    Abstract
    Reports on a meeting held on 4 May 95 with the Library Association and members of the information industry which was organised to report on the work of the Centre for Information Quality Management, UK, on a database labelling methodology for assuring database quality to users. Describes database labelling, reports on a survey of database user satisfaction and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of database labelling

    Abstract
    Reports the work of the Centre for Information Quality Management, UK, (CIQM), in improving database quality. Discusses general database quality issues, the database labelling concept advocated by CIQM (a mini specification which contains parameters which measure the database as it now is), and progress in encouraging database producers to use labelling to accredit their databases

    Abstract
    Reports on a Centre for Information Quality Management (CIQM) BLRRD funded project which investigated the quality of databases in general use in the UK. Gives a literature review of quality in library and information services. Reports the results of a CIQM questionnaire survey on the quality problems of databases and their affect on users. Carries out databases evaluations of: INSPEC on ESA-IRS, INSPEC on KR Data-Star, INSPEC on UMI CD-ROM, BNB on CD-ROM, and Information Science Abstracts Plus CD-ROM. Sets out a methodology for evaluation of bibliographic databases

    Abstract
    Reports on one area of research in an Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib) MODELS (MOving to Distributed Environments for Library Services) supporting study in 3 investigative areas: examination of current database producers' guidelines for their abstract writers; a brief survey of abstracts in some traditional online databases; and a detailed survey of abstracts from 3 types of electronic database (print sourced online databases, Internet subject trees or directories, and Internet gateways). Examination of database producers' guidelines, reported here, gave a clear view of the intentions behind professionally produced traditional (printed index based) database abstracts and provided a benchmark against which to judge the conclusions of the larger investigations into abstract style, readability and content
