    Abstract
    This paper speculates on directions for research in the field of bibliographical control, where bibliographical control is taken to include indexing, classification, and cataloging. The approach taken is to consider questions in the field that need answering. The position taken is that while concerns of a how-to-do-it nature drive this field's research, which is of an evaluative or developmental nature, there is a strong need for this research to be backed by basic theoretical research

    Abstract
    Classification research at any point in time is the resultant product of various philosophical, technological, social, economic, and political forces. This address attemps first to give a partial description of the present state of classification research as determined by one of these forces: philosophy, in particular the 20th century analytic philosophies of logical positivism, linguistic analysis and systems analysis; and, second, assuming the continued influence of these, to speculate upon the future of classification research in terms of its prospects, problems and possibilities

    Abstract
    The issue of free-text versus controlled vocabulary is examined in this article. The history of the issue, which is seen as beginning with the debate over title term indexing in the last century, is reviewed and the attention is turned to questions which have not been satisfactorily addressed by previous research. The point is made that these questions need to be answered if we are to design retrieval tools, such as thesauri, upon a national basis

    Abstract
    The advent of the computer has brought epistemological questions, heretofore the province of classificationists and philosophers, into the limelight of popular thought. No longer of only theoretical interest, such questions stand in need of operational answers, at least if computers are to process information intelligently. Answers to these questions are embodied in what today are known as knowledge representations. Knowledge representations are used for a variety of related purposes, including language and text understanding, cognitive research, expert system development and information retrieval. This paper focuses on the use of three computer-based knowledge representations of potential relevance for information retrieval: hypertext systems, cluster analysis and knowledge representations accomodating rule-based reasoning. It then considers research that might be pursued to inform the development of knowledge representations for information retrieval

    Abstract
    Reports the results of research designed to explore the feasibility of automatically deriving name access points from machine readable title pages of English language monographs. Results show that approximately 88% of the access points selected by the Library of Congress or the National Library of Medicine could be automatically derived from title page data. These results have implications for the design of bibliographic standards and on-line catalogues.

    Abstract
    In an interview with Dorothy McGarry, Elaine Svenonius discusses her many-faceted career. Topics include her research interests in subject and descriptive cataloging (Svenonius notes that it "takes some untangling of vocabulary and semantics to see that the traditional bifurcation separating subject and descriptive cataloging is artificial"); her teaching experience, especially her use of Andrew Osborn's "active learning" seminar method; and her views about the development of information science and its relationship to librarianship.

    Abstract
    Different types of eveidence used in answering the question: what is good indexing? are considered. The evidence is presented in the context of the method on inquiry which produced mysticism, rationalism or empiricism. The method of mysticism is illustrated with reference to Cutter and the problem of specific entry. Ranganathan's approach to the controversy over alphabetical vs. classified arrangement is used to illustrate the method of rationalism. Cleverdon's work is taken as an example of the method of empiricism. In providing evidence for good indexing, the method of empiricism is found wanting. It is suggested that the method be improved by fundamental research into problems of sampling and definition, and that it be supplementend by other methods of inquiry

    Abstract
    The problem addressed in this paper is that of simplifying access point determination. A critique is made of the simple, mechanical rule whereby every name appearing in certain designatable locations within a publication qualifies as an access point. Then a more acceptable version of the every-name-an-access-point rule is tested empirically against a sample of 400 English language monographs. Conclusions reached concern (1) the responsibility profiles of these monographs, i.e., how many authors, editors, illustrators and emanators are typically associated with them and in what combinations, and (2) the relative productivity of different locations within them, e.g., title pages and tables of contents, as sources of access points. The study was conceived to be exploratory in nature and its findings suggest further research that could be done to provide empirical validation for rules for access point determination.
