    Abstract
    The British Library's Initiatives for Access programme (1993-) aims to identify the impact and value of digital and networking technologies on the Library's collections and services. Describes the projects: the Electronic Beowulf, digitisation of ageing microfilm, digital photographic images, and use of the Excalibur retrieval software. Examines the ways in which the issues of preparation, scanning, and storage have been tackled, and problems raised by use of recognition technologies and compression

    Abstract
    Discusses research into the application of adaptive pattern recognition technology to enable effective retrieval from scanned document images. Describes application at the British Library of Excalibur EFS software which uses adaptive pattern recognition technology to provide access to digital information in its native forms, fuzzy searching retrieval and automatic indexing capabilities. It was used to make specialist printed catalogues and indexes accessible on computer via content based indexes

    Abstract
    In 1993 the British Library established a programme of activities entitled Initiatives for Access (IFA) to identify and develop computer applications based on the new technologies emerging in the aereas of digital and network service. Discusses the problem of the effective retrieval of digital data after its capture focusing on the product Excalibur EFS which looks at the way information is sorted at its fundamental level and identifies patterns in numbers. Looks at the benefits of Excalibur and outlines other experiments in progress as part of the IFA programme
