    Abstract
    Although research and teaching can (and should) be seen as international, there must also be an underlying national focus, based on the structure of higher education in a particular country and a corresponding unique pattern of teaching and research. This column therefore looks at research and teaching in metadata in the UK and Ireland, since I work at Strathclyde University in the UK that teaches and researches metadata. This column illustrates that, indeed, the current state of research and teaching in metadata is currently healthy in the UK and Ireland. There are a variety or research activities related to metadata taking place. These range from metadata for digital preservation through 'mainstream' metadata applications in library and information work to contributing to work an the semantic web itself. Among the leading organisational foci of metadata research in the UK are: - the Metadata Group at UKOLN (formerly the UK Office of Library and Information Networking) at the University of Bath (http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/) - the Semantic Web Research Group at the Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) at the University of Bristol (http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk/discovery/) - the Centre for Digital Library Research (CDLR) at the University of Strathclyde (http://cdlr.strath.ac.uk/).

    Abstract
    Purpose - Reflects on a paper extolling teaching cataloguing and indexing at library school written for Library Review in 1980. Design/methodology/approach - Reflective debate on the content of the original paper. Findings - The sentiments of the original paper were supported, with the added proviso that nowadays the ability to organise information is a basic skill everyone needs. Practical implications - May be of interest to practitioners and library educators interested in this long standing debate. Originality/value - Paper carries a response by the original author to the reflections on his paper.

    Abstract
    Describes the concept of a virtual reality library. Since a desktop virtual reality package is needed to construct a virtual reality library, the expected functionality of such software is discussed in general terms. Discusses one such virtual reality package, REND386, in detail and shows how it can be used to build a working prototype of a virtual reality library

    Abstract
    State of the art review of the trend towards library and information science professionals becoming deeply involved in the process of knowledge engineering: knowledge engineers being those who build expert systems, or knowledge based systems that emulate the performance of human experts in particular tasks or domains. Shows how library and information science professionals have fared as knowledge engineers and how their involvement relates to the perception of library and information science professionals as knowledge engineers. Discusses the tools and techniques of knowledge engineering as they have been applied to the library and information science domain, and looks at the involvement of library and information science professionals in knowledge engineering outside library and information science

    Abstract
    It is argued that the current generation of online catalogues do not meet basic user expectations about how to search for information. After a brief examination of virtual reality and its associated technology, a new form of online catalogue, the 'virtual reality library' is proposed. Users browse an information space, a computer-controlled set of shelf orderings for items. Its form, workings and design are investigated in detail. The concept of the virtual reality library is then applied to information resources which either have no physical repository or have one which is not accessible to users

    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
    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
