Abstract

Report of a project commissioned by British Library Research and Development Department (BLRDD) from Electronic Publishing Services Ltd designed to provide factual input about electronic publishing in the UK for a worlking party convened by the British Library as part of a follow up to the Information 2000 exercise, completed in 1991. The working party will consider the possible impacts on the library community of the development of electronic publishing. For the purpose of this study, electronic publishing was defined as including: online services (including videotex); magnetic tape services; magnetic disk products; CD-ROM and other optical disc products; ROM cards; and electronic periodicals. The main conclusions were: that the dominant position of Reuters and other financial information services means that online information retrieval still accounts for the vast majority of electronic publishing revenues; that CD-ROM is experiencing high growth, but growth from a small base and coming later than predicted; that network publishing is still in the experimental stage and almost entirely funded from the public sector; that ROM cards, which provide the medium for hand held electronic reference books are still present in the market and represent the only mass market channel; and that other electronic media (magnetic tape, magnetic disk, analogue videodisc) are not seen as having a significant part to play

Abstract

Reports results of research into the UK book publishing and supply industry (booksellers, publishers, public libraries and academic libraries, library suppliers and wholesalers) to: review current experience of electronic trading or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI); identify best practice; track business benefits against costs where possible; anf highlight the lessons learned in planning, implementation and roll out of electronic trading. The research was conducted by identifying one key player in each sector who is active in electronic trading and by interviewing the individual(s) responsible for that organisation's electronic trading

Abstract

Examines the place of CD-ROMs in academic libraries and in particular the use of network solutions to widen the access to these services. A questionnaire survey was undertaken of academic libraries in the UK, Eire, USA and Canada and the results analysed. 9 UK libraries were selected as case studies for more detailed examinations of the issues involved: in particular the management issues. These case studies were selected to cover a variety of experiences and circumstances. A parallel survey looked at CD-ROM publishing and a questionnaire survey was sent to publishers but the response was not as good as the previous survey. Trends in CD-ROM publishing, including the future of CD-ROM in the views of the publishers and of librarians, suggest that other electronic media may replace CD-ROM for some applications but that CD-ROM is likely to remain a part of hybrid information systems. The networking of CD-ROM services is constrained by the cost, by technical complexity, and by restrictive licensing agreements. Future electronic information services may include regionally or nationally mounted databases accessible over the Internet or over SuperJanet in the UK. Issues such as the electronic library or the virtual library, and document delivery services are likely to gain prominence

Abstract

Report commissioned by Book Industry Communications (BIC) and funded by the British National Bibliography Research Fund and the Britsh National Bibliographic Service. The aims of the project were: to review the provisions for bibliographic data within EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport); to compare those provisions with the BIC draft standards for bibliographic databases and the book publishing industry, and to examine the implications for MARC based databases, such as UKMARC

Abstract

Describes the final phase of the work on the ELINOR (Electronic Library INformation Online Retrieval) project at De Montfort University, Leicester, which concluded in 1996. ELINOR was 2 phase project with 3 overall goals: to create a practical pilot system based on a commercial product (Excalibur EFS); to investigate the expansion of a small scale electronic library to a larger, distributed library system; and to develop a more efficient and effective means of accessing and sharing resources within a networked multi campus institution. ELINOR was successful in demonstrating that libraries may conveniently digitize and supply smal collections of high demand materials over a campus network in text anf TIFF format. Operational conditions have so far indicated that the barriers are not technological but involve copyright, use issues and sustainability

Abstract

Reports on the findings of the major study, carried out by the Royal Society, etc. and prompted by the concern felt about the increasing signs of strain in the scientific, technical and medical information systems (STM) and the consequences for technical research. The report is a follow up to the earlier study (BLRDD report 5626) with the aim of covering the trends which have developed since the earlier report was published (online information retrieval, electronic networks, CD-ROM etc.). The study covers: the nature of the UK scientific, technical and medical information system; users of the STM information system; the changing role of libraries and librarians with regard to periodicals, books and other services; economic aspects of the STM information system (research libraries, primary publishing, secondary publishing, and value of scientific research); economic aspects of the STM information system, and perceived problems and potential changes with regard to primary periodicals, electronic periodicals, user interaction, and funding of the services. The data derived from the user survey and the library survey are published in full with analysis. Presents the conclusions and recommendations arising from the study

Abstract

Describes the ELINOR (Electronic Library INformation Online Retrieval) Electronic Library Project, at De Montfort University, UK, which aims to convert library primary materials and course documents to electronic form and to make the full text documents accessible to teaching staff and students in an electronic workstation environment. This pilot phase of the ELINOR Electronic Library Project demonstrated the feasibility of collecting electronic documents for 1 undergraduate course, BA/BSc Business Information Systems (BIS), and the benefits of optical character recognition (OCR) and scanning and document image processing (DIP) techniques in a client server environment. A key feature of the project was the negotiation of short term licences from 11 publishers for 53 textbooks. Publishers were prepared to participate in the project to provide useful early experience in copyright management on small scale

Abstract

During 1996, the number of scholarly periodicals, either commercially published or free, available in electronic form increased rapidly. The Cafe Jus project took advantage of this critical mass of electronic journals to mount a user study with taught postgraduate students, research students and academic and research staff in various disciplines at Loughborough University. The main conclusions were that: low-level technical problems are still a deterrent to use of electronic journals; people prefer not to read at length on screen, but printing out is slow, commercial publishers tend to follow the lead of technology rather than consider the convenience of their users; at present there is a significant need for user training, exacerbated by the variety of publishers' interface and their speed of change; and free journals using HTML arre preferred to commercial journals using PDF for convenience of reading but are regarded as lower in academic quality

Abstract

Considers teleworking in the UK from the perspective of the library and information community the effects of isolation on teleworkers' access to information. Examines the actual and potential roles of libraries, business support services, electronic networks, associations for teleworkers and unions in the provision of information for teleworkers. Concludes that associations for teleworkers and electronic networks are useful sources of information and new contacts. The potential of public libraries could be realized more fully as librarians become skilled in Internet searching. Libraries will become more attractive to teleworkers if the recommendations of the final report of the Public Library Review are implemented
