Abstract: Considers the recent trend towards the promotion, by public libraries, of literary fiction with particular reference to a new fiction initiative by the British Library which seeks to redress the imbalance between the level of access provided for fiction and non fiction in library catalogues. From January 1997, the BNB catalogue records for works of fiction will be indexed using the LCSH in conjunction with a range of genre and form headings derived from the American Library Association' Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works on Fiction, Drama etc. (GSAFD). Access provided by the GSAFD approach encompass access by genre and access by subject

Abstract: A study group representing four European national libraries (the Swiss National Library, Die Deutsche Bibliothek, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and The British Library) recently conducted a study on the possibility of establishing multilingual thesaural links between the headings in the LCSH authority file and the authority files of the German indexing system SWD/RSWK and the French indexing system RAMEAU. The study demonstrated a high level of correspondence in main headings, but also revealed a number of issues requiring further investigation. The study group's findings led to recommendations on the scope for the development of a prototype system for linking the three Subject Heading Languages (SHLs) in the databases of the four institutions

Abstract

Following up themes in an article in a previous issue of this journal on the trend amongst public libraries in recent years to run literature promotions to foster greater exploitation of their collections of fiction, focuses on the contribution of the catalogue to the activity of promotion. Suggests there is plenty of evidence to suggest that traditional access provided by the catalogue is failing to meet a need for subject based access to fiction. A new fiction indexing initiative by the British Library seeks to redress the balance between the level of access provided for fiction and non fiction in library catalogues. From Jan 1997 BNB catalogue records for fiction have been indexed using the LCSH in conjunction with a range of genre headings derived from the American Library Association's 'Guidelines on Subject Access to Individual Works of Fiction, Drama etc. (GSAFD). The guidelines recommend indexing fiction to provide for 4 kinds of access: by form/genre; characters; setting; and topic. Discusses the principles and usefulness of this approach with the help of some difficult to categorise examples

Abstract

InterParty is a project that aims to develop a mechanism that will enable the interoperation of identifiers for "parties" or persons (authors, publishers, etc. - persons and corporate bodies in library authority files) across multiple domains. Partners represent the book industry, rights management, libraries, and identifier and technology communities, united by their perception of a common benefit from interoperation in terms of access to "common metadata" held by other members to improve the quality of their own data. The InterParty solution proposes a distributed network of members who provide access to "common metadata," defined as information in the public domain, sufficient to identify and distinguish the "public identity" of a person. At a minimum the InterParty network would provide access to multiple domains of data about persons, including multiple library authority files, author licensing data files, etc. It will also add value by providing a facility for linking records between different data files by means of a "link record." Link records will assert that an identity recorded in one database is the same as another identity recorded in another database. Linked data will be mutually enriching and therefore more reliable and supportive of accurate disambiguation of persons within and between databases. InterParty has potential to develop a common system that supports both the emerging needs of e-commerce and the traditional requirements of library authority control.

Abstract

The LCSH system is still an important part of the future for subject access to catalogues of bibliographic records. The British Library has decided to reinstate LCSH to records created for the BNB, because of the economic necessity of cooperation and because it provides an available common standard. Outlines development plans for the LCSH, and the British Library's involvement through its participation in the Subject Authorities Cooperative programme. It will also be involved in: training in the application of LCSH, and indexing of works of literature and fiction. The cooperative trend is now towards the creation of an international subject authority database

Abstract

This article describes the project to build the initial International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) database by deploying the techniques used to develop the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF). It focuses particularly on the work of the OCLC team in transforming the VIAF "resource file" model of matched data into a robust, operational, and authoritative file of uniquely assigned ISNIs as a base for an ongoing ISNI assignment system, and on the quality assurance validation of the database provided by the British Library and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The need for future interaction between ongoing ISNI assignment and name authority control in libraries is also explored.
