- Abstract
- In 1986, all titles added to the collection at the Australian Defence Force Academy Library, are processed through their OPAC via a subject enhancement procedure (ESP). The procedure used for subject enhancement is based on the techniques developed by P.A. Atherton and B. Settel during the Subject Access Project at Syracuse Univ., 1977. Terms are selected from contents pages or the index of the book, depending on whether the terms are content bearing, and whether the terms refer to 5 or more pages of text. This results in the addition of an average of 73 words or 20 phrases to each MARC record. The terms are keyed into the MARC field 653 using in house modifications of the library's URICA system

- Abstract
- Myriad new information resources are available to contemporary library users. While print remains the foundation of most collections, libraries are also beginning to provide access to an array of bibliographic, numeric, and full-text databases. As more and more information is produced in electronic form and presented at computer workstations, the library catalog is being given an expanded role. The expanded catalog will play a crucial part in organizing information in electronic libraries, and in providing navigational assistance to library users. Like the traditional card catalog, the expanded catalog will not only lead to specific items or groups of sources, but also will provide connections to related materials. These connections will uses standard data elements to link the results of a search in one database with related material in another. For example, links will show local library holdings of sources in citation databases. Cornell University's Mann Library serves the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Human Ecology, and the Division of Biological Sciences. As part of electronic library development, Mann staff have been analyzing issues involved in making it possible for Agricola and BIOSIS users to see, automatically, which of their retrieved citations are from sources available in the Cornell libraries. Samples of citations from Agricola and BIOSIS were drawn, and data elements present in these records were compared with bibliographic records of the library's holdings. In some cases, links would be provided by ISSNs. The study shows, however, that the presence of standard identifiers such as ISSN, USBN, or CODEN cannot be assumed, and other linking algorithms must be developed. This article presents study results, provides an overview of several linking systems, and identifies some of the difficulties caused by lack of standardization between different bibliographic databases. It is clear that the concept of an expanded catalog will require not only links between information resources but agreements among information professionals on standard data elements.

- Abstract
- Contents enhancement of catalog records may increase access to books in collections and aid in effective resource sharing by providing more detailed descriptions about library holdings in the catalog. A sample of monographs in San Diego State Univ. Library was studied to determine the extent to which information in books from parts of the collection could be represented better by content notes, and to determine how much of this information has subject or analytical applications. The study revealed that approximately 23% of the books contain discrete content information not already represented in catalog records that could be added. Of those, 52% would be citation-based enhancements and 48% would be subject-based. Nearly 65% would require fewer than 25 enhancements, with an average of 8.03 enhancements per book for the total population

- Abstract
- With the advent of online public access catalogs, catalog librarians and their staffs have been freed from the labor-intensive processes involved in the creation and maintenance of card catalogs. At the Medical University of South Carolina Library, this new found time has been devoted to enhancing access to the library's collections. Enhancements discussed include the creation of bibliographic records for vertical file materials, the National Library of Medicine bibliographies, and reserve items, as well as providing subject access to individual chapters in books and articles in monographic serials.

- Abstract
- Contents notes can improve online access to works containing essays, short stories, and significantly titles chapters. Few records in bibliographic utilities include contents notes. The OCLC PRISM service may provide an opportunity to cooperatively build a contents-enriched database. This paper discusses some issues related to the creation of enhanced records and their display in online cataloges. It also describes one library's efforts to add contents notes lically and to participate in an anticipated OCLC pilot project

- Abstract
- Describes an approach to indexing which seeks to eliminate the shortcoming of the representation of information in existing bibliographic catalogues: Subject Access Project (SAP) indexing which has been used successfully at Lund University and elsewhere. Existing catalogue records have been enriched with terms selected from lists of contents and indexes in books thus facilitating access to specific parts of documents and smaller semantic entites such as chapter titles, subject titles and data in graphic or tabulated form available in a wide range of publications

- Abstract
- Since Dec 86, the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) library has been enriching bibliographic records by adding terms from either the contents pages or indexes of books. 40.000 records are now enriched, representing about 25% coverage of the ADFA database of 210.000 titles. Evaluates the retrieval effectiveness of the enriched data in an OPAC, in comparison with title and LCSH, using 90 topics from 6 different subject areas

- Abstract
- Shortened and revised version of a paper presented during an Education Librarian's Group session at the Under One Umbrella Two Conference, organized by the Library Association in Manchester, 9-11 Jul 93. With the possibility of free text searching and easy access to CD-ROM databases, users often do not realise that subject searching is enhanced by familiarity with the controlled vocabulary underlying the indexing system of the database. Discusses the construction of information retrieval thesauri, the problems of terminology and how the use of thesauri can make searching more effective, using education thesauri as examples

- Abstract
- This report describes an experiment in subject enhancement conducted at an academic research library. Subjects and contents notes were added to online catalog records for a group of previously uncirculated social science essay collections, and circulation was monitored over one academic year. A control group, plus a third group with added contents notes but no extra subjects, were also monitored. Results showed an improvement in recorded use for the subject-enhanced titles, but not for titles that only had added contents notes. The effects of browsing, keyword searching, and OPAC display are discussed

- Abstract
- Describes the Intelligent Literature Search Assistant (ILSA) which demonstrates the possibilities of a fully automated cataloguing workbench in an object orientated environment. Although developed with OPAC users in mind, it can be very useful to cataloguers in aiding both classification and subject heading access. Also describes work done at the University of Strathclyde in the area of machine learning and knowledge based systems, the Structured Information Management: Processing and Retrieval project (SIMPR). Advocates the use of uncontrolled vocabulary headings in conjunction with systems like ILSA, a layered approach rather than direct first point access, in order to make subject cataloguing easier and more relevant and the subject catalogue more useful to others
