Abstract

A discussion of the importance of clear cataloguing policies and routines as the basis of quality control, in relation to the methods used in the College of Mexico Library. The fundamental principle is to prevent errors occuring rather than to correct them subsequently. Indices of quality and effiency in relation to errors which do and do not affect retrieval, established through monthly review of samples of the work of each cataloguer, are used to monitor activities and ensure high standards. This process, essentially collaborative, promotes an overall culture of quality

Abstract

Individuals need access to both formal and informal information to be able to exercise their rights as citizens: this principle is written into the Brazilian constitution. The mission of all types of library is to disseminate information but this role is little known by potential users or understood by librarians. The profession needs to prioritise educating the user to search for new ideas, rather than focusing on building collections and installing new technology with the sole purpose of achieving technical perfection

Abstract

The use of the Internet offers new perspectives for public libraries, but accurate planning must be implemented to optimize these services. A connection must be established, and decisions made about what services to offer, and to whom. Other important aspects a re the training of staff and patrons, and resources editing. The main problems are seen as the differences between libraries, and the lack of a common policy. As the future scenario is difficult to foresee, the decisions to be adopted are complex

Abstract

This article examines some of the ways in which the Biblioteca Daniel Cosio Villegas of El Colegio de Mexico is responding to meet goals stated in the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico's 1997-2000 Development Plan. The Plan aims to prepare students for life-long learning by teaching them reasoning and questioning skills as well a competencies in selecting, organizing and processing information from diverse systems and sources. It notes the need to discover the skill library professionals must have in order to assist patrons effectively to become self-sufficient users of information. The environment examined is one where most college and university students are products of a very traditional primary and secondary educational system that emphasizes learning through the use of class lectures and assigned textbooks rather than research and self-discovery. The author points out the need for library professionals in Mexico's institutions of higher education to teach students how to learn to access and process information themselves in order to transform this information into knowledge they can use. Some of the administrative changes made at the Biblioteca Daniel Cosio Villegas to accomplish this are described. These include: more participation by library professionals in planning; favoring matrical organization between departments and projects and making decisions in a more collegial fashion; subject specialization by library professionals who select, catalog, classify and give service in a specific area; and incorporation of the user into the evaluation of existing processes and services and the creation of new ones which favor a more efficacious development of their information skills. The author concludes by proposing three basic principles to guide the re-engineering process that must be undertaken by academic libraries if they are to survive and seek to shape the future of information technology rather than just responding to the challenges it presents. These principles are: the value which accrues to information by transforming it into knowledge can be analyzed systematically; the value which accrues to technology is incremented by the degree to which it is accepted by library professionals and users; and this acceptance is a function of other variables which can be understood and controlled, especially the frequency of use resulting in the development of information skills. The improvement of information skills of library professionals and users therefore constitutes the principles objective of technological integration

Abstract

There is no general consensus about what constitutes 'quality' of information, and the tendency is to replace it with 'value'. It is generally considered as a multidimensional category incorporating transcendental, intrinsic and contingent aspects. Emphasising one of these to the exclusion of the others reduces quality to a subjective basis, and removes the possibility of consistent professional practice: the information provider is left to act as a filter between the 'truth' of information and the 'desire' of the user

Abstract

An approach to establishing a relationship between knowing, informing and representing, using aspects of linguistic theory to clarify semantic theory as the basis for an overall theory of meaning. Linguistic knowledge is based on a conceptual matrix which defines convergence / divergence of the categories used to specify an object's parameters; work on the analysis of discourse emphasisis the social dimension of meaning, which is the basis of the theory of acts and speech. The evaluation criteria used to determine questions about the possibility of knowledge are necessarily decisive, this opens up promising perspectives if formulating a relationship between conceptual and pragmatic approaches

Report of a concluding session at the 14th colloquy on library science at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, to discuss issues raised by the formal sessions on theoretical and philosophical problems. Three main themes emerged: (1) library science does have specific status although its specific limits, concepts and terminology are not agreed; (2) the ethical aspects, especially the question of the moral responsibilities of the leaders of the library science community, give rise to concern especially in relation to teaching curricula; and (3) the relation between information technology and society, which should ensure priority goes to the social aspects of library science in aiding human development

Abstract

Bradford's law is widely used in collection development to identify the most productive periodicals, but does nott take into account the variables of frequency of publication and number of years of publication during a particular time span. Hence not all periodicals necessarily have the same opportunity to publish relevant articles. To test this hypothesis, the productivity of American sociology periodicals during 1987-91 was analysed and shown to correlate with frequency of publication and number of years of publication, giving a more accurate representation than using Bradford's law as originally formulated

Abstract

INFOBILA, a regional database of Latin American library and information science literature supported by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the Organisation of American States and IFLA, is constructing a thesaurus to harmonise terminology used in Spanish-speaking countries, each of which has its own variations. A group comprising experts from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Chile was initiated in 1995 to develop standardised terms, using thesauri from these countries. By the next meeting in 1996, group members will have individually tested the provisional integrated list and these results will have to be used to finalise a definitive thesaurus

Abstract

Telecommunications networks and standard protocols for information retrieval aid physical access to geographically scattered libraries. However, users face problems when searching for foreign language documents if they do not have a certain command of the relevant language(s). Multilingual facilities, in particular multilingual presentation and retrieval, can intellectually open the library catalogue to a wider range of international users. Describes an attempt at using multilingual resources with a view to improving the user OPAC interaction throught he TRANSLIB project and its integration at 'Biblioteca Hispanica de la Agencia Espanola de Cooperation Internacional'

Abstract

A review of the literature. Authority control is intended to improve precision and recall but high failure rates detected during online catalogue searches by end users has given rise to debate about whether the time and effort involved in this approach is justified. Suggested solutions include using a combination of indexing techniques, increasing access points, greater standardisation of formats and more powerful software. Cooperative programmes at national and international levels can reduce costs. In Latin America some libraries use US / European formats, while others have developed their own local or regional systems; the whole situation needs to be reviewed to resolve the anomalies

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

Reviews literature on the main expert systems used in descriptive cataloguing. Discusses the features and problems of the three types of systems which have developed: advisory systems, systems to create bibliographic records and systems to carry out original cataloguing. The quantity and complexity of the rules of a cataloguing code make it difficult for them to be incorporated into the knowledge base of an expert system

Abstract

Proposes a new definition of the word 'information' in order to reconcile conceptual differences and provide elements for the creation of a new paradigm. Cites some papers devoted to the concept 'information' specifically those that identify and characterize the different ways of thinking, as background to substantiate the proposed definition
