Abstract

Reply to an article by B. Schaap and W. Dussel in Bibliotheek en samenleving 19(1990) no.4, in which it is suggested that the SISO classification used in adult sections of Dutch public libraries, may be adapted for use in children's libraries. However, experience shows that SISO's highly-structured nater makes it difficult for both adults and children to understand. Moreover, because related aspects of the same subject are scattered throughout the scheme's main categories, the user must first understand how to use a library's cataloue. However, a more useful system is to arrange books in broad categories according to children's interests, e.g. football and horses. To enable sucha method to succeed public libraries and school resource centres must agree a common scheme

Abstract

Despite predictions of the paperless office all organizations are faced with growing mountains of printed documents. The amount of material to be processed has forced a move away from traditional archive methods to online automated systems. Moreover, in the commercial sector the importance of an efficient archive section is frequently underestimated. However, those responsible for archive services continue to seek to improve efficiency. Automated systems will, in future, play a wider role in administering such collections

Abstract

In the Netherlands the first 'Library-phone' service to answer questions from the general public by phone was started by Friesland Central Library Service in 1986. 7 provincial authorities currently provide library-phone services. A survey of the 7 services showed some variation in answers provided and in time taken to provide an answer. In some instances library-phone staff had failed to use up-to-date sources. However, in general all questions were answered satisfactorily

Abstract

Modern online information systems have been criticized as being too complicated for the average information seeker. To overcome this problem interfaces have been developed to assist users at all stages of the information transfer process from searching to analysis and evaluation of retrieval data. However, the effectiveness of an interface will depend on the skills of the user. Further development of interfaces will be aided by the use of Windows and mouse controlled systems

Abstract

The Hyperlib project, which is a joint, EC-funded project, between the libraries of Antwerp and Loughborough universities, aims to investigate the opportunities for a hypertext-structured catalogue at Antwerp University. Essential to the project was a survey of user requirements. Because of time constraints, however, it proved impossible to develop a full hypertext-structured database. As a result of the project a redesigned OPAC will be implemented in Spring 95, which will include individual journal article sand the opportunity to create personalised menu-structures

Abstract

Collections of interactive games on diskette, CD-ROM and CD-i form an important element of public library collections in the Netherlands. However, the Dutch SISO shelf arragement lacks provision for such materials. At Oss public library an arrangement with numerous categories and subdivisions has been devised to accomodate games. Loan figures show that younger borrowers prefer strategy and adventure games, while older borrowers choose puzzle and utilities materials

Abstract

The 1st book auctions for which printed catalogues were issued started in the Netherlands around 1600. However, few catalogues survive before the start of the 19th century. Such early catalogues frequently represent the collections of individuals or of institutions, including libraries. Details of authorship, provenance and state of individual works varies greatly from catalogue to catalogue. For auctioneers commerical considerations are more important than bibliographical correctness. Despite their importance for tracing provenance, auction catalogues are frequently inadequately catalogued in libraries

Abstract

At a conference in the Netherlands in Dec 1995 cataloguing, which has traditionally been regarded as the heart of librarianship, was criticised for being slow and costly. However, the Durch Gemeenschappelijk Geautometiseerd Catalogiseersystem (Shared Online Catalogue Network) enables libraries to contribute and receive good quality catalogue records at substantial savings in cost and time. PICA (Project for Integrated Catalogue Automation), which is responsible for the GGC, is currently examining ways to speed up the process. Other sources for records include library suppliers and external agencies

Abstract

For literature searchers who create extensive bibliographies, special software is available. Among the most popular of these packages is ProCite from Research Information Systems. The system uses workforms with predefined fields for author, title etc. Through its BilioLink conversion program ProCite enables data to be downloaded from other files. Advantages of the package are its ease of use and links to WWW applications. However, index browsing is clumsy and there is little control over input errors

Abstract

Programs for converting bibligraphic data are not only of interest to libraries but also to researchers compiling bibliographies. However, few programs are currently available. In choosing a suitable program care must be taken to ensure that it is capable of identifying and converting all fields likely to be encountered, to the required format. Optical scanning can provide a convenient solution for converting printed output to machine-readable format. Increasing acceptance of standardised formats will facilitate exchange of data

Abstract

In the Netherlands updated versions of the Vindex and Zoek search engines have been released. Vindex indexes sites originating in the Netherlands and us currently undergoing a 6-month trial period. In both search engines help for users is unclear whilst truncation practice in Zoek is unhelpful. However, Zoek offers a range of options including ranking of topics. Display of search results is excellent

Abstract

In 1997 a survey was held in the Netherlands by the Innovatie Wetenschappelijke Informatievoorziening (Innovation in Scientific Information Services) Steering Group to establish how much use students and research workers make of the Internet. 84% of respondents reported it useful for email communication, whilst 49% used it for consulting web documents. However, only 27% of respondents used it to consult electronic journals. A majority of respondents asked for greater assistance from library staff

Abstract

In 1997 the European Commission published its report, Public Libraries and the Information Society, which points out the impact the information society will have for the ordinary citizen. Aim of the study was to show how libraries must adapt their services to the challenges. However, a majority of Europe's 40.000 public libraries have yet to take their 1st steps towards automation. Closer cooperation amongst all types of libraries is urgently required together with adequate training. Progress must be regularly monitored

Abstract

The proliferation of electronic databases and reduced library collections require researchers to be familiar with an increasing range of bibliographical resources. To assist users in searching multiple databases the PICA network in the Netherlands has developed PiCarta as a single information source. The servie enables users to access bibliographical databases and electronic journals using Boolean logic, fuzzy operators, and subject weighting. The system is, however, dependent upon indexing methods used in original sources

Abstract

The universal classification schemes developed in the 19th century are a direct response to the social changes of that era. However, the increasing use of automation in libraries has highlighted the need fir greater precision in hierarchical structures. A thesaurus of used and related headings can be employed to show the spatial relationship of semantic terms. The resulting search profile can be further enhanced by the addition of citation weighting. To assist users to define searches more accurately libraries using large general classification schemes should consider adding supplementary classification data to records

Abstract

As the number of publications on the WWW grows exponentially there is an urgent need for a standardised system of bibliographic description. In the Netherlands the PICA national union catalogue has created WebCAT to catalogue online publications from universities and research institutes. However, use of WebCAT is restricted to participating institutions. The DutchESS (Dutch Electronic Subject Service) and SURF-ACE Search Enginges projects provide a partial solution to the problems on indexing online publications. The ultimate solution lies in the development of standardised metadata architecture

Hitherto, the ISBD for nonbook materials and computer files have provided standards for cataloguing electronic media. However, new technology, particular digitisation with its facility to create multimedia resources, has highlighted the need for new bibliographic standards. In the Netherlands the Royal Library, Pica and SURFnet, in 1993, implemented a project to create standards for networked information resources. The results will provide useful guidelines unitl the publication of an ISBD for electronic resources

Abstract

Rotterdam City Library in the Netherlands has for a number of years cooperated with the Erasmus University and Maritime Museum to provide a union catalogue of holdings. However, the 1st steps have been taken to create a consortium of 20 libraries offering a shared catalogue via the Internet. The system will create easier access to collections for users and allow a more efficient use of acquisition budgets. Some smaller libraries are currently reluctant to participate through fear of escalating costs of loss of identity

Abstract

To assist users with accessing the growing range of information sources Twente University Library in the Netherlands has developed OBIS (Online Bibliotheek Informatie Systeem / Online Library Information System). OBIS provides access to online databases and a range of library catalogues, including Twente's. However, a survey of staff in the Department of Applied Education and Information Science Studies showed that library services were underused. The survey showed that users relied heavily on printed information and contacts with colleagues. To overcome this a user education programme is currently being developed

Abstract

The Northern Light Internet search engine was inaugurated in Aug 1997. The service differs from existing services in that it classifies search results in a set of custom search folders and for a modest fee provides access to a range of bibliographical resources not normally available via the Web. Paymant may be made online via a simple transaction. The custom search folders enable users to refine searches more easily than with other search engines. However, the search commands to not permit truncated or wild card searches
