Abstract: Describes a project designed to integrate art into the children's library at Espergaerde in Denmark. Explains the aims of the project, principally to make the use of the library an artistic experience, and the 3 tasks the project was to fulfil: the redesign of the interior using artwork by local artists; a change from the traditional arrangement of fiction; and provision of workshop facilities for children to exercise their artistic inclinations. Details how these tasks were accopmplished and discusses the results of the project, stressing the renewed appreciation of art and the importance of passing that on to children

Abstract: Collections of interactive games on diskette, CD-ROM and CD-i form an important element of public library collections in the Netherlands. However, the Dutch SISO shelf arragement lacks provision for such materials. At Oss public library an arrangement with numerous categories and subdivisions has been devised to accomodate games. Loan figures show that younger borrowers prefer strategy and adventure games, while older borrowers choose puzzle and utilities materials

Abstract: Investigates what effect the shelf classification of fiction had on the way that library users in the 2 branch libraries of Kajanni, Finland, use the library's stock of fiction and how they loan fiction. In 1 library the fiction stock was divided in 11 shelf categories, based on genres of fiction - in the other no changes were made. The books were also indexed and classified in the library's database. The project lasted for 3 years and the results were gathered by interviewing clients and making statistical analysis on loans in both libraries

Abstract: In the last 10 years a number of libraries in the Netherlands have developed akternative shelf arrangements to the standard SISO system. A survey undertaken at Felde children's library following the implementation of an alternative arrangement showed that children had been unaware of the change. In 1989 the Nederlands Bibliothekk en Lektuur Centrum (Dutch Centre for Libraries and Reading) began developing a system based on trials at 15 libraries. Further implementations of the system should take account of developments with automated catalogues

Abstract: Identifies the architectural barriers in library buildings facing disabled users with particular reference to wayfinding and the provision of suitable signage, amps and ways of making spatial patterns within libraries more self evident. Concludes with notes on emergency egress and recommendations for making library buildings highly usable and easily navigable for library users in general and disabled people in particular

Abstract

There seems to be general agreement in the library community that a predictably ordered system of classification, leading to easy browsability of a library collection either in the stacks or in an OPAC, is an indispensible requirement for the kind of access patrons have come to expect, and for the reasonable success of the searching strategies they normally use. In this vein, examines the intrinsic value of browsing. In addition, with the help of some rough data compiled during a test conducted at Cornell University in the spring of 1994, estimates the cost of maintaining the collocative and alphabetical integrity of shelflist files for works by or about individual literary authors

Abstract: The failure of children (or adults) to find items on the shelf, after locating the item in the catalogue, may be due to spatial confusion. Describes a field study designed to test the possibility that spatial skills are related to subjects' speed and directness in retrieving books from the stacks of an unfamiliar library

Abstract: The debate over how periodical collections are best organised has simmered since the 1940s. Describes Univ. of North Texas Libraries' review of its alphabetically arranged periodical collections and a proposal to classify them. A literature search revealed little information concerning implications or cost of a classification project and few alternate solutions. The topic was developed into a 1990 NASIG workshop, with a participant survey concerning serials organisation. Briefly looks at current developments for improving access to periodical literature

Abstract

Patrons often browse through books organized by a library classification system, looking for books to use and possibly circulate. This research is an examination of the clustering of similar books provided by a classification system and ways in which the books that patrons circulate are clustered. Measures of classification system performance are suggested and used to evaluate two test collections. Regression formulas are derived describing the relationships among the number of areas in which books were found (the number of stops a patron makes when browsing), the distances across a cluster, and the average number of books a patron circulates. Patrons were found usually to make more stops than there were books found at their average stop. Consequences for full-text document systems and online catalogs are suggested

Abstract

Describes plans to automate the LoC shelf list which consists of around 13.335.000 3x5 inch cards. The card shelf list records the holdings and location information for all monographs and some serial receiving LC classification and is used to determine the correct filing position and unique full card number for new materials so that they are properly shelved within the existing collection. A Shelflist Task Group, set up in Oct. 94, has recommended a retrospective conversion of the existing card shelf list to an online system which would support a call number assignment and maintenance and online inventory control. The benefits of an online shelf list are outlined and the outlook appears positive for a commitment on the part of the library to automate both the process of shelflisting and the shelf list as an inventory control

Abstract

Library patrons have innate expectations about how documents should be arranged. Useful classification schemes are those which conform to these expectations and are thereby psychologically comfortable. All schemes necessarily deviate from these expectations, but not to the same degree. The greater the divergence from this mental standard with a scheme, the greater the psychological discomfort the patron will experience and the less useful the patron will find it. Using as an example the discipline of anthropology, this article develops a measure of the deviation of library classifications from collocation in mental space

Abstract: Many library buildings are nearing their space capacities. In order to make the most efficient use of existing stack space, librarians must carefully measure the rates of collection expansion and the amount of available shelf space.

Abstract

A review of the current use of reader-interest classification since 1980 as an alternative arrangement of bookstock to traditional classification. Reader-interest classification is known by a variety of names and used in many countries. With a current trend to make libraries more accessible and user-friendly, librarians are experimenting with reader-interest classification. The paper discusses the reasons for using it, principles, catalog aspects, what it brings together and separates, implementation, arrangement and presentation of the bookstock, the kind and size of library where it is in use and the outlook for its continued use. Recent studies and surveys are also considered.
