Abstract

Analyses 5 articles on subjects of bibliographic interest in the 1st ed. (1751-80) of Encyclopedie, now re-issued in facsimile form. The article headings (translated) are Bibliomane, Bibliomania, Librarian, Library, and Catalogue. The relevant authors include Diderot, d'Alembert and David, among others. By identifying likely sources, the analysis throws light on library science developments in the early 18th century. D'Alembert's contribution, in particular, contains the seeds of the modern view of what libraries ought not to be

Abstract

Illustrates how a public library reference service that aims to utilise all types of information resources, both traditional and electronic, increases the options available to users but at the same time risks the emergence of 'Chaotic' situations, arising from inadequate training of the librarian; damage to or misuse of equipment by users; breaches of copyright; or the unforeseen hidden costs involved in Internet based resources. Discusses the 2 levels of training needed by electronic reference librarians; the essential knowledge they require; the pros and cons of reference service fee charging; and the problem of finding the right balance between CD-ROM and Internet resources
