Abstract

One of the most common errors in cataloguing library materials involves miscoding of the nonfiling indicator of title fields. Notes the extent of the problem and its negative effect on searching in the library's online catalogue and surveys how librarians have approached solutions to the problems. Describes how the major library automation system address this problem

Abstract

3 months of transaction records from the INNOPAC online catalogue, at Adelphi University, New York, were examined. Patron searchers rely on the standard access points of subject, title, and author for nearly 90% of their searches. Library employees search by title nearly 50% of the time. Title searching predominated among technical services staff as well as public service staff. Approximately 30% of staff searches and 40% of patron searches retrieved no records. Patrons were 10 times more likely than staff to make a search resulting in 500 or more hits

Abstract

Reports an examination of the results of 114 sessions on the online catalogue, at the Ellis Library, Missouri University at Columbia, to determine what types of searches were conducted and what search modes and fields (title, author) were used. Examination of tranaction logs revealed that title and author searches predominated and that the opportunity to construct Boolean searches was rarely taken advantage of. The searchers themselves reported that they were, on the whole, experienced at using the system; most searched the catalogue at least once a week. This is reflected in the relatively low instance of error and in the fact that most searches produced at least some hits. The majority of errors that were made in the process of searching were typographical

Abstract

Traditionally, catalogue records have contained a complete description of the item to ensure retrieval by a wide variety of approaches. An alternative approach, user centered design, requires a study of user behaviour and cognition related to interaction with the catalogue to determine inform design decisions. To support known item searching, it is necessary to users' conceptions of the item being sought, what the users know about them, and which pieces of known information are viewed by the users as most appropriate for inclusion in a search. Reports results of a pilot study, at the Davis Library, North Caroline University at Chapel Hill, in which 103 catalogue users described 386 searches and any written information known by the searchers was photocopied. Searchers generally knew the title, publication date, and page numbers (particular for periodical articles). Results indicated that this approach to catalogue design was feasible and valid, and provided a preliminary picture of nkown item searching in 1 library's catalogue

Abstract

Contends that quality in a catalogue is crucially related to its capability to deliver the services it is intended to provide: enabling a user to find a book of which the author, title or subject is known; and to show what the library has be a given author or on a given subject or in a given kind of literature. Describes changes in recent years which have implications for the choice of a retrieval system for library users. Discusses 2 types of problems experiences by users wanting to harness the potential of OPACs. These include: problems with the system itself. Describes the role of the cataloguer today which is essentially to interface the users with the retrieval system

Abstract

Describes the function and problems of the traditional card catalogue compared with a computerised catalogue. Examines library cataloguing with the computer, linked to rules for subject cataloguing, as well as the oppor-tunities offered by computerised title entries, the transfer of data from outside, data base structure and indexing. Also looks at techniques for searching catalogues with computers, including search rules with Boolean operators, searches restricted to specific fields of free search in all fields for a vague concept. Other topics cover the essential principles of the OPAC, its information functions, mail box function and hardware configuration.

Abstract

Reports results of a questionnaire survey of lecturers and students, at Florida University at Gainesville, to determine the degree to which the information provided in catalogue records serve the needs of library users and the usefulness of including and displaying typical elements of catalogue records. Results indicate the highest level of agreement with usefulness of: title; primary author; date; subjects; other authors; and series. There were moderately high levels of agreement for: summary notes; contents notes; standard numbers; publisher; pagination; and related titles; and lower levels of agreement for reference notes; place of publication; index notes; illustrations; and size

Abstract

Reports results of a study to elicit information from the users of the Wisconsin University at Madison online catalogue (Network Library System (NLS)). The General Library System (GLS) conducted focus group interviews with undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty. Undergraduate students tend to utilize subject searching capabilities. Graduate students and faculty utilize subject searching only as a last resort; they typically search by known author or title. A significant number of the participants reported experience with library online catalogues other than NLS, although the majority of faculty reported very little experience with other online catalogues. All the focus group participants, but particularly the undergraduate students, evidenced confusion between keyword searching and searching controlled vocabulary. Inclusion of circulation status in the bibliographic records was identified as an important feature of the catalogue

Abstract

Amstelveen Public Library in the Netherlands introduced the online Kid's Catalog in 1997 to enable young users to access the library's catalogue. The system was developed in the United States and has been translated into Dutch for use in Amstelveen. The system enables users to access the catalogue through a menu of icons or by typing in author, title and subject headings. The system can recognise typing errors and offer corrected headings. The system is extremely popular both with children and adults

Abstract

The media centre at the City of Science and Industry, Paris, bases cataloguing practices on user habits, simulating searches which users have done to identify how access can be improved. In relation to the audiovisual viewer, which offers a selection of 3.500 films, this has led to including summaries and closer indexing, so that items can be retrieved by subject, not just by title as in the general catalogue. Economy of indexing can be justified as long as there is more information available from another resource. Analysis of failed searches has shown that wider subject indexing and integration of subject research and keywords would reduce noise. In the same way that physical layout and presentation of collections can help users, so should catalogue structure and organisation

Abstract

Online displays of bibliographic records in call number order can serve various functions. A literature search showed no papers or books discussing this topic directly. Various displays from online catalogues available via the Internet were examined, as were displays sent to the author by colleagues. A number of the displays were uninformative to the extent that the identification of works associated with call numbers was difficult or impossible without follow-up searching of the individual bibliographic records. Other displays provided information where further searching of the database would not be required for most purposes. Displays noted ranged from displays with call numbers alone, with no bibliographic information, to records including main entry, title, statement of responsibility, place, publisher, and date. Suggestions of useful data elements to be included in displays of bibliographic records in call number order are made for the following functions: shelflisting, cataloguing, catalogue maintenance, reference, public searches, acquisition and collection development, and inventory control. Recommendations are made that the following data elements should be present in call number displays: entire call number as a sequencing element; main entry; entire title proper, and the date. Concern is expressed that the call number filing arrangement be that followed in traditional shelflists, and a suggestion is made that possible consensus on the placement of the data elements within a display be considered in the future

Abstract

Paper presented at the 14th biennal conference of IATUL, Cambridge, Mass., USA, 8-12.7.1991: new technologies and information services - evolution or revolution? Ed. by Jay K. Lucker and published by the British Library on behalf of the IATUL. The ETH-Bibliothek is the main library of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the national centre for scientific and technical literature. Mostly there is no open access for the public. The ETHICS project was initiated to run library applications on the the library's own computer. The project is conceived as a multi-library integrated system whose separate units interrelate via a central database. The main function of the system is the online public access catalogue. Describes the specifications of ETHICS including interactive communication in German and French for storing and retrieving data. The subject index is maintained in French, German and English. Discusses retrieval by title words, subject retrieval and alphabetic retrieval. Outlines future developments

Abstract

Reports results of a study, conducted at the Ralph Brown Draughton Library, Auburn University, Alabama, to determine whether users employ the cross references provided by the series title authority file in their searches of the library's OPAC. Presents and discusses the results of a transaction log analysis focusing attention on the usefulness of cross references from series title authority records, since only searches that required such cross reference appeared in the transaction log report. Results indicate that users do use the cross references gathered by series title authority records

Abstract

This experiment searches an online library catalog employing author surnames, plus title words of books in citations of 8 scholarly works whose authors selected the title words used as being recallable. Searches comprising surname together with two recallable title words, or one if only one was available, yielded a single-screen miniature catalog (minicat) 99.0% of the time

Abstract

Reports results of a study to investigate judgements made by searchers of online catalogues by using transaction log analysis to associate online catalogue searchmethods with decisions so as to retrieve location information. The study used the Mainframe Interface to Libraries Online (MILO), an interface to the Illinois Library Computer Systems Office (ILCSO) online union catalogue for the 45 academic libraries belonging to ILCSO. MILO provides access to a bibliographic database and directly links to another database with circulation and location records. As the latter database only provides location and circulation status, searchers' decisions to make links to such data are seen as an indication that the records being linked represent potentially useful material. Via a transaction log analysis, the linked location records were associated wiht the access points used to retrieve them in order to analyze the value and problems of searchers' uses of specific access points. Transaction logs were analyzed for a 38-day sample of the 1994 logs. Counting of records retrieved through the use of multiple access points (making the total greater than 100%), subject fields were used to access over 30%, author fields to access over 19%, and title fields to access over 51% of all records linked to location information. Other fields were used to retrieve very small percentages of linked records

Abstract

Catalogue use studies in manual and online environments over the last 50 years have been succesful in identifying user behaviour and causes of user failure, but they have not led to substantial change in catalogue codes of practices. The online environment offers a myriad of new challenges
