD, released in 2009, will be contrasted to earlier efforts to extend the FRBR/FRAD models to fully cover subject access. Finally, a prospective proposal to take FRSAD forward to implementation using PRECIS (Preserved Context Indexing System) will be examined, as well as the general reception of FRSAD.

    Abstract
    Presents a state of the art review of WWW search engines from the earliest Internet precursors and noting: prblems inherent in the current range of WWW search engines; problems of searching the WWW (link persistence and lack of integrated search software); and analyzing the resulting search engine types (keyword or directory). Compares search engines of all types across their generic features (database content, retrieval software, and search interface), rather than on a search engine by search engine basis. Considers wider information access issues arising from the nature of the Internet and Web search engines and proposes a general strategy for using web search engines. Comments on the irony that a unitary global information space accessible via 1 freely accessible software package (WWW client browser) should be so balkanized by a plethora of search engines in complete reverse of the traditional world of printed, CD-ROM and online databases, where a limited number and comparatively stable range of search tools attemps to homogenize a large number of physically separate and disparate collections

    Abstract
    Examines the effects of the Internet on the work of descriptive cataloguer. Most of the effects stem from services available via the WWW and Web sites. These services either put the desriptive cataloguer in closer contact with suppliers, publishers, or vendors,or offer access to a vast range of reference or cataloguing information. Such services provided by the WWW will have a profound influence on the practice of descriptove cataloguing

    Abstract
    Proposes a model of a hypermedia software package fronting an existing database that would be applicable to the type of database used by museums for use by the public developed by Loughborough University, Department of Information and Library Studies, and Leicester University, Department of Museums Studies. Museums have text databases of their collections that, for public use, would require navigational access. Focuses on the design of a hypermedia front end for a hypothetical museum, using services information and object records from real museums. The resulting Hypermuse system consists of a 386 personal computer running dBase as a back end and an Apple Macintosh LC running HyperCard as the front end: a serial link, managed at each end by the packages pcAnywhere and Commstalk respectively, connects the machines. When evaluated, the prototype system was found to be basically sound but in need of minor improvements in the front end. Concludes that the concept is viable for implementation in museums

    Abstract
    Hypermedia offers a new paradigm for the design of information systems, yet there are few working applications. The best situation is for a database to hold information and a hypermedia package to provide the interface. Explains why museum information systems are ideal for investigating the augmentation of traditional databases with hypermedia. 2 leading examples in the UK are the Micro Gallery at the National Gallery and the Design Museum public catalogue. Describes a prototype development of an interface for the visiting public to allow access to the museum database. Object records from Leicestershire Museums local collection and the George III collection of early scientific instruments from the Science Museum, London, were used. Object records were stored on an IBM PC in dBase databases. The hypermedia front-end was built using Hypercard on a Macintosh LC computer. Covers system design and evaluation
