- Abstract
- A browsable display under a specific search term can often frustrate users if the display is carried over several screens. This article investigates methods of compressing headings identified by MARC subfield codes to reduce the size of browsable displays. Arguments are presented that a more efficient system design can be achieved by machine sorting of subdivisions via a conceptual, rather than alphabetical, approach. The author concludes that system architecture for browsable subject index displays must be redesigned to relieve the user of the burden of data organization

Discusses some of the typical enhancements that may be applied: additional subject headings; tables of contents; summaries, abstracts or contents notes; classification numbers

- Abstract
- The need for subject access on OPACs has been widely recognised since early development in the USA. Many OPACs in UK academic libraries provide subject access to catalogue records, mostly through search strategies such as keyword access or subject headings searches. However, users do find subject searching more difficult than known-item searching so most OPAC systems provide help screens to assist users in their searches

- Abstract
- Current OPAC show their weakness in terms of ease of use and comprehension of user requests, and more generally in man/machine dialogue. Most OPAC searches are for subjects and these give the word results. Natural language processing techniques exist to reduce these difficulties. In France, natural language processing has been used to access the yellow pages (headings) of the French phone directory and the telematics services directory; examples are included. No doubt the future library systems will use these techniques to make the new OPACs really open, public, accessible and co-operative (user-friendly)

Describes visits to 3 scientific libraries in Montreal which provide OPACs: the library of the Ecole Polytechnique which offers ARCHIMEDE; the scientific library of the University of Quebec which offers BADADUQ; and the Physical Sciences and Engineering Library of McGill University which offers MUSE. Compares user training programmes offered by each of these libraries and discusses the librarians' responses to a questionnaire on user training under the following headings: mode of learning; teacher participation; marketing policy; and statistics of OPAC usage

- Abstract
- Presents the results of research carried out to discover whether or not the ability to search an online catalogue using keywords is a reasonably alternative to a built-in cross reference structure for variant forms. MARC records were checked against LoC authorities for references from non-preferred headings. All keywords in these references were then compared, and matched, when possible, with keywords in any MARC fields

- Abstract
- A survey of catalogue use in 1993 at Utrecht University in the Netherlands showed considerable dissatisfaction with the online catalogue's subject search facilities. Of those who used subject searching 64% preferred subject headings against only 2% who chose classification schedules. Library users make little use of the existing facilities for assistance and leaflets which are available in the library. It has, therefore, been decided to provide a programme of instruction in library use and to move towards a unified system of subject access to the library's catalogue

- Abstract
- Contribution to a thematic issue devoted to a subject control in on-line catalogues. Examines whether a subject cataloguing code is, at this point in time, necessary or economically feasible, as well as questioning who will develop such a code and if experiences with AACR2 should make librarians fearful or hopeful about similar work with subject headings.

- Abstract
- A study of the online catalogues of major academic libraries and databases in the Netherlands shows considerable variation in the form of name used for the author W.F. Hermans. The problem lies with a lack of authority control in headings used in the Dutch national union Pica catalogue. Reactions from 2 cataloguers point to the difficulties in maintaining catalogues in the face of reduced funding and to the important role played by the Pica project in improving library services and reducing cataloguing backlogs

- Description of an attempt to improve OPAC subject access at Kobe University Library using Nippon Decimal Classification, 8th ed. (NDC8). Examines the theoretical aspects of using a classification for subject searching, then explains the Kobe system. Using the NDC8 machine-readable data file, a database was created for the OPAC, incorporating class numbers and subject headings. Difficulties arise from subdivisions and the structure of NDC8 itself, but it is an important area for development

- Abstract
- Purpose - The paper aims to describe a proof of concept web application designed to allow users to search for library materials with geographic subject headings using Google Maps as the primary interface for navigation. The purpose of the paper is to describe the development of an innovative tool that one library has created to provide users with a new way to access bibliographic records. Design/methodology/approach - The approach taken is descriptive, with the development process for the proof of concept laid out in detail and placed it within the broader contexts of web application development at the host library and the emergence of Web 2.0 tools. Findings - The paper shows that unique and valuable new methods of accessing bibliographic data can be created through the use of application programming interfaces (APIs), one of the more powerful tools available to web application developers today. Research limitations/implications - Challenges of working with geographic information in subject headings of bibliographic records are discussed, and potential methods for dealing with these challenges are described. Originality/value - The paper shows that it is possible to use APIs provided by large internet entities such as Google to create map based navigational tools for accessing bibliographic information. It also shows the value of allowing library systems staff to explore new technologies.

- Abstract
- Results of previous catalog research indicate that users want improvements in subject searching features, noting display of terms related to their topics as especially desirable. This study reports the findings of an examination of subject searchers' use of such a feature provided through online display of authority information from Library of Congress Subject Headings for terms used in the catalog. It was found that, of the terms entered by users, 78 percent were an exact or close match to catalog terms, and another 14 percent matched "see" references. Although additional information was available for nearly half of the searches performed, it was used in only 28 percent of these cases. It is suggested that improvements in subject searching features are needed to encourage use of available syndetic structures
