Abstract: Report of a survey 96 (out of 119) US and Canadian member libraries of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) to determine their use of on-line and CD-ROM data bases, including OPACs. 4 catalogues were identified: on-line mediated searching (97%); CD-ROMs (96%); end-user on-line searching (45%); and locally mounted magnetic tapes (37,5%). The latter option is expected to be the most widely used option in the new future. Although CD-ROM caused some migration from on-line, most migration was from printed sources to CD-ROM. Tables show: on-line hosts most used for intermediary on-line searching; on-line data bases most after searched by intermediaries; end user on-line systems offered by most libraries; the 20 most popular CD-ROM data bases; and the 8 magnetic tape data bases accessible on OPACs

Abstract: Reports a survey of all academic members of the Association of Research Libraries in the 4th quarter of 1997 which examined how academic libraries incorporate electronic information sources into their reference activities and the effects on libraries services. 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: Reports on a survey of ARL (Ass. of Research Libraries) members in the USA in 1994, which sought to find out the electronic reference services that are offered by these libraries and how the services affect reference staff, the expectations of users, and user instruction. The services covered include CD-ROM, intermediary online searching, end user online (e.g. FirstSearch), tape loaded databases and user access to the Internet, including electronic mail facilities. Highlights the additional workload the provision of these services involves, and the sometimes unrealistic expectations of users especially with regard to Internet resources

Abstract

Examines why online systems and CD-ROMs are producing a greater need for bibliographic instruction. Most online systems and CD-ROMs operate with the same software developed for the first online systems 20 years ago. Innovative search techniques such as natural language have spread from inhouse databases to the commercial online and CD-ROM environment. Personal Librarian and Westlaw Is Natural represent the online second generation. Discusses Personal Librarian; CD-ROM products; online expansion and DIALOG and Personal Library Software

Abstract

The study investigated the factors of response time, coverage, content and cost in CD-ROM and online versions of 2 popular databases: SilverPlatter Information Ins.'s and DIALOG's version of Psychological Abstracts (PsycINFO and PsycLIT) and Sociological Abstracts (Sociofile and Sociological Abstracts). Results confirm that, though the databases may be similar, significant differences do exist. Specifically, online searching gives a more consistent or predictable response time and yields greater currency, consistency and coverage

Abstract: Knowing the inner workings of an online or CD-ROM system may help to explain strange results, improve search strategies and aid trouble shooting. Discusses search strategies for Boolean and for statistical search engines; how DIALOG's Boolean system treats blank spaces; default settings for searches; how DIALOG defines words; stop words; automatioc truncation and automatic substitute features

Abstract

Academic and special research libraries in the US and Canada access on average 7,4 online systems. This probably doubles or triples when including CD-ROMs and locally loaded databases. Examines the many ways in which online versions of databases can vary on different systems. Discusses the differences of updating, dates covered, price, subfile structure, field subdivisions, content or inclusion, support features and system search features. Provides statistics on these differences

Abstract

Online offers the advantage over CD-ROM and locally loaded databases of being able to search several databases simultaneously. However, even when different databases have common fields, they may be named differently. This is improving, particularly throught he efforts of Mead Data Central and DIALOG. Discusses searching single databases; 2 ways in which online systems standardise fields; the lack of standardisation in the field tag SF=; Dialog's standardisation; generic field designs; standardisation of field content and NEXIS and uniform segmentation

Abstract: State of the art review of the development of full text databases, encompassing: types of commercially available full text databases; online systems for full text databases; CD-ROM databases for full text databases; full text databases on magnetic discs or tapes; creation of full text databases; searching and display requirements for full text searching and software. Concludes that bibliographic information services without full text support solve only half of the retrieval problems

Abstract: Discusses the rapid increase in the availability of the full text of journals, newspapers, documents and books, online and in CD-ROM, in the recent past, noting that full text now makes up 49% of word oriented databases. Explains the differences between image files, ASCII fullt text which is searchable, and ASCII full text which is displayable and downloadable but not searchable, and gives examples of these. Highlights the full text databases which are being introduced by the H.W. Wilson Company

Abstract

Observes that whether in academic, special, or public libraries or on commercial online systems, CD-ROM, the online catalogue, or the Internet, certain end user errors crop up repeatedly. Details the main errors, which include input errors, errors arising from confusion in the face of different interfaces and screen designs, Boolean logic errors, term errors, conceptual errors, and errors due to the fact that users do not read instructions. Concludes that systems must solve the trivial errors automatically, but user instruction librarians must help solve the more complex problems
