- Abstract
- Describes the successful creation of a computerized ready reference file, at the reference desk at California State University at Long Beach, consisting of some of the most frequently asked reference questions. The original ready reference file was on 3 by 5 cards and the project to computerize the file was constrained by time necessitating the use of dBase 3 Plus database management software as the only such software immediately to hand. The system is easy to use and maintain, and uses dBase 3 Plus or dBase 4 software

- Abstract
- Reviews the current market for CD-ROM databases with particular reference to the online versus CD-ROM versus print debate. Concludes that the most likely scenario is a steady convergence of technologies, at least until the end of the century. Review the current and the most likely future developments in the area of CD-ROM database contents, software, hardware, and marketing. Concludes that users will choose databases on the basis of such factors as: ease of use; power of use; storage and delivery capacity; quality; functionaliy; timeliness; overall appeal; and real cost, not just price. Lists the most likely candidates for successful CD-ROM database development; not yet available. Concludes that Windows user faces will steadily replace DOS based systems, but not unless the Windows replacements are truly better and not just different. Recommends that both Windows and DOS interfaces be loaded onto the same CD-ROM with each database allowing the user to choose which to use. Reviews likely developments in CD-ROM hardware and marketing strategies

- Abstract
- Contribution to an issue devoted on the weeding and maintenance of reference collections. CD-ROM has become part of the library universe and increasing numbers of libraries are considering the acquisition of reference tools in the new format. Issues of evaluation and selection, hardware purchase, and budget are primary concerns in this decision. Many aspects of day-to-day maintenance and access to CD-ROM sources must also be considered in the evaluation process. These issue-space, security, the care and feeding of hardware and software, reference assistance, staffing and staff training, and user instruction are vital to the success of CD-ROM in the library. Focuses particularly on literature about training for staff and users.

- Abstract
- The proliferation of electronic information sources has added new dimensions to building library reference collections. As reference librarians select titles for their collections, they must also choose the most appropriate medium. For some information the choices include print, microforms, CD-ROM databases, online hosts, or locally mounted databases. Factors involved in the selection of the appropriate medium include database costs, licensing agreements, hardware/software requirements, retrieval modes, system capabilities and information transfer. Integrating the new services into existing structures so that library users can derive the maximum benefit from the availability of the databases is a primary concern

There was a response rate of 68 per cent, Compares results surveys carried out in 1991 and 1994. The survey covered: numbers of computers access options (intermediary, end user online, CD-ROM locally loaded databases or those accessible through the library catalogue and the Internet. There is a trend away from print resources, particularly indexing and abstracting materials, and away from CD-ROM LANs and local loading of databases towards remote online resources

- Abstract
- Reviews the exponential growth of Internet resources leading to the emergence of hundreds of Internet directories to organize those resources. Based upon their format, content, and characteristics, these Internet directories are categorized into 8 groups. From one of these groups. 'Subject directories published in professional journals' all published Internet directories are identified and listed in detail. Using Paradox-For-Windows, a comprehensive database of more than 350 of these directories was developed. Analyzes and interprets the data contained in the database and reviews the strengths and weaknesses of print Internet subject directories as compared to online directories and other search engines

- Abstract
- Telephone directories are one of the most used sources of information in a reference collection. As the library literature indicates, they are a stable reference tool with a strong history of use. Further, it has been observed that telephone directories are familiar to most users, and resources such as the community pages and yellow pages are used extensively. However, the emergence of CD-ROM technology and libraries being charged for printed directories has raised questions concerning the future of an all-print telephone directory collection in libraries. Yet, evaluation of acquisitions alternatives for these resources is largely missing in the library literature. In this article, Boettcher and Kingma review the literature regarding the use of telephone directories in academic and public libraries and provide a cost analysis of the four purchasing options regarding telephone directories: printed directories, directory assistance, Phonefiche, and CD-ROMs
