    Abstract
    The growing interest in end user or direct patron access to on-line bibliographic databases is reviewed with references to online catalogues, databases, and CD-ROMs. The literature of end user searching is surveyed with notes on: user training, software search aids, end user services in libraries: characterisation of end user searches; the role of librarians; and CD-ROMs as end user media

    Abstract
    This paper reports on the successful introduction of a sophisticated online catalogue system at the library of the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, using the Muscat program package. The system provides to both end-users and library staff a choice between boolean searching on keywords and access using relevance feedback based on free text in English, mixed with UDC classification numbers. The system is implemented on an IBM 3084 computer. Significant benefits from the application of relevance feedback are reported with 10,000 records on file.

    Abstract
    This short guide describes the process for creating a CD-ROM based üublic access catalog. The authors admit that the material will be outdated by the time of publication, because product specifics change so rapidly. The report is useful, but not completely thorough. Disadvantages to using CD-ROM for public access catalog are listed, but existing methods to overcome these hindrances are not mentioned. The paper also touches on the possibility that CD-ROM-based catalogs may be more than simply an extra service, that they may become full-service catalogs in themselves

    Abstract
    In January of 1981, the Center for the Study of Youth Development initiated an online catalog of the holdings of its specialized library consisting of 10,000 monographs, journals, vertical file materials, etc. The present article discusses the reactions of the end-user or patron population to the resource. The background of the library automation project-including issues of cost-effectiveness, increased power, and user utility-is discussed in order to establish the initial goals of this activity. Attention is given to how the project was implemented; this includes a comparison of preliminary goals with what ultimately was delivered. The transition from a COM catalog to the online catalog required training of patrons (some of whom had little or no experience with a computer terminal), and only half of the Center staff participated in the initial training sessions. Preliminary patron behavior is reviewed, and an attempt to informally analyze both positive and negative experiences is offered. The initial experiences are summarized in a discussion of the user interface of the query portion of the online catalog software.

    Abstract
    The study assessed the ability of children to categorise concepts that will be used to organise an information retrieval interface. The work was done of Project SEED (Science for Early Educational Development), a project to develop hands-on science programmes for elementary schools. Aims to tailor an interface to the particular skills of children in organising science knowledge. The results are promising for the design of IR interfaces based on children's abilities to manipulate information.

    Abstract
    Menu selection systems reduce training and memorization, simplify entry of choices, and structure the user's task. However, the use of menu selection is no guarantee that novices or experts will be satisfied or able to carry out their work. This article focuses on the multiple design issues in creating successful menu selection systems. These include the primary issue of semantic organization and the host of secondary issues such as response time and display rates, shortcuts for frequent users, titles, phrasing of menu items, graphic layout, and selection mechanisms. Novel approaches such as popup menus and embedded menus are covered. Experimental results and design guidelines are presented

    Abstract
    Contribution to a thematic issue devoted to subject control in on-line catalogues. In contrast with data base searching, the use of an OPAC is direct, without intermediaries and without prior training. This tool allows decentralised information access, 1st in the library and now directly from users' homes. In France MINITEL has made distributed access possible. Outlines the French authority list, RAMEAU (Répertoire d'Autorité Matière Encyclopédique et Alphabétique Unifié) giving details or its users and describes searching the system and the search software, ALEXIS. ALEXIS can serve as an example of the direction to take since it was developed within the perspective of natural language queries.

    Abstract
    In Febr. 1989, Vanderbilt University Library introduced a locally mounte MEDLINE file into its NOTIS-based online catalog. Planning and programming efforts are under way to add several H.W. Wilson databases by summer 1989. Considerations related to decisions about databases and search engine selection are described; key factors in the implementation process are presented

    Abstract
    Arizona State University installed the Tandem-based CARL integrated library system in 1987. This software supports all the traditional functions of an integrated system plus the ability to act as a platform for creating or loading multiple databases. The functionality of CARL software for this purpose is described, a brief rundown of databases loaded at ASU is provided, and the criteria for selecting databases is given. Public response and library instruction issues for locally loaded databases are briefly examined as is the future of the electronic library

    Abstract
    A research project in progress at Middlesex Polytechnic is examining the problems of providing adequate subject access from MARC-based cataloguing systems. Various forms of printed index are being evaluated and an experimental OPAC is being designed. The PRECIS RIN file will be tested as a basis for online thesaural control and as a browsing facility

    Abstract
    Reports a 1-day seminar which was organized by the Library Association Technology Group, Birmingham, 21 Mar 89. The following topics were presented: intelligent interfaces to online-data bases; knowledge-based abstracting; an expert selector of OPACs for subject access; neural nets and information science and value adders; and library and information science professionals and knowledge engineering.

    Abstract
    2nd of two articles based on the results of a survey of on-line public access catalogues (OPACs) in public libraries carried out by Manchester Library School. 20 UK libraries provided data for the survey. Discusses types of OPAC configurations in use, suppliers of systems, help facilities, display of data, and subject searching on OPACs. Concludes that, in general, OPACs make accessing a catalogue easy and that this encourages catalogue use, resulting in increased document demand levels and in more satisfied customers.

    Abstract
    Describes a hypertext-based system that integrates the bibliographic information of the library catalogue with user-defined knowledge structures, imports information at the user's command, and offers a dynamic personal information tool for active users. Describes the structure and the content of the data base, and shows how the system can be accommodated to different user groups or individual users.

    Abstract
    Contribution to a thematic issue devoted to subject control in on-line catalogues. Keyword searching with Boolean operators was impossible in the traditional on-line catalogue and its promised benefits in on-line systems are not yet clear. Reports on a survey undertaken at Brigham Young University library, Utah, which investigated this issue when the library was selected as a test site for keyword searching in the NOTIS on-line catalogue. Results of the survey were mixed. While keyword searching will require increased computer capacity for unstricted use, students, though content with the new tool, are not adept at using its sophisticated features and will require much more training than for the basic NOTIS on-line catalogue.

    Abstract
    Historically, library automation has focused attention on the automation of internal library processes, such as cataloging; however, a new generation of library automation systems intended for direct use by library patrons is emerging. These public-access computer systems are categorized and described. The types of public-access computer systems are: (1) catalog information systems, (2) electronic information systems, (3) information presentation systems, (4) instructional systems, (5) consultation systems, (6) information service and delivery systems, (7) conferencing systems, (8) integrative systems, and (9) end-user computing facilities. To be effective, these computer-based systems must be integrated with the traditional collections and services of libraries
