Abstract

Queries the interpretations of the 'virtual library' made by authors and others. It is erroneous to relate the term to the possibilities of delivering the full text plus images of articles and books to the client's terminal, irrespective of where the client is located. Offers 3 definitions of 'vitual reality' taken from the literature. The concept is in its infacy. it will be many years before it becomes applied to libraries. The 'electronic library', 'the library without walls' and 'the networked library' are all acceptable terms

Abstract

Considers virtual reality and the applications of virtual reality that information workers will need to assimilate in the next decade or so. Considers possible applications in the library and information world, for example the extension of the notion of the virtual library using virtual reality

Abstract

Outlines existing treaties and legislation relating to copyright such as the Berne Convention, the Unfair Contract Terms Act and the concept of fair dealing. Assesses the role of Electronic Copyright Management Systems (ECMS) in protecting holders of rights; their relationship to the law in the UK, USA, and Europe; and their value in providing an agreed framework between libraries, users and publishers, so that the concept of the 'electronic' library can become a reality

Abstract

The study of information needs has long be acknowlegded as one of the most important factors in the design of information services but has been hampered by the severe problem of designing user studies that will reliably measure them. Reviews the literature of previous research in this field, concluding that time and money are the chief constraints on information seeking behaviour. Describes a new observational technique for identifying the information needs of users and reports results of a small scale experiment to test the methodology. The observational technique involves the researcher being with the subject continuously throughout the day and observing their actions. The behaviour recorded was any action taken in order to answer a question. A small scale study was undertaken of 3 academics from the Psychology Department, University of Strathclyde, using the observational technique. The preferred technique of all the academics was to carry out their own research, followed by consultation with other individuals. One lecturer was a significantly heavier user of electronic media than the other two. The preferred physical locations of the information sources were personal collections and the University Library. One lecturer consistently used a wide range of sources while the other two strongly preferred to use personal contacts. Informal sources were found to be twice as popular as formal sources. A follow up questionnaire survey examined the possibility that previous training in the use of the library could explain the differences in the use of electronic information sources but results were found to be negative. Concludes that the new research tool developed for this type of study is both robust and likely to yield reliable information about user information needs
