.I 1 .T 18 Editions of the Dewey Decimal Classifications .A Comaromi, J.P. .W The present study is a history of the DEWEY Decimal Classification. The first edition of the DDC was published in 1876, the eighteenth edition in 1971, and future editions will continue to appear as needed. In spite of the DDC's long and healthy life, however, its full story has never been told. There have been biographies of Dewey that briefly describe his system, but this is the first attempt to provide a detailed history of the work that more than any other has spurred the growth of librarianship in this country and abroad. .X 1 5 1 92 1 1 262 1 1 556 1 1 1004 1 1 1024 1 1 1024 1 1 .I 2 .T Use Made of Technical Libraries .A Slater, M. .W This report is an analysis of 6300 acts of use in 104 technical libraries in the United Kingdom. Library use is only one aspect of the wider pattern of information use. Information transfer in libraries is restricted to the use of documents. It takes no account of documents used outside the library, still less of information transferred orally from person to person. The library acts as a channel in only a proportion of the situations in which information is transferred. Taking technical information transfer as a whole, there is no doubt that this proportion is not the major one. There are users of technical information - particularly in technology rather than science - who visit libraries rarely if at all, relying on desk collections of handbooks, current periodicals and personal contact with their colleagues and with people in other organizations. Even regular library users also receive information in other ways. .X 2 5 2 32 1 2 76 1 2 132 1 2 137 1 2 139 1 2 152 2 2 155 1 2 158 1 2 183 1 2 195 1 2 203 1 2 204 1 2 210 1 2 243 1 2 371 1 2 475 1 2 552 1 2 760 1 2 770 1 2 771 1 2 774 1 2 775 1 2 776 1 2 788 1 2 789 1 2 801 1 2 815 1 2 839 1 2 977 1 2 1055 1 2 1056 1 2 1151 1 2 1361 1 2 1414 1 2 1451 1 2 1451 1 2 .I 3 .T Two Kinds of Power An Essay on Bibliographic Control .A Wilson, P. .W The relationships between the organization and control of writings and the organization and control of knowledge and information will inevitably enter our story, for writings contain, along with much else, a great deal of mankind's stock of knowledge and information. Bibliographical control is a form of power, and if knowledge itself is a form of power, as the familiar slogan claims, bibliographical control is in a certain sense power over power, power to obtain the knowledge recorded in written form. As writings are not simply, and not in any simple way, storehouses of knowledge, we cannot satisfactorily discuss bibliographical control as simply control over the knowledge and information contained in writings. .X 3 7 3 42 1 3 172 1 3 268 1 3 292 1 3 323 1 3 360 1 3 361 1 3 444 1 3 457 1 3 665 1 3 762 1 3 803 1 3 846 1 3 907 2 3 911 1 3 985 1 3 1219 1 3 1268 1 3 1309 1 3 1402 2 3 1426 1 3 1426 1 3 .I 4 .T Systems Analysis of a University Library; final report and research project .A Buckland, M.K. .W The establishment of nine new universities in the 1960's provoked a highly stimulating re-examination of the nature, purpose and management of academic libraries. Long-established attitudes and methods were questioned, but although changes were made, the basic difficulty remained - a lack of objective information about the best ways of providing a library service in a university. The report of the UGC Committee on Libraries (the Parry Repot [267]), which, in general, endorsed these changes, also stressed the need for research into all aspects of academic library provision. .X 4 10 4 5 2 4 9 1 4 32 1 4 65 1 4 96 1 4 137 1 4 162 1 4 163 1 4 207 2 4 245 1 4 293 1 4 298 1 4 364 1 4 418 1 4 456 1 4 580 1 4 622 1 4 696 1 4 705 1 4 728 1 4 729 1 4 766 1 4 768 2 4 770 1 4 774 2 4 776 1 4 783 1 4 786 1 4 791 1 4 799 1 4 811 2 4 816 2 4 823 1 4 842 1 4 843 1 4 844 1 4 913 1 4 915 1 4 925 3 4 959 1 4 960 1 4 961 3 4 962 2 4 964 2 4 968 1 4 981 1 4 1068 1 4 1069 1 4 1070 1 4 1203 1 4 1214 1 4 1321 1 4 1400 1 4 1407 1 4 1445 1 4 1445 1 4 .I 5 .T A Library Management Game: a report on a research project .A Brophy, P. .W Although the use of games in professional education has become widespread only during the last decade, the method has been used in a number of fields for many hundreds of years. Its origins have been traced to simple war games, used in military training when the "real thing" was either unavailable or too dangerous. In more recent times, these games have become more and more sophisticated, and many now use large electronic computers to handle the complex calculations involved. Since 1956, when the first well-developed management game was introduced, the technique has spread rapidly into a wide variety of disciplines and today it is used at all levels of education, from primary school classes to courses for experienced professional men and women. One of the main causes of this "game explosion" has been the rapid development of sophisticated management techniques, such as simulation and mathematical modelling, which have been made possible by rapid advances in computer technology. .X 4 2 5 5 6 5 90 1 5 91 1 5 115 1 5 158 1 5 207 1 5 222 1 5 223 1 5 234 1 5 245 2 5 364 2 5 365 1 5 368 1 5 435 1 5 535 1 5 553 1 5 598 1 5 615 1 5 764 1 5 766 1 5 811 2 5 815 1 5 816 2 5 818 1 5 823 1 5 842 1 5 915 1 5 925 2 5 944 1 5 948 1 5 957 1 5 959 1 5 960 1 5 961 2 5 962 1 5 964 1 5 1023 2 5 1219 1 5 1227 1 5 1257 1 5 1365 1 5 1390 1 5 1400 1 5 1400 1 5 .I 6 .T Abstracting Concepts and Methods .A Borko, H. .W Graduate library school study of abstracting should be more than a how-to-do-it course. It should include general material on the characteristcs and types of abstracts, the historical development of abstracting publications, the abstract-publishing industry (especially in the United States), and the need for standards in the preparation and evaluation of the product. These topics we call concepts. The text includes a methods section containing instructions for writing various types of abstracts, and for editing and preparing abstracting publications. These detailed instructions are supplemented by examples and exercises in the appendix. There is a brief discussion of indexing of abstract publications. Research on automation has been treated extensively in this work, for we believe that the topic deserves greater emphasis than it has received in the past. Computer use is becoming increasingly important in all aspects of librarianship. Much research effort has been expended on the preparation and evaluation of computer-prepared abstracts and extracts. Students, librarians, and abstractors will benefit from knowing about this research and understanding how computer programs were researched to analyze text, select key sentences, and prepare extracts and abstracts. The benefits of this research are discussed. Abstracting is a key segment of the information industry. Opportunities are available for both full-time professionals and part-time or volunteer workers. Many librarians find such activities pleasant and rewarding, for they know they are contributing to the more effective use of stored information. One chapter is devoted to career opportunities for abstractors. .X 6 6 6 363 1 6 403 1 6 461 1 6 551 1 6 551 1 6 .I 7 .T Academic Library Buildings A Guide to Architectural Issues and Solutions .A Ellsworth, R.E. .W This book attempts to present representative examples of successful architectural solutions to the important problems librarians and architects face in planning new college and university library buildings or in remodeling and enlarging existing structures. It does not attempt to make case study evaluations, as was done by Ellsworth Mason for Brown and Yale. Nor does it present examples of unsuccessful solutions except to show how to avoid mistakes, and in these cases the libraries will not be identified. .X 7 8 7 240 1 7 262 1 7 353 1 7 892 1 7 1028 1 7 1211 3 7 1212 1 7 1266 1 7 1424 1 7 1424 1 7 .I 8 .T The Academic Library Essays in Honor of Guy R. Lyle .A Farber, E.I. .W As important for staff members' individual development as was the apprenticeship in administration, perhaps the most significant attitude one acquired while working for Guy was engendered by his insistence that librarians must be interested in and knowledgeable about the content of the materials with which they dealt. His love of literature, his respect for scholarship, his admiration for good writing and reading were manifested in many ways, but most notably in his admonition that, though we were primarily a research library, we must constantly keep in mind our obligation to collect contemporary poetry, fiction and belles-letters. It was primarily up to the library staff, he felt, to be responsible for these as well as for "general" books which crossed disciplinary lines or fell between the disciplines, those books which a faculty mostly concerned with research materials is apt to overlook. And in building this portion of the collection, "there is no substitute for a thorough acquaintance with books through a reading of critical reviews and the books themselves." This counsel is from The President, the Professor, and the College Library, but the importance of its thrust--the need to keep up with the world of books and publishing--was continually impressed upon us. .X 8 5 8 20 1 8 171 1 8 909 1 8 918 1 8 1061 1 8 1453 1 8 1453 1 8 .I 9 .T Access to Libraries in College .A Hyman, R.T. .W This study assumed that an additional use study held less promise than an analytical consideration of concepts. The basic approach was a survey comparing traditional and current professional ideas on direct access. Principal data-gathering instruments were documentary analysis and opinion questionnaire. Findings of the documentary analysis included the following: Research from 1890 to 1970 on the direct shelf approach and browsing left the problems largely unresolved and evidently resistant to established methods of use and user research. The need for an exhaustive study of concepts was confirmed. Open shelf libraries--organized through shelf classification and relative location--were meant to arouse the intellectual, social, and political interest of the average citizen and affect his democratic self-realization. Definitions of "browsing" varied greatly: self-indulgence by the untutored in objectionable works; beneficial self-education for the general reader; valuable guidance for the scholar in his research. .X 4 1 9 9 5 9 32 1 9 96 1 9 137 1 9 163 1 9 207 2 9 222 1 9 223 1 9 296 1 9 297 1 9 298 1 9 300 1 9 301 1 9 302 1 9 358 1 9 364 1 9 456 1 9 515 1 9 535 1 9 625 1 9 629 1 9 631 1 9 634 1 9 768 1 9 774 1 9 783 1 9 791 1 9 799 1 9 811 2 9 816 2 9 818 1 9 823 1 9 843 1 9 844 1 9 846 1 9 913 1 9 915 1 9 961 2 9 962 2 9 964 2 9 968 1 9 994 1 9 1015 1 9 1068 1 9 1203 1 9 1242 1 9 1247 1 9 1268 1 9 1321 1 9 1354 1 9 1407 1 9 1445 1 9 1445 1 9 .I 10 .T Access to Periodical Resources .A Palmour, V.E. .W The purpose of this study was to develop, evaluate, and recommend a national plan for improving access to periodical resources. About 48 percent of all academic interlibrary loans are for periodical materials, with the bulk of the loans being satisfied in the form of photocopies. A major consideration in the long-range improvement of the interlibrary loan system is the possible augmentation with a national system for acquiring, storing, and satisfying loan requests for periodical materials. This study focused on the physical access to the periodical literature. Based on the needs of the library community, design features were developed, and included the following: Service should be made available to all users without any restriction other than access through a library. Initially, the service should be confined primarily to rapid, dependable delivery of photocopies of journal articles. The collection of a center should be comprehensive in subject coverage excluding only medicine. All worthwhile journals should be collected irrespective of language. .X 10 12 10 145 1 10 167 1 10 190 1 10 225 1 10 232 1 10 244 1 10 304 1 10 305 1 10 306 1 10 358 1 10 385 1 10 394 1 10 400 1 10 433 1 10 459 1 10 534 1 10 541 1 10 551 2 10 702 1 10 731 1 10 732 1 10 788 1 10 817 1 10 820 1 10 823 1 10 825 1 10 826 1 10 827 1 10 828 1 10 831 1 10 881 1 10 886 1 10 887 1 10 919 1 10 920 1 10 921 1 10 942 1 10 947 2 10 948 1 10 1017 1 10 1058 2 10 1059 1 10 1060 1 10 1146 1 10 1227 1 10 1230 1 10 1257 1 10 1258 2 10 1302 1 10 1305 1 10 1306 1 10 1390 6 10 1390 6 10 .I 11 .T The Acquisition of Library Materials .A Ford, S. .W The scope of acquisitions work, outlined in the Introduction, acknowledges the importance of selection policy, serials recording, and other topics kindred to acquisitions. These topics are discussed in this book only as they relate to obtaining library materials. They are examined thoroughly in books and papers that are cited in the references and the bibliographic note. Centralized acquisitions and automation of order routines are of major importance in order work and they are reviewed as chapters in this book. These chapters are introductions to the concepts and problems of centralization and automation, not manuals of practice. For treatment of these topics in particular and in depth the reader is referred to the references cited. For automation these references are only a modest selection from an enormous literature. .X 11 5 11 143 1 11 242 1 11 268 1 11 305 1 11 1020 1 11 1021 1 11 1058 1 11 1322 2 11 1322 2 11 .I 12 .T Acquisition from the 3rd World .A Clarke, D.A. .W The Ligue des bibliotheques europeennes de recherche (LIBER) was set up in 1971 as an international non-governmental organization, with the aim of establishing close collaboration between the general research libraries of Western Europe, particularly national and university libraries, and in particular to help in finding practical ways of improving the quality of the services these libraries provide. At the second meeting of its General Assembly, held in Luxembourg in 1972, LIBER decided to hold a seminar on the acquisition of materials from the 'Third World'; and I was charged with the 'intellectual organization' of this seminar. The purpose of the meeting would be to examine the problems of acquisition; the availability of materials in European libraries both for reference and for lending; and the feasibility of setting up a European centre for the collection of such material, to be available for loan. The provision of bibliographic information, preferable in machine-readable form, was to be a basic consideration, whatever means were proposed for acquiring publications from those areas. The Council of Europe made a generous grant towards the cost of the seminar which was held at the University of Sussex from 17 to 19 September 1973. .X 12 8 12 12 8 12 .I 13 .T AD695049 .A Wooster, H. .W I am not, nor have I ever pretended to be, an expert on microfiche.

The college library exists, not merely to house and circulate library materials, but to supplement and extend the teaching process with reference service, to afford faculty members library opportunities for improving instruction, and to encourage students to read more and better books. Administration is essentially a service activity, a tool through which library functions are more fully and efficiently realized. The present work retains most of the material of the first edition, but includes substantial revision in each chapter. The book was planned not only as a text in the teaching of college library administration but also for independent professional reading. Because readers have found the footnotes and chapter bibliographies useful for reference purposes, they have been brought up to date and in some cases extended. .X 14 6 14 132 1 14 137 1 14 153 1 14 170 1 14 223 1 14 237 1 14 266 1 14 271 1 14 272 1 14 302 1 14 550 1 14 767 1 14 772 1 14 952 1 14 1019 1 14 1028 1 14 1030 1 14 1086 1 14 1090 1 14 1275 1 14 1280 1 14 1424 3 14 1424 3 14 .I 15 .T Information Flow in Research and Development Laboratories .A Allen, Thomas J. Cohen, Stephen I. .W Technical communication patterns in two research and development laboratories were examined using modified sociometric techniques.. The structure of technical communication networks in the two laboratories results from the interaction of both social relations and work structure.. The sociometric "stars" in the technical communication network who provide other members of the organization with information either make greater use of individuals outside the organization or read the literature more than other members of the laboratory.. .X 15 10 15 32 1 15 102 1 15 103 1 15 105 2 15 139 1 15 152 1 15 313 2 15 356 1 15 447 1 15 449 1 15 475 1 15 560 1 15 574 1 15 592 1 15 625 1 15 658 1 15 803 1 15 1036 1 15 1048 1 15 1186 2 15 1187 1 15 1188 1 15 1235 1 15 1291 1 15 1319 1 15 1321 1 15 1329 1 15 1333 1 15 1386 1 15 1387 1 15 1408 2 15 1408 2 15 .I 16 .T Adopting the Library of Congress Classification System .A Matthis, R.E. .W This manual is designed to make it possible for any library to change efficiently to the Library of Congress Classification system. Detailed procedures are outlined which may serve as exact models or as a series of suggested steps which have proven effective in actual use. Most of the text deals with the necessary criteria for effecting the planning, making the preparations, selecting the tools, and establishing the procedures which are essential for a reclassification project. Beyond this, considerable attention has been given to many of the problem areas of the LC Classification-series, biography, bibliography, law, PZ3 and PZ4. In addition, the literature Tables VIIIa and IXa, two of the most frequently used tables throughout the entire class system, have been thoroughly explained and their application illustrated by a series of comprehensive examples. Since the mechanics, production, and cost of catalogue card copy can significantly affect the flow of books to users, a chapter has been devoted to describing the use of Xerox copying machines in library operations. Finally, an annotated bibliography of books and articles judged to be helpful in deciding to reclassify is included for those readers who wish to delve more deeply into the tortuous and frustrating 50-year history of the concept of centralized cataloging and classification. The numbers enclosed in parentheses throughout the text refer to sources in the bibliography which relate to or support the arguments being advanced in any particular case. .X 16 6 16 154 1 16 235 1 16 250 1 16 289 1 16 404 1 16 796 1 16 802 1 16 838 1 16 861 1 16 863 2 16 864 1 16 897 1 16 989 1 16 1152 1 16 1392 1 16 1431 1 16 1431 1 16 .I 17 .T Adventures in Librarianship .A Voigt, M.J. .B 1970 .W There has long been a need for a continuing series to provide scholarly reviews of the rapidly changing and advancing field of librarianship, a series which would select subjects with particular current significance to the profession and provide an analysis of the advances made through research and practice. Advances in Librarianship is planned and designed to fill this need. It will present critical articles and surveys based on the published literature, research in progress, and developments in libraries of all types. Mechanization may appear to be the most obvious of the advancing fronts of librarianship, for automation has caught the enthusiastic support of all librarians who can visualize its potential. Advances in this field will certainly be found in every volume of this series. As the first group of articles in this volume demonstrate, technological change has an obvious and direct implication for libraries, but the problem has been found to be much more complex than the simple inventory problem many experts expected. Advances in Librarianship is dedicated to presenting the realities of automation, assessing where we are, where we are going, and how fast we can hope to get there. "The Machine and Cataloging" reviews the current status of the machine-produced book catalog and what lies ahead as we enter the age of MARC. Where business methods have greater applicability, progress is easier, as reported in "Mechanization of Acquisition Processes." Even in this area generally acceptable practices and standardization are in the future, not the past. One of the problems of major and immediate importance in computerization of catalog information is that discussed in "Filing Systems for Computer Manipulation." This detailed review presents the complexity of the problems and suggests possible solutions. For many years technical service costs have been defended without adequate knowledge of the facts. As automated procedures are proposed, standards are determining costs of traditional operations become essential. The article on standards for such costs shows why the problems have been difficult and reviews the significant advances of the past few years. The school library has widened its dimensions in materials and services much more rapidly than other libraries, as reflected in its new name, the instructional media center. Here, technical change, together with new teaching methods, has made possible major developments in library service in schools as well as for children in the public library. Two articles make clear that what can be done has been demonstrated, and that what remains is to make this the rule rather than the exception. Bibliotherapy is an example of a field in which progress has been slow. Articles which illustrate the potential which systems theory and managerial planning theory have for libraries. The articles on the application of these concepts, which come from research in administration, are provocative and may appear controversial to some. The article on library development in developing countries provides an analysis in depth of our efforts and degree of success in assisting other countries in providing the library service which is so important in the modern world. .X 17 6 17 17 6 17 .I 18 .T Selective Dissemination of Information .A Mauerhoff, G.R. .B 1974 .W The present contribution does not duplicate previous studies but complements the earlier publications and closes the few gaps that exist in the literature prior to 1966 and after 1971. Additionally, it is a bold attempt to evaluate critically and objectively the history of the mechanized selective dissemination of information (SDI) as reflected in the literature, from the initial description by Luhn (1958, 1961b, c) to the post-1970 period when the SDI boom began losing ground to the more popular on-line interactive systems. The review therefore questions and interprets the concept of SDI, its implementation, and its evolution in the light of work performed by many companies, government agencies, universities, societies, and libraries during the last fourteen years. .X 18 7 18 34 1 18 49 1 18 53 1 18 59 1 18 121 1 18 125 2 18 127 4 18 129 2 18 145 5 18 164 1 18 202 1 18 211 1 18 213 1 18 224 1 18 243 1 18 357 1 18 376 2 18 378 1 18 408 1 18 421 1 18 440 1 18 452 1 18 453 1 18 459 3 18 465 1 18 466 1 18 467 1 18 468 1 18 490 1 18 491 1 18 495 1 18 506 2 18 507 1 18 508 1 18 510 1 18 511 1 18 512 2 18 514 1 18 517 1 18 520 1 18 521 1 18 523 1 18 524 2 18 525 1 18 526 1 18 527 1 18 528 1 18 529 1 18 530 1 18 534 1 18 576 1 18 580 1 18 591 1 18 595 1 18 603 1 18 604 2 18 609 1 18 612 1 18 619 1 18 622 2 18 623 2 18 629 2 18 631 1 18 632 1 18 633 3 18 635 1 18 636 1 18 637 1 18 639 1 18 642 1 18 659 1 18 676 1 18 699 1 18 700 1 18 702 1 18 703 1 18 705 1 18 707 1 18 711 1 18 722 1 18 723 2 18 726 2 18 727 1 18 728 2 18 729 1 18 730 4 18 731 2 18 732 2 18 733 1 18 734 1 18 736 1 18 754 1 18 809 1 18 810 1 18 812 1 18 813 2 18 814 2 18 820 2 18 822 2 18 826 1 18 827 1 18 828 1 18 866 1 18 870 2 18 873 1 18 877 1 18 879 2 18 1078 1 18 1089 1 18 1091 2 18 1143 3 18 1264 1 18 1283 1 18 1298 1 18 1299 1 18 1302 1 18 1303 1 18 1363 1 18 1366 2 18 1367 2 18 1368 2 18 1370 1 18 1372 1 18 1383 1 18 1396 5 18 1396 5 18 .I 19 .T Adventures in Theory of Languages .A Herdan, G. .W In trying to give an account of the statistical properties of language, one is faced with the problem of having to find the common thread which would show the many and multifarious forms of language statistics - embodied in scattered papers written by linguists, philosophers, mathematicians, engineers, each using his own professional idiom as belonging to one great whole: quantitative linguistics. The book stresses the peculiarity of statistics of language structure as against just conventional statistics. To put the difference between two types of statistics briefly, the latter comprises the methods and parameters of general number statistics as applied, e.g., in Economics and Demography, the former has its own methods and characterising parameters, particularly useful for describing and evaluating language structure. The idea of statistical linguistics as using concepts and methods of its own, which was adumbrated in the author's "Language as choice and Chance", 1956, has now taken definite shape. Of this development I shall try to give a brief account. In my book, "Language as Choice and Chance", the foundation was laid for a truly sensible application of statistics to language by my interpretation of the langue-parole dichotomy as being essentially that between statistical universe and sample. .X 19 7 19 37 1 19 39 1 19 40 1 19 44 1 19 47 1 19 88 1 19 97 1 19 102 1 19 103 1 19 228 2 19 229 1 19 233 1 19 253 1 19 313 1 19 318 1 19 321 2 19 324 1 19 329 2 19 359 1 19 377 1 19 379 1 19 395 1 19 416 2 19 441 1 19 442 1 19 450 1 19 495 1 19 505 1 19 511 1 19 521 1 19 524 1 19 560 1 19 563 1 19 565 1 19 567 1 19 573 1 19 592 1 19 618 1 19 632 1 19 635 1 19 667 1 19 700 1 19 748 1 19 749 1 19 751 1 19 764 1 19 765 1 19 777 1 19 778 1 19 782 1 19 791 1 19 804 1 19 805 1 19 835 1 19 851 1 19 862 1 19 875 1 19 893 1 19 952 1 19 1016 1 19 1061 1 19 1085 1 19 1086 1 19 1087 1 19 1182 1 19 1194 1 19 1199 2 19 1200 1 19 1274 1 19 1277 1 19 1278 1 19 1280 1 19 1287 1 19 1301 1 19 1302 1 19 1304 1 19 1313 1 19 1338 1 19 1344 1 19 1347 1 19 1380 1 19 1428 1 19 1444 1 19 1444 1 19 .I 20 .T The Age of Jewett: Charles Coffin Jewett and American Librarianship 1841-1868 .A Harris, M.M. .W Most librarians mark the beginning of modern librarianship from the founding of the American Library Association in 1876 and the appearance on the national library scene of such dynamic and controversial figures as Melvil Dewey and Charles Ammi Cutter. But in doing so, they overlook an extremely significant era in the history of our profession, for the quarter century preceding the 1876 meeting in Philadelphia was one characterized by great advances in the field of American librarianship. This period of growth was to have considerable influence on the course of library development in America after 1876. To ignore the third quarter of the nineteenth century is to risk misinterpreting the pivotal post-1876 era, and in this time of reappraisal, it seems particularly appropriate and useful to focus our attention on the years preceding the founding of the American Library Association. .X 8 1 20 20 6 20 42 1 20 60 1 20 85 1 20 129 1 20 171 1 20 172 1 20 237 1 20 469 1 20 585 1 20 599 1 20 640 1 20 652 1 20 665 1 20 762 1 20 803 1 20 909 1 20 918 1 20 1022 1 20 1045 1 20 1061 1 20 1268 1 20 1453 2 20 1453 2 20 .I 21 .T On Aggression .A Lorenz, K. .W In this book, Lorenz deals with the evolution of aggression in vertebrates. He points out that aggressivity is totally different from predation: that it is a biological necessity for defence of territory and for a cornered animal, and that it becomes mixed up with other innate drives, thus leading up towards reduction of intraspecific damage. This, be it noted, is most evident in fiercer social predators like wolves, where escape from the pack is virtually impossible and where co-operation without fighting is necessary for survival; whereas in the non-social but proverbially peaceful dove prevention of escape leads to violent and often fatal attacks on the weaker mate. In a final chapter he advances some suggestion as to how in the human species, where evolution is primarily cultural, and not guided by Darwinian selection in the strict sense, the aggressive drive may be canalized into less dangerous channels. Man has innumerable ways of adaptively ritualizing his behavior, many of them analogous, if not homologous, to those found in animals. In any event, On Aggression is a fascinating book by a master of his subject. .X 21 6 21 118 2 21 168 1 21 902 1 21 1034 2 21 1329 1 21 1386 1 21 1399 1 21 1399 1 21 .I 22 .T Education and Manpower for Librarians .A Asheim, L.E. .W This paper is not an official policy statement of the American Library Association nor of the Office for Library Education. It is simply an exploration, an outline of possibilities for consideration by the profession. Its purpose is to generate discussion that will lead eventually to a statement of Association policy that the profession will support and make effective. A basic assumption on which the statement rests is this: that the library occupation is much broader than that segment of it which is the library profession, but that the professional segment has responsibility for the definition and supervision of the training and education required by the complete range of activities encompassed by the occupation. Librarians are not the only persons who work in libraries, but librarians are the ones who are concerned with the advancement and improvement of the library profession. It follows then that it is the obligation of the professionals to engage actively in the establishment and maintenance of standards and norms governing the preparation of people who work at any level in libraries. They should define and guide the kinds of preparation most useful at the pre-professional level and not merely the education of those who will hold positions at the level we now call "professional." .X 22 11 22 60 1 22 230 1 22 272 2 22 371 1 22 908 1 22 934 1 22 954 1 22 1005 1 22 1148 1 22 1227 1 22 1423 1 22 1423 1 22 .I 23 .T Pilot Inventory of Library Holdings .A Braden, I.A. .W This project was undertaken because of the high degree of uncertainty among the library staff regarding the extent of the problem of missing books. The findings of this study gave the Ohio State University libraries concrete evidence as to how many books are missing and indicated the areas in which book losses are the greatest. These figures also provide information which can be conveyed to the faculty or administration when they voice complaints about the unavailability of library books. The areas where losses are high also tend to indicate the areas of most frequent use. .X 23 5 23 23 5 23 .I 24 .T Libraries and Technological Forces Affecting Them .A Cuadra, C.A. .W 1.

However up until the forties the overwhelming majority of algebraists were investigating merely a few kinds of algebraic structures. These were primarily groups, rings and lattices. The first general theoretical work dealing with arbitrary sets with arbitrary operations is due to G. Birkhoff (1935). During these same years, A. Tarski published an important paper in which he formulated the basic principles of a theory of sets equipped with a system of relations. Such sets are now called models. In contrast to algebra, model theory made abundant use of the apparatus of mathematical logic. The possibility of making fruitful use of logic not only to study universal algebras but also the more classical parts of algebra such as group theory was discovered by the author in 1936. During the next twenty-five years, it gradually became clear that the theory of universal algebras and model theory are very intimately related despite a certain difference in the nature of their problems. And it is therefore meaningful to speak of a single theory of algebraic systems dealing with sets on which there is defined a series of operations and relations (algebraic systems). The formal apparatus of the theory is the language of the so-called applied predicate calculus. Thus the theory can be considered to border on logic and algebra. .X 25 7 25 455 1 25 1117 3 25 1118 1 25 1119 2 25 1133 1 25 1137 1 25 1140 1 25 1141 1 25 1224 1 25 1409 1 25 1409 1 25 .I 26 .T Indexing and Abstracting by Association .A Doyle, L.B. .W This article discusses the possibility of exploiting the statistics of word co-occurrence in text for purposes of document retrieval. Co-occurrence is defined and related to the mental processes of authors and readers; several means of quantitative measurement of word co-occurrence are then scrutinized. It is shown that the most strongly co-occurring word pairs, which are therefore "associated" in a statistical sense, can be represented in the form of an "association map." The last half of the article presents two modes of use of association maps in literature searching. .X 26 10 26 35 1 26 45 1 26 51 1 26 78 1 26 174 1 26 175 2 26 176 1 26 309 1 26 315 2 26 328 2 26 419 3 26 420 2 26 421 1 26 422 1 26 479 1 26 484 1 26 485 1 26 499 1 26 562 3 26 564 2 26 565 2 26 566 1 26 571 1 26 577 1 26 660 3 26 661 1 26 662 4 26 663 2 26 664 4 26 666 1 26 769 1 26 812 1 26 824 1 26 1118 1 26 1144 1 26 1232 1 26 1279 1 26 1381 1 26 1382 2 26 1385 1 26 1427 1 26 1427 1 26 .I 27 .T Cost Analysis and Simulation Procedures for the Evaluation of Large Information Systems .A Bourne, C.P. Ford, D.F. .W A computer program has been written and used which simulates the several-year operation of an information system and computes estimates of the expected operating costs as well as the amount of equipment and personnel required during that time period. The program has been used for the analysis of several large systems and has proven itself to be a useful research tool for the study of systems with so many components and interrelated operations that an equivalent manual analysis would be extremely cumbersome and time consuming,and perhaps even impractical. This paper describes this program and shows, as an example, some of the results of a simulation of two of several suggested designs for a specific information system. .X 27 5 27 67 1 27 74 1 27 83 1 27 158 1 27 211 1 27 324 1 27 474 1 27 490 1 27 491 1 27 492 1 27 495 1 27 496 1 27 497 1 27 584 1 27 591 1 27 976 1 27 976 1 27 .I 28 .T A Note on the Pseudo-Mathematics of Relevance .A Taube, M. .W Recently a number of articles, books, and reports dealing with information systems, i.e., document retrieval systems, have advanced the doctrine that such systems are to be evaluated in terms of the degree or percentage of relevancy they provide. Although there seems to be little agreement on what relevance means, and some doubt that it is quantifiable, there is, nevertheless, a growing agreement that a fixed and formal relationship exists between the relevance and the recall performance of any system. Thus, we will find in the literature both a frankly subjective notion of relevance as reported by individual users, and equations, curves, and mathematical formulations which presumably provide numerical measures of the recall and relevance characteristics of information systems. This phenomenon of shifting back and forth from an admittedly subjective and non-mathematical term to equations in which the same term is given a mathematical value or a mathematical definition has its ancient parallel in discussions of probability. One cannot, of course, legislate the meaning of a term. It all depends, as Alice pointed out, on "who is master," the user or the term. On the other hand, the use of a single term in the same document to cover two or more distinct meanings, especially when such a usage is designed to secure the acceptance of a doctrine by attributing to it mathematical validity which it does not have, represents a more serious situation than merely careless ambiguity. .X 28 5 28 42 1 28 43 1 28 45 1 28 72 1 28 79 1 28 133 1 28 134 1 28 157 1 28 381 1 28 389 1 28 390 1 28 468 1 28 486 2 28 487 1 28 514 1 28 518 1 28 564 1 28 565 2 28 595 1 28 615 1 28 646 1 28 661 1 28 663 1 28 714 1 28 752 1 28 785 1 28 820 1 28 822 1 28 827 1 28 829 1 28 853 1 28 895 1 28 1091 1 28 1282 1 28 1282 1 28 .I 29 .T Some Questions Concerning "Information Need" .A O'Connor, J. .W The expression "satisfying a requester's information need" is often used, but its meaning is obscure. The literature on "information need" in relation to retrieval suggests three different (though not inconsistent) possible interpretations. However, each of these interpretations is itself fundamentally unclear. The various obscurities involved are indicated by critical questions, which those who write of information need are invited to answer. .X 29 5 29 35 1 29 42 1 29 43 1 29 58 3 29 66 1 29 68 1 29 69 1 29 70 1 29 84 1 29 95 1 29 165 1 29 175 1 29 261 1 29 274 1 29 346 1 29 382 1 29 444 1 29 445 2 29 447 1 29 449 1 29 451 2 29 458 1 29 474 1 29 475 1 29 476 1 29 477 1 29 478 1 29 479 1 29 480 1 29 484 1 29 485 1 29 486 1 29 532 1 29 566 1 29 590 1 29 609 1 29 625 1 29 656 1 29 660 1 29 680 1 29 689 1 29 704 1 29 762 2 29 764 1 29 781 1 29 814 1 29 893 1 29 901 1 29 967 2 29 1016 1 29 1030 1 29 1038 1 29 1045 1 29 1077 1 29 1084 1 29 1094 1 29 1118 1 29 1175 1 29 1195 1 29 1201 1 29 1231 1 29 1235 1 29 1281 2 29 1285 1 29 1358 1 29 1358 1 29 .I 30 .T Vocabulary Building and Control Techniques .A Wall, Eugene .W The rationale is given for creation and maintainance by an information center of a controlled indexing and retrieval vocabulary..

Galliher, H.P. Morse, P.M. .W This is an interim report on continuing studies of library operations at Massachusetts Institute of Technology being made by members of the Institute's Operations Research Project in cooperation with the librarians and library staff. In this report, which is based on actual observations of on-the-premise use made of the Science Library, various statistics measuring the kind, degree, and intensity of use are tabulated. In addition there are some suggested measures of effectiveness of the library. A unique outcome of the survey has been the construction and verification of a mathematical model employing probability theory to measure rate and kind of use of library material together with length of stay of library patrons. Such models, characteristic of an operations research approach, give promise of furthering the goal of effective library management and planning. .X 31 5 31 36 1 31 41 1 31 46 3 31 181 1 31 182 1 31 183 2 31 184 1 31 193 2 31 195 1 31 198 1 31 201 3 31 206 1 31 207 1 31 208 1 31 266 1 31 269 2 31 359 1 31 373 1 31 379 1 31 395 1 31 415 1 31 475 1 31 748 1 31 760 1 31 767 2 31 774 1 31 778 2 31 891 1 31 905 1 31 925 1 31 952 1 31 953 1 31 964 2 31 968 1 31 977 1 31 1009 1 31 1018 1 31 1019 2 31 1086 1 31 1173 1 31 1203 2 31 1240 1 31 1352 1 31 1359 1 31 1397 1 31 1417 1 31 1451 1 31 1451 1 31 .I 32 .T Information Gathering Patterns and Creativity A study of research chemists in an industrial research laboratory .A Maizell, Robert E. .W A comparison of creative and "noncreative" research chemists with respect to the ways in which they use their professional and technical literature.. The creative chemists differ from the "noncreative" in that the former read more technical literature on the job, are less reluctant to use literature of greater reading difficulty, are less influenced in their independence of thought, read more extensively and consult more frequently the older material, are more inquisitive and have broader cultural interests.. The findings of the study are believed to be helpful in planning library and information services, in refining future inquiries into the ways in which scientists use recorded information, and in improving tests for the identification of creative ability among chemists.. .X 2 1 32 4 1 32 9 1 32 15 1 32 32 5 32 96 1 32 103 2 32 137 1 32 163 1 32 207 1 32 255 1 32 456 1 32 475 1 32 592 1 32 716 1 32 768 1 32 771 1 32 774 1 32 783 1 32 799 1 32 811 1 32 816 1 32 913 1 32 961 1 32 962 1 32 964 1 32 968 1 32 1068 1 32 1151 1 32 1203 1 32 1291 1 32 1321 1 32 1339 1 32 1361 1 32 1407 1 32 1445 1 32 1445 1 32 .I 33 .T The "Half-Life" of Some Scientific and Technical Literatures .A Burton, R.E. .A Kebler, R.W. .W A consideration of the analogy between the half-life of radioactive substances and the rate of obsolescence of scientific literature..

In order to consider the later problem, the question of concept-formation is first discussed, which in turn requires a definition of concept.. An extensional interpretation is suggested whereby a concept is associated with a class of conceptually-similar documents.. Users' similarity- judgments then provide the empirical data for formal definitions of concept and conceptual relatedness.. It is found, however, that certain very general difficulties rule out the possibility of defining concepts and their relatedness by the method proposed.. Since this method is based on human relevance-judgments, it seems a natural one to adopt, so that its collapse has serious practical and theoretical consequences.. An alternative approach is therefore proposed whose elaboration will form Part II of this article.. .X 3 1 42 20 1 42 28 1 42 29 1 42 35 2 42 42 7 42 43 2 42 52 1 42 58 1 42 60 1 42 70 2 42 72 1 42 73 1 42 79 1 42 81 1 42 84 1 42 85 1 42 95 1 42 129 1 42 152 1 42 172 1 42 184 1 42 193 1 42 202 1 42 420 1 42 444 2 42 445 1 42 447 1 42 449 1 42 469 1 42 474 1 42 486 1 42 532 1 42 564 1 42 565 1 42 578 1 42 582 1 42 585 1 42 589 1 42 594 1 42 595 1 42 599 1 42 625 1 42 640 1 42 652 1 42 655 1 42 656 1 42 657 1 42 660 1 42 661 1 42 663 1 42 665 1 42 714 2 42 761 1 42 762 3 42 764 1 42 803 1 42 893 1 42 907 1 42 1016 1 42 1022 1 42 1030 1 42 1045 2 42 1054 1 42 1084 1 42 1154 1 42 1195 1 42 1201 1 42 1232 1 42 1235 1 42 1268 1 42 1281 2 42 1285 1 42 1295 1 42 1298 1 42 1394 1 42 1407 1 42 1407 1 42 .I 43 .T The Consistency of Human Judgments of Relevance .A Resnick, A. .A Savage, T.R. .W A comparison of the ability of humans to consistently judge the relevance of documents to their general interests from bases of citations, abstracts, keywords, and total text was made under controlled experimental conditions.. The results showed that 1) humans are able to make such judgments consistently, and 2) the consistency of the judgment is independent of the particular base from which it is made.. Apparent inconsistency arising from judgments made on the basis of abstracts remains unexplained.. This experiment, as well as others concerned with human evaluations of text material, leave unexplored the basic problem of providing a metric scale on which such evaluations can be measured.. .X 28 1 43 29 1 43 35 3 43 42 2 43 43 6 43 47 1 43 50 1 43 52 1 43 58 1 43 65 1 43 70 2 43 73 1 43 75 1 43 81 1 43 84 1 43 95 1 43 309 1 43 328 1 43 389 1 43 390 1 43 420 1 43 444 1 43 445 1 43 447 1 43 449 1 43 474 1 43 486 2 43 532 1 43 565 1 43 571 1 43 578 1 43 582 1 43 586 1 43 589 1 43 594 1 43 595 1 43 625 1 43 655 1 43 656 1 43 657 1 43 660 2 43 661 1 43 762 1 43 764 1 43 778 1 43 791 1 43 893 1 43 958 1 43 1016 1 43 1030 1 43 1045 1 43 1054 1 43 1084 1 43 1154 1 43 1195 1 43 1201 1 43 1232 1 43 1235 1 43 1281 3 43 1285 1 43 1295 1 43 1298 1 43 1298 1 43 .I 44 .T The Distribution of Term Usage in Manipulative Indexes .A Houston, Nona .A Wall, Eugene .W A semi-empirical correlation, based on data from nine indexes, permits the prediction of the percentage of terms in a manipulative index vocabulary which will be used to index any given number of documents.. This is a function of the total number of index entries in the system.. A log-normal relationship, similar to Zipf's Law, exists between total index entries and distribution of term usage.. Based upon the correlation, optimum vocabulary size and growth rate can inferred, as well as the most efficient arrangement of index entries in a storage medium.. The results agree well with published data and appear to be particularly useful for designers of mechanized retrieval or publication operations.. .X 19 1 44 44 5 44 57 3 44 61 1 44 62 1 44 76 1 44 81 1 44 329 1 44 359 2 44 389 1 44 390 1 44 416 2 44 450 1 44 511 1 44 521 1 44 565 2 44 567 1 44 748 1 44 759 1 44 765 1 44 778 2 44 787 1 44 791 1 44 875 1 44 893 2 44 894 1 44 1081 1 44 1082 1 44 1083 1 44 1154 1 44 1173 1 44 1201 1 44 1255 1 44 1255 1 44 .I 45 .T Measuring the Reliability of Subject Classification by Men and Machines .A Borko, Harold .W Procedures for measuring the consistency of document classification are described.. Three subject specialists classified 997 abstracts of psychological reports into one of eleven categories.. These abstracts were also mechanically classified by a computer program using a factor score computational procedure.. Each abstract was scored for all categories and assigned to the one with the highest score.. The three manual classifications were compared with each other and with the mechanical classifications, and a series of contingency coefficients was computed.. The average reliability of manual classification procedures was equal to .870.. The correlation between automatic and manual classification was .766.. .X 26 1 45 28 1 45 45 6 45 61 1 45 73 1 45 81 1 45 82 1 45 174 1 45 175 1 45 310 1 45 315 1 45 419 1 45 420 1 45 421 1 45 422 1 45 454 1 45 479 1 45 483 1 45 485 1 45 486 1 45 487 1 45 562 1 45 564 2 45 661 1 45 662 3 45 663 3 45 664 1 45 769 1 45 853 1 45 1279 1 45 1327 1 45 1419 1 45 1419 1 45 .I 46 .T A Quantitative Measure of User Circulation Requirements and Its Possible Effect on Stack Thinning and Multiple Copy Determination .A Trueswell, Richard W. .W The strategy outlined in this article describes a possible aid to the librarian for thinning a library's stack according to the criterion of user needs.. The method uses the last circulation date as a parameter of user circulation requirements.. The resulting stack collection would, by design, satisfy over 99 percent of the user circulation requirements and yet be of minimum size.. Preliminary, but not yet fully validated research, indicates that the number of volumes in a library's holdings may be reduced by 60 to 70 percent and yet satisfy well over 99 percent of the user requirements.. It may also be possible to determine which books should have multiple copies in order that user disappointment can be minimized.. The effective result of this approach is that there now may be a quantitative method of maintaining the library's holdings at a reasonable level and, in addition, a reduction in the disappointment of the user who is unable to find the book he wants because of use by another.. .X 31 3 46 33 1 46 36 2 46 41 1 46 46 14 46 115 1 46 181 1 46 182 1 46 183 1 46 184 1 46 193 1 46 195 1 46 198 1 46 201 1 46 206 1 46 207 1 46 208 1 46 266 1 46 269 3 46 278 1 46 280 2 46 282 1 46 290 2 46 367 1 46 395 1 46 415 1 46 759 1 46 760 1 46 767 2 46 774 1 46 778 2 46 891 1 46 905 1 46 925 2 46 943 1 46 952 1 46 953 1 46 964 2 46 968 1 46 977 1 46 983 3 46 1009 1 46 1018 1 46 1019 4 46 1023 1 46 1030 1 46 1086 1 46 1203 2 46 1240 1 46 1359 1 46 1397 1 46 1416 2 46 1417 3 46 1450 1 46 1450 1 46 .I 47 .T Improvement of the Selectivity of Citation Indexes to Science Literature Through Inclusion of Citation Relationship Indicators .A Lipetz, Ben-Ami .W Citation indexes to large bodies of science literature can often list far more citing references under the known cited reference than the user can afford the time to look up.. By providing some additional information, beyond the minimal association of the citing reference with the cited reference, a citation index could provide the means of the user to select from a long list those citing references which are most relevant to his immediate search requirement.. Means of providing this selectivity are discussed.. Particular attention is given to the possibility of adding short codes to the citation entries which would be informative of the way in which the citing publication is operationally related to the cited one (this method is an integral feature of the Shepard's legal citations).. A scheme of citation relationships of potential value to users of science literature is presented.. These relationships were tested on a sampling of physics literature.. The suggested categories include indicators of the relation of the citing reference to the scientific process in general, as well as indicators of its relationship to the cited reference in particular.. Assignment of the categories to a citation requires the exercise of judgment, as in subject indexing, but does not involve the use of subject terminology.. An illustration is provided of the application from a citation index to physics literature.. .X 19 1 47 37 1 47 39 1 47 40 1 47 41 1 47 43 1 47 47 6 47 48 1 47 50 1 47 65 1 47 75 1 47 88 1 47 97 1 47 102 2 47 103 1 47 106 1 47 113 1 47 233 1 47 253 1 47 313 1 47 359 1 47 377 2 47 379 1 47 395 1 47 503 1 47 505 1 47 513 1 47 560 1 47 573 1 47 586 1 47 618 1 47 632 2 47 635 1 47 667 1 47 748 1 47 749 1 47 751 1 47 764 2 47 765 1 47 777 1 47 778 2 47 782 1 47 791 1 47 804 1 47 805 1 47 893 1 47 952 1 47 958 1 47 1016 1 47 1061 1 47 1085 1 47 1086 1 47 1087 1 47 1182 1 47 1200 1 47 1210 1 47 1274 2 47 1277 2 47 1278 2 47 1280 2 47 1285 1 47 1287 1 47 1300 1 47 1301 2 47 1302 2 47 1304 1 47 1308 1 47 1313 3 47 1338 1 47 1344 1 47 1347 1 47 1380 1 47 1428 1 47 1444 2 47 1444 2 47 .I 48 .T The Norms of Citation Behavior: Prolegomena to the Footnote .A Kaplan, Norman .W The publication explosion has focused renewed attention on the lowly footnote..

This paper reviews the state of our knowledge, raises questions, and proposes suggestions and hypotheses for studying the relationships between footnoting practices among scientists and the social system of science.. .X 33 2 48 47 1 48 48 10 48 98 2 48 100 1 48 102 3 48 104 2 48 106 3 48 108 1 48 110 1 48 111 1 48 112 1 48 113 4 48 167 1 48 170 1 48 233 1 48 314 1 48 361 1 48 439 1 48 440 1 48 456 3 48 503 1 48 513 1 48 533 2 48 545 2 48 560 1 48 614 1 48 635 1 48 638 1 48 748 1 48 753 1 48 756 1 48 757 1 48 784 1 48 787 1 48 792 1 48 793 1 48 821 1 48 831 1 48 952 1 48 953 1 48 1062 1 48 1082 1 48 1083 1 48 1087 1 48 1173 1 48 1210 2 48 1254 1 48 1256 1 48 1260 1 48 1270 1 48 1273 1 48 1275 1 48 1278 1 48 1285 3 48 1286 2 48 1287 4 48 1291 1 48 1300 1 48 1301 1 48 1302 1 48 1304 1 48 1308 1 48 1313 1 48 1335 1 48 1337 2 48 1338 4 48 1340 1 48 1341 1 48 1344 2 48 1346 2 48 1347 1 48 1369 1 48 1373 1 48 1386 1 48 1418 1 48 1418 1 48 .I 49 .T Adaptive Information Dissemination .A Sage, C.R. .A Anderson, R.R. .A Fitzwater, D.R. .W Computer dissemination of information offers significant advantages over manual dissemination because the computer can use strategies that are impractical and in some cases impossible for a human.. This paper describes the Ames Laboratory Selective Dissemination of Information system with emphasis on the effectiveness of user feedback.. The system will accept any document, abstract, keyword, etc., in a KWIC or Science Citation Index Source format.. User profiles consist of words or word clusters each with an initially assigned significance value.. These values are used in making the decision to notify a user that he may be interested in a particular document.. According to responses, the significance values are increased or decreased and quickly attain an equilibrium which accurately describes the user's interests.. The system is economical compared to other existing SDI systems and human intervention is negligible except for adding and deleting profile entries.. .X 18 1 49 34 1 49 49 5 49 53 1 49 54 1 49 59 1 49 164 1 49 202 1 49 213 1 49 224 1 49 243 1 49 421 2 49 465 3 49 466 1 49 480 1 49 490 1 49 491 1 49 506 1 49 507 1 49 510 1 49 512 1 49 591 1 49 595 1 49 603 1 49 604 1 49 622 1 49 623 1 49 629 1 49 633 1 49 639 1 49 659 1 49 676 2 49 711 1 49 714 1 49 722 1 49 723 1 49 726 1 49 728 1 49 730 1 49 731 1 49 732 1 49 748 1 49 809 1 49 810 1 49 813 1 49 814 1 49 820 1 49 822 1 49 828 1 49 870 1 49 879 1 49 1091 1 49 1279 1 49 1283 1 49 1298 1 49 1299 1 49 1363 1 49 1366 1 49 1367 1 49 1368 1 49 1396 1 49 1396 1 49 .I 50 .T Comparison of the Results of Bibliographic Coupling and Analytic Subject Indexing .A Kessler, M.M. .W A detailed comparison of how 334 papers in Volume 112 of Physical Review form related groups according to two criteria of relatedness..

Author indexing of 285 documents reporting biomedical research was scored by comparing the author- supplied terms (author set) for each paper with a criterion set of terms that was established by asking a group of 12 potential users to describe the same document.. Terms in the document title (title set) were scored similarly.. The average author set contained almost half of all the terms employed by more than one member of the user group and scored 73% of the maximal possible score, as compared with 44% for the average title set.. When judged by the method and criterion employed here, author indexing is substantially better than indexing derived from document titles.. The findings suggest that indicia supplied by an author should serve scientists in biomedical disciplines other than his own about as well as they serve his disciplinary colleagues.. The general method developed for measuring indexing quality may represent a practical yardstick of wide applicability.. .X 35 1 52 38 2 52 42 1 52 43 1 52 52 6 52 61 1 52 70 1 52 73 2 52 75 1 52 81 2 52 82 1 52 95 1 52 150 2 52 420 1 52 429 1 52 455 1 52 510 1 52 578 1 52 582 2 52 589 3 52 594 1 52 595 1 52 603 2 52 655 1 52 656 1 52 657 1 52 722 2 52 781 1 52 799 1 52 830 1 52 893 1 52 1054 1 52 1144 1 52 1154 1 52 1195 2 52 1232 1 52 1255 1 52 1281 1 52 1295 1 52 1298 1 52 1421 1 52 1421 1 52 .I 53 .T The KWIC Index Concept: A Retrospective View .A Fischer, Marguerite .W This paper defines and describes the KWIC (keyword in context) index concept, providing a history of the concept and of its literature..

Explications are developed of the meanings of the request forms just given and several others.. A request of any of the forms discussed is interpreted to be for documents which support statements of a specified kind in a specified way.. Examples are given which suggest that some, perhaps all, "about S" requests are unclear.. Some ways of formulating clear question requests are given..

Its advantages are: (1) it provides a single index of the property it attempts to measure; (2) it allows for gradations of retrieval status, through the mathematical concept of a "weak ordering"; (3) it evaluates retrieval performance relative to random searching; and (4) it takes into account the amount of relevant material desired by the requester.. .X 44 1 61 45 1 61 51 1 61 52 1 61 57 1 61 61 14 61 62 1 61 67 2 61 70 1 61 71 1 61 72 1 61 73 2 61 114 1 61 135 1 61 144 1 61 149 1 61 175 3 61 176 1 61 206 1 61 207 1 61 208 1 61 274 1 61 320 1 61 382 1 61 389 1 61 390 1 61 419 1 61 455 1 61 458 3 61 459 1 61 481 1 61 483 1 61 485 1 61 491 1 61 526 1 61 546 1 61 565 2 61 577 1 61 579 1 61 606 1 61 626 1 61 644 1 61 660 1 61 662 1 61 664 1 61 676 1 61 745 1 61 754 1 61 779 1 61 780 1 61 814 1 61 826 1 61 907 1 61 981 1 61 982 1 61 1035 1 61 1154 1 61 1187 1 61 1255 3 61 1268 1 61 1286 1 61 1327 1 61 1358 1 61 1380 1 61 1402 1 61 1410 1 61 1416 1 61 1417 1 61 1417 1 61 .I 62 .T A Literature Search and File Organization Model .A Leimkuhler, Ferdinand F. .W A principle of sequential optimization in search theory distributes the search effort at each stage so as to maximize the probability of target detection with the effort expended thus far.. As an application of this principle to the search of pertinent items in a literature file, the file items should be arranged in decreasing order of the probability that an item will yield the information sought.. Complete ordering in this manner may not be feasible, and it is proposed that the files be partially ordered in search zones with some loss in search efficiency.. A model for assessing the relative efficiency for partial ordering is developed and used to determine optimal zone sizes under an assumed target distribution pattern.. In this way, trade-off between file organization effort and search effort can be meaningfully evaluated.. A representative target distribution function for search literature appears to follow the Bradford law of scattering.. This function is used to demonstrate the application of the model over a meaningful range of parameters obtained from empirical studies.. It is shown that a good two-zone search plan to scientific literature is one in which 15-20% of the most useful documents are examined first.. Only about one of three searches should have to go on to a search over the remainder of the file.. .X 24 1 62 44 1 62 61 1 62 62 10 62 65 1 62 66 1 62 67 2 62 75 1 62 76 1 62 137 1 62 172 1 62 175 2 62 210 1 62 278 1 62 279 1 62 280 1 62 310 1 62 316 1 62 318 1 62 359 3 62 360 1 62 363 1 62 382 1 62 386 1 62 395 1 62 398 1 62 409 1 62 435 1 62 458 1 62 462 1 62 483 1 62 484 1 62 567 1 62 604 1 62 658 1 62 716 1 62 737 1 62 748 1 62 751 1 62 765 2 62 778 3 62 779 1 62 782 1 62 788 1 62 789 1 62 837 1 62 853 1 62 875 1 62 883 1 62 893 1 62 907 1 62 925 1 62 1083 1 62 1085 1 62 1173 1 62 1184 1 62 1187 2 62 1219 1 62 1268 1 62 1274 1 62 1361 1 62 1400 1 62 1404 1 62 1416 1 62 1417 2 62 1418 1 62 1419 1 62 1426 1 62 1426 1 62 .I 63 .T The Publication Inflation .A London, Gertrude .W The much-vaunted information explosion seems to be the manifestation of a rather generalized publication inflation.. Multipublication and pretentious writing have become obstacles to "communication between human minds".

The paper deals with some of the points made in an earlier publication from the UCLA serials project.. The attempt is to show how the theory of publication pattern (discussed in the earlier article) has been used to produce a different idea in computer control of serials.. Publication pattern information which is entered into the master record for each title causes check-in cards for the next expected issue of each title to be generated by the computer, regardless of when this text issue is expected - next week, next month, next year.. This is departure from most systems, which attempt to predict a certain number of issues which should arrive during a given time period.. The information, which must be a part of the computer record, is described, as are library procedures in maintaining the system.. .X 64 6 64 175 1 64 200 2 64 245 1 64 374 1 64 717 1 64 781 1 64 783 1 64 834 1 64 835 1 64 848 1 64 849 1 64 850 1 64 851 1 64 852 1 64 922 1 64 925 1 64 979 1 64 981 1 64 982 1 64 1042 1 64 1051 1 64 1415 1 64 1415 1 64 .I 65 .T A Study of Searching the Eye Research Literature .A Miller, Russell R. .W The paper is a report of most of the major findings of a study in searching the periodical eye research literature.. Questions were collected from eye researchers and a selected group of these were searched in nine different secondary sources.. Articles thought to be relevant were Xeroxed and sent to the eye researchers who subsequently rated the articles.. Articles of eye research interest are found in a wide variety of journals, but a small number of journals carry a large proportion of the articles judged valuable by the eye researchers.. Approximately a fourth of eye research articles are in foreign languages.. Translations are not readily available.. Despite a delay of more than 15 month between the original appearance of article in journals and the mailing of photocopies, about half of the articles of interest to the researchers were not known to them previously.. For extensive retrospective searches more than one secondary service must be used.. Index Medicus and Excerpta Medica (Section 12) or Ophthalmic Literature would be good sources.. MEDLARS demand searches were not shown to be clearly superior to manual searches of Index Medicus.. Titles, abstracts, and full text were shown to be equally effective in permitting searches to retrieve references that were subsequently rated as relevant by the researchers.. A searcher with a background in ophthalmology was able to retrieve more articles of research interest than other non-ophthalmologist searchers.. .X 4 1 65 24 1 65 43 1 65 47 1 65 50 1 65 62 1 65 65 5 65 66 1 65 75 3 65 76 2 65 137 1 65 156 1 65 162 1 65 210 1 65 213 1 65 214 1 65 278 1 65 279 1 65 280 1 65 382 1 65 386 1 65 395 1 65 398 1 65 495 1 65 580 1 65 586 1 65 622 1 65 658 1 65 696 1 65 705 1 65 716 1 65 728 1 65 729 1 65 748 1 65 770 1 65 776 2 65 778 1 65 779 1 65 782 1 65 788 1 65 789 1 65 790 1 65 791 1 65 837 1 65 925 1 65 958 1 65 981 1 65 1055 1 65 1083 2 65 1086 1 65 1295 1 65 1297 1 65 1361 1 65 1400 1 65 1404 1 65 1404 1 65 .I 66 .T Psychology and Information .A Miller, George A. .W An aspect of the human use of information that has generally been overlooked in the automation in information services is the human tendency to locate information spatially.. Computer-based systems do not necessarily assign any unique role to spatial tags, and so a feature of considerable importance for the organization of the user's memory seems to have been largely overlooked.. The spatial dimension of human memory is discussed, and some suggestions are offered for exploiting it more effectively in the context of information retrieval services.. .X 13 1 66 24 1 66 29 1 66 58 1 66 62 1 66 65 1 66 66 7 66 75 2 66 76 1 66 137 1 66 152 1 66 197 1 66 210 1 66 211 1 66 218 1 66 274 1 66 278 1 66 279 1 66 280 1 66 332 1 66 350 1 66 386 1 66 395 1 66 398 1 66 451 1 66 455 1 66 475 1 66 546 1 66 586 1 66 593 1 66 594 1 66 606 1 66 658 1 66 664 1 66 716 1 66 748 1 66 782 1 66 783 1 66 788 1 66 789 1 66 837 2 66 839 1 66 907 1 66 925 1 66 967 1 66 968 1 66 1035 2 66 1083 1 66 1094 1 66 1213 1 66 1361 1 66 1400 1 66 1404 1 66 1404 1 66 .I 67 .T The Use of Simulation in Studying Information Storage and Retrieval Systems .A Baker, Norman R. .A Nance, Richard E. .W Previous applications of simulation to information storage and retrieval systems (ISRS) have been overly restrictive in their scope and have failed to consider the environment within which such systems operate.. This paper considers the ISRS as a subsystem within a larger system which includes the users and the funders of the retrieval system.. The three components form a closed-loop information feedback system in which user response influences both the funding and operation of the ISRS as it attempts to satisfy user needs within a finite budget allocation.. Reward-cost theory provides the basis for describing user behavior.. An industrial dynamics model has been developed to simulate ISRS/user/funder behavior where a university departmental library is the ISRS component.. The results which such an analysis can produce are discussed.. .X 27 1 67 39 1 67 61 2 67 62 2 67 67 5 67 70 1 67 71 1 67 72 1 67 73 1 67 83 1 67 120 1 67 135 1 67 175 1 67 206 1 67 207 1 67 208 1 67 211 1 67 292 1 67 382 1 67 435 1 67 458 1 67 481 1 67 483 1 67 485 1 67 584 1 67 779 1 67 780 1 67 981 1 67 982 1 67 1184 1 67 1187 3 67 1358 1 67 1402 1 67 1410 1 67 1416 1 67 1417 2 67 1417 2 67 .I 68 .T Retrieval of Answer-Providing Documents .A O'Connor, John .W (I) Better understanding of subject document retrieval might result if different functions of subject document retrieval system are studied separately.. This paper is concerned with retrieval of documents, in response to a question, from which answers to that question can be inferred ("answer-providing documents").. "Answer can be inferred from document" has many possible meanings, one of which must be selected (an "inference specification").. Inasmuch as scientists in a field disagree about the correctness of inferences, have somewhat different background knowledge, etc., any inference specification can only approximate scientific inference practices.. Two sources of systematic knowledge of document-statement inference practices in a scientific field are described.. (II) If a content word occurs in a question, then it occurs in any answer to that question (with some apparently tractable exceptions).. An indexing procedure based on that fact is described which would permit retrieval of all answer-providing documents for a question.. However, because the indexing is "nonrelational", it could cause false retrievals as well.. Various ways of dealing with such false retrievals are briefly indicated, and a study is sketched that would provide data for helping selection among them.. Two special point concerning indexing for retrieval of answer-providing documents are discussed separately.. .X 29 1 68 58 4 68 68 7 68 69 1 68 77 1 68 78 1 68 79 1 68 84 3 68 117 1 68 175 2 68 261 1 68 346 1 68 382 1 68 420 1 68 458 1 68 476 1 68 477 1 68 478 1 68 479 1 68 480 1 68 484 1 68 485 1 68 566 1 68 571 1 68 590 1 68 595 1 68 680 1 68 683 1 68 689 1 68 704 1 68 781 1 68 790 1 68 1118 2 68 1124 1 68 1131 1 68 1175 1 68 1382 1 68 1382 1 68 .I 69 .T Statistical Generation of a Technical Vocabulary .A Stone, D.

Abstracts previously judged relevant, partially relevant, and nonrelevant to each of 61 questions were compared to see whether textual differences could be found which might reasonably account for the rating differences.. The results of this comparison were fairly clear-cut characterizations in each case of relevant and partially relevant abstracts.. These characterizations were found to be expressible largely as meaningful co-occurrences of terms closely related to the question..

E. .W The SMART automatic document retrieval system is used to study association procedures for automatic content analysis.. The effect of word frequency and other parameters on the association process is investigated through examination of related pairs and through retrieval experiments.. Associated pairs of words usually reflect localized word meanings, and true synonyms cannot readily be found from first or second order relationships in our document collections.. There is little overlap between word relationships found through associations and those used in thesaurus construction, and the effects of word associations and a thesaurus in retrieval are independent.. The use of associations in retrieval experiments improves not only recall, by permitting new matches between requests and documents, but also precision, by reinforcing existing matches.. In our experiments, the precision effect is responsible for most of the improvement possible with associations.. A properly constructed thesaurus, however, offers better performance than statistical association methods.. .X 30 1 71 51 1 71 61 1 71 67 1 71 69 1 71 70 1 71 71 6 71 72 2 71 73 2 71 74 1 71 75 2 71 77 3 71 78 2 71 79 3 71 80 1 71 81 2 71 82 2 71 83 2 71 86 1 71 135 1 71 153 1 71 154 1 71 156 1 71 168 1 71 175 3 71 176 2 71 206 1 71 207 1 71 208 1 71 211 1 71 212 2 71 245 1 71 247 1 71 277 1 71 279 1 71 280 1 71 315 1 71 382 2 71 389 1 71 390 1 71 448 2 71 458 2 71 480 1 71 481 1 71 483 2 71 484 1 71 485 1 71 486 2 71 488 3 71 491 1 71 493 1 71 503 1 71 507 1 71 509 2 71 510 1 71 512 1 71 517 1 71 520 1 71 522 1 71 527 1 71 528 1 71 531 1 71 565 3 71 566 1 71 581 2 71 596 1 71 603 1 71 608 1 71 633 1 71 659 2 71 666 1 71 715 1 71 720 1 71 748 1 71 754 1 71 779 1 71 780 1 71 785 1 71 786 1 71 787 1 71 788 1 71 789 1 71 790 1 71 791 1 71 805 1 71 809 1 71 810 1 71 812 1 71 813 1 71 814 1 71 817 1 71 824 1 71 825 1 71 838 1 71 853 1 71 894 1 71 925 1 71 981 1 71 982 1 71 984 1 71 1051 1 71 1294 1 71 1327 1 71 1358 1 71 1393 1 71 1402 1 71 1410 1 71 1417 1 71 1419 1 71 1427 1 71 1431 1 71 1431 1 71 .I 72 .T A Comparison Between Manual and Automatic Indexing Methods .A Salton, Gerard .W The effectiveness of conventional document indexing is compared with that achievable by fully automatic text processing methods..

Jr. .W The author's journal reference cards for 1965 and 1966 were analyzed according to three "interest patterns": (I) the total collection of 1469 article titles, a "potentially useful" set; (II) a subset concerning only his research speciality; and (III) a subset of articles defined as "useful". For each pattern, journals were ranked by frequency of use and a scatter diagram was drawn.. Patterns I and II largely resembled patterns obtained by counting citations in basic journals or by counting publications of selected researchers.. Pattern III was more widely scattered.. It is concluded that access to diverse journals is needed by researchers to supply new ideas, and that this diversity of reading is not reflected adequately by citation counting or other indirect means.. Current Contents, used by the author for current-awareness purposes in building his card file, generated 88% of all articles.. Scatter diagrams indicated the decreased scatter predicted from its use.. The 30% most important journals in this collection, including about 80% of titles, are ranked for each pattern.. .X 2 1 76 13 1 76 24 1 76 44 1 76 57 1 76 62 1 76 65 2 76 66 1 76 75 2 76 76 8 76 81 1 76 89 1 76 95 1 76 104 1 76 110 1 76 121 1 76 132 1 76 137 2 76 139 1 76 152 1 76 155 1 76 156 1 76 161 1 76 183 2 76 184 1 76 193 1 76 195 1 76 198 1 76 201 1 76 203 1 76 204 2 76 210 2 76 213 2 76 214 1 76 278 1 76 279 1 76 280 1 76 359 1 76 382 1 76 386 1 76 395 1 76 398 1 76 416 1 76 465 1 76 466 1 76 475 1 76 495 1 76 552 2 76 582 1 76 584 1 76 589 1 76 655 1 76 658 1 76 716 1 76 720 1 76 735 1 76 748 2 76 759 1 76 760 1 76 765 1 76 766 1 76 774 1 76 775 1 76 778 1 76 779 1 76 782 1 76 784 1 76 787 1 76 788 2 76 789 2 76 790 1 76 808 1 76 828 1 76 837 1 76 893 1 76 914 1 76 925 1 76 977 1 76 1055 3 76 1056 1 76 1081 1 76 1082 1 76 1083 3 76 1086 1 76 1098 1 76 1123 1 76 1172 1 76 1201 1 76 1287 1 76 1295 1 76 1297 2 76 1300 1 76 1361 1 76 1362 1 76 1363 1 76 1397 1 76 1400 1 76 1404 1 76 1432 1 76 1451 1 76 1451 1 76 .I 77 .T The Effectiveness of Automatically Generated Weights and Links in Mechanical Indexing .A Artandi, Susan .A Wolf, Edward H. .W Work concerned with the statistical evaluation of the output of the MEDICO automatic indexing method is described..

Toward this end, the Negotiated Search Facility (NSF) makes possible indexer-controlled retrieval of information from a collection data base using tools beyond those available in a traditional bibliographic catalog.. The design philosophy of NSF is to offer a framework to guide the indexer while allowing him freedom to retrieve any data which he judges will help him make indexing decisions.. An example which indicates how an indexer might use the facility also shows how the display formats and command language promote interaction.. While the discussion is directed toward indexing, it should be clear that the facility would be equally useful to the searcher.. .X 24 1 78 26 1 78 30 1 78 68 1 78 71 2 78 72 1 78 73 1 78 74 1 78 75 3 78 77 4 78 78 10 78 79 3 78 80 2 78 81 3 78 82 3 78 83 2 78 86 1 78 153 1 78 154 1 78 156 1 78 175 2 78 177 1 78 180 1 78 211 1 78 212 2 78 245 1 78 247 1 78 277 1 78 279 1 78 280 1 78 281 1 78 336 1 78 420 1 78 483 1 78 486 1 78 498 1 78 501 1 78 562 1 78 581 1 78 593 1 78 595 1 78 666 1 78 720 1 78 748 1 78 785 1 78 786 1 78 787 1 78 788 1 78 789 1 78 790 1 78 791 1 78 838 1 78 852 1 78 853 2 78 854 1 78 855 1 78 925 1 78 984 2 78 1011 1 78 1118 1 78 1124 1 78 1131 1 78 1144 1 78 1294 1 78 1326 1 78 1382 1 78 1393 1 78 1431 1 78 1431 1 78 .I 79 .T Computer Selection of Keywords Using Word-Frequency Analysis .A Carroll, John M. .A Roeloffs, Robert .W A statistically based method for automatically identifying keywords in machine-readable text has been developed which produces keyword lists that agree better with composite lists produced by panels of human indexers than do lists produced by five statistical criteria previously suggested, and also better than lists produced by most of the individual panel members.. The method makes use of both the in-document word-occurrence frequency and the in-corpus relative occurrence frequency as measures of word importance.. Each statistical criterion was compared with the performance of human indexers by the use of rank correlation statistics.. The simple word count was found to be superior to the other four previously suggested criteria - all of which made use of the in-corpus relative occurrence frequency.. The test were conducted over 19 documents dealing with the subject of Information Science, a total of over 66,000 word occurrences.. Seventeen indexers representing eight different information centers participated in experiments.. .X 28 1 79 30 1 79 42 1 79 51 2 79 68 1 79 69 2 79 71 3 79 72 2 79 73 1 79 74 1 79 75 3 79 77 6 79 78 3 79 79 12 79 80 1 79 81 2 79 82 2 79 83 2 79 86 1 79 153 1 79 154 1 79 156 1 79 168 2 79 175 2 79 176 1 79 211 1 79 212 2 79 226 1 79 245 1 79 247 1 79 277 1 79 279 1 79 280 1 79 315 3 79 317 1 79 320 1 79 324 1 79 361 1 79 382 2 79 419 1 79 420 1 79 441 3 79 448 2 79 480 1 79 483 1 79 484 1 79 486 2 79 488 2 79 489 1 79 491 1 79 493 2 79 498 1 79 499 1 79 503 1 79 507 1 79 509 1 79 510 1 79 512 1 79 517 1 79 520 1 79 522 1 79 527 1 79 528 1 79 531 2 79 564 1 79 565 3 79 566 1 79 570 1 79 575 1 79 577 1 79 581 3 79 595 1 79 596 1 79 603 1 79 608 2 79 633 1 79 644 1 79 649 1 79 659 3 79 660 2 79 661 1 79 663 1 79 666 1 79 714 1 79 715 1 79 720 1 79 748 1 79 752 1 79 754 1 79 780 1 79 785 1 79 786 1 79 787 1 79 788 1 79 789 1 79 790 3 79 791 1 79 805 1 79 809 1 79 810 2 79 812 2 79 813 1 79 814 1 79 817 1 79 824 2 79 825 2 79 838 1 79 853 1 79 894 2 79 925 1 79 956 1 79 966 1 79 984 1 79 997 1 79 1051 1 79 1118 1 79 1124 1 79 1131 1 79 1216 1 79 1266 1 79 1282 1 79 1294 5 79 1327 1 79 1382 1 79 1393 1 79 1395 1 79 1419 1 79 1421 1 79 1427 1 79 1431 1 79 1443 1 79 1443 1 79 .I 80 .T A Graphic Catalog Card Index .A Lewis, Elizabeth M. .W To improve accessibility and maintenance of art slides in the United States Military Academy Library at West Point, a model card with a graphic image of the slide was designed with pertinent identifying information displayed directly above a black-and-white opaque photo and also key-punched into it..

It assigns a higher consistency value if indexers agree on the more important terms.. Measures of the quality of an indexer's work and exhaustivity of indexing are also proposed.. Experimental data on indexing consistency is presented for certain categories of indexers; and consistency, quality, and exhaustivity values are compared and analyzed.. The analysis of indexing exhaustivity leads to the conclusion that the increase of information as a result of group indexing is a process analogous to Bradford's law of information scattering, Lotka's law of scientific productivity, and Zipf's law of vocabulary distribution.. .X 30 1 81 35 1 81 42 1 81 43 1 81 44 1 81 45 1 81 52 2 81 57 1 81 70 1 81 71 2 81 72 1 81 73 3 81 74 1 81 75 3 81 76 1 81 77 2 81 78 3 81 79 2 81 80 1 81 81 8 81 82 5 81 83 2 81 86 1 81 95 1 81 153 1 81 154 1 81 156 1 81 175 1 81 211 1 81 212 2 81 245 1 81 247 1 81 277 1 81 279 1 81 280 1 81 359 1 81 416 1 81 420 1 81 486 1 81 578 1 81 581 1 81 582 1 81 589 1 81 594 1 81 595 1 81 655 1 81 656 1 81 657 1 81 666 1 81 720 1 81 748 2 81 759 1 81 765 1 81 778 1 81 781 1 81 785 1 81 786 2 81 787 2 81 788 1 81 789 1 81 791 1 81 799 1 81 838 1 81 840 1 81 853 1 81 893 1 81 925 2 81 984 1 81 1054 1 81 1081 1 81 1082 1 81 1083 1 81 1154 1 81 1201 1 81 1232 1 81 1281 1 81 1294 1 81 1295 1 81 1298 1 81 1393 1 81 1401 1 81 1417 1 81 1431 1 81 1431 1 81 .I 82 .T Is Interindexer Consistency A Hobgoblin? .A Cooper, William S. .W It is often assumed that the amount of interindexer consistency experienced under a given method of indexing is somehow indicative of the quality of the indexing.. To explore this assumption, two hypotheses are stated concerning the possible connection between interindexer consistency and indexing quality.. A specific counter-example is then exhibited which shows both hypotheses to be invalid.. Although a mathematical analysis of the counterexample yields certain insights, the general relationship between interindexer consistency and successful retrieval is more subtle than might have been expected.. It is concluded that until equations describing this relationship have been derived, measurements of inter-indexer consistency will have little meaning as clues to indexing quality.. .X 30 1 82 45 1 82 52 1 82 71 2 82 72 1 82 73 2 82 74 1 82 75 3 82 77 2 82 78 3 82 79 2 82 80 1 82 81 5 82 82 6 82 83 2 82 86 1 82 153 1 82 154 1 82 156 1 82 175 1 82 211 1 82 212 2 82 245 1 82 247 1 82 277 1 82 279 1 82 280 1 82 486 1 82 581 1 82 653 1 82 666 1 82 720 1 82 748 1 82 781 1 82 785 1 82 786 1 82 787 1 82 788 1 82 789 1 82 791 1 82 799 1 82 838 1 82 853 1 82 925 1 82 984 1 82 1294 1 82 1393 1 82 1431 1 82 1431 1 82 .I 83 .T The Cost Analysis of Document Surrogation: A Literature Review .A Landau, Herbert B. .W A state-of-the art literature review on the cost of classification, cataloging, indexing, and abstracting has been included..

Two judges (documentation experts) made comparisons independently.. They discussed their disagreements, attempting to resolve them.. In each case the positive judge was first asked to indicate what answer he inferred, and from what document passage(s).. The further discussion depended on the details of each case.. In general, the resolution procedures used will resolve a disagreement about whether a document is answer-providing or reduce it to a familiar kind of scientific disagreement (about a passage's meaning, a statement's correctness, or an inference's correctness).. This seems better than treating relevance judgements as subjective and not open to rational discussion.. .X 29 1 84 35 1 84 38 1 84 42 1 84 43 1 84 58 3 84 68 3 84 70 1 84 84 5 84 175 1 84 444 1 84 445 1 84 447 1 84 449 1 84 474 1 84 486 1 84 488 1 84 489 1 84 490 1 84 491 1 84 492 1 84 493 1 84 494 1 84 495 1 84 496 1 84 497 1 84 499 1 84 500 1 84 532 1 84 571 1 84 581 1 84 583 1 84 584 1 84 586 1 84 625 1 84 659 1 84 660 1 84 762 1 84 764 1 84 795 1 84 801 1 84 893 1 84 986 1 84 1016 1 84 1030 1 84 1045 1 84 1084 1 84 1195 1 84 1201 1 84 1235 1 84 1281 1 84 1285 1 84 1294 1 84 1294 1 84 .I 85 .T Information Science: Toward the Development of a True Scientific Discipline .A Yovits, M. C. .W It is pointed out that if information science is to be considered a "true" science similar to physics or chemistry then it must have a set of concepts and analytical expression which apply to the flow of information in a general way.. In several previous papers, the author and a colleague have described a model of a generalized information system which has wide, and perhaps universal applicability.. This paper elaborates on this model and indicates the range of its applicability.. Several fundamental quantities are defined specifically in a way which allows for quantification.. It is pointed out in this paper that this model can be the basis for the development of a "true" science of information with all of the necessary requirements for a science.. By the use of this model and the definition of a "true" science, the goals and requirements for a curriculum in information science are thus established.. Within this context, information is defined as data of value in decision making.. Quantitative measures of information can be obtained by relating information to specific observable actions which can be measured physically.. .X 20 1 85 42 1 85 60 2 85 85 8 85 129 1 85 172 1 85 457 1 85 469 1 85 574 1 85 585 2 85 599 1 85 640 1 85 652 1 85 665 1 85 762 1 85 803 2 85 1022 3 85 1037 2 85 1045 3 85 1077 1 85 1116 1 85 1161 1 85 1220 1 85 1268 1 85 1309 1 85 1309 1 85 .I 86 .T A Comparison of a Keyword from Title Index with a Single Access Point per Document Alphabetic Subject Index .A Jahoda, G. .A Stursa, Mary Lou .W Two indexes to a collection of 3,204 documents in the field of chemistry were test-searched..

Ordering of author' names as an adaptive device which symbolizes their relative contributions to research.. Interviews with Nobel laureates and comparisons of their name-order practices to those of other scientists suggest that this symbol is ambiguous and makes evaluation of individual role-performance difficult.. A probability model of expected distribution of name orders is used in measuring preferences for particular sequences, and these preferences vary with the authors' eminence.. On the assumptions that authors' names are listed in order of the value of their contributions, laureates should be first-authors more often than other scientists; in fact, they are not.. Instead, they exercise their noblesse oblige by giving credit to less eminent co-workers increasingly as their eminence grows.. They do so more often after the prize, and eminent laureates-to-be forego first-authorship more often than those as yet unrecognized.. The noblesse oblige, however, has its limits; laureates' contributions to prize-winning research are more visible than contributions to their other research.. .X 19 1 88 37 1 88 39 1 88 40 1 88 47 1 88 88 7 88 89 1 88 97 1 88 101 1 88 102 1 88 103 3 88 111 2 88 112 1 88 113 1 88 233 1 88 253 1 88 313 1 88 359 1 88 377 1 88 379 1 88 384 1 88 395 1 88 505 1 88 560 2 88 573 1 88 589 1 88 618 1 88 632 1 88 635 1 88 667 1 88 722 1 88 748 1 88 749 1 88 751 1 88 764 1 88 765 1 88 777 1 88 778 1 88 782 1 88 793 1 88 804 1 88 805 1 88 893 1 88 952 1 88 1016 1 88 1061 1 88 1085 1 88 1086 1 88 1087 1 88 1182 1 88 1200 1 88 1256 1 88 1274 1 88 1277 1 88 1278 1 88 1280 1 88 1287 1 88 1301 1 88 1302 1 88 1304 1 88 1310 1 88 1313 1 88 1335 2 88 1338 1 88 1344 2 88 1347 2 88 1380 1 88 1428 1 88 1444 1 88 1444 1 88 .I 89 .T Professional Standing and the Reception of Scientific Discoveries .A Cole, S. .W The Matthew Effect occurs when scientists receive differential recognition for a particular scientific contribution depending on their location in the stratification system. Merton originally introduced the concept to explain the allocation of credit among authors of multiple discoveries or collaborators. In this paper the concept is generalized to apply to all scientific work. If the Matthew Effect were to operate, the reception of papers of equal quality should be influenced by the location of their authors in the stratification system. To test this hypothesis, data are drawn from several studies of similar design. In each study we control for the number of citations papers received at time 2. This enables us to look at groups of papers that were judged to be roughly equal in quality at time 2. We then see whether there were any differences in the reception of these papers at time 1 depending upon various aspects of the author's location in the stratification system. All the data indicate that assessed quality of papers at time 2 is a more important determinant of a paper's initial reception than any of the stratification variables. However, the speed of diffusion of papers of equal quality is influenced by the reputation of the author based on past work that is being heavily utilized at the time of a new discovery. The Matthew Effect also operates for those scientists located at prestigious points of the social system of science. All other stratification variables, including eminence as measured by receipt of awards did not influence the speed of diffusion. Data are presented that indicate that top papers written by high-ranking scientists are no more likely to be widely diffused early than are top papers by low- ranking scientists. The Matthew Effect also serves to focus attention on the work of little-known men who collaborate with scientists of high repute and to increase retroactively the visibility of the early work of scientists who go on to greater fame. A discussion is included of the relevance of these data for the study of resistance to scientific discoveries. .X 33 1 89 36 1 89 39 1 89 41 1 89 76 1 89 88 1 89 89 12 89 97 1 89 98 1 89 100 1 89 102 4 89 105 3 89 107 1 89 109 1 89 110 1 89 111 2 89 112 1 89 113 3 89 155 1 89 157 1 89 163 1 89 183 2 89 184 2 89 193 2 89 198 1 89 199 1 89 201 1 89 203 1 89 204 1 89 210 1 89 225 1 89 269 1 89 308 1 89 312 1 89 314 1 89 356 2 89 359 1 89 373 1 89 384 1 89 391 1 89 544 2 89 545 1 89 552 2 89 560 3 89 582 1 89 587 1 89 589 1 89 602 1 89 605 1 89 613 1 89 614 1 89 632 1 89 638 1 89 656 1 89 685 1 89 722 1 89 735 3 89 747 1 89 750 1 89 753 1 89 766 2 89 767 1 89 775 1 89 782 1 89 784 4 89 788 1 89 789 1 89 793 1 89 800 1 89 808 1 89 828 1 89 905 1 89 953 1 89 977 1 89 983 1 89 1016 1 89 1023 1 89 1030 2 89 1050 2 89 1055 2 89 1062 2 89 1083 1 89 1085 1 89 1087 1 89 1090 1 89 1135 1 89 1256 2 89 1260 1 89 1273 1 89 1275 2 89 1276 1 89 1278 1 89 1280 2 89 1283 1 89 1284 1 89 1285 4 89 1286 1 89 1287 2 89 1290 1 89 1291 3 89 1293 1 89 1294 1 89 1295 1 89 1296 3 89 1297 1 89 1300 1 89 1301 1 89 1302 4 89 1319 1 89 1335 1 89 1339 1 89 1341 1 89 1346 4 89 1347 1 89 1386 3 89 1387 1 89 1390 1 89 1397 2 89 1417 1 89 1428 1 89 1432 2 89 1444 1 89 1444 1 89 .I 90 .T Involving, Computerizing, Personalizing .A Kilgour, F. .W In most libraries most users face a complex, monolithic arrangement of entries in catalogs and books on shelves. In classical librarianship no effort can be made to personalize the listing of titles or arrangement of volumes for an individual user. A user is unidentified, and, except for that small fraction of a percent who consult reference librarians, users remain nameless. The computer, however, with its superb ability to treat users as individual persons and events as individual events, possesses the potential for enabling big libraries to recapture the human qualities of which classical librarianship has deprived them since their days as one-librarian libraries. However, rehumanization is not the only contribution computerization will make to libraries. Developments in modern society are forcing libraries to establish new objectives. Contemporary living is information based, a phenomenon that is outmoding the venerable concept of library function. As small special libraries already do, all libraries must participate in the cultural activities of the individuals in their communities rather than merely make available a torpid "service." Libraries must look forward to supplying information to a user when and where he needs it - an objective impossible to attain with classical library techniques. .X 5 1 90 33 1 90 36 1 90 90 7 90 91 1 90 158 1 90 161 1 90 183 1 90 184 1 90 193 1 90 199 1 90 201 1 90 202 1 90 203 1 90 204 1 90 205 1 90 209 1 90 212 1 90 217 1 90 220 1 90 222 2 90 223 1 90 231 1 90 261 1 90 284 1 90 286 1 90 289 1 90 294 2 90 295 1 90 299 1 90 334 1 90 348 1 90 354 1 90 368 1 90 435 1 90 543 1 90 553 1 90 588 1 90 608 1 90 610 1 90 612 1 90 613 1 90 615 1 90 617 2 90 620 2 90 624 1 90 799 1 90 800 1 90 808 1 90 815 2 90 868 2 90 869 1 90 872 1 90 897 1 90 938 1 90 939 1 90 957 1 90 959 1 90 963 1 90 990 1 90 991 1 90 992 1 90 1023 1 90 1151 1 90 1196 2 90 1197 1 90 1219 1 90 1221 2 90 1227 1 90 1229 1 90 1318 1 90 1365 2 90 1390 2 90 1390 2 90 .I 91 .T Williams & Wilkins - The Great Leap Backward .A North, W. .W This article contains a call for active participation by all segments of the library and educational community in the Williams and Wilkins controversy and in the effort to achieve appropriate copyright revision. .X 5 1 91 90 1 91 91 5 91 158 1 91 222 1 91 223 1 91 232 1 91 368 1 91 375 1 91 406 1 91 421 1 91 429 1 91 435 1 91 439 1 91 440 1 91 513 1 91 580 1 91 582 1 91 588 1 91 589 1 91 603 1 91 607 1 91 609 1 91 613 1 91 614 1 91 615 1 91 618 1 91 657 1 91 685 1 91 686 1 91 691 1 91 696 1 91 721 1 91 722 1 91 724 1 91 725 2 91 727 1 91 809 1 91 813 1 91 815 1 91 870 1 91 957 1 91 958 1 91 987 1 91 988 1 91 992 1 91 1023 1 91 1057 2 91 1208 1 91 1219 1 91 1227 1 91 1269 1 91 1293 1 91 1298 1 91 1302 1 91 1364 2 91 1365 1 91 1390 1 91 1396 1 91 1396 1 91 .I 92 .T OCLC for You - and ME?! .A Plotnick, A. .W Sometimes it seems as if the library world has divided into two camps; those who seem to know all about this thing called "OCLC" and who keep popping that rounded acronym into their conversation with a certain bromidic effervescence, and the other camp - plain folk who are happy to take library life one acronym at a time, as they need it, and who, if pressed, might guess that OCLC has something to do with, oh, Optical Codes at the Library of Congress? Only in Ohio - where the Ohio College Library Center began and where this national, computerized, bibliographic data exchange continues to grow - is OCLC universally a library household term, even among computer-phobes. In Ohio, most librarians already realize the kind of thing going on at OCLC is not simply the building up of someone else's data base in little bits and bytes, but perhaps the biggest revolution in access to library collections since books were unchained from the shelves. .X 1 1 92 92 5 92 235 1 92 246 2 92 247 1 92 326 1 92 333 1 92 375 1 92 556 1 92 825 1 92 883 1 92 930 1 92 941 1 92 950 2 92 978 1 92 988 1 92 991 1 92 997 2 92 1000 1 92 1004 1 92 1024 1 92 1079 1 92 1153 1 92 1216 2 92 1247 1 92 1258 1 92 1266 1 92 1395 1 92 1441 1 92 1441 1 92 .I 93 .T The American Occupational Structure .A Blau, P.M. .W This book is the result of a collaborative effort extending over seven years. We have tried hard to make the book a genuine joint product to which each of us made the contributions he is best qualified to make. There is no senior author; the sequence of name is simply alphabetical, and we have reversed it in signing the preface and elsewhere to emphasize this fact. Our collaboration was motivated by our shared interest in social stratification, our common concern with advancing scientific social theory on the basis of systematic research, and the conviction that the inquiry would benefit from the different qualifications and viewpoints the two of us represent. There can be no doubt that our interests in and approaches to sociological problems differ to a considerable degree. Although we agree that refining research methods and advancing social theory are both important, for example, it is only fair to state that Duncan lays more stress on deriving theoretical generalizations. .X 93 10 93 438 1 93 1217 2 93 1331 2 93 1331 2 93 .I 94 .T American Overseas Library Technical Assistance, 1940-1970 .A Brewster, B.J. .W The United States has been engaged in activities known variously as technical assistance, technical cooperation, or development assistance for the past twenty-five years. This form of foreign aid, either government sponsored or privately supported, is a twentieth century phenomenon. The broader concept, foreign aid or foreign assistance, means providing another country with any kind of goods, whether financial, commodity, or manpower, to almost any purpose, and extends to antiquity. Technical assistance, which may be defined, on the other hand, as the supplying of techniques, is an outgrowth of the industrial revolution and parallels America's rise in the nineteenth century to world recognition as an important industrial and trade power. Government use of such aid as an instrument of foreign policy, as well as the integration of these private and public efforts in the foreign assistance field, began to develop under President Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy. This integration soon expanded under the new cultural relations program which the United States implemented during World War II to offset the Nazi propaganda and cultural offensive in Latin America. .X 94 5 94 1441 1 94 1441 1 94 .I 95 .T Scientific Communication: Five Themes from Social Science Research .A Menzel, H. .W The recent upsurge of interest in the behavioral aspects of scientific and technical communication and information flow has two distinct sources, a theoretical one in the development of communication research, and a practical one in the concerns of policy makers in scientific organizations and information services. For some time past, the attention of sociologists and social psychologists studying communication processes, once focused on so-called mass phenomena and mass publics, has turned to the interplay of communication processes with more and more definitely delineated and mapped aspects of social structure. One aspect of this shift in interest has been the increasing attention paid by behavioral scientists to the systems supplying information of a specialized sort, and to the publics which are consumers of this specialized information. The scientific and applied professions have been most prominent among the publics so studied. .X 29 1 95 35 1 95 42 1 95 43 1 95 52 1 95 70 1 95 73 1 95 76 1 95 81 1 95 95 8 95 98 1 95 100 1 95 104 1 95 105 1 95 107 1 95 109 1 95 110 1 95 161 1 95 312 1 95 386 2 95 398 1 95 420 1 95 456 1 95 475 1 95 544 2 95 578 1 95 582 2 95 584 1 95 589 2 95 594 1 95 595 1 95 624 1 95 655 2 95 656 1 95 657 1 95 967 1 95 1030 1 95 1038 1 95 1045 1 95 1054 1 95 1063 1 95 1154 1 95 1232 1 95 1281 2 95 1284 1 95 1287 1 95 1295 1 95 1296 1 95 1297 1 95 1298 1 95 1300 3 95 1312 1 95 1313 1 95 1345 1 95 1358 1 95 1386 1 95 1408 1 95 1408 1 95 .I 96 .T Communication Patterns in Applied Technology .A Marquis, D.G. Allen, T.J. .W The preceding papers have addressed themselves to the study of information flow in a particular stream of human activity which has been variously called science, pure science, basic research, or fundamental research, and which is only secondarily, if at all, concerned with the practical utilization of its products. At this point it is appropriate to note that there is a parallel activity which includes applied research, exploratory development, and engineering development. This second stream of research we will call technology. Far more is known about the flow of information among scientists than among technologists. From the knowledge that is available, however, we are led to conclude that the communication patterns in the two areas of activity are not only largely independent of one another, but qualitatively different in their nature. This difference is reflected most clearly in the mechanisms by which information is diffused within the two sets of practitioners. The present paper is addressed to these differences and to a discussion of the nature of the communication process between science and technology. .X 4 1 96 9 1 96 32 1 96 96 6 96 123 1 96 131 1 96 137 1 96 152 1 96 163 1 96 207 1 96 297 1 96 298 1 96 439 1 96 440 1 96 456 1 96 658 2 96 768 1 96 771 1 96 774 1 96 783 1 96 799 1 96 811 1 96 816 1 96 913 1 96 951 1 96 952 1 96 961 1 96 962 1 96 964 1 96 968 1 96 1030 1 96 1068 1 96 1154 1 96 1203 1 96 1285 1 96 1321 3 96 1339 1 96 1365 1 96 1386 1 96 1407 1 96 1408 1 96 1445 1 96 1445 1 96 .I 97 .T Bibliographical Citation Characteristics of the Psychological Journal Network in 1950 and in 1960 .A Xhignesse, L.V. Osgood, C.E. .W The aforementioned studies are related to the problem of information exchange in psychology. Journals are a part of the formal channel of scientific communication as well as storage elements for the summary accounts of research undertakings. Analysis of bibliographical citations thus can reveal certain characteristics of the pattern of information flow created by scientists in their work. The potential usefulness of this type of investigation is increased when it becomes possible to examine the trends through time of the communication network under consideration, and also when different communication networks can be compared. The present paper deals with some of the characteristics of bibliographical citations in the same 21 psychological journals published both in 1950 and in 1960. The list of journals used, along with the abbreviations to be used here, is given in Table 1; it includes 8 journals published by the American Psychological Association and 13 journals published by other organizations. .X 19 1 97 33 1 97 36 1 97 37 1 97 39 2 97 40 1 97 41 1 97 47 1 97 88 1 97 89 1 97 97 7 97 102 2 97 103 1 97 111 1 97 112 1 97 163 1 97 170 1 97 183 1 97 184 1 97 193 1 97 199 1 97 203 1 97 210 1 97 225 1 97 233 1 97 253 1 97 269 1 97 313 1 97 359 1 97 373 1 97 377 1 97 379 2 97 395 1 97 505 1 97 545 1 97 552 1 97 560 1 97 573 1 97 587 1 97 605 1 97 613 1 97 614 1 97 618 4 97 632 3 97 635 4 97 638 1 97 667 1 97 735 1 97 747 1 97 748 1 97 749 1 97 750 1 97 751 1 97 753 1 97 764 1 97 765 1 97 766 1 97 767 1 97 775 1 97 777 1 97 778 1 97 782 2 97 784 1 97 788 1 97 789 1 97 793 1 97 800 1 97 804 1 97 805 1 97 808 1 97 893 1 97 905 1 97 952 1 97 953 1 97 977 1 97 983 1 97 1016 2 97 1023 1 97 1030 2 97 1055 1 97 1061 1 97 1085 1 97 1086 1 97 1087 4 97 1090 1 97 1135 1 97 1182 1 97 1200 1 97 1260 1 97 1274 1 97 1275 4 97 1276 1 97 1277 1 97 1278 2 97 1280 2 97 1283 1 97 1285 1 97 1286 1 97 1287 3 97 1301 1 97 1302 6 97 1304 1 97 1313 1 97 1335 1 97 1338 1 97 1344 1 97 1347 1 97 1380 2 97 1390 1 97 1397 1 97 1417 1 97 1428 2 97 1432 1 97 1444 1 97 1444 1 97 .I 98 .T Scientific Communication: Its Role in the Conduct of Research and Creation of Knowledge .A Garvey, W.D Griffith, B.C. .W There is considerable apprehension today within the scientific community over the communication crisis in science.

The correlation between color and illiteracy for persons in the United States, shown later in Table 1, is an individual correlation, because the kind of thing described is an indivisible unit, a person. In an individual correlation the variables are descriptive properties of individuals, such as height, income, eye color, or race, and not descriptive statistical constants such as rates or means. In an ecological correlation the statistical object is a group of persons. The correlation between the percentage of the population which is Negro and the percentage of the population which is illiterate for the 48 states, shown later as Figure 2, is an ecological correlation. The thing described is the population of a state, and not a single individual. The variables are percentages, descriptive properties of groups, and not descriptive properties of individuals. .X 99 5 99 102 1 99 170 1 99 1320 1 99 1337 1 99 1342 1 99 1343 1 99 1347 1 99 1386 1 99 1386 1 99 .I 100 .T Priorities in Scientific Discovery: A Chapter in the Sociology of Science .A Merton, R.K. .W We can only guess what historians of the future will say about the condition of present-day sociology. But it seems safe to anticipate one of their observations. When the Trevelyans of 2050 come to write that history - as they well might, for this clan of historians promises to go on forever - they will doubtless find it strange that so few sociologists (and historians) of the twentieth century could bring themselves, in their work, to treat science as one of the great social institutions of the time. They will observe that long after the sociology of science became an identifiable field of inquiry, it remained little cultivated in a world where science loomed large enough to present mankind with the choice of destruction or survival. They may even suggest that somewhere in the process by which social scientists take note of the world as it is and as it once was, a sense of values appears to have become badly scrambled. .X 48 1 100 89 1 100 95 1 100 98 1 100 100 7 100 102 1 100 106 1 100 107 2 100 108 1 100 111 1 100 113 1 100 314 1 100 343 1 100 359 1 100 386 1 100 475 1 100 544 1 100 545 1 100 602 1 100 1062 1 100 1083 1 100 1085 1 100 1187 1 100 1285 1 100 1288 1 100 1291 1 100 1296 1 100 1300 1 100 1301 1 100 1302 1 100 1312 1 100 1313 1 100 1337 1 100 1338 1 100 1345 1 100 1386 3 100 1386 3 100 .I 101 .T Social Factors in the Origins of a New Science: The Case of Psychology .A Ben-David, Joseph .A Collins, Randall .W The uninterrupted growth of a scientific field depends upon the existence of a scientific community permanently devoting itself to the field..

In scientific psychology, this occurred in the late nineteenth century in Germany.. Using Germany as a positive case, and France, Britain and the United States as negative cases, it is shown that the new role resulted from academic career opportunities favoring the mobility of practitioners and students of psychology into other fields, and from the relatively low academic standing of speculative philosophy and its consequent receptivity to persons and ideas which promised to turn the study of the human mind into an experimental science.. .X 33 1 101 88 1 101 101 6 101 102 2 101 105 1 101 343 2 101 391 1 101 544 1 101 560 1 101 605 1 101 667 1 101 750 1 101 775 1 101 800 1 101 1063 2 101 1081 1 101 1082 1 101 1088 1 101 1271 1 101 1285 1 101 1286 1 101 1287 1 101 1308 1 101 1310 1 101 1312 1 101 1320 1 101 1334 2 101 1386 1 101 1387 1 101 1387 1 101 .I 102 .T Scientific Output and Recognition: A Study in the Operation of the Reward System in Science .A Cole, Stephen .A Cole, Jonathan R. .W The relationship between the quantity and quality of scientific output of 120 university physicists was studied.. Although these two variables are highly correlated, some physicists produce many papers of little significance and other produce a few papers of great significance.. The responses of the community of physicists to these distinct patterns of research publication were investigated.. Quality of output is more significant than quantity in eliciting recognition through the receipt of awards, appointment to prestigious academic departments, and being widely known to one's colleagues.. The reward system operates to encourage creative scientists to be highly productive, to divert the energies of less creative physicists into other channels, and to produce a higher correlation between quantity and quality of output in the top departments than in the weaker departments.. .X 15 1 102 19 1 102 33 1 102 36 1 102 37 1 102 39 1 102 40 1 102 41 1 102 47 2 102 48 3 102 88 1 102 89 4 102 97 2 102 99 1 102 100 1 102 101 2 102 102 16 102 103 2 102 104 2 102 105 2 102 106 3 102 108 2 102 109 1 102 110 1 102 111 2 102 112 2 102 113 7 102 163 1 102 170 2 102 183 1 102 184 1 102 193 1 102 199 1 102 203 1 102 210 1 102 225 1 102 233 1 102 253 1 102 269 1 102 312 1 102 313 1 102 314 2 102 343 1 102 356 1 102 359 1 102 373 1 102 377 1 102 379 1 102 391 2 102 395 1 102 456 1 102 503 1 102 505 1 102 513 1 102 544 1 102 545 3 102 552 1 102 560 3 102 573 1 102 587 1 102 605 2 102 613 1 102 614 1 102 618 1 102 632 1 102 635 1 102 638 1 102 667 1 102 735 1 102 747 1 102 748 2 102 749 1 102 750 1 102 751 1 102 753 1 102 764 1 102 765 1 102 766 1 102 767 1 102 775 1 102 777 1 102 778 1 102 782 2 102 784 1 102 788 1 102 789 1 102 791 1 102 793 2 102 800 1 102 804 1 102 805 1 102 808 1 102 893 2 102 905 1 102 952 1 102 953 1 102 977 1 102 983 1 102 1016 2 102 1023 1 102 1030 1 102 1050 1 102 1055 1 102 1061 1 102 1062 1 102 1063 1 102 1085 2 102 1086 1 102 1087 2 102 1090 1 102 1135 1 102 1182 1 102 1200 1 102 1210 1 102 1235 1 102 1260 1 102 1273 1 102 1274 3 102 1275 1 102 1276 1 102 1277 1 102 1278 2 102 1280 3 102 1285 5 102 1286 1 102 1287 4 102 1291 3 102 1296 1 102 1300 2 102 1301 1 102 1302 3 102 1304 2 102 1308 1 102 1312 1 102 1313 4 102 1320 2 102 1329 1 102 1335 1 102 1337 2 102 1338 3 102 1339 1 102 1340 1 102 1341 2 102 1344 3 102 1346 3 102 1347 3 102 1380 1 102 1386 3 102 1387 1 102 1390 1 102 1397 1 102 1417 1 102 1428 2 102 1432 1 102 1444 1 102 1444 1 102 .I 103 .T Nobel Laureates in Science: Patterns of Productivity, Collaboration, and Authorship .A Zuckerman, Harriet .W Nobel laureates in science publish more and are more apt to collaborate than a matched sample of scientists.. Interviews with 41 of 55 laureates and comparison of their research output with the output of the matched sample indicate that these patterns hold at every stage of the life-work-cycle.. As laureates report and as their publications collaborate, they exercise noblesse oblige in arranging co-authorship in collaborative publications.. Receipt of the Nobel prize is followed by declining productivity and changed work practices, as a result of changed role obligations and activities.. Reductions in productivity are more severe for laureates who experience comparatively large increments in prestige through the prize than for those who were already eminent.. The prize generates strain in collaborative associations so that most of these terminate soon after the award.. .X 15 1 103 19 1 103 32 2 103 37 1 103 39 1 103 40 1 103 47 1 103 88 3 103 97 1 103 102 2 103 103 8 103 104 1 103 108 1 103 111 1 103 112 1 103 113 1 103 170 1 103 233 1 103 253 1 103 313 1 103 359 1 103 377 1 103 379 1 103 395 1 103 475 1 103 505 1 103 560 1 103 573 1 103 592 1 103 618 1 103 632 1 103 635 1 103 667 1 103 748 2 103 749 1 103 751 1 103 764 1 103 765 1 103 777 1 103 778 1 103 782 1 103 791 1 103 793 1 103 804 1 103 805 1 103 893 3 103 952 1 103 1016 1 103 1061 1 103 1085 2 103 1086 1 103 1087 1 103 1182 1 103 1200 1 103 1274 1 103 1277 1 103 1278 1 103 1280 1 103 1287 1 103 1291 1 103 1301 1 103 1302 1 103 1304 1 103 1313 1 103 1334 1 103 1335 1 103 1338 1 103 1339 1 103 1341 1 103 1342 1 103 1343 1 103 1344 2 103 1347 2 103 1380 1 103 1428 1 103 1444 1 103 1444 1 103 .I 104 .T Visibility and the Structural Bases of Awareness of Scientific Research .A Cole, Stephen .A Cole, Jonathan R. .W The paper contains an analysis of several aspects of the communication process in science.. Using data obtained from printed sources and questionnaires mailed to university physicists, the conditions making for high visibility of a scientists' work are studied.. Four strong determinates of visibility were found: the quality of work, as measured by citations; the honorific awards received for work in physics; the prestige of the physics department to which the scientist belong; and speciality.. Quantity of output, age, and name-ordering patterns on collaborative papers have no independent effect on visibility.. Just as some physicists may be easily seen (i.e., have high visibility), other are in positions where they may easily see.. This latter characteristic is called "awareness"..The data indicate that awareness is high in all sectors of the population studied.. Variables such as age, rank of department, and quality of work made for only minor differences in awareness.. We conclude that the communication system in physics operates efficiently.. .X 33 1 104 48 2 104 76 1 104 95 1 104 102 2 104 103 1 104 104 5 104 106 2 104 108 2 104 110 2 104 111 1 104 112 1 104 113 2 104 161 1 104 170 2 104 456 1 104 545 1 104 560 1 104 582 1 104 584 1 104 589 1 104 655 1 104 793 1 104 893 1 104 1062 1 104 1274 1 104 1285 2 104 1286 1 104 1287 3 104 1291 2 104 1297 1 104 1300 1 104 1304 1 104 1313 1 104 1334 1 104 1338 1 104 1340 1 104 1341 1 104 1342 1 104 1343 1 104 1344 2 104 1346 2 104 1347 1 104 1347 1 104 .I 105 .T Social Structure in a Group of Scientists: A Test of the "Invisible College" Hypothesis .A Crane, Diana .W The existence of social organization within a research area may be inferred (a) if scientists who have published in the area have more social ties with one another than with scientists who have not published, and (b) scientists who have published in the area can be differentiated by degree od social participation within the area.. Using the mail questionnaire, sociometric data on different types of scientific relationships were obtained from scientists, all of whom had published in a particular problem area.. Respondents chose scientists who had not published in the area as often as they chose scientists within the area.. Analysis of direct and indirect ties, using Cleman's method for analysis of sociometric connectedness, revealed that a tie with one or more of the highly productive scientists brought other scientists of less productivity into a large network of influence and communication.. Similarities between this type of social organization and that of the "social circle" are discussed.. .X 15 2 105 33 1 105 41 1 105 50 1 105 89 3 105 95 1 105 98 1 105 101 1 105 102 2 105 105 14 105 109 1 105 110 1 105 111 1 105 113 2 105 155 1 105 157 1 105 161 1 105 163 1 105 233 1 105 243 1 105 308 1 105 312 1 105 314 1 105 356 3 105 386 1 105 398 1 105 473 1 105 544 4 105 545 1 105 560 6 105 582 1 105 592 1 105 602 1 105 605 1 105 607 1 105 656 1 105 667 1 105 685 1 105 750 1 105 775 1 105 800 1 105 893 1 105 1030 4 105 1048 1 105 1050 1 105 1062 1 105 1063 4 105 1081 1 105 1082 1 105 1088 1 105 1111 1 105 1186 1 105 1188 1 105 1235 1 105 1256 1 105 1284 2 105 1285 3 105 1286 1 105 1287 2 105 1290 1 105 1291 2 105 1293 3 105 1294 1 105 1295 1 105 1296 3 105 1297 1 105 1298 1 105 1300 2 105 1308 1 105 1312 1 105 1315 1 105 1319 1 105 1329 2 105 1334 1 105 1339 1 105 1341 1 105 1346 3 105 1347 1 105 1386 3 105 1387 3 105 1389 1 105 1408 2 105 1408 2 105 .I 106 .T Growth and Decay Curves in Scientific Citations .A MacRae, Duncan Jr. .W In a rapidly advancing scientific discipline, new contributions will supersede older ones.. This selection in favor of recent literature should be observable in the distribution of footnote citations in a given discipline, by age of article cited.. However, the age distribution of citations also depends on the rate of growth of the disciplinary literature.. The effect of growth of the literature and of selection favoring recent articles can be separated, if certain assumptions hold, by use of an exponential model that expands and clarifies earlier findings by Price.. This model provides a reasonably good fit to age-distributions of footnotes in several disciplines, and its application suggest that citations in sociology tend to refer to older articles than those in the natural sciences..A parameter in the model, measuring the degree of selectivity in favor of recent articles, can be estimated and may be useful in comparative studies of the communication systems of various disciplines.. .X 33 2 106 39 1 106 41 1 106 47 1 106 48 3 106 100 1 106 102 3 106 104 2 106 106 9 106 108 1 106 110 1 106 111 1 106 112 1 106 113 3 106 170 1 106 314 3 106 377 1 106 456 1 106 545 2 106 560 1 106 587 1 106 605 1 106 632 2 106 667 1 106 750 1 106 764 1 106 767 2 106 793 3 106 794 1 106 800 2 106 1062 1 106 1273 1 106 1274 2 106 1278 1 106 1280 1 106 1285 6 106 1286 1 106 1287 3 106 1291 1 106 1301 1 106 1302 1 106 1312 1 106 1313 2 106 1337 1 106 1338 1 106 1340 1 106 1344 1 106 1346 2 106 1347 1 106 1352 1 106 1386 1 106 1444 1 106 1444 1 106 .I 107 .T The Structure of Scientific Fields and the Functioning of University Graduate Departments .A Lodahl, Janice Beyer .A Gordon, Gerald .W Kuhn's concept of paradigm suggests that academic disciplines could be viewed as technologies involving degree of task predictability.. A series of hypotheses were developed in which relatively high paradigm development in a discipline was predicted to facilitate research and teaching through improved processes of communication and access to stored information.. Using questionnaire data collected from 80 university graduate departments, physicists and chemists were found to exhibit more agreement over field content, and to be more willing and satisfied to spend time with graduate students than sociologists and political scientists.. In addition, chemists were found to collaborate with larger numbers of graduate students in research than scientists in the other fields.. Two other aspects of scientific structure are discussed: the level of innovation being pursued within a field of a given time, and the degree of institutionalized differentiation of the field into subdisciplines.. .X 33 1 107 89 1 107 95 1 107 98 1 107 100 2 107 107 6 107 110 1 107 111 3 107 112 1 107 113 1 107 155 1 107 308 1 107 359 1 107 386 1 107 544 1 107 602 1 107 1062 2 107 1083 1 107 1085 1 107 1273 1 107 1291 1 107 1296 1 107 1300 2 107 1301 1 107 1302 2 107 1312 1 107 1313 1 107 1315 1 107 1338 1 107 1345 2 107 1347 1 107 1386 1 107 1386 1 107 .I 108 .T Productivity Differences among Scientists: Evidence for Accumulative Advantage .A Allison, Paul D. .A Stewart, John A .W The highly skewed distributions of productivity among scientists can be partly explained by a process of accumulative advantage.. Because of feedback through recognition and resources, highly productive scientists maintain or increase their productivity, while scientists who produce very little produce even less later on.. A major implication of accumulative advantage is that the distribution of productivity becomes increasingly unequal as a cohort of scientists ages.. Cross-sectional survey data support this hypothesis for chemists, physicists, and mathematicians, who show strong linear increases in inequality with increasing career age.. This increase is highly associated with a changing distribution of time spent on research.. Another implication of accumulative advantage is also corroborated: the association among productivity, resources and esteem increases as career age increases.. .X 48 1 108 100 1 108 102 2 108 103 1 108 104 2 108 106 1 108 108 5 108 113 2 108 170 1 108 314 1 108 545 1 108 893 1 108 1274 1 108 1285 1 108 1291 2 108 1301 1 108 1304 1 108 1313 1 108 1334 2 108 1337 2 108 1338 2 108 1341 1 108 1342 2 108 1343 2 108 1344 1 108 1345 1 108 1386 1 108 1386 1 108 .I 109 .T The Distribution of Social and Cultural Properties in Informal Communication Networks Among Biological Scientists .A Mullins, Nicholas C. .W Informal communication among biological scientists forms a discernible social structure.. This research analyzes the relation of that structure to (1) scientists' descriptions of their research and the orientations that underlie those descriptions, (2) social status in science, and (3) the formal social categories of science (i.e. discipline, department, and research organization).. Each of the observed structures is contrasted with a random model.. Neither social status nor the formal social categories show greater association on the social structure than to the random model.. The culture of science, on the other hand, as represented by description of research and the orientations underlying those descriptions, shows very strong associations with the discerned network structures.. .X 89 1 109 95 1 109 98 1 109 102 1 109 105 1 109 109 5 109 386 1 109 391 1 109 398 1 109 426 1 109 438 1 109 544 1 109 656 1 109 1050 1 109 1063 1 109 1284 1 109 1296 1 109 1300 2 109 1321 1 109 1339 1 109 1385 1 109 1386 1 109 1408 1 109 1408 1 109 .I 110 .T The Gatekeepers of Science: Some Factors Affecting the Selection of Articles of Scientific Journals .A Crane, D. .W The norms of scientific behavior as described by Merton include the prescription that scientific achievements are to be judged without reference to scientists' social characteristics.

Such a study, it was hoped, would yield data concerning similarities and differences among the sociological journals and between the sociological journals and the physical science journal. .X 33 2 111 36 1 111 41 1 111 48 1 111 88 2 111 89 2 111 97 1 111 98 1 111 100 1 111 102 2 111 103 1 111 104 1 111 105 1 111 106 1 111 107 3 111 110 2 111 111 13 111 112 5 111 113 6 111 155 1 111 161 1 111 163 2 111 170 1 111 183 1 111 184 1 111 193 1 111 199 2 111 203 1 111 210 1 111 225 1 111 243 1 111 269 1 111 356 1 111 359 1 111 360 1 111 373 1 111 456 2 111 487 1 111 545 4 111 552 1 111 560 2 111 587 1 111 592 1 111 602 2 111 605 1 111 607 1 111 613 1 111 614 1 111 638 1 111 735 1 111 747 1 111 750 1 111 753 1 111 764 1 111 766 1 111 767 1 111 775 1 111 782 1 111 784 1 111 788 2 111 789 2 111 793 4 111 800 1 111 808 1 111 905 1 111 911 1 111 953 1 111 977 1 111 983 1 111 1016 1 111 1023 1 111 1030 2 111 1055 1 111 1062 3 111 1083 1 111 1085 1 111 1087 1 111 1090 1 111 1135 1 111 1260 1 111 1273 1 111 1275 2 111 1276 1 111 1278 1 111 1280 1 111 1285 2 111 1286 1 111 1287 2 111 1291 2 111 1293 1 111 1296 2 111 1298 1 111 1300 1 111 1301 1 111 1302 4 111 1315 1 111 1335 5 111 1338 1 111 1340 1 111 1344 1 111 1345 1 111 1346 2 111 1347 3 111 1390 1 111 1397 1 111 1417 1 111 1428 1 111 1432 1 111 1451 1 111 1451 1 111 .I 112 .T Sociology Today: Lacunae, Emphases, and Surfeits .A Brown, J.S. Gilmartin, B.G. .W In sociology today, as in other sciences, the professional journals serve as major channels for the dissemination of ideas and information. The papers presented in the principal periodicals reach a wide audience among sociologists, are acknowledged as the best work, and stand as models for all who aspire to success. The viewpoints, conceptual schemes, interests, and methodologies reflected in these articles are therefore significant influences on both the current character and the future development of our discipline. .X 33 1 112 36 1 112 41 1 112 48 1 112 88 1 112 89 1 112 97 1 112 102 2 112 103 1 112 104 1 112 106 1 112 107 1 112 110 2 112 111 5 112 112 8 112 113 4 112 163 1 112 170 1 112 183 1 112 184 1 112 193 1 112 199 2 112 203 1 112 210 1 112 225 1 112 269 1 112 360 1 112 373 1 112 456 1 112 487 1 112 545 2 112 552 1 112 560 1 112 587 1 112 605 1 112 613 1 112 614 1 112 638 1 112 735 1 112 747 1 112 750 1 112 753 1 112 766 1 112 767 1 112 775 1 112 782 1 112 784 1 112 788 1 112 789 1 112 793 3 112 800 1 112 808 1 112 905 1 112 911 1 112 953 1 112 977 1 112 983 1 112 1016 1 112 1023 1 112 1030 1 112 1055 1 112 1062 1 112 1087 1 112 1090 1 112 1135 1 112 1260 1 112 1275 1 112 1276 1 112 1278 1 112 1280 1 112 1285 2 112 1286 1 112 1287 2 112 1291 1 112 1300 1 112 1302 2 112 1315 1 112 1335 2 112 1340 2 112 1344 1 112 1345 1 112 1346 1 112 1347 2 112 1390 1 112 1397 1 112 1417 1 112 1428 1 112 1432 1 112 1432 1 112 .I 113 .T Measuring the Quality of Sociological Research: Problems in the Use of the Science Citation Index .A Cole, S. .W The Problem of assessing the "quality" of scientific publications has long been a major impediment to progress in the sociology of science. Most researchers have typically paid homage to the belief that quantity of output is not the equivalent of quality and have then gone ahead and used publication counts anyway (Coler, 1963; Crane, 1965; Price, 1963; Wilson, 1964). There seemed to be no practicable way to measure the quality of large numbers of papers or the life's work of large numbers of scientists. The invention of the Science Citation Index (SCI) a few years ago provides a new and reliable tool to measure the significance of individual scientists' contributions. Starting in 1961, the SCI has listed all bibliographic references appearing in an increasingly large number of journals. The number of citations an individual receives may be tabulated and used as an indicator of the relative scientific significance or "quality" of that individual's publications. .X 39 1 113 47 1 113 48 4 113 88 1 113 89 3 113 100 1 113 102 7 113 103 1 113 104 2 113 105 2 113 106 3 113 107 1 113 108 2 113 110 2 113 111 6 113 112 4 113 113 14 113 161 1 113 163 1 113 170 1 113 199 1 113 243 1 113 312 1 113 314 2 113 356 2 113 360 1 113 456 1 113 487 1 113 503 1 113 513 1 113 544 1 113 545 4 113 560 3 113 592 1 113 602 1 113 605 1 113 607 1 113 632 1 113 764 1 113 784 1 113 793 2 113 911 1 113 1030 1 113 1062 1 113 1087 1 113 1210 1 113 1270 1 113 1273 3 113 1274 2 113 1280 1 113 1285 4 113 1287 3 113 1291 3 113 1293 1 113 1296 1 113 1298 1 113 1300 3 113 1301 1 113 1302 3 113 1304 2 113 1308 1 113 1312 1 113 1313 3 113 1315 1 113 1335 2 113 1337 2 113 1338 3 113 1340 1 113 1341 2 113 1344 3 113 1345 1 113 1346 5 113 1347 4 113 1386 2 113 1444 1 113 1444 1 113 .I 114 .T The Analysis of Information Systems .A Meadow, C.T. .W This book is intended to supply the background needed for participation in the analysis and design of information-handling systems and for understanding the literature in the field.

Some decision rules were developed to use this parameter as an aid in determining the number of copies of books to be held in the library and as an aid in the weeding of books from the library's holdings.. The effect of these decision rules on the circulation requirements of users as well as on library operations are described.. The method of data collection is described in detail and is applicable at libraries having comparable charging systems.. Cumulative distribution functions of last circulation date at two large college libraries and a public library were prepared and have been plotted for both circulation data and stack holding data.. This same data has also been plotted by subdivided subject category.. Circulation operating characteristics were prepared for all three libraries.. .X 5 1 115 46 1 115 115 8 115 183 1 115 192 1 115 196 1 115 215 1 115 219 1 115 221 1 115 234 2 115 236 1 115 245 1 115 303 1 115 364 1 115 365 1 115 393 1 115 415 1 115 433 1 115 647 1 115 651 1 115 764 1 115 811 1 115 816 1 115 818 1 115 823 1 115 842 1 115 885 1 115 925 1 115 943 1 115 944 3 115 947 1 115 948 1 115 983 1 115 1023 1 115 1059 1 115 1060 1 115 1071 1 115 1203 1 115 1257 1 115 1302 1 115 1417 1 115 1450 1 115 1450 1 115 .I 116 .T The Documentation of Chemical Research .A Fugmann, R. .A Braun, W. .A Vaupel, M.

The initial emphasis was on design and evaluation concepts and on techniques that were rather closely - and narrowly - connected with information storage and retrieval systems. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that there are many activities and ideas outside of this context that have, or can have, a very important bearing on the work of systems analysts, designers, and evaluators working on library and documentation systems. This chapter attempts to continue enlarging our perception of the range of reported activities that can help to improve the kinds of systems in which our readers are chiefly interested. .X 39 1 120 67 1 120 83 1 120 120 6 120 128 1 120 135 2 120 139 1 120 172 1 120 197 1 120 244 1 120 245 1 120 291 1 120 292 1 120 382 1 120 459 1 120 506 1 120 575 1 120 584 1 120 599 1 120 621 1 120 630 1 120 634 1 120 692 1 120 696 1 120 705 1 120 736 1 120 795 1 120 826 1 120 907 1 120 925 1 120 1038 1 120 1101 1 120 1178 1 120 1187 1 120 1402 1 120 1426 1 120 1426 1 120 .I 121 .T Document Dissemination .A Landau, H.B. .W This chapter is directed to those whose vocation (or avocation) is information. While we may call ourselves librarians, information scientists or technologists, abstractors and indexers, documentalists, IS&R specialists, literature searchers, and so forth, we all have one thing in common: We are either directly or indirectly involved in the dissemination of information. As disseminators, we are interested in far more than the techniques for transmission of information from one point to another. Despite McLuhan's (93) statement that "the medium is the message," we must concern ourselves with not only the means of document dissemination, but also the content and value of the documents we disseminate. This idea is prevalent throughout most of the papers reviewed in this chapter. A disseminator should think of himself as a selective switching center, inputting data, evaluating them, selecting worthy items, and directing and controlling their transmission to a target: the reader. .X 13 1 121 18 1 121 76 1 121 121 5 121 125 1 121 127 1 121 129 1 121 145 1 121 201 1 121 213 1 121 465 1 121 466 1 121 541 1 121 720 1 121 873 1 121 881 1 121 914 1 121 919 1 121 920 1 121 921 1 121 1143 1 121 1362 1 121 1363 2 121 1441 1 121 1441 1 121 .I 122 .T Information Networks .A Overhage, C.F.J. .W The rapidly growing rate at which information is produced and used in our complex society has presented us with major problems in information transfer.

The handling of large amounts of information is becoming a dominant theme in the management of our way of life. We are a technologically oriented society, and we have naturally turned to our communications technology to help us perform our enormous information transfer task. Beginning with the telegraph and continuing through the telephone, through radio and television to the communications satellite, the methods of electrical signal transmission have served to distribute information to its ultimate users. .X 24 1 122 74 1 122 75 1 122 119 5 122 122 6 122 336 1 122 365 1 122 394 1 122 452 1 122 453 1 122 526 1 122 528 1 122 612 1 122 684 1 122 855 2 122 872 1 122 903 1 122 907 1 122 908 1 122 940 1 122 955 2 122 1011 3 122 1143 1 122 1247 1 122 1264 1 122 1367 1 122 1435 1 122 1436 1 122 1451 1 122 1451 1 122 .I 123 .T Annual Reviews of Information Science and Technology .A Cuadra, C.A. .B 1972 .W In spite of concerns expressed in the literature about the health and vigor of the field of information science and of its service-oriented institutions - libraries and information centers - the progress reviews in this volume provide grounds for optimism. Some of the trends that were commented on in Volume 6 have proved to be solid and important. For example, the movement toward rapid interactive access to major public and commercial data bases is not very strong, and it will probably not be many years before satisfying experience with this new mode of information access will help it become not merely an experimental innovation but the standard means of searching and using centrally (or regionally) held data. Three chapters in this volume touch on related aspects of the movement: Bennett's review of the user interface in interactive systems, Gechman's report on machine-readable bibliographic data bases, and Brandhorst and Eckert's review of document retrieval and dissemination systems. This volume also introduces a new Annual Review topic of potentially great importance for future libraries: video cartridges and cassettes. It is widely accepted that libraries and information centers will, in the coming years, shift the balance of their holdings in the direction of some of the newer media, and the chapter by Kletter and Hudson helps to define the potential and problems of some of the promising new media. Other new areas of interest are information system applications in the criminal justice system and information system applications in the humanities. In addition to these topics, this volume covers three of the core areas of information science, which we attempt to review on as close to an annual basis as possible: information needs and uses, document description and representation, and organization of information. This coverage is consistent with a newly developed Annual Review master plan for cyclic but flexible coverage of some 40 major areas of interest in library and information science. .X 96 1 123 123 6 123 131 1 123 376 1 123 439 1 123 440 1 123 459 1 123 634 1 123 791 1 123 804 1 123 885 1 123 1019 1 123 1030 1 123 1037 1 123 1080 1 123 1198 1 123 1386 1 123 1386 1 123 .I 124 .T The User Interface in Interactive Systems .A Bennett, J.L. .W The digital computer has been used as a problem-solving tool for only two decades. During most of this time, computer scientists have concentrated on learning how to build the tool: applying electronic technology, arranging for data flow between components, and manufacturing the hardware. Now we are entering a new stage in which computing power is made available through interactive terminals to people who are not computer scientists. This is possible on a large scale only because design and marketing innovators now have confidence in their ability to provide reliable, cost-effective service to less sophisticated users. In this new stage, the natural behavior patterns of users become an important element in the design of the interface to the tool. .X 124 5 124 125 1 124 127 1 124 129 1 124 165 1 124 190 1 124 191 1 124 197 1 124 211 1 124 214 1 124 218 1 124 243 1 124 307 1 124 330 1 124 378 1 124 381 1 124 448 1 124 450 1 124 451 1 124 452 2 124 459 2 124 468 1 124 484 2 124 492 1 124 508 1 124 511 2 124 512 1 124 514 2 124 516 1 124 518 2 124 520 1 124 521 1 124 522 1 124 523 2 124 524 1 124 525 1 124 526 2 124 527 1 124 528 1 124 529 2 124 530 1 124 532 1 124 533 1 124 534 1 124 546 1 124 553 1 124 575 1 124 579 1 124 594 2 124 603 1 124 604 2 124 606 1 124 609 1 124 610 3 124 611 2 124 612 1 124 615 1 124 625 2 124 626 2 124 630 1 124 636 2 124 637 1 124 642 2 124 643 1 124 648 2 124 650 1 124 692 1 124 696 1 124 699 1 124 700 1 124 703 1 124 705 2 124 707 1 124 708 1 124 726 1 124 727 2 124 728 2 124 731 1 124 732 1 124 733 2 124 734 2 124 736 2 124 738 1 124 739 1 124 740 1 124 741 1 124 742 2 124 743 2 124 744 1 124 754 1 124 755 1 124 812 1 124 817 1 124 820 1 124 824 1 124 826 1 124 827 1 124 875 1 124 879 1 124 883 2 124 1004 1 124 1035 1 124 1078 1 124 1089 1 124 1091 1 124 1146 1 124 1207 1 124 1264 1 124 1297 1 124 1303 3 124 1327 1 124 1356 1 124 1364 2 124 1366 1 124 1367 1 124 1368 2 124 1370 1 124 1372 1 124 1373 1 124 1374 2 124 1375 2 124 1376 1 124 1377 1 124 1377 1 124 .I 125 .T Machine-Readable Bibliographic Data Bases .A Gechman, Marvin C. .W The advent of machine-readable data bases is one of the most significant forward steps in information retrieval..

The movement toward inter-institutional operations, or networking, began gaining force in the 1965-1970 period, through the establishment of many new library consortia, and there were some tentative efforts to use computers for nationwide bibliographic information "utilities." These movements are now more vigorous and are showing signs of being cost-effective, productive ventures. Inter-institutional cooperation not only promises service improvements and cost reductions, but also poses new problems and demands. Formalized cooperation among different institutions requires agreement about needs and priorities and gives special importance to a clear understanding of the information needs of specific user subgroups. It also requires more careful and productive system planning and design, including intelligent consideration of the "make versus buy" issue. Several chapters in this volume touch on these problems and considerations. One of the most significant developments in 1973 was the rapid growth in the use of on-line information retrieval services - both those operated by the federal government and those operated by the private sector. The apparent cost-effectiveness of these services is raising some of the same problems for data base producers that inter-institutional cooperation among library and information facilities is raising for the publishers of printed materials: namely, how to cover rising costs in the face of declining (or less rapidly growing) sales of individual units of the product - monographs, serials, secondary information publications, or magnetic tapes. The inclusion of a chapter on copyright - the first in the Annual Review series - reflects the importance of this topic in the growing controversy over the ownership and distribution of information. Another aspect of that controversy - the role of government and non-profit information services in relation to those of private industry - is explored in this year's chapter on document retrieval systems and techniques. .X 126 7 126 131 1 126 449 1 126 525 1 126 526 1 126 533 1 126 574 1 126 616 1 126 640 1 126 823 1 126 1035 1 126 1305 1 126 1306 1 126 1313 1 126 1313 1 126 .I 127 .T Use of Machine-Readable Data Bases .A Williams, M.E. .W This is the first Annual Review chapter entitled "Use of Machine- Readable Data Bases." Therefore, the coverage provided is for more than a one-year period. A chapter by Gechman (79) on machine-readable bibliographic data bases included literature from 1969 through 1971. A chapter by Housman (100) covered the use of data bases for selective dissemination of information (SDI) and a chapter by Parkins & Kennedy (153) has previously reviewed secondary information services. This chapter will cover the 1973 literature on data bases as well as earlier data base papers not treated in prior chapters. For purposes of this chapter, a data base is considered to be an organized set of machine-readable records containing bibliographic or document-related data. .X 18 4 127 121 1 127 124 1 127 125 2 127 127 9 127 129 4 127 145 4 127 190 1 127 191 1 127 197 1 127 211 1 127 214 1 127 218 1 127 243 1 127 307 1 127 330 1 127 357 1 127 363 1 127 376 2 127 378 1 127 432 1 127 450 1 127 451 1 127 452 1 127 459 4 127 460 1 127 461 1 127 468 1 127 471 1 127 484 1 127 492 1 127 508 1 127 511 1 127 512 1 127 514 1 127 518 1 127 520 1 127 523 1 127 524 2 127 525 2 127 526 1 127 527 1 127 529 2 127 530 2 127 534 2 127 546 1 127 553 1 127 579 1 127 580 1 127 594 1 127 603 1 127 604 1 127 606 1 127 609 1 127 610 1 127 611 1 127 612 1 127 622 1 127 625 1 127 626 1 127 630 1 127 633 1 127 635 1 127 636 2 127 637 2 127 642 3 127 643 1 127 644 1 127 645 1 127 646 1 127 648 1 127 649 1 127 650 2 127 692 1 127 696 1 127 699 1 127 702 1 127 703 2 127 705 1 127 708 2 127 726 1 127 727 1 127 728 1 127 730 2 127 731 1 127 732 2 127 733 2 127 734 2 127 736 3 127 737 2 127 738 2 127 739 2 127 740 1 127 741 2 127 742 1 127 743 1 127 744 1 127 755 1 127 820 1 127 826 2 127 827 2 127 877 1 127 879 2 127 883 1 127 1004 1 127 1035 1 127 1078 1 127 1089 1 127 1091 1 127 1143 2 127 1207 1 127 1227 1 127 1264 1 127 1297 1 127 1303 1 127 1306 1 127 1356 1 127 1364 1 127 1368 1 127 1370 2 127 1372 2 127 1373 1 127 1374 2 127 1375 1 127 1376 2 127 1377 1 127 1383 1 127 1396 3 127 1396 3 127 .I 128 .T Design and Evaluation of Information Systems .A Swanson, R.W. .W The co-joining of "design" with "evaluation" that is called for by this chapter posed organizational and inclusion-exclusion problems for the author. In part, "design" and "evaluation" prescribe two separate sets of activities, the former pertaining to the planning, development, and testing of new information system structures and modification of existing structures, the latter to appraisals and assessments of operational systems and system components. However, "design" includes not only the formulation of goals and objectives for systems but also provisions for evaluation in accordance with expectations. "Evaluation" applies to testing design concepts and to trying out preliminary implementations for the purpose of improving initial designs, as well as to the appraisal of operating systems. Appraisals at any stage of system operability may yield data that indicate the need for system modifications that require redesign and assessment. Thus, portions of "design" and "evaluation" are closely interrelated, as Katter demonstrated in his 1969 review. "Design" and "evaluation" may be examined methodologically or with respect to outcomes of the application of methodologies. Increasingly, designers and evaluators have been acknowledging the dependence of outcomes on sound procedural conceptualizations. The current literature discloses research on the processes of design and evaluation as well as on their products. .X 120 1 128 128 6 128 129 1 128 130 2 128 135 1 128 167 1 128 191 1 128 223 1 128 225 1 128 234 1 128 244 1 128 245 1 128 280 1 128 291 1 128 330 1 128 339 1 128 370 1 128 376 1 128 387 1 128 393 1 128 453 1 128 459 1 128 468 1 128 494 1 128 560 1 128 575 1 128 599 1 128 621 1 128 623 1 128 629 1 128 630 1 128 639 1 128 646 3 128 647 2 128 648 1 128 651 1 128 652 2 128 692 1 128 729 1 128 744 1 128 748 1 128 757 1 128 765 1 128 818 1 128 822 1 128 823 2 128 827 2 128 831 1 128 888 1 128 893 1 128 919 1 128 925 2 128 943 1 128 944 1 128 1003 1 128 1070 1 128 1085 1 128 1291 1 128 1315 1 128 1340 1 128 1374 1 128 1375 1 128 1376 2 128 1390 1 128 1401 1 128 1402 1 128 1403 1 128 1437 1 128 1445 1 128 1457 1 128 1457 1 128 .I 129 .T Generation and Uses of Machine-Readable Data Bases .A Schipma, P.B. .W This chapter continues the coverage of the generation and use of machine-readable data bases inaugurated in Volume 9 by Williams (178). It is therefore an update consisting primarily of 1974 material and is prepared in general accordance with Williams's initial compilation. The same definition of data bases and the boundaries of their applications used in Volume 9 are continued this year. A data base is considered to be an organized collection of machine-readable records containing bibliographic and/or document-related data (e.g., index information). The data bases that we will consider are used for information storage and retrieval and/or research in information storage and retrieval or data base generation. The choice of these constraints precludes coverage of several areas. First, data bases primarily concerned with numerical or other nonbibliographic information, such as chemical structures, (Milen et al., 112) are excluded. Thus, even though the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number is a data element common to many bibliographic data bases, papers such as that by CAS regarding progress in building the Registry System itself (39) are excluded. Similarly, though some textual and bibliographic material is included in the Systems Consultants, Inc report (156) to the Navy, most of the information retrieval is concerned with miniaturized hardware in a shipboard environment and thus is not considered within the scope of this chapter. Finally, though many of the data bases are used for generation of publications via phototypesetting, we are not considering that production operation. .X 18 2 129 20 1 129 42 1 129 60 1 129 85 1 129 121 1 129 124 1 129 125 2 129 127 4 129 128 1 129 129 6 129 130 1 129 145 2 129 167 1 129 172 1 129 190 1 129 191 1 129 197 1 129 211 1 129 214 1 129 218 1 129 223 1 129 225 1 129 234 1 129 243 1 129 280 1 129 307 1 129 330 1 129 363 1 129 376 1 129 378 1 129 393 1 129 432 1 129 450 1 129 451 1 129 452 1 129 459 2 129 460 1 129 461 1 129 468 2 129 469 1 129 484 1 129 492 1 129 494 1 129 508 1 129 511 1 129 512 1 129 514 1 129 518 1 129 520 1 129 523 1 129 524 1 129 525 1 129 526 1 129 529 1 129 530 1 129 534 1 129 546 1 129 553 1 129 579 1 129 580 1 129 585 1 129 594 1 129 599 1 129 603 1 129 604 1 129 606 1 129 609 1 129 610 1 129 611 1 129 612 1 129 622 1 129 625 1 129 626 1 129 630 1 129 636 1 129 637 1 129 639 1 129 640 1 129 642 2 129 643 1 129 644 1 129 645 1 129 646 2 129 647 1 129 648 1 129 649 1 129 650 2 129 651 1 129 652 1 129 665 1 129 692 1 129 696 1 129 699 1 129 703 1 129 705 1 129 708 2 129 726 1 129 727 1 129 728 1 129 730 1 129 731 1 129 732 1 129 733 1 129 734 1 129 736 2 129 737 1 129 738 2 129 739 2 129 740 1 129 741 2 129 742 1 129 743 1 129 744 1 129 755 1 129 762 1 129 765 1 129 803 1 129 818 1 129 820 1 129 822 1 129 823 1 129 826 1 129 827 2 129 879 1 129 883 1 129 925 1 129 943 1 129 944 1 129 1004 1 129 1022 1 129 1035 1 129 1045 1 129 1070 1 129 1078 1 129 1085 1 129 1089 1 129 1091 1 129 1143 2 129 1207 1 129 1264 1 129 1268 1 129 1297 1 129 1303 1 129 1356 1 129 1364 1 129 1368 1 129 1370 1 129 1372 1 129 1373 1 129 1374 3 129 1375 1 129 1376 2 129 1377 1 129 1390 1 129 1396 1 129 1401 1 129 1437 1 129 1437 1 129 .I 130 .T Cooperation in Information Activities Through International Organizations .A Adams, S. Werdel,J.A. .W International cooperation in the processing, sharing, and transfer of scientific and technical information takes many forms and can be accomplished through many agencies. This chapter proposes to review the role played by international organizations in stimulating and providing channels and mechanisms for such cooperation. The international organizations to be discussed are of two types: intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), in which member nations participate through their governments under formal treaties or agreements; and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) where, with some exceptions, participation is through national professional societies or nongovernmental institutions. The specialized agencies of the United Nations, including UNESCO, fall in the first category; organizations such as the International Federation for Documentation (FID) are in the second. .X 128 2 130 129 1 130 130 5 130 167 1 130 191 1 130 223 1 130 225 1 130 234 1 130 280 1 130 339 1 130 357 1 130 370 1 130 376 1 130 387 1 130 393 1 130 453 1 130 468 1 130 494 1 130 629 1 130 639 1 130 646 1 130 647 1 130 648 1 130 651 1 130 652 1 130 710 1 130 765 1 130 818 1 130 822 1 130 823 1 130 827 1 130 925 1 130 943 1 130 944 1 130 993 1 130 1070 1 130 1085 1 130 1374 1 130 1376 1 130 1390 1 130 1401 1 130 1403 1 130 1437 1 130 1457 1 130 1457 1 130 .I 131 .T Introduction to the ADI Annual Review .A Cuadra, C.A. .B 1966 .W Over the past 15 or 20 years, a new and growing field of inquiry has begun to take shape. This field, which will be referred to as "Information Science and Technology," draws on fragments and fringes of a number of sciences, technologies, disciplines, arts, and practices. The element that provides whatever degree of cohesiveness now exists in the field is a shared deep concern with "information" - its generation, transformation, communication, storage, retrieval, and use. Because of the universality of information processes, and also because of the variety of backgrounds of those concerned with them, there is very little agreement about the boundaries of Information Science and Technology, or about its parentage, its essential nature, or its future. To put it simply, at the present time there is no clearly defined and well-understood field of Information Science and Technology. There is not, truth to tell, even clear agreement on what the word "information" itself means and particularly on whether it implies a creative act of the intellect or a commodity that can be embodied in documents, transported, and exchanged. Distressing as this ambiguity and lack of agreement may be, they need not and do no preclude a constructive review of topics of current interest to users, designers, and students of information systems and services. The purpose of the ADI Annual Review series, initiated in this volume, is to provide such a review. .X 40 1 131 50 2 131 96 1 131 114 1 131 123 1 131 126 1 131 131 15 131 133 6 131 136 5 131 138 3 131 140 3 131 144 1 131 175 3 131 206 1 131 207 1 131 311 1 131 359 2 131 382 1 131 395 1 131 456 1 131 634 1 131 769 1 131 780 1 131 785 1 131 791 1 131 804 1 131 907 1 131 965 1 131 966 1 131 1019 1 131 1035 1 131 1037 1 131 1083 1 131 1255 1 131 1321 1 131 1327 1 131 1327 1 131 .I 132 .T Information Needs and Uses in Science and Technology .A Menzel, H. .W The way in which scientists and engineers make use of the information systems at their disposal, the demands that they put to them, the satisfaction achieved by their efforts, and the resultant impact on their further work are among the items of knowledge which are necessary for the wise planning of science information systems and policy. Besides, these matters can be of great significance to the behavioral scientist interested in human organization and communication. While "user studies" have not yet gone very far in serving either of these functions, the end of 1963 seems to have been something of a take-off point for empirical research on the information needs and uses of scientists and technologists. For this first volume of the Annual Review, we shall therefore cover studies that made their appearance as far back as the last month of 1963, to give the reader a rounded picture of a period during which this area of research has witnessed progress along the following lines: Substantial advances in the more systematic and fruitful application of a technique (critical incidents) that had made its appearance in this field earlier in less rigorous forms; The introduction of at least two very promising approaches (solution development records; comparison of research teams working on identical tasks) quite different from any that had been applied to this field before; and An increase in the number of efforts at comprehensive study of the information-flow situation in given disciplines, one of which [American Psychological Association (3)] has become the model and envy of research in this area. .X 2 1 132 14 1 132 41 1 132 76 1 132 132 9 132 137 5 132 139 2 132 147 1 132 152 1 132 155 1 132 161 1 132 183 1 132 195 1 132 202 1 132 203 1 132 204 1 132 210 1 132 237 1 132 272 1 132 274 1 132 276 1 132 475 1 132 552 1 132 655 1 132 760 1 132 767 1 132 771 1 132 772 2 132 774 1 132 775 1 132 783 1 132 788 1 132 789 1 132 952 1 132 965 1 132 977 1 132 1030 1 132 1055 1 132 1056 1 132 1095 1 132 1102 1 132 1111 1 132 1275 1 132 1280 1 132 1321 1 132 1445 1 132 1446 1 132 1447 1 132 1451 1 132 1451 1 132 .I 133 .T The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology .A Cuadra, C.A. .B 1967 .W This volume is the second in a series of Annual Reviews of progress in the field of Information Science and Technology. Like its predecessor, it attempts to describe, compare, and evaluate the most significant work that has been reported in the field during the past year. The effort has been undertaken in the belief that such taking stock of accomplishments provides a valuable service to the specialists in the information science field.

Three tasks will be undertaken: to outline in some detail the few substantive research projects involving testing and evaluation, to describe a number of research projects in areas cognate to testing and evaluation, and finally, to provide some general conclusions with respect to past and future activity. Although a distinction is made in this review between laboratory-based experimentation and tests of operational systems, the methodology used in each instance is substantially the same. As yet, no full-scale and elaborate field approach has been attempted. .X 28 1 134 73 2 134 133 1 134 134 6 134 146 1 134 382 1 134 390 3 134 458 1 134 474 1 134 565 2 134 566 1 134 752 1 134 780 2 134 785 3 134 1255 1 134 1282 1 134 1307 1 134 1422 1 134 1422 1 134 .I 135 .T Design of Information Systems and Services .A Borko, H. .W This review has selected for emphasis reports on concepts of systems analysis and on the procedures for applying these concepts to the design of information systems. Literature dealing with the automation of libraries and information centers has been explicitly excluded, while material on user studies, file organization, evaluation, etc., is only mentioned briefly since it is covered more thoroughly in other chapters. The selected, relevant, and available literature that has been published in the last year or so is organized into four groups as follows: 1. Articles that help define the process of systems analysis and the relationship to information science. 2. Articles that describe the concepts of systems analysis as applied to the analysis and design of information systems. 3. Articles primarily concerned with the design of document storage and retrieval systems. .X 61 1 135 67 1 135 70 1 135 71 1 135 72 1 135 73 1 135 120 2 135 128 1 135 135 5 135 137 1 135 175 1 135 206 1 135 207 1 135 208 1 135 244 1 135 245 1 135 291 1 135 382 1 135 458 1 135 459 1 135 481 1 135 483 1 135 485 1 135 537 1 135 575 1 135 599 1 135 621 1 135 630 1 135 692 1 135 779 1 135 780 1 135 925 1 135 981 1 135 982 1 135 1038 2 135 1358 2 135 1359 1 135 1402 2 135 1410 1 135 1417 1 135 1417 1 135 .I 136 .T The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology .A Cuadra, C.A. .B 1968 .W The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology is now in its third year. Like its two predecessors, this volume attempts to describe and evaluate the most significant work that has been reported in the field during the past year, with the ultimate aim of improving both our standards and our means of professional communication. The field of information science and technology continues to evolve and grow. As it does, new areas of interest emerge and established areas of interest change in importance. Accordingly, our pattern of coverage changes. The single chapter on Automation in Libraries and Information Centers, in Volume 2, has been expanded into two chapters, one covering automation of technical processes and the other covering document networks, and a new chapter has been added on information system applications in education. Such applications are important not just because they involve, in part, libraries and other information facilities but because they highlight innovative ideas and techniques that should be of value to anyone interested in the total communication process. At the same time, "core" chapters of the review are continued: information needs and uses; content analysis, specification, and control; file organization and search; publication and distribution techniques; automated language processing; man-machine communication; information system design and evaluation; and professional aspects of information science. These topics are of continuing and vital interest to our readers, and their annual literature is significant, large, and growing. .X 40 1 136 131 5 136 133 5 136 136 7 136 138 3 136 140 3 136 175 1 136 206 1 136 207 1 136 359 1 136 907 1 136 1083 1 136 1327 1 136 1327 1 136 .I 137 .T Information Needs and Uses .A Paisley, W.J. .W Information science meets behavioral science in the study of information needs and uses. At first, the meeting of these fields was inconclusive. Until the mid-1960's, there were only a few substantial studies of information needs and uses. Since about 1963, however, a significant literature has grown rapidly. There is evidence now of a productive entente between the fields. When information scientists see reliable, valid, and nontrivial data on users' behavior, they begin to use behavioral criteria in evaluating information system performance. When behavioral scientists glimpse the full complexity of dissemination, documentation, storage, and retrieval processes, they offer fewer naive solutions to "the information problem." This mutual education and accommodation will undoubtedly continue. Information science and behavioral science need each other. Big Science needs them both. .X 2 1 137 4 1 137 9 1 137 14 1 137 24 1 137 32 1 137 62 1 137 65 1 137 66 1 137 75 1 137 76 2 137 96 1 137 132 5 137 135 1 137 137 13 137 139 3 137 152 1 137 155 1 137 163 1 137 183 1 137 195 1 137 203 1 137 204 1 137 207 1 137 210 2 137 237 1 137 272 1 137 278 1 137 279 1 137 280 1 137 355 1 137 382 1 137 386 1 137 395 1 137 398 1 137 456 2 137 475 1 137 537 1 137 552 1 137 658 1 137 716 2 137 748 1 137 760 2 137 767 1 137 768 1 137 772 2 137 774 2 137 775 1 137 782 1 137 783 1 137 788 2 137 789 2 137 799 1 137 811 1 137 816 1 137 837 1 137 900 1 137 913 1 137 925 1 137 952 1 137 961 1 137 962 1 137 964 1 137 968 1 137 977 1 137 1030 1 137 1037 1 137 1038 1 137 1045 1 137 1050 1 137 1055 1 137 1056 1 137 1068 1 137 1083 1 137 1203 1 137 1254 1 137 1275 1 137 1280 1 137 1321 2 137 1361 1 137 1400 1 137 1404 1 137 1407 1 137 1445 1 137 1451 1 137 1451 1 137 .I 138 .T The Annual Review of Information Science and Technology .A Cuadra, C.A. .B 1969 .W This, the fourth volume of the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology, is both like and unlike its predecessors. The basic objective - to provide the most comprehensive and technically sound progress review ever prepared in the information science field - remains the same, as do the basic areas of interest and coverage. Too, the primary emphasis continues to be on published literature and reports, to permit the reader to identify, locate, and examine interesting and important sources of information about various aspects of our technical progress. Some new areas of growing importance are introduced this year. For the first time, a chapter on reprography and microfilm technology and one on the international aspects of information transfer have been included. Also, the topics of document dissemination and the secondary services, usually covered in parts of other chapters, have full and separate chapters this year. Another change, made in response to suggestions from readers for better signposts within each volume, is the division of the book into several major segments, each introduced by a short description of the contents of the section, the relationships among the chapters within it, and, in some instances, one or two highlights of the year's technical progress. .X 131 3 138 133 3 138 136 3 138 138 6 138 140 4 138 175 1 138 355 1 138 359 1 138 1083 1 138 1327 1 138 1327 1 138 .I 139 .T Information Needs and Uses .A Allen, T.J. .W Previous authors in this series, writing on this subject, have usually felt it necessary to begin with a statement concerning the state of the methodology of "user" studies. They have, for the most part, found it improved over the past, and this year is no exception in that regard. There remains, however, the tendency on the part of many who are untrained in social science methodology to assume that the art of questionnaire design and administration is a very simple one that anyone with intelligence can master in a single attempt. One never realizes how truly wrong this view is until he finds himself the author of a review chapter and is then confronted with the sort of trivia that many authors submit as research papers. .X 2 1 139 15 1 139 76 1 139 120 1 139 132 2 139 137 3 139 139 5 139 152 1 139 155 1 139 183 1 139 195 1 139 203 1 139 204 1 139 210 1 139 356 1 139 475 1 139 552 1 139 760 1 139 774 1 139 775 1 139 788 1 139 789 1 139 977 1 139 1050 1 139 1055 1 139 1056 1 139 1101 1 139 1178 1 139 1186 1 139 1187 1 139 1333 1 139 1451 1 139 1451 1 139 .I 140 .T Annual Review of Information Science and Technology .A Cuadra, C.A. .B 1970 .W The field of information science and technology continues to grow and, as it grows, to show new emphases and explore new areas of interest. Volume 5 reflects these changes. The increasing interest in and movement toward library networks and other cooperative, technology-supported information activities have helped to focus special attention not only on data processing and microfilm technology, the two traditional mainstays of library and document-handling systems, but also on the rapidly developing capabilities in modern tele-communications. Thus, a chapter on communication technology has appeared, for the first time, to bring readers up to date on changes in the communications industry that have had or will have a great impact on how we design and use information-handling systems. Two other first-time chapters cover management information systems and information systems in state and local government. While the intent behind the development of such systems, and the kinds of services they provide, is peripheral to the purposes and services of library and document-handling systems, one often sees in these peripheral areas some information parallels. Indeed, one of the reasons for the Annual Review's covering one or more of these areas each year is to help its readers exploit more fully the thinking and the problem-solving techniques they are fostering. .X 131 3 140 133 3 140 136 3 140 138 4 140 140 7 140 175 1 140 359 1 140 1053 1 140 1083 1 140 1327 1 140 1426 1 140 1426 1 140 .I 141 .T Application of Computer Technology to Library Process: a syllabus .A Becker, J. .W The application of computer technology to library and network processes and services is not an end in itself, but rather a means of narrowing the gap between the demand for library services and the ability of libraries to provide those services. Libraries have assumed the active role of serving the informational, educational and recreational needs of the population. The size of that population grows constantly, its educational level keeps climbing, and its percentage of leisure time is increasing. The application of computer technology to libraries, especially to the manipulation of bibliographic records in the performance of library functions, is a complex process and demands the highest level of talent of both the library and computer professions for its accomplishment. It cannot be accomplished by either profession alone; rather, the design of a library system is a team effort between librarians, computer system analysts, and programmers. Even a limited effort demands careful long-term planning if it is to fit with later efforts into a cohesive whole. The smallest project will affect nearly all operations of the library. For these reasons it is necessary that all library staff have at least a general overview of what library automation is all about. .X 141 7 141 244 1 141 299 2 141 333 1 141 363 1 141 365 1 141 409 1 141 522 1 141 529 1 141 530 1 141 627 1 141 628 1 141 630 1 141 645 1 141 647 1 141 651 1 141 739 1 141 822 1 141 854 1 141 871 1 141 872 1 141 873 2 141 874 2 141 875 2 141 876 2 141 877 1 141 878 1 141 879 1 141 880 1 141 881 1 141 882 1 141 883 1 141 884 1 141 885 1 141 886 1 141 887 1 141 892 2 141 917 1 141 940 1 141 941 2 141 990 1 141 994 2 141 995 1 141 996 1 141 997 2 141 998 2 141 999 1 141 1000 1 141 1001 1 141 1002 1 141 1003 1 141 1004 1 141 1079 2 141 1143 1 141 1153 1 141 1189 1 141 1230 1 141 1251 1 141 1257 1 141 1303 1 141 1351 1 141 1375 1 141 1376 1 141 1396 2 141 1420 1 141 1434 1 141 1435 2 141 1436 1 141 1442 1 141 1442 1 141 .I 142 .T Archives and Library Relations .A Clark, R.C. .W A distinct characteristic of man is the need to communicate and record knowledge. The tools of communication have ranged from clay to satellites. Civilized societies have taken great pains to place recorded knowledge in safe places and create archives and libraries for this purpose. The importance of recorded knowledge for survival and progress is constantly being elevated as more and more information is presented. Without information and its necessary control, a society is not only stagnant, but regressive. With social memory, preserved and controlled by archives and libraries, a society is able to evolve to whatever future it is destined to experience in an ever-changing environment. Archives were the forerunners of libraries. The ancient archives contained the best of society's accumulated knowledge; and as nations grew in wealth and security, archives and libraries become symbols of a country's aspiration to create a better society. Today, archives and libraries are necessities. These cultural institutions pass information to succeeding generations in a variety of forms of distributable media. In this way, archives and libraries preserve the memory of civilization and pass this memory on to living individuals. The materials in these institutions contain the written and graphic record of social memory and human heritage and provide society with information on which to base actions, develop policies, ascertain rights, educate, and entertain. .X 142 5 142 1064 1 142 1064 1 142 .I 143 .T The Area Specialist Bibliographer: an inquiry into his role .A Stuart, R.D. .W It is the intent of this volume to develop a model designed to eliminate present difficulties and ambiguities and to improve administrative procedures for future development of area programs. This will be accomplished by giving some indication of the climate of opinion toward area specialist bibliographers and by isolating factors which influence these opinions. These attitudes will be presented by the perceptions of area bibliographers toward their role and the expectations of faculty and library administrators toward that role. The bibliographer's academic, professional, and educational experience will be examined in this framework. .X 11 1 143 143 5 143 268 1 143 305 1 143 1020 1 143 1021 1 143 1058 1 143 1058 1 143 .I 144 .T The Art of Computer Programming .A Knuth, D.E. .W The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive because it not only can be economically and scientifically rewarding, it can also be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music.

Many recipients of the 1972 document have requested updated information. Accordingly, the ASIDIC Cooperative Data Management Committee initiated a new survey. The questionnaires were mailed out in January of 1975 and responses came in throughout the year. Questionnaires were sent to all member organizations of ASIDIC and EUSIDIC. Questionnaires were also sent to individual members of ASIS SIG/SDI and SIG/UOI. Responses received throughout 1975 were checked and tabulated in 1976. Because of the time delay in producing the final compilation the reader is warned against using this survey as an up-to-date source for information as to which centers are processing which data bases. Of the 116 responding organizations 75 process data bases and 41 use data base services either as end users or as brokers. Of the 75 that process data bases (i.e., spin tapes) 51 (68%) are members of ASIDIC and/or EUSIDIC. This survey provides representative data for data base processing organizations. The use of online search services was relatively new in 1974 hence data regarding online users would not be representative of the 1976 online situation. .X 10 1 145 18 5 145 121 1 145 125 2 145 127 4 145 129 2 145 145 10 145 211 2 145 357 1 145 376 3 145 378 1 145 382 1 145 400 1 145 440 1 145 452 2 145 453 1 145 459 3 145 467 1 145 468 1 145 495 1 145 506 1 145 508 1 145 511 1 145 512 1 145 514 1 145 517 1 145 520 1 145 521 1 145 523 1 145 524 2 145 525 1 145 526 1 145 527 1 145 528 1 145 529 1 145 530 1 145 534 1 145 546 1 145 576 1 145 580 1 145 594 1 145 604 1 145 609 1 145 612 1 145 619 1 145 622 1 145 623 1 145 629 1 145 631 1 145 632 1 145 633 2 145 635 1 145 636 1 145 637 1 145 642 1 145 699 1 145 700 1 145 702 1 145 703 1 145 705 1 145 707 1 145 723 1 145 726 1 145 727 1 145 728 1 145 729 1 145 730 3 145 731 1 145 732 1 145 733 1 145 734 1 145 736 1 145 754 1 145 812 1 145 813 1 145 814 1 145 820 1 145 822 1 145 826 1 145 827 1 145 866 1 145 870 1 145 873 1 145 877 1 145 879 1 145 942 1 145 1051 1 145 1078 1 145 1089 1 145 1091 1 145 1143 3 145 1227 1 145 1264 1 145 1302 2 145 1303 2 145 1366 1 145 1367 1 145 1368 2 145 1370 1 145 1372 1 145 1383 1 145 1390 1 145 1396 5 145 1396 5 145 .I 146 .T The Testing of Index Language Devices .A Cleverdon, C.W.

Some of these have been concerned with the people in individual organizations, but have implications elsewhere. Others, including Aslib's own investigations, have had wider aims. Some have been based upon observations and records of what the scientists and engineers themselves did or said, and some upon records of the demands they made upon libraries. There have been both surveys of opinions, and collections of facts. .X 41 1 147 132 1 147 147 8 147 157 1 147 161 1 147 210 1 147 245 1 147 355 1 147 356 1 147 560 1 147 614 1 147 763 1 147 772 1 147 788 1 147 792 1 147 889 1 147 965 1 147 986 1 147 1050 1 147 1151 1 147 1238 1 147 1254 1 147 1291 1 147 1404 2 147 1404 2 147 .I 148 .T Fair (Fast Access Information Retrieval) Project; Aims and Methods .A Pickford, A.G.A. .W I am going to describe in general terms a research project which has been established to explore some of the problems of the use of the literature, particularly in the field of Biomedical Engineering of the National Institute for Medical Research (Hampstead Laboratories).

Hunter, P.S. Simkins, M.A. .W During the past year we have been one of the organizations participating in the Chemical Society's experiment on the use of routine computer searches of Chemical Titles (CT) and Chemical- Biological Activities (CBAC) for current awareness. For some time we have also been subscribing to the Automatic Subject Citation Alert (ASCA), which is produced by the Institute for Scientific Information as a by-product of the Science Citation Index. These three sources differ in their scope and methods, but share the same ultimate objective of providing a computer-based current awareness service. CT covers journals in all branches of chemistry, but provides only authors and titles, the latter translated into American and edited by breaking down complex words so that word fragments can be retrieved. CBAC covers only papers on the interaction of chemical compounds with biological systems, but provides abstracts which are available for computer search. The computer can also search for molecular formulae and for Chemical Abstracts registry numbers of all compounds included in the abstracts. ASCA in its original form was based on citations: the search profile can consist of a list of references to older work, and the output is then a list of new papers citing this work. Last spring ASCA introduced a 'term search', which is a search for words in the titles of current papers and is therefore analogous to a CT search. This paper discusses and compares the results we have obtained so far with these three services, and the potential use of systems of this type. .X 38 2 150 40 1 150 52 2 150 53 1 150 54 1 150 150 9 150 319 1 150 347 1 150 371 1 150 429 1 150 465 2 150 480 1 150 510 2 150 582 2 150 589 4 150 603 3 150 660 2 150 662 1 150 681 1 150 682 1 150 704 1 150 711 1 150 714 1 150 716 1 150 717 1 150 722 2 150 726 1 150 782 1 150 807 1 150 810 1 150 813 1 150 820 1 150 830 1 150 1089 1 150 1144 1 150 1151 1 150 1195 3 150 1281 1 150 1421 1 150 1448 1 150 1448 1 150 .I 151 .T Thesaurus Compilation Methods: A Literature Review .A Blagden, J.F. .W This review has been sponsored by the Office for Scientific and Technical Information and the end product of the complete research will be a thesaurus of management terms. Parallel research in the business management area and also supported by OSTI is being conducted by David Dews, Librarian of the Manchester Business School, and K.D.C. Vernon, Librarian of the London Graduate School of Business Studies. As Mr. Vernon is at present engaged in the construction of a faceted classification scheme for management, this investigation has concentrated on the possibility of utilizing faceted techniques to construct such a thesaurus. A study of existing information retrieval systems in the management field has already been made, so a decision to adopt some form of post-co-ordinate indexing was assumed. Thus a comparative study of other systems will not be attempted. A decision has also already been made that a controlled vocabulary, i.e. a thesaurus, was eventually going to be developed despite the latest Cranfield results that appear to provide evidence of the superiority of natural language over controlled vocabularies. This was primarily because these results were restricted to tests on an aeronautical collection, and it may well be that the natural language of this discipline is in itself a fairly controlled one, which is certainly not the case with the rather 'soft' language of management. This is borne out to some extent by Halkin, who quotes relevance figures for coordinate indexing applied to organic chemistry (55 percent), engineering (35 percent), and social science (20 per cent). Machine methods of term generation as described by Ovchinnikov, Mastermann and Luhn will not be considered, as there is no equipment available to prepare thesauri on the lines these authors suggest. .X 148 1 151 151 6 151 454 1 151 477 1 151 501 2 151 504 3 151 653 1 151 773 1 151 781 1 151 798 2 151 802 1 151 1118 2 151 1122 1 151 1123 1 151 1133 1 151 1141 1 151 1163 1 151 1175 1 151 1226 1 151 1226 1 151 .I 152 .T Organizational Aspects of Information Flow in Technology .A Allen, T.J. .W For about five years now a small group of us at MIT have been conducting a series of investigations into the information needs of technologists, the manner in which these needs are presently met, the relation between various ways of fulfilling information needs and technological performance, and the nature of factors which determine the ways in which information needs will be fulfilled. .X 2 2 152 13 1 152 15 1 152 42 1 152 66 1 152 76 1 152 96 1 152 132 1 152 137 1 152 139 1 152 152 13 152 155 1 152 158 1 152 183 1 152 195 1 152 203 1 152 204 1 152 210 1 152 313 1 152 447 1 152 449 1 152 475 2 152 526 1 152 552 1 152 574 1 152 625 1 152 658 1 152 664 1 152 714 1 152 760 1 152 761 1 152 774 1 152 775 1 152 783 1 152 788 1 152 789 1 152 801 1 152 803 1 152 837 1 152 839 1 152 841 1 152 879 1 152 907 2 152 925 1 152 942 1 152 968 1 152 977 1 152 1055 1 152 1056 1 152 1285 1 152 1317 1 152 1319 1 152 1386 1 152 1394 1 152 1407 1 152 1451 1 152 1451 1 152 .I 153 .T Criteria for Evaluating Technical Library Effectiveness .A Wessel, C.J. .W In July 1966 John I. Thompson & Company accepted a contract with the Picatinny Arsenal, US Department of the Army, to perform a study aimed at developing 'Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of library operations and services' under the ATLIS Program (Army Technical Library Improvement Studies). The study was divided into three phases aimed at: I A Literature search to reflect the current 'state-of-the art' covering library standards and the methods of evaluating libraries developed up to the present. II A phase in which to gather and evaluate any data required from Army Technical Libraries, from available surveys already published, or from any other sources, by which to develop criteria. III A phase in which to establish and validate the criteria. Phases I and II of the study are now complete. Phase III is in progress and is expected to be completed by the late fall of 1968. The reports of Phases I and II are already available for detailed study and that of Phase III will be available soon. The purpose of this paper is to present some of the findings of the study. .X 14 1 153 71 1 153 72 1 153 73 1 153 74 1 153 75 1 153 77 1 153 78 1 153 79 1 153 81 1 153 82 1 153 83 2 153 86 1 153 153 6 153 156 1 153 170 1 153 206 1 153 207 1 153 211 1 153 212 1 153 223 1 153 245 2 153 266 1 153 271 1 153 277 1 153 279 1 153 280 1 153 458 1 153 486 1 153 550 1 153 591 1 153 720 1 153 748 1 153 779 2 153 785 1 153 786 1 153 787 1 153 788 1 153 789 1 153 791 1 153 792 1 153 841 1 153 842 1 153 925 1 153 984 1 153 1019 1 153 1028 1 153 1086 1 153 1090 1 153 1317 2 153 1424 1 153 1424 1 153 .I 154 .T The UDC in its International Aspects .A Lloyd, G.A. .W Universal Decimal Classification - dying duck or live bird? - or some such title - was suggested to me, but this is highly debatable, and there will hardly be time for the duck-shooters to develop a concerted onslaught in the half-hour or so allowed us for discussion. Besides, I hope to be able to convince you - if the BSI's fine efforts have not already done so - that the UDC is by no means the dying duck - certainly not the dead duck - that some of its severest critics seem to imagine. Perhaps the bird has ceased to soar as it once did in the times of Otlet, La Fontaine, Bradford and Donker Duyvis, but that it is still viable in the turbulent air of current documentation may be gauged from a recent FID inquiry aimed at obtaining figures for the distribution of UDC editions and an approximate estimate of the number of users throughout the world. .X 16 1 154 30 1 154 71 1 154 75 2 154 77 1 154 78 1 154 79 1 154 80 1 154 81 1 154 82 1 154 83 1 154 114 1 154 154 6 154 194 1 154 212 2 154 247 1 154 257 1 154 260 1 154 458 1 154 476 1 154 477 1 154 581 1 154 627 1 154 666 1 154 770 1 154 796 2 154 802 2 154 838 4 154 853 1 154 898 1 154 989 1 154 1066 1 154 1074 2 154 1075 2 154 1231 1 154 1255 1 154 1391 2 154 1392 1 154 1393 1 154 1394 1 154 1402 2 154 1429 3 154 1430 3 154 1431 3 154 1448 1 154 1448 1 154 .I 155 .T Subject Relations in Science/Technology Literature .A Earle, P.

Citation is only an indicator of use, not an accurate measure, and like all such indicators has defects. Differences between indicators have been discussed elsewhere. Despite these defects, an examination of citations does enable one to sample acts of literature use within a large community. The study reported here was directed, in fact, to all United Kingdom authors of science/ technology publications in a given year, and because of its width, and the type of analysis performed, is considered to be worth reporting. The study was primarily undertaken to obtain comparable information about social science literature, and this has been reported elsewhere. .X 2 1 155 33 2 155 76 1 155 89 1 155 105 1 155 107 1 155 110 1 155 111 1 155 132 1 155 137 1 155 139 1 155 152 1 155 155 6 155 157 1 155 161 1 155 183 1 155 195 1 155 203 1 155 204 1 155 210 1 155 314 1 155 356 1 155 475 1 155 544 1 155 552 1 155 560 1 155 582 1 155 587 1 155 618 1 155 656 1 155 685 1 155 760 1 155 774 1 155 775 2 155 788 2 155 789 1 155 793 1 155 794 1 155 800 1 155 808 1 155 977 1 155 1030 1 155 1050 1 155 1055 1 155 1056 1 155 1062 1 155 1256 1 155 1273 1 155 1284 1 155 1285 2 155 1287 1 155 1290 1 155 1291 1 155 1293 1 155 1294 1 155 1295 1 155 1296 1 155 1297 1 155 1308 1 155 1319 1 155 1338 1 155 1346 1 155 1386 1 155 1451 1 155 1451 1 155 .I 156 .T Letter to the Editor: Assessment of Information Services .A Davison, P.s. .W May we please raise four questions which are important at the present time when government policy on information retrieval is being considered? These arise from results recently produced by SDC which are germane to Dr. Somerfield's paper on 'Computer-based Information Services' (Aslib Proceedings, 20, 12, 542-50 (1968)), and to OSTI's work in this field. The SDC is making comparisons of the efficiency of various published indexes and other sources of scientific information and the first results of rigorously checked comparisons are becoming available for a case study on the subject of 'Computers Related to Mass Spectrometry'. This results from an extensive literature search prepared by combining and collating results of searches in twelve of the world's major indexes to chemistry and spectroscopy, including searches of SDC's own data bank files. Nearly two hundred unique references on 'Computers Related to Mass Spectrometry' were found and are being checked individually for relevance going back to the original paper or asking expert opinion where necessary. .X 65 1 156 71 1 156 72 1 156 73 1 156 74 1 156 75 2 156 76 1 156 77 1 156 78 1 156 79 1 156 81 1 156 82 1 156 83 1 156 86 2 156 153 1 156 156 5 156 211 1 156 212 1 156 213 1 156 214 1 156 245 1 156 277 1 156 279 1 156 280 1 156 382 1 156 486 1 156 495 1 156 720 1 156 748 1 156 779 1 156 785 1 156 786 1 156 787 1 156 788 1 156 789 1 156 790 1 156 791 1 156 925 1 156 984 1 156 1055 1 156 1083 1 156 1086 1 156 1195 1 156 1295 1 156 1297 1 156 1297 1 156 .I 157 .T On the Design of Information Systems for Human Beings .A Line, M.B. .W Planning of any kind can be motivated by a pressing practical problem which has to be solved - for example, an increasing number of people may have to be housed in the same area; or by a long-term idealistic vision; or by both (the idealist seeing the long-term implications of an immediate problem). In short-term planning, the danger exists that the more technical problems may be solved, without attention to their implications for human beings; to take my housing example, higher and higher flats may be built, without considering the possible effects (e.g. the effect on social groupings). In long-term planning, Utopian or ideological blueprints may be produced. .X 28 1 157 89 1 157 105 1 157 110 1 157 147 1 157 155 1 157 157 7 157 314 1 157 356 1 157 381 1 157 389 1 157 468 1 157 475 1 157 514 1 157 518 1 157 544 1 157 560 1 157 582 1 157 595 1 157 615 1 157 646 1 157 656 2 157 658 1 157 685 1 157 752 1 157 785 1 157 820 1 157 822 1 157 827 1 157 829 1 157 895 1 157 1030 1 157 1050 1 157 1062 1 157 1091 1 157 1256 1 157 1282 1 157 1284 1 157 1285 1 157 1290 1 157 1291 1 157 1293 1 157 1294 1 157 1295 1 157 1296 1 157 1297 1 157 1319 1 157 1346 1 157 1361 1 157 1386 1 157 1386 1 157 .I 158 .T Standard Costing for Information Systems: Background to a Current Study .A Robertson, S.E. Reynolds, R. Wilkin, A.P. .W For some time past, interest has been developing within the Aslib Research Department in the problems of establishing standard costs for information systems. A literature search recently conducted by the Department (R. Reynolds) has revealed a scarcity of usable information on this subject: such data as is available is difficult to evaluate comparatively because of the differing definitions of the operations costed and of the terms used to describe them. It would seem, therefore, that a first step towards developing a costing method of widespread application would be the establishment of standard conventions for the analysis of information systems. One might postulate two possible ways of arriving at comparative costs for these systems, namely: (a) General survey method: The overall costs of a large number of information systems are broken down into a small number of categories, and analysed for correlation (see, for example, C.J. Wessel et al). (b) In-depth study: A small number of systems are studied in detail in an attempt to establish the true sources of the costs and factors affecting them. In a current project, we are attempting to apply method (b) to the production of current-awareness bulletins. An outline of some of the preliminary work in this project follows. .X 2 1 158 5 1 158 27 1 158 74 1 158 83 1 158 90 1 158 91 1 158 152 1 158 158 8 158 222 1 158 223 1 158 249 1 158 292 1 158 368 1 158 435 1 158 490 1 158 491 1 158 492 1 158 495 1 158 496 1 158 497 1 158 500 1 158 584 1 158 591 1 158 615 1 158 770 1 158 776 1 158 815 2 158 823 1 158 841 3 158 842 1 158 925 1 158 948 1 158 957 1 158 1023 1 158 1219 1 158 1227 1 158 1242 1 158 1317 1 158 1365 1 158 1390 1 158 1401 1 158 1414 1 158 1414 1 158 .I 159 .T An Information Retrieval Language for MARC .A Austin, D. .W I see from the programme that I am supposed to talk on an information language for MARC, and it is true that the work I have been doing for the past year or so has been under the auspices of the MARC Project. But the subject indexing system we have developed is concerned as much with BNB's plans for computer production from 1971 as with the MARC tapes as such, and I hope to show that we have also gone some way towards developing a compatible general system with even wider application. Before coming to this, however, it is necessary to describe briefly some of the day to day pressures of work which caused BNB to look to the computer for help. From this we can see how the computer forced us to reconsider our whole approach to subject indexing. .X 159 5 159 178 1 159 257 1 159 260 1 159 348 1 159 429 1 159 489 1 159 493 1 159 498 1 159 501 1 159 582 1 159 583 2 159 585 1 159 653 1 159 655 2 159 688 1 159 796 1 159 797 2 159 798 2 159 799 1 159 801 1 159 802 1 159 838 1 159 852 1 159 854 1 159 857 1 159 858 2 159 859 2 159 861 2 159 970 1 159 1043 1 159 1252 1 159 1268 1 159 1395 1 159 1405 1 159 1405 1 159 .I 160 .T Analysis and Organization of Knowledge for Retrieval .A Farradane, J.E.L. .W In a university, the mode of research is usually what is called 'pure' or 'basic' research; since I am keeping in mind primarily the applications of information science, I will prefer the word 'basic', although there is not so much difference. In such research, and really in any good research, one should not be collecting data haphazardly. One must isolate and define a problem and, as far as possible, control other conditions so that interfering factors are eliminated. Preferably one will narrow down the problem to manageable proportions. It is then essential to approach the problem with some sort of hypothesis or theory of the situation, and to concentrate on obtaining evidence for or against that hypothesis. The important task is to devise just that crucial experiment which will give the answer as efficiently as possible. If the answer disproves the hypothesis, one has at least further evidence upon which to construct a different hypothesis; if it confirms the hypothesis, one is ready for a further step forward, and so on. Research is easier in a fully controlled and reproducible situation; in a biological or human situation one must often have recourse to statistical methods, but this does not alter the general methodology. On the whole, I find a clear methodology lacking in much that is being done in the field of information science today. .X 72 1 160 160 6 160 168 1 160 257 1 160 258 1 160 477 1 160 478 2 160 516 3 160 558 2 160 572 1 160 600 1 160 628 1 160 653 1 160 746 2 160 758 1 160 781 1 160 795 1 160 817 1 160 825 1 160 901 1 160 1202 1 160 1215 1 160 1218 1 160 1230 1 160 1394 1 160 1422 1 160 1448 1 160 1448 1 160 .I 161 .T User Studies: A Review of the Literature from 1966 to 1970 .A Wood, D.N. .W My terms of reference when asked to prepare this review of user studies were to bring Fishenden's work up to date. This was published in the Journal of Documentation in September 1965 and in his paper he looks at a limited number of British use studies and draws some broad general conclusions relating to the development of a national information service. The present paper which covers the literature back to the beginning of 1966 is somewhat more detailed. It considers a wide range of investigations into the information gathering habits of scientists, engineers, social scientists and others, and reports results which it is hoped will provide managers with information on which to develop policies regarding library and information services at all levels. Although an increasing number of studies is being carried out in Eastern Europe and in the USSR there has been no major work reported and consequently the review considers mainly British and American investigations. .X 33 1 161 36 1 161 76 1 161 90 1 161 95 1 161 104 1 161 105 1 161 110 1 161 111 1 161 113 1 161 132 1 161 147 1 161 155 1 161 161 15 161 163 2 161 183 1 161 184 1 161 193 1 161 197 1 161 199 1 161 201 1 161 202 1 161 203 1 161 204 1 161 205 1 161 209 1 161 212 1 161 217 1 161 220 1 161 222 1 161 243 1 161 284 1 161 286 1 161 294 1 161 295 1 161 300 1 161 356 1 161 358 1 161 375 1 161 433 1 161 445 1 161 454 1 161 470 1 161 472 1 161 503 1 161 506 1 161 507 1 161 543 1 161 545 1 161 554 1 161 560 2 161 579 1 161 582 1 161 584 1 161 588 1 161 589 1 161 591 1 161 592 1 161 593 1 161 594 1 161 595 1 161 596 1 161 597 1 161 599 1 161 600 1 161 602 1 161 603 1 161 604 1 161 606 1 161 607 1 161 613 1 161 614 1 161 618 1 161 624 3 161 631 1 161 655 1 161 723 1 161 724 1 161 760 1 161 771 1 161 772 2 161 799 1 161 800 1 161 801 1 161 805 1 161 806 1 161 808 1 161 836 1 161 866 1 161 867 1 161 889 1 161 900 1 161 936 1 161 937 1 161 946 1 161 956 1 161 959 1 161 989 1 161 1030 1 161 1056 1 161 1084 1 161 1095 1 161 1102 2 161 1107 1 161 1111 1 161 1151 1 161 1222 1 161 1287 1 161 1293 1 161 1296 1 161 1297 1 161 1298 2 161 1299 1 161 1300 1 161 1327 1 161 1346 1 161 1347 1 161 1353 1 161 1361 1 161 1373 2 161 1404 1 161 1405 1 161 1446 1 161 1447 1 161 1447 1 161 .I 162 .T Library and Information Science Abstracts: The First Two Years .A Gilcrist, A.

There are a number of possible reasons for this. Social scientists, faced with a much smaller total volume of information, were much less information-conscious and less inclined to seek for solutions. There are very few specialist libraries in the social sciences, and few librarians were therefore confronted with social scientists' information needs in the same way as librarians in scientific libraries were confronted with users and their problems. Finally, until OSTI came along there was little in the way of funds to support this kind of research. This almost total absence of previous research had its disadvantages and advantages. There were very few clues to guide us, and we were therefore working to a certain extent in the dark. On the other hand, we had a clean and open field uncorrupted by confusing and non-comparable studies. There is something to be said for being one of the first in a field. .X 4 1 163 9 1 163 32 1 163 33 1 163 36 1 163 41 1 163 89 1 163 96 1 163 97 1 163 102 1 163 105 1 163 111 2 163 112 1 163 113 1 163 137 1 163 161 2 163 163 6 163 183 1 163 184 1 163 193 1 163 199 1 163 203 1 163 207 1 163 210 1 163 225 1 163 243 1 163 269 1 163 311 1 163 356 1 163 373 1 163 386 1 163 398 1 163 456 1 163 545 2 163 552 1 163 560 2 163 587 1 163 592 1 163 602 1 163 605 1 163 607 1 163 613 1 163 614 1 163 638 1 163 735 1 163 747 1 163 750 1 163 753 1 163 766 1 163 767 1 163 768 1 163 774 1 163 775 1 163 782 1 163 783 1 163 784 1 163 788 1 163 789 1 163 793 1 163 799 1 163 800 1 163 808 1 163 811 1 163 816 1 163 905 1 163 913 1 163 953 1 163 961 1 163 962 1 163 964 1 163 968 1 163 977 1 163 983 1 163 1016 1 163 1023 1 163 1030 2 163 1055 1 163 1068 1 163 1087 1 163 1090 1 163 1135 1 163 1203 1 163 1260 1 163 1270 1 163 1275 1 163 1276 1 163 1278 1 163 1280 1 163 1285 1 163 1286 1 163 1287 1 163 1293 1 163 1296 1 163 1298 1 163 1302 1 163 1321 1 163 1335 1 163 1346 1 163 1347 1 163 1390 1 163 1397 1 163 1407 1 163 1417 1 163 1428 1 163 1432 1 163 1445 1 163 1445 1 163 .I 164 .T SDI: Some Economic and Organizational Aspects .A Dammers, H.F. .W In the context of the present symposium it would seem appropriate that I should deal specifically with the economic aspects of Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) operation and use. In my opinion the technical feasibility and merits of SDI have been adequately demonstrated; the main barriers hindering general use, however, tend to be of an economic nature. At Shell Research in Sittingbourne we have been operating, since 1967, an SDI service for the research staff and it has grown rapidly, particularly since we started to use the CA Condensates tapes early in 1969. In addition to these tapes we are currently using the BA Previews tapes, AGDOC tapes (prepared by ourselves using punched card input received from Derwent) and, on an experimental basis, Toxitapes, produced by BIOSIS, Philadelphia. All these tapes are searched locally, involving the running of around five hundred profiles weekly. .X 18 1 164 34 1 164 49 1 164 53 1 164 59 2 164 164 6 164 172 1 164 178 1 164 202 1 164 213 1 164 224 2 164 243 1 164 274 1 164 374 1 164 401 1 164 419 1 164 421 1 164 465 1 164 466 1 164 467 2 164 481 1 164 490 2 164 491 3 164 506 2 164 507 2 164 510 1 164 512 2 164 520 1 164 523 1 164 591 2 164 595 1 164 603 1 164 604 1 164 609 2 164 622 1 164 623 2 164 629 1 164 633 1 164 639 1 164 659 1 164 676 1 164 687 1 164 711 1 164 714 1 164 722 1 164 723 1 164 726 1 164 728 1 164 730 1 164 731 1 164 732 1 164 809 2 164 810 1 164 813 2 164 814 2 164 820 1 164 822 2 164 828 1 164 870 1 164 879 1 164 907 1 164 1084 1 164 1089 1 164 1091 1 164 1283 1 164 1298 3 164 1299 1 164 1363 1 164 1366 1 164 1367 1 164 1368 1 164 1396 2 164 1396 2 164 .I 165 .T The Theoretical Foundation of the IDC-system: Six Postulates for Information Retrieval .A Fugmann, Robert .W Successful delegated searching for publications relevant to the topic of an inquirer obeys rules whose relations to thermodynamics are unmistakable. By the continuous growth of a documentation system in the physical and conceptual respect, steadily increasing demands are made on the degree of order which prevails in the system or can be established at the specific request of an inquirer. If the order in a system cannot keep pace with the increasing requirements, its working capability will continuously decrease, because the searcher is becoming more and more overburdened in relation to his available search time, search patience, and search memory. The degree of order attainable in a growing literature collection can be estimated on the basis of six postulates. The better the requirements imposed by these postulates are approximated in a practical documentation system, the higher are its working capability and life expectancy, but the expenditure to be made on the literature analyses must also inevitably be higher. The establishment of these postulates originated from practical experience with the IDC-system and its precursors. These postulates form the basis of this system and of its further development. .X 29 1 165 58 1 165 117 1 165 124 1 165 125 1 165 165 7 165 252 1 165 254 1 165 347 1 165 381 1 165 445 2 165 448 1 165 451 1 165 452 1 165 476 1 165 484 1 165 511 1 165 516 1 165 518 1 165 521 1 165 522 1 165 523 1 165 525 2 165 526 1 165 527 1 165 528 1 165 529 1 165 530 1 165 575 1 165 590 2 165 609 1 165 610 1 165 615 1 165 621 3 165 625 1 165 626 1 165 636 1 165 641 3 165 656 1 165 668 1 165 670 1 165 671 2 165 673 1 165 674 1 165 683 2 165 687 1 165 689 3 165 700 1 165 705 1 165 707 1 165 714 1 165 715 1 165 727 1 165 754 1 165 762 1 165 797 1 165 812 1 165 814 1 165 817 1 165 819 1 165 824 1 165 875 1 165 898 1 165 901 1 165 1077 3 165 1089 1 165 1231 4 165 1303 1 165 1327 1 165 1364 1 165 1366 1 165 1367 1 165 1368 1 165 1404 1 165 1452 1 165 1452 1 165 .I 166 .T The Future of Scientific and Technological Publications .A Smailes, A.A. .W I am sure you do not need reminding of the flood of scientific information that is available today and the estimates of its growth in the next two decades. In 1967, Olaf Helmer, then Senior Mathematician at the Rand corporation, forecast that scientists and engineers would increase from five million, in 1967, to twenty-five million by the year 2000 and their total productivity would go up by a factor of ten. He declined to assess the associated growth of, and need for, scientific information but merely stated that there would be substantial changes in the way in which science would actually be transacted. It is these 'substantial changes' that concern the publisher, editor, information scientist and librarian, because if we do not anticipate - or at least keep pace with these changes - then we will not be able to meet the information needs of our readers and we will become redundant. Scientific information is a growing industry and it would be ironic if we could not survive amid an abundance of information. I regard the chance to do something about the flow of information as a response to opportunity, not as an act of desperation. The big problem is to sort out what is pertinent among this information and, in this world of rapid change, select and develop the technological devices that will match the needs of the scientist to this mass of information. .X 37 1 166 63 1 166 166 5 166 491 1 166 496 1 166 582 1 166 657 1 166 690 1 166 760 1 166 907 1 166 1012 1 166 1111 1 166 1115 2 166 1293 1 166 1295 1 166 1296 1 166 1446 1 166 1447 1 166 1447 1 166 .I 167 .T Rationalization of Serial Holdings in Special Libraries .A Houghton, B. .A Prosser, C. .W This paper describes progress which has been made toward the development of a procedural model intended as a code of good practice to enable special librarians to effect economies in their journal holdings by systematically planned use of the BLL..

Well over a century ago, it was expressed with reasonable clarity by Wilhelm von Humboldt in his famous but rarely studied introduction to general linguistics (Humboldt, 1836). His view that a language "makes infinite use of finite means" and that its grammar must describe the processes that make this possible is, furthermore, a outgrowth of a persistent concern, within rationalistic philosophy of language and mind, with this "creative" aspect of language use (for discussion, see Chomsky, 1964, forthcoming). What is more, it seems that even Panini's grammar can be interpreted as a fragment of such a "generative grammar," in essentially the contemporary sense of this term. This monograph is an exploratory study of various problems that have arisen in the course of work on transformational grammar, which is presupposed throughout as a general framework for the discussion. What is at issue here is precisely how this theory should be formulated. This study deals, then, with questions that are at the border of research in transformational grammar. For some, definite answers will be proposed; but more often the discussion will merely raise issues and consider possible approaches to them without reaching any definite conclusions. .X 21 1 168 51 1 168 69 2 168 71 1 168 77 2 168 79 2 168 118 1 168 160 1 168 168 17 168 174 1 168 175 2 168 176 1 168 258 1 168 315 1 168 317 5 168 320 2 168 324 2 168 332 1 168 382 1 168 388 1 168 399 1 168 417 1 168 443 1 168 448 1 168 479 1 168 480 1 168 483 1 168 484 1 168 486 1 168 488 2 168 489 1 168 491 1 168 493 2 168 498 1 168 499 1 168 503 1 168 507 1 168 509 1 168 510 1 168 512 1 168 517 1 168 520 1 168 522 1 168 527 1 168 528 1 168 531 1 168 546 1 168 558 2 168 565 1 168 566 2 168 570 1 168 572 3 168 581 2 168 590 1 168 596 1 168 603 1 168 608 2 168 633 1 168 659 2 168 715 1 168 746 1 168 754 1 168 790 2 168 805 1 168 809 1 168 810 1 168 812 1 168 813 1 168 814 1 168 817 2 168 819 1 168 824 1 168 825 2 168 894 1 168 902 2 168 1024 1 168 1027 1 168 1045 1 168 1046 3 168 1047 1 168 1051 1 168 1118 1 168 1144 1 168 1213 1 168 1215 2 168 1225 1 168 1230 1 168 1231 1 168 1294 2 168 1310 1 168 1327 2 168 1386 1 168 1388 1 168 1389 1 168 1399 5 168 1413 1 168 1419 1 168 1427 1 168 1443 4 168 1448 1 168 1448 1 168 .I 169 .T The Assault on Privacy .A Miller, A.R. .W The genesis of this book can be traced to a telephone call I received during the fall of 1966 from Dr. James G. Miller, then Director of the University of Michigan's Mental Health Institute and currently Vice President for Academic Affairs of Cleveland State University. He asked what I am sure he thought was a relatively straightforward and easily answered question: What are the legal consequences of computerizing copyrighted materials? On closer inquiry I discovered that Dr. Miller was exploring the possibility of using computer technology to develop a national, multi-media information network, that would electronically integrate our colleges and universities, eventually providing each of them a comprehensive and easily accessible pool of scholarly works and educational services. He subsequently sought to breathe life into this idea of promoting the formation of an organization called the Interuniversity Communications Council (EDUCOM). .X 114 1 169 169 8 169 289 1 169 345 1 169 400 1 169 401 1 169 459 1 169 493 1 169 548 1 169 627 1 169 990 1 169 1073 1 169 1077 1 169 1148 1 169 1227 1 169 1368 1 169 1392 1 169 1414 1 169 1448 1 169 1448 1 169 .I 170 .T An Assessment of Quality in Graduate Education .A Cartter, A.M. .W Before this study was begun in the spring of 1964, serious deliberation was given to the question of American Council of Education sponsorship of an evaluation of selected graduate programs of major universities that comprise an important segment of the Council's membership. There was never any question about the need for doing in a systematic and objective way what necessarily goes on continually in any event, though usually in a piecemeal and more impressionistic way. Our Commission on Plans and Objectives for Higher Education, and other leading educators consulted, concluded that a thoroughgoing study should be made and that the Council's aegis was a suitable one. .X 14 1 170 48 1 170 97 1 170 99 1 170 102 2 170 103 1 170 104 2 170 106 1 170 108 1 170 110 1 170 111 1 170 112 1 170 113 1 170 153 1 170 170 8 170 223 1 170 266 2 170 271 1 170 456 1 170 545 1 170 550 1 170 560 1 170 793 1 170 893 1 170 1019 1 170 1028 1 170 1062 1 170 1086 1 170 1087 1 170 1090 1 170 1283 1 170 1285 1 170 1287 2 170 1291 1 170 1320 1 170 1334 1 170 1337 1 170 1340 1 170 1342 1 170 1343 1 170 1344 1 170 1346 1 170 1347 2 170 1424 1 170 1424 1 170 .I 171 .T The Association of American Library Schools, 1915-1968: An Analytical History .A Davis, D.G .W The growth of professions has been one of the sociological phenomena of the past century. As the strength of national professional associations of practitioners has increased, concern with education for the professions has prompted schools to develop standards and curricula to support the preparation of practitioners. During the half century spanning 1900 the schools in many professions formed national associations. The Association of American Medical Colleges, for example, was established in 1876. Other professional school associations followed: engineering (1893), law (1900), librarianship (1915), theology (1918), and social work (1919). These associations, to cite a few, have developed in different ways while conforming to general patterns and have reached various lvels of influence in affecting professional education. .X 8 1 171 20 1 171 171 5 171 230 1 171 339 1 171 387 1 171 909 1 171 918 1 171 933 1 171 1061 1 171 1403 1 171 1423 1 171 1453 1 171 1453 1 171 .I 172 .T As We May Think .A Bush, V. .W As Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, Dr. Vannevar Bush has coordinated the activities of some six thousand leading American scientists in the application of science to warfare. In this significant article he holds up an incentive for scientists when the fighting has ceased. He urges that men of science should then turn to the massive task of making more accessible our bewildering store of knowledge. For years inventions have extended man's physical powers rather than the powers of his mind. Trip hammers that multiply the fists, microscopes that sharpen the eye, and engines of destruction and detection are new results, but not the end results, of modern science. Now, says Dr.Bush, instruments are at hand which, if properly developed, will give man access to and command over the inherited knowledge of the ages. The perfection of these pacific instruments should be the first objective of our scientists as they emerge from their war work. Like Emerson's famous address of 1837 on "The American Scholar," this paper by Dr. Bush calls for a new relationship between thinking man and the sum of our knowledge. - The Editor .X 3 1 172 20 1 172 42 1 172 58 1 172 60 1 172 62 1 172 85 1 172 120 1 172 129 1 172 164 1 172 172 14 172 178 1 172 191 1 172 194 1 172 211 1 172 212 1 172 214 1 172 216 1 172 217 1 172 218 1 172 220 1 172 274 1 172 283 1 172 293 1 172 296 1 172 360 2 172 365 1 172 374 1 172 386 1 172 417 1 172 419 1 172 421 1 172 446 1 172 453 1 172 458 1 172 469 1 172 481 1 172 482 1 172 485 1 172 491 1 172 497 1 172 507 1 172 520 1 172 523 1 172 572 1 172 577 1 172 578 2 172 579 1 172 585 1 172 599 1 172 615 1 172 623 1 172 640 2 172 652 2 172 665 1 172 762 1 172 803 1 172 822 1 172 825 1 172 856 1 172 886 1 172 888 1 172 891 1 172 902 1 172 907 5 172 913 1 172 943 1 172 963 1 172 967 1 172 1004 1 172 1022 1 172 1030 1 172 1033 1 172 1045 1 172 1084 1 172 1147 1 172 1150 1 172 1207 1 172 1219 2 172 1257 1 172 1258 1 172 1268 4 172 1279 1 172 1387 1 172 1402 1 172 1417 1 172 1418 1 172 1426 3 172 1433 1 172 1441 1 172 1441 1 172 .I 173 .T Authoritarian Personality .A Adorno, T.W. .W This is a book about social discrimination. But its purpose is not simply to add a few more empirical findings to an already extensive body of information. The central theme of the work is a relatively new concept - the rise of an "anthropological" species we call the authoritarian type of man. In contrast to the bigot of the older style he seems to combine the ideas and skills which are typical of a highly industrialized society with irrational or anti-rational beliefs. He is at the same time enlightened and superstitious, proud to be an individualist and in constant fear of not being like all the others, jealous of his independence and inclined to submit blindly to power and authority. The character structure which comprises these conflicting trends has already attracted the attention of modern philosophers and political thinkers. This book approaches the problem with the means of socio-psychological research. .X 173 6 173 227 1 173 237 2 173 387 1 173 418 1 173 1070 1 173 1150 1 173 1186 1 173 1187 1 173 1240 1 173 1340 1 173 1340 1 173 .I 174 .T Automated Language Processing .A Borko, H. .W The idea for Automated Language Processing was suggested in 1964 at a time when the research efforts in information storage and retrieval were expanding at System Development Corporation. Many people in the company were directly interested in this area, and an even larger group had interests that were tangentially related. A quick and effective means of acquainting them with the state-of-the-art was needed, but no convenient compilation of relevant material was available. It was agreed that a book on the theory and techniques of information storage and retrieval procedures would be a worthwhile project for the language processing staff to undertake. Although no one member could reasonably be expected to cover the entire range of technical developments in this field, the staff as a whole is concerned with most phases of the work. This is attested by the fact that all but one of the chapter authors were connected with SDC either as employees or consultants. The single exception is Pendergraft, for SDC has had no sustained project in machine translation. SDC Management was enthusiastic in its support of the new project. .X 26 1 174 45 1 174 114 1 174 149 1 174 168 1 174 174 6 174 310 1 174 315 1 174 324 1 174 332 1 174 419 1 174 420 1 174 422 1 174 446 1 174 454 1 174 479 2 174 483 1 174 485 2 174 489 1 174 493 1 174 499 1 174 500 1 174 517 1 174 527 1 174 562 1 174 564 2 174 660 1 174 661 2 174 662 2 174 663 2 174 664 1 174 769 2 174 785 1 174 1144 2 174 1327 2 174 1419 1 174 1419 1 174 .I 175 .T Automatic Information, Organization and Retrieval .A Salton, G. .W Information retrieval is a field concerned with the structure, analysis, organization, storage, searching, and retrieval of information.

For instance in Chapter 1, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the idea of using keywords in information retrieval: I have not considered the relation between this kind of retrieval device and a controlled thesaurus or descriptor set, or that between the use of simple class lists as document descriptions and the use of descriptions with a syntactic structure, for example. Equally, in Chapter 2, I have made use of recall/precision ratios as a means of characterising retrieval performance, without justification or argument; but this does not mean that I am unaware of the difficulties of doing this, or of the attention which has been devoted to, and controversy which has raged round, this subject; it is simply that from the point of view of my main purpose it is reasonable to use these ratios. .X 26 1 176 30 1 176 51 3 176 57 2 176 61 1 176 69 1 176 71 2 176 73 1 176 75 1 176 77 2 176 79 1 176 114 1 176 144 1 176 168 1 176 175 6 176 176 16 176 315 1 176 327 1 176 329 1 176 363 1 176 382 1 176 419 3 176 434 1 176 446 1 176 448 2 176 458 2 176 480 1 176 483 2 176 484 1 176 486 1 176 488 3 176 491 1 176 493 1 176 499 1 176 500 1 176 503 1 176 507 1 176 509 4 176 510 1 176 512 1 176 517 2 176 520 1 176 522 2 176 527 2 176 528 1 176 531 1 176 565 5 176 566 2 176 570 1 176 572 1 176 576 1 176 577 2 176 581 1 176 595 1 176 596 4 176 603 1 176 608 2 176 619 1 176 633 1 176 644 1 176 659 2 176 660 2 176 661 1 176 662 2 176 664 1 176 715 1 176 754 1 176 785 1 176 790 1 176 805 1 176 809 1 176 810 2 176 812 3 176 813 2 176 814 2 176 817 1 176 824 2 176 825 1 176 830 1 176 870 1 176 894 2 176 928 1 176 963 1 176 990 1 176 991 1 176 1044 1 176 1051 1 176 1218 1 176 1255 1 176 1294 1 176 1307 1 176 1327 2 176 1413 1 176 1414 1 176 1419 1 176 1427 1 176 1445 1 176 1448 1 176 1448 1 176 .I 177 .T Automation in Libraries .A Kimber, R.T. .W My purpose in writing this book has been to try to give an understanding of what automated systems can do in libraries today. I have limited myself strictly to those areas which are commonly termed "library housekeeping" - the processes of book ordering and cataloguing, periodicals accessioning and circulation control, whose purpose is to make a library into an efficient machine for acquiring, storing, and disseminating knowledge and information. These are the processes which can be automated here and now to improve the quality of service which a library can give to its readers. I hope that the descriptions and explanations given here will be of assistance to librarians in developing appropriate automated systems in their own libraries. .X 24 1 177 75 1 177 78 1 177 80 1 177 177 7 177 281 1 177 287 1 177 336 1 177 348 1 177 374 1 177 406 1 177 408 2 177 458 1 177 471 1 177 849 1 177 852 1 177 853 1 177 854 1 177 855 1 177 897 1 177 916 1 177 979 1 177 984 1 177 1007 1 177 1011 1 177 1248 1 177 1327 1 177 1433 1 177 1433 1 177 .I 178 .T The Automation Survey: Background and Conclusions .A King, G.W. .W During the past decade the Library of Congress, in common with many other research libraries, has become increasingly aware of pressures and strains in many of its operations. These areas of concern (well known to librarians) include mounting arrearages in cataloguing and other processing activities; increasing complexity of manual inventory control files; increasing difficulty in keeping card catalogues reasonably current and accurate; and increasing demands for a wide variety of services for a clientele whose needs for information have grown tremendously since World War II, and many of whom have only recently turned to large research libraries for help. Five years ago an internal committee of the Library of Congress was charged to study potential applications of electronic data processing equipment to Library procedures; subsequently representatives of three computer firms made brief studies of Library operations which intimated that certain areas could benefit substantially by automation. .X 159 1 178 164 1 178 172 1 178 178 11 178 206 1 178 245 2 178 249 1 178 287 1 178 291 1 178 374 1 178 406 1 178 408 3 178 419 1 178 481 1 178 491 1 178 507 1 178 520 1 178 523 1 178 591 1 178 623 1 178 822 1 178 852 1 178 854 1 178 857 1 178 858 1 178 859 1 178 861 1 178 907 2 178 916 1 178 925 1 178 959 1 178 960 1 178 962 2 178 970 1 178 976 1 178 997 1 178 1007 2 178 1011 1 178 1033 1 178 1043 1 178 1071 1 178 1252 2 178 1317 1 178 1358 1 178 1371 1 178 1400 3 178 1400 3 178 .I 179 .T Automatic information, organization and retrieval .A Salton, G. .W This book deals with the computer processing of large information files, with special emphasis on automatic text handling methods.

Automation can also be extended to cover some more complicated functions. In all of these cases, the results supplied by automatic devices are analysed and decisions are taken usually by man. Thus, the role of machine is to considerably extend man's capabilities rather than to completely replace man. The automated systems intended to accumulate and search for information have come to be called information-retrieval systems (IRS). These systems can also perform the simpler forms of data processing. The physical facilities of these systems are communications equipment, punched-card computers, microfilming equipment, and electronic computers, the latter playing the most prominent part. .X 78 1 180 179 1 180 180 6 180 363 1 180 572 1 180 683 1 180 1139 1 180 1168 1 180 1171 1 180 1409 1 180 1409 1 180 .I 181 .T Medical School Library Statistics .A Keenan, E.L. .W At the June 1962 Convention of the Medical Library Association in Chicago, Illinois, Mr. Stanley Truelson, now Librarian of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, circulated a petition requesting the collection and publication of medical school library statistics. Forty-eight medical school head librarians signed the petition indicating their approval, and a committee for this purpose was formed by Dr. Vilma Proctor, Chairman of the Medical School Libraries Group of the Medical Library Association. This committee, composed of Mr. Truelson, Dr.Proctor, and myself, studied the questionnaires already in use, such as that of the U.S. Office of Education. These were rejected as not meeting the needs of our specialized group of libraries. As a guide for selecting the terminology in the questionnaire, we used the American Library Association's Definitions for Library Statistics; a Preliminary Draft (Chicago, 1961). After several drafts, a sample questionnaire was approved by the committee and distributed to all the medical school libraries in the United States and Canada. The Canadian medical school libraries were included as a result of communications with Miss Doreen Fraser, Librarian of the Bio-Medical Library of the University of British Columbia and Dr. J. Wendell McLeod of the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges. .X 31 1 181 36 1 181 41 1 181 46 1 181 181 5 181 182 2 181 183 2 181 184 2 181 193 1 181 195 1 181 198 1 181 201 2 181 203 1 181 204 1 181 205 1 181 206 1 181 207 2 181 208 2 181 217 1 181 269 1 181 395 1 181 415 1 181 748 1 181 760 1 181 767 1 181 774 1 181 778 1 181 891 3 181 905 1 181 952 1 181 953 1 181 964 1 181 968 1 181 1009 1 181 1018 1 181 1019 1 181 1240 1 181 1359 1 181 1397 1 181 1417 1 181 1417 1 181 .I 182 .T The Contemporary Medical Society Library .A Crawford, Susan Michel, Carol Waligorski, Conrad .W Four hundred sixty-eight medical societies in the United States were surveyed to determine those which sponsor libraries.. Seventy-eight libraries were identified, of which eighteen are "marginal" and nine are jointly supported by a medical school and a society, leaving fifty-one relatively "substantial" libraries whose major support is through society membership.. Characteristics measured include size of collection, types of media, staff, budget, services, and sources of support.. Questions are raised concerning the role of the medical library as one institution which participates in the continuing education of the physician.. .X 31 1 182 36 1 182 41 1 182 46 1 182 181 2 182 182 5 182 183 2 182 184 2 182 185 2 182 186 1 182 193 1 182 195 1 182 198 1 182 201 2 182 203 1 182 204 1 182 205 1 182 220 1 182 269 1 182 395 1 182 415 1 182 760 1 182 767 1 182 774 1 182 778 1 182 891 3 182 905 1 182 952 1 182 953 1 182 964 1 182 968 1 182 1009 1 182 1018 1 182 1019 1 182 1240 1 182 1359 1 182 1397 1 182 1417 1 182 1417 1 182 .I 183 .T Analysis of One Year's Circulation at the Downstate Medical Center Library .A Kovacs, Helen .W A survey of the circulation of books and journals at the Downstate Medical Center Library was conducted, based on cancelled circulation cards accumulated during a one-year period.. Analysis of the results shows the frequency of use of various materials by several groups of borrowers and brings out important differences between circulation of books and that of journals.. One of the result was the compilation of a list of most frequently used journals..

Miles Smith, Meredith Cuff, Renata Kilgour, Frederick G. .W Relatively few studies have been concerned with the use of biomedical books.. This paper reports an investigation into use made of library books by biomedical investigators.. Based on cancelled charge slips collected at the Yale Medical Library circulation desk, telephone appointments were made to interview those research investigators whose books has been returned the previous day.. The interviewer obtained answers from the investigator to a questionnaire to discover how the investigator had learned of a book, if the book had been useful, and, if useful, how it had been used.. During the six-month study period, 30.4 percent of researchers' volumes returned were monographs.. Almost four-fifths of books borrowed supplied information wanted, and about four-fifths of books used had been printed in the previous decade.. Nine-tenths of the use of books was research-related, the other tenth being for lecture preparation.. .X 31 1 184 33 2 184 36 5 184 41 2 184 42 1 184 46 1 184 57 1 184 76 1 184 89 2 184 90 1 184 97 1 184 102 1 184 111 1 184 112 1 184 161 1 184 163 1 184 181 2 184 182 2 184 183 7 184 184 11 184 193 6 184 195 2 184 198 2 184 199 2 184 201 5 184 202 2 184 203 6 184 204 5 184 205 3 184 209 1 184 210 1 184 212 1 184 217 1 184 220 1 184 222 1 184 225 1 184 233 1 184 267 1 184 269 2 184 284 1 184 286 1 184 294 1 184 359 1 184 373 1 184 395 2 184 415 1 184 543 1 184 545 1 184 552 3 184 587 2 184 588 1 184 605 1 184 613 2 184 614 1 184 624 1 184 638 1 184 667 1 184 735 2 184 747 1 184 748 1 184 750 2 184 751 1 184 753 1 184 759 1 184 760 1 184 765 1 184 766 2 184 767 3 184 774 1 184 775 1 184 778 2 184 782 1 184 783 1 184 784 2 184 787 1 184 788 1 184 789 1 184 791 1 184 792 1 184 793 2 184 799 1 184 800 3 184 808 2 184 828 1 184 891 1 184 905 2 184 952 1 184 953 2 184 959 1 184 964 1 184 968 1 184 977 1 184 983 1 184 1009 1 184 1016 1 184 1018 1 184 1019 1 184 1023 1 184 1030 1 184 1055 2 184 1081 1 184 1082 1 184 1083 1 184 1085 1 184 1086 1 184 1087 1 184 1090 1 184 1135 1 184 1151 1 184 1201 1 184 1240 1 184 1260 1 184 1275 1 184 1276 1 184 1278 2 184 1280 1 184 1285 1 184 1286 1 184 1287 1 184 1302 1 184 1335 1 184 1359 1 184 1390 1 184 1397 4 184 1401 1 184 1417 3 184 1418 1 184 1428 1 184 1432 2 184 1432 2 184 .I 185 .T An Investigation of the Educational Needs of Health Sciences Library Manpower: I. Definition of the Manpower Problem and Research Desing .A Kronick, David A. Rees, Alan M. Rothenberg, Lesliebeth .W In order to plan adequately for education in health science librarianship and to be able to project future demands and needs we need to know a great deal more about existing manpower in health science libraries.. This paper, the first in a series of reports on an investigation to gather this data, discusses the research methodology and the development of an inventory of the institution program population upon which the survey is based.. An analysis in terms of geographic location, type (educational, research, etc.), administrative control, and primary cognate area of these institutions is presented, and their distribution through the various Regional Medical Library areas is noted.. Preliminary estimates are made, based on questionnaire to the libraries, on the size of the library population, their relationship to reporting programs or institutions, exclusive of the hospital population which is being covered in an independent survey.. A questionnaire to library personnel is underway which will establish, along with the other questionnaires, a basis for exploring the relationships which exist between institutions or programs, libraries and manpower.. .X 36 1 185 182 2 185 185 10 185 186 5 185 187 5 185 188 3 185 198 1 185 201 1 185 211 1 185 217 1 185 220 2 185 891 2 185 1275 1 185 1397 1 185 1397 1 185 .I 186 .T An Investigation of the Educational Needs of Health Science Library Manpower: II. Health-Related Institutions and Their Library Resources .A Rothenberg, Lesliebeth Rees, Alan M. Kronick, David A. .W As part of an investigation of health sciences library manpower, the universe of health-related institutions and programs (excluding hospitals) was surveyed by postcard questionnaire to produce an inventory and description of libraries providing services to these institutions reported access to library resources, indicating usage of some 2,207 non-hospital libraries.. Eighty percent (2,431) of the institutions reported that the library used was "within" their own institution; 20 percent (608) noted that the library was "outside" of their institution.. The distribution of health-related institutions and libraries is shown by RML districts, together with relevant census data.. A classification of libraries, based on the degree of involvement of the libraries' facilities, resources and personnel in supplying services to health-related institutions, was developed.. It is concluded that projections of manpower needs should take into account institutions and programs not at present possessing health sciences libraries as well as documented demand in existing health sciences libraries.. .X 182 1 186 185 5 186 186 7 186 187 4 186 188 3 186 220 1 186 891 1 186 891 1 186 .I 187 .T An Investigation of the Educational Needs of Health Sciences Library Manpower: III. Manpower Supply and Demand in Health Sciences Libraries .A Rothenberg, Lesliebeth .A Kronick, David A. .A Rees, Alan M. .W An investigation of the manpower requirements of health sciences libraries and of educational programs appropriate to these manpower needs was begun in March 1968.. To data, 4,727 libraries have been identified as being used by 14,000 health sciences institutions and programs.. Of this total, 2,628 are hospital libraries; 1,328 are health sciences libraries; and 771 are academic or public libraries.. Within these libraries some 14,938 persons are directly involved, either full- or part-time, in the delivery of health sciences library services.. Of the total work force, 5,861 persons are employed in hospital libraries and 9,077 are employed in health sciences libraries and collections.. The ratio between professional and nonprofessional employees is 1:2; professional and nonprofessional status was assigned by the chief librarian.. Survey data indicate a 7 percent manpower shortage in positions classified as professional, and a 3 percent shortage in positions classified as nonprofessional.. .X 185 5 187 186 4 187 187 5 187 188 3 187 188 3 187 .I 188 .T An Investigation of the Educational Needs of Health Sciences Library Manpower: IV. Characteristics of Manpower in Health Sciences Libraries .A Rothenberg, Lesliebeth .A Rees, Alan M. .A Kronick, David A. .W A statistical description based on a mail survey of personnel in 2,099 health sciences libraries located outside of the hospital setting is reported.. Respondents to the survey were divided into three groups: professionals (those possessing a graduate library degree); nonprofessionals (those not possessing graduate library degree); and chief librarians (those responsible for a library's operations).. Survey items dealt with education, sex, age, salary, job mobility and preference for continuing education programs.. Some 60 percent of the respondents were professionals; 40 percent were nonprofessionals.. Seven hundred and twenty-eight chief librarians were identified in the population: 57 percent were professional librarians while the remainder were without a graduate library degree.. Approximately 1/5 of all survey respondents were men.. The age distribution for the work force tended to be bimodal, reflecting the career patterns of women and the later entry of men into librarianship.. The annual salary for male professionals was calculated at $12,732; for female professionals at $10,044; for male nonprofessionals at $7,878; and for female nonprofessionals at $6,313.. Male professionals were found to have the highest rates of job and geographic mobility.. Conversely, female nonprofessionals were lowest in mobility.. In expressing a preference for continuing education programs in library science, professionals tended to request courses dealing with the organization of libraries, health sciences institutions and their relationships, while nonprofessionals inclined towards courses in technical processing.. .X 185 3 188 186 3 188 187 3 188 188 5 188 188 5 188 .I 189 .T Selected list of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library .A Brandon, Alfred N. .W This updated list of 410 books and 136 journals is intended as a selection aid for the small library of a hospital, medical society, clinic, or similar organization.. Books and journals are arranged by subject, with the books followed by an author index, and the journals by an alphabetical title listing.. Items suggested for first purchase by smaller libraries are noted by an asterisk.. To purchase the entire collection of books and to pay for the annual subscription costs of all the journals would require an expenditure of about 12,000.. To acquire only those items suggested for first purchase, approximately $3,250 would be needed.. .X 87 1 189 189 7 189 196 2 189 201 1 189 215 1 189 219 1 189 221 1 189 359 1 189 415 3 189 748 1 189 767 1 189 775 1 189 821 1 189 905 1 189 952 1 189 1071 4 189 1147 1 189 1275 1 189 1302 2 189 1352 1 189 1352 1 189 .I 190 .T MEDLINE Evaluation Study .A Moll, Wilhelm .W MEDLINE (MEDLARS-ON-LINE) is the new on-line, interactive bibliographic searching system which was recently developed by the National Library of Medicine.. The system provides users with lists of bibliographical citations and other information from a three-year file of over 1,250 biomedical journals.. A survey testing user reactions was conducted at the University of Virginia Medical Library.. The results of the survey are based on replies by 246 users who requested one or more MEDLINE searches between September 1972 and March 1973.. The findings indicate that over 93% believe that MEDLINE is a substantial improvement over the traditional methods of searching through the printed indexes.. These respondents also stated that the results of MEDLINE searches had assisted them in their clinical or research work, or both.. Asked whether they would continue to use MEDLINE after the imposition of user charges on July 1, 1973, about 75% said that they would.. The remaining 25% expressed some reservation and doubts.. The survey gives reason to believe that with the imposition of user charges the use of MEDLINE will decline.. .X 10 1 190 124 1 190 127 1 190 129 1 190 190 5 190 191 2 190 197 1 190 211 1 190 214 1 190 218 1 190 225 1 190 243 1 190 244 1 190 304 1 190 305 1 190 306 1 190 307 1 190 330 1 190 358 1 190 378 1 190 385 1 190 394 1 190 433 1 190 450 1 190 451 1 190 452 1 190 459 3 190 468 1 190 484 1 190 492 1 190 508 1 190 511 1 190 512 1 190 514 2 190 518 1 190 520 1 190 523 1 190 524 1 190 525 1 190 526 1 190 529 1 190 530 1 190 534 2 190 546 1 190 547 1 190 553 1 190 579 1 190 594 1 190 603 1 190 604 1 190 606 1 190 609 1 190 610 1 190 611 1 190 612 2 190 625 2 190 626 1 190 630 1 190 636 1 190 637 1 190 642 1 190 646 1 190 648 2 190 650 1 190 692 1 190 696 1 190 699 1 190 702 1 190 703 1 190 705 1 190 708 1 190 726 1 190 727 1 190 728 1 190 731 2 190 732 2 190 733 1 190 734 1 190 736 1 190 738 1 190 739 1 190 740 1 190 741 1 190 742 1 190 743 2 190 744 1 190 755 1 190 817 1 190 820 2 190 823 1 190 825 1 190 826 3 190 827 3 190 828 1 190 879 1 190 883 1 190 947 1 190 948 1 190 1004 1 190 1017 1 190 1035 1 190 1058 1 190 1078 1 190 1089 1 190 1091 1 190 1146 1 190 1207 1 190 1230 1 190 1257 1 190 1264 1 190 1297 1 190 1303 2 190 1356 1 190 1364 1 190 1368 1 190 1370 1 190 1372 1 190 1373 1 190 1374 1 190 1375 1 190 1376 1 190 1377 1 190 1390 1 190 1390 1 190 .I 191 .T MEDLEARN: An Orientation to MEDLINE .A Soben, Phyllis .A Tidball, Charles s. .W ***MEDLEARN***, an orientation to MEDLINE, was developed to educate members of the biomedical community to become competent on-line searchers.. It appears in two complementary forms: an interactive terminal presentation available on the TYMSHARE Network and a supporting hard-copy manual which contains the didactic portions of the computer program as well as additional items which are not suitable for on-line presentation.. ***MEDLEARN***, a flexible instruction tool, is divided into forty sections which may be selected in various sequences depending on the user's previous experience.. Two MEDLINE simulations and feedback sections after practice on MEDLINE provide motivation for continued learning..

It is pointed out that fiscal realities will force some sort of serial acquisition cooperation for all viable medical libraries.. .X 115 1 192 183 1 192 192 5 192 196 1 192 215 3 192 216 1 192 219 1 192 221 2 192 410 1 192 415 1 192 943 1 192 944 1 192 949 2 192 1071 3 192 1302 1 192 1302 1 192 .I 193 .T Use of Medical and Biological Journals in the Yale Medical Library .A Kilgour, F.G. .W This paper presents data for the end of 1960 on recorded use of some two hundred of the most often used scientific and medical journals in the Yale Medical Library.

The system, called AIM-TWX, was sponsored by the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications and utilized a time-shared IBM 360/67 computer in Santa Monica, California.. Citations from 109 clinically-oriented journals from 1966 to date, including those currently included in the Abridged Index Medicus, may be retrieved either on- or off-line.. Various aspects of this service are described, including problems of staffing, training, and record keeping, as well as the role of the MeSH vocabulary which is the principle "language" of the man-computer dialog.. The statistical results indicated that the system was used for approximately 200 minuted on nineteen days and that an average of sixteen searches were run on any given day, or about 4.6 searches per hour of use.. In spite of an inexperienced staff who had little knowledge of the MeSH vocabulary and whose training schedule was limited to one four-hour session, the experiment was highly successful in terms of searches and citations.. At the end of the period, 298 searches had been run for 114 requestors, and 5,343 citations had been produced.. Only fifty-five searches yielded no citations.. The experiment generated a great deal of excitement and interest among the staff of the Library and of the Medical Center.. Moreover, a large number of medical practitioners in large and small communities of Virginia participated in this experiment, indicating that there exists a great demand for this type of literature searching which AIM-TWX is able to provide with great rapidity.. .X 66 1 197 120 1 197 124 1 197 127 1 197 129 1 197 161 1 197 190 1 197 191 1 197 197 5 197 211 1 197 214 1 197 218 2 197 243 1 197 307 1 197 330 1 197 332 1 197 375 1 197 378 1 197 382 1 197 445 1 197 450 1 197 451 1 197 452 1 197 454 1 197 459 1 197 468 1 197 472 1 197 484 1 197 492 1 197 503 1 197 506 2 197 507 1 197 508 1 197 511 1 197 512 1 197 514 1 197 518 1 197 520 1 197 523 1 197 524 1 197 525 1 197 526 1 197 529 1 197 530 1 197 534 1 197 546 2 197 553 1 197 554 1 197 579 2 197 591 1 197 593 2 197 594 3 197 595 1 197 596 1 197 597 1 197 599 1 197 600 1 197 603 2 197 604 2 197 606 3 197 609 1 197 610 1 197 611 1 197 612 1 197 625 1 197 626 1 197 630 1 197 634 1 197 636 1 197 637 1 197 642 1 197 648 1 197 650 1 197 692 1 197 696 2 197 699 1 197 703 1 197 705 2 197 708 1 197 723 1 197 724 1 197 726 1 197 727 1 197 728 1 197 731 1 197 732 1 197 733 1 197 734 1 197 736 2 197 738 1 197 739 1 197 740 1 197 741 1 197 742 1 197 743 1 197 744 1 197 755 1 197 795 1 197 801 1 197 805 1 197 806 1 197 820 1 197 826 2 197 827 1 197 836 1 197 866 1 197 867 1 197 879 1 197 883 1 197 956 1 197 989 1 197 1004 1 197 1035 2 197 1078 1 197 1089 1 197 1091 1 197 1207 1 197 1264 1 197 1297 1 197 1298 1 197 1299 1 197 1303 1 197 1327 1 197 1356 1 197 1364 1 197 1368 1 197 1370 1 197 1372 1 197 1373 1 197 1374 1 197 1375 1 197 1376 1 197 1377 1 197 1405 1 197 1405 1 197 .I 198 .T Choosing Physiology Journals .A Brodman, E. .W For many years administrators of library collections have sought objective criteria for assembling well-rounded periodical collections in the subject fields represented by their collections. The nearest approach to any criterion which does away with the a priori knowledge of the specialist was first suggested by Gross and Gross in 1927. This method consists, essentially, of counting the bibliographic citations at the conclusions of the articles in a basic periodical of the field under consideration, and of arranging the journals cited in order of the frequency of their citation. Thus, in the field of chemistry, the references in the Journal of the American Chemical Society are counted and a list is made of the most frequently cited journals. According to Gross and Gross, the journals which are cited most frequently in the Journal of the American Chemical Society are the most valuable journals for a library to purchase in order to possess a well-rounded collection in chemistry. Although the Gross and Gross method has been in use for almost twenty years, the fundamental assumptions upon which the method is based have never been examined. These assumptions are: 1. The value of a periodical to a professional worker is in direct proportion to the number of times it is cited in the professional literature. 2. The journal or journals used as the base for the tabulation are representative of the entire field. 3. If more than one journal is used as a base, all of them can be weighted equally. .X 31 1 198 33 1 198 36 2 198 37 1 198 41 2 198 46 1 198 76 1 198 89 1 198 181 1 198 182 1 198 183 2 198 184 2 198 185 1 198 193 2 198 195 2 198 196 1 198 198 8 198 199 1 198 201 3 198 203 1 198 204 1 198 211 1 198 217 1 198 220 1 198 269 1 198 361 1 198 379 1 198 395 1 198 415 1 198 543 1 198 545 1 198 552 1 198 588 1 198 614 1 198 616 2 198 632 1 198 635 1 198 638 1 198 685 1 198 735 3 198 760 1 198 766 1 198 767 1 198 774 1 198 775 1 198 778 1 198 784 1 198 789 1 198 821 1 198 828 1 198 831 1 198 891 2 198 905 2 198 952 2 198 953 1 198 964 1 198 968 1 198 1009 1 198 1018 1 198 1019 1 198 1055 1 198 1071 1 198 1147 1 198 1210 1 198 1240 1 198 1260 1 198 1275 5 198 1276 1 198 1290 1 198 1302 4 198 1355 1 198 1359 1 198 1397 3 198 1417 1 198 1432 1 198 1432 1 198 .I 199 .T Statistical Bibliography in the Health Sciences .A Raisig, L.M. .W The sustained interest in documentation, as a key to the retrieval of information in the literature of the sciences, has obscured largely the potential utility of statistical bibliography as a method of analyzing information needs. In the belief that a discussion of the latter may be of value to interested biomedical librarians and scientists, a review of investigative methods and results in the health sciences is offered here. Statistical bibliography may be defined as the assembling and interpretation of statistics relating to books and periodicals; it may be used in a variety of situations for an almost unlimited number of measurements. Within the last forty years bibliographical statistics have been collected and explained in several fields of science for these main purposes: to demonstrate historical movements, to determine the national or universal research use of books and journals, and to ascertain in many local situations the general use of books and journals. .X 33 2 199 36 2 199 41 2 199 89 1 199 90 1 199 97 1 199 102 1 199 111 2 199 112 2 199 113 1 199 161 1 199 163 1 199 183 2 199 184 2 199 193 2 199 195 1 199 196 1 199 198 1 199 199 5 199 201 1 199 202 1 199 203 3 199 204 1 199 205 1 199 209 1 199 210 1 199 212 1 199 217 1 199 220 1 199 222 1 199 225 1 199 269 1 199 284 1 199 286 1 199 294 1 199 360 1 199 373 1 199 487 1 199 543 1 199 545 1 199 552 1 199 587 1 199 588 1 199 605 1 199 613 2 199 614 1 199 624 1 199 638 1 199 735 1 199 747 1 199 750 1 199 753 1 199 766 1 199 767 1 199 775 1 199 782 1 199 784 1 199 788 1 199 789 1 199 793 1 199 799 1 199 800 2 199 808 2 199 905 2 199 911 1 199 953 1 199 959 1 199 977 1 199 983 1 199 1016 1 199 1023 1 199 1030 1 199 1055 1 199 1071 1 199 1087 1 199 1090 1 199 1135 1 199 1147 1 199 1151 1 199 1260 1 199 1275 2 199 1276 1 199 1278 1 199 1280 1 199 1285 1 199 1286 1 199 1287 1 199 1302 2 199 1335 1 199 1380 1 199 1390 1 199 1397 1 199 1417 1 199 1428 1 199 1432 1 199 1432 1 199 .I 200 .T Mechanization of Library Procedures in the Medium-sized Medical Library .A Pizer, I.H. Franz, D.R. Brodman, E. .W Mechanical means for expediting library work have been considered for many years, as an examination of the early pages of Library Journals bears out. The very first volume of the forerunner of the Bulletin, the Medical Library and Historical Journal, moreover, contained an article on the use of the "typewriting machine" in cataloging. Telephones have long been accepted as library machines, and, except for unusual items, hand bookbinding has given way to machine-bound books. Nevertheless, when the term "machine methods" is used for libraries today, the prevailing idea is that expensive and complicated electronic equipment must be employed, and, since few libraries are able to afford such equipment for themselves, it is generally assumed that none but the largest libraries (the Library of Congress or the National Library of Medicine, for example) will be able to employ already existing mechanical methods or devise systems specifically applicable to their own situations. .X 64 2 200 200 6 200 211 1 200 281 1 200 617 1 200 620 1 200 849 1 200 850 1 200 978 1 200 979 2 200 1051 1 200 1252 1 200 1252 1 200 .I 201 .T Moderately and Heavily Used Biomedical Journals .A Fleming, Thomas P. .A Kilgour, Frederick G. .W The purpose of this investigation was to produce a title list of current journals suppling upwards of 75 percent of demand at the Columbia and Yale Medical Libraries.. Columbia received nearly 2,000 journals and Yale over 1,500; findings are based upon an analysis of canceled charge slips for issues published from 1959 through June 1962.. This combined study of recorded usage for six months in the Columbia Medical Library (12.9 percent of circulation during January through June 1962) and for one year in the Yale Medical Library (12.5 percent of 1961/62 circulation) revealed that a core of 262 journals supplied 80 percent of use of titles published in the 1959 to mid-1962 period.. However, it is probable that current issues of all titles received were used at least once within the libraries.. Titles of sixty-seven journals which supplied slightly more than 50 percent of use are listed.. .X 31 3 201 33 1 201 36 4 201 41 1 201 46 1 201 57 1 201 76 1 201 89 1 201 90 1 201 121 1 201 161 1 201 181 2 201 182 2 201 183 5 201 184 5 201 185 1 201 189 1 201 193 7 201 195 3 201 196 2 201 198 3 201 199 1 201 201 16 201 202 1 201 203 6 201 204 5 201 205 4 201 209 1 201 210 1 201 211 1 201 212 1 201 217 2 201 219 1 201 220 2 201 222 1 201 233 1 201 267 1 201 269 2 201 284 1 201 286 1 201 294 1 201 359 2 201 373 3 201 379 1 201 395 2 201 415 1 201 475 1 201 543 1 201 552 1 201 554 1 201 587 1 201 588 1 201 613 1 201 614 1 201 624 1 201 638 1 201 667 1 201 735 1 201 748 2 201 750 1 201 751 1 201 759 1 201 760 1 201 765 1 201 766 1 201 767 3 201 774 1 201 778 2 201 784 1 201 787 1 201 791 1 201 792 1 201 793 1 201 799 1 201 800 2 201 808 1 201 821 2 201 828 1 201 889 1 201 891 2 201 905 2 201 952 1 201 953 1 201 959 1 201 964 1 201 968 1 201 977 3 201 1009 1 201 1018 1 201 1019 2 201 1055 1 201 1081 1 201 1082 1 201 1083 1 201 1085 1 201 1086 2 201 1151 1 201 1173 1 201 1201 1 201 1203 3 201 1240 1 201 1256 1 201 1275 2 201 1278 1 201 1302 1 201 1352 3 201 1355 1 201 1359 1 201 1369 2 201 1397 5 201 1401 1 201 1417 2 201 1418 1 201 1432 1 201 1451 1 201 1451 1 201 .I 202 .T Medical Libraries and the Assessment of User Needs .A Rees, Alan M. .W Users of information in science and technology have been studied in great detail with respect to material read, amount of time spent in reading and searching the literature, categories of questions asked, an so on.. Probing for this information has been undertaken by means of structured and unstructured interviews, diaries, surveys, and questionnaires.. Although a large amount of data has emerged on information usage and flow, the subjective response of scientists furnishes comment only on the satisfaction produced by present information services and does not yield insight into the extent to which needs remain unsatisfied.. Relevance figures based upon the response of systems to questions cannot be equated with satisfaction of needs, since questions constitute, in most cases, inadequate representations of underlying information needs.. Assessment of the needs of users of medical libraries and information system must, in fact, be made in relation to the observed behavior and experience of biomedical scientists.. There is room for well-designed experimentation which can explore the interaction of both psychological and environmental factors.. Significant differences in information needs exist among and between individuals such as researches and clinicians in the same environment.. With respect to environment, it is hypothesized that the information needs for medical practitioners in remote areas might differ significantly from those of their colleagues working in large metropolitan centers in close proximity to medical schools, research institutions, and other rich sources of information fallout.. It is anticipated that experimentation will eventually result in a methodology which will permit the determination and prediction of the information needs of any identified groups of users in a specific environment.. .X 18 1 202 33 1 202 34 1 202 36 1 202 42 1 202 49 1 202 53 1 202 59 1 202 90 1 202 132 1 202 161 1 202 164 1 202 183 1 202 184 2 202 193 2 202 199 1 202 201 1 202 202 6 202 203 2 202 204 1 202 205 1 202 209 1 202 210 1 202 212 1 202 213 1 202 217 1 202 220 1 202 222 1 202 224 1 202 243 1 202 284 1 202 286 1 202 294 1 202 421 1 202 465 1 202 466 1 202 490 1 202 491 1 202 506 1 202 507 1 202 510 1 202 512 1 202 543 1 202 588 1 202 591 1 202 595 1 202 603 1 202 604 1 202 613 1 202 622 1 202 623 1 202 624 1 202 629 1 202 633 1 202 639 1 202 659 1 202 676 1 202 711 1 202 722 1 202 723 1 202 726 1 202 728 1 202 730 1 202 731 1 202 732 1 202 799 1 202 800 1 202 808 1 202 809 1 202 810 1 202 813 1 202 814 1 202 820 1 202 822 1 202 828 1 202 870 1 202 879 1 202 891 1 202 928 1 202 959 1 202 965 1 202 973 1 202 1091 1 202 1151 1 202 1283 1 202 1298 1 202 1299 1 202 1363 1 202 1366 1 202 1367 1 202 1368 1 202 1396 1 202 1396 1 202 .I 203 .T Analysis of Recorded Biomedical Book and Journal Use in the Yale Medical Library Part I.

About two-fifths of material circulated were monographs.. Books and journals in seven subject fields provided over half of the circulation.. Approximately two-thirds of both books and journals used had been published during the most recent nine years.. A subject-by-subject examination of the ratio of books to journals circulating revealed that, in subject where proportionally more journals than books were taken out of the Library, books were of more recent imprint dates than were journals, contrary to the overall pattern.. Date distribution of books and journals by subject was also studied..

It fails utterly to report or even to suggest the relation of intralibrary and interlibrary serial resources.. The actual mechanics of the serial use analysis, and the active variables in the library situation which affect serial use, are demonstrated in a simulated analysis and are explained at length.. A positive design is offered for the objective gathering and reporting of data on the local intellectual use and physical handling of serials and the relating of resources..

Measuring a Library's Capability for Providing Documents .A Orr, Richard H. .A Pings, Vern M. .A Pizer, Irwin H. .A Olson, Edwin E. .A Spencer, Carol C. .W A method of measuring a library's capability for providing the documents its users need has been developed.. The library is tested with representative sample of such documents to determine how long would be required for users to obtain these documents.. Test results are expressed in terms of a Capability Index, which has a maximal value of 100 only if all the sample documents are found "on shelf".. Specific tests employing samples of 300 documents have been developed that are appropriate for academic an for "reservoir" biomedical libraries.. Realistic field trials have demonstrated that these two tests are practical to administer and that test results are adequately reproducible.. When strict comparability is not important, a library can test itself.. In assessing a reservoir library, test results are supplemented by data on its typical processing time for interlibrary loan requests.. Currently these tests are being used in a national survey.. The general method is applicable to other types of libraries, provided appropriate test samples are established.. If their limitations are clearly understood, these "Document Delivery Tests" can be valuable tools for planning and managing library services.. .X 4 2 207 5 1 207 9 2 207 31 1 207 32 1 207 46 1 207 61 1 207 67 1 207 70 1 207 71 1 207 72 1 207 73 1 207 96 1 207 131 1 207 133 1 207 135 1 207 136 1 207 137 1 207 153 1 207 163 1 207 175 1 207 181 2 207 206 7 207 207 17 207 208 6 207 217 2 207 222 1 207 223 1 207 234 2 207 245 2 207 266 2 207 270 1 207 272 1 207 277 1 207 282 1 207 296 1 207 297 1 207 298 1 207 300 1 207 301 1 207 302 1 207 358 1 207 364 2 207 382 1 207 408 1 207 456 1 207 458 2 207 481 1 207 483 1 207 485 1 207 502 2 207 515 1 207 535 1 207 549 1 207 625 1 207 629 1 207 631 1 207 634 1 207 638 2 207 748 1 207 764 1 207 766 1 207 768 1 207 774 1 207 779 1 207 780 1 207 783 1 207 791 1 207 799 1 207 811 7 207 816 4 207 818 1 207 823 1 207 843 1 207 844 1 207 846 1 207 891 1 207 913 1 207 915 1 207 925 4 207 939 1 207 948 1 207 959 1 207 960 1 207 961 3 207 962 3 207 963 1 207 964 5 207 968 1 207 976 1 207 981 1 207 982 1 207 994 1 207 1005 1 207 1015 1 207 1068 1 207 1203 1 207 1205 1 207 1242 1 207 1247 1 207 1268 1 207 1317 2 207 1321 1 207 1354 1 207 1358 1 207 1400 2 207 1402 1 207 1407 2 207 1410 1 207 1417 1 207 1445 1 207 1445 1 207 .I 208 .T Development of Methodologic Tools for Planning and Managing Library Services: III. Standardized Inventories of Library Services .A Orr, Richard H. .A Pings, Vern M. .A Olson, Edwin E. .A Pizer, Irwin H. .W A standardized procedure was developed for eliciting those details for a library's service policies that are important to its users and for recording the data by checking appropriate categories on a form.. This inventory procedure covers the entire spectrum of user services and accommodates a wide range of policies.. The inventory was originally designed for use by trained interviewers in large-scale surveys of academic medical libraries.. However, it is also suitable for other kinds of libraries, and the Interview Guide and Checklist can be used for a self-survey by library stuff.. In addition to survey use, the inventory has a variety of educational, administrative, managerial, and research applications.. A methods for weighting the categorical inventory data to reflect the relative desirability of different policies makes it possible to calculate scores indicating how a library's policies compare with those of an "optimal" library.. An analogous inventory of the services a library provides to other libraries was developed for surveying major backup resources in the medical library system.. .X 31 1 208 46 1 208 61 1 208 67 1 208 70 1 208 71 1 208 72 1 208 73 1 208 135 1 208 175 1 208 181 2 208 206 8 208 207 6 208 208 12 208 217 2 208 222 1 208 223 1 208 245 1 208 266 2 208 270 1 208 272 1 208 277 1 208 282 1 208 358 1 208 382 1 208 385 1 208 408 2 208 415 1 208 458 1 208 481 1 208 483 1 208 485 1 208 591 1 208 748 1 208 779 1 208 780 1 208 816 1 208 891 1 208 925 2 208 962 1 208 964 3 208 970 1 208 976 2 208 981 1 208 982 1 208 1005 2 208 1007 1 208 1018 1 208 1056 1 208 1205 1 208 1317 2 208 1358 1 208 1384 1 208 1400 1 208 1402 1 208 1407 1 208 1410 1 208 1417 1 208 1417 1 208 .I 209 .T Survey of the Card Catalog in Medical Libraries .A Pachefsky, Reva .W A survey of present uses and arrangement of medical library card catalogs was made in order to determine current practices and trends.. Attention was focused on the influences of MeSH on the card catalog.. The results indicate that the prevalent type of card catalog found in medical libraries is the divided catalog.. In addition, it appears that this catalog arrangement is gaining acceptance, and the trend is toward division.. MeSH has an effect on the organization of the card catalog; libraries indicate that it is an influential factor in the decision to divide the catalog.. .X 33 1 209 36 1 209 90 1 209 161 1 209 183 1 209 184 1 209 193 1 209 199 1 209 201 1 209 202 1 209 203 1 209 204 1 209 205 1 209 209 6 209 212 1 209 217 1 209 220 1 209 222 1 209 276 2 209 284 1 209 286 1 209 294 1 209 326 1 209 543 1 209 588 1 209 613 1 209 624 1 209 799 1 209 800 1 209 808 1 209 928 2 209 959 1 209 963 1 209 973 2 209 1151 1 209 1151 1 209 .I 210 .T Survey of Medical Literature Borrowed from the National Lending Library for Science and Technology .A Wood, David N. .A Bower, Cathryn A. .W This paper reports the results of a four-week questionnaire survey carried out at the National Lending Library (N.L.L.), Great Britian, to discover which types of organizations were the principal users of medical literature, what types of literature were used, and which were the main sources of references to medical publications..Industrial organizations and universities accounted for the majority (62 percent) of the loans, most of which were English-language periodicals published since 1960.. For the whole sample, citation list in periodical articles were the principal sources of references, although for literature published in the last fifteen months, abstracting and indexing journals were the main sources.. Of the latter, Index Medicus proved to be the most fruitful source of references.. By asking whether the item requested was really useful to their work, a measure of the reliability of the different sources of references was obtained.. Appendixes include the questionnaire, a list of the most frequently borrowed journals, and a list of abstracting and indexing journals used as sources of references.. .X 2 1 210 24 1 210 33 1 210 36 1 210 41 1 210 55 1 210 62 1 210 65 1 210 66 1 210 75 1 210 76 2 210 89 1 210 97 1 210 102 1 210 111 1 210 112 1 210 132 1 210 137 2 210 139 1 210 147 1 210 152 1 210 155 1 210 163 1 210 183 3 210 184 1 210 193 2 210 195 1 210 196 1 210 199 1 210 201 1 210 202 1 210 203 5 210 204 2 210 205 1 210 210 11 210 219 1 210 225 3 210 269 1 210 278 1 210 279 1 210 280 1 210 355 1 210 359 1 210 373 1 210 386 1 210 395 1 210 398 1 210 475 1 210 545 1 210 552 2 210 587 1 210 605 1 210 613 1 210 614 2 210 638 1 210 658 1 210 716 1 210 735 1 210 747 1 210 748 2 210 750 1 210 753 1 210 760 1 210 763 1 210 766 1 210 767 1 210 774 1 210 775 2 210 782 2 210 784 1 210 788 5 210 789 3 210 793 1 210 800 1 210 808 1 210 837 1 210 905 1 210 925 1 210 953 1 210 977 2 210 983 1 210 986 1 210 1016 1 210 1023 1 210 1030 1 210 1050 1 210 1055 3 210 1056 1 210 1083 1 210 1086 1 210 1087 1 210 1090 1 210 1135 1 210 1254 1 210 1260 1 210 1275 1 210 1276 1 210 1278 1 210 1280 1 210 1285 1 210 1286 1 210 1287 1 210 1291 1 210 1302 1 210 1335 1 210 1361 1 210 1369 1 210 1390 1 210 1397 1 210 1400 1 210 1404 2 210 1417 1 210 1428 1 210 1432 1 210 1451 1 210 1451 1 210 .I 211 .T A Regional Medical Library Network .A Pizer, Irwin H. .W The raison d'etre for cooperative networks is discussed, and the development of the SUNY Biomedical Communication Network is traces briefly; a description of the system and its products is given..

ISI's four years of experience with ASCA service have shown that librarians must be an integral part of the system and engage in a active dialogue between users and the machine.. Specific examples of how librarians can best serve the information needs of scientists using SDI systems are examined.. It is the basic contention of this paper that the librarian should serve as an intermediary between users and the numerous new information media.. In this manner the librarian can filter and translate the requirements of individual scientists to conform with the inherent limitations of all machine systems while exploiting their capabilities to the fullest.. .X 13 1 213 18 1 213 34 1 213 49 1 213 53 1 213 59 1 213 65 1 213 75 1 213 76 2 213 121 1 213 156 1 213 164 1 213 202 1 213 213 5 213 214 1 213 224 2 213 243 1 213 381 1 213 382 3 213 421 1 213 465 2 213 466 2 213 490 1 213 491 2 213 495 1 213 506 2 213 507 1 213 510 1 213 512 1 213 591 1 213 595 1 213 603 1 213 604 1 213 622 1 213 623 1 213 629 1 213 633 1 213 639 1 213 659 1 213 676 2 213 696 1 213 711 1 213 720 1 213 722 1 213 723 1 213 726 1 213 728 1 213 730 1 213 731 1 213 732 1 213 779 1 213 790 1 213 809 1 213 810 1 213 813 1 213 814 1 213 820 1 213 822 1 213 828 1 213 870 2 213 879 1 213 914 1 213 986 1 213 1055 1 213 1083 1 213 1086 1 213 1091 1 213 1283 1 213 1295 1 213 1297 1 213 1298 1 213 1299 1 213 1362 1 213 1363 2 213 1366 1 213 1367 1 213 1368 1 213 1396 1 213 1396 1 213 .I 214 .T Library Participation in a Biomedical Communication and Information Network .A Bridegam, Willis E., Jr. .A Meyerhoff, Erich .W The experience of two libraries participating in the SUNY Biomedical Communication Network is described..

Both the RMLP and the Regional Medical Program are based on regional cooperation to enhance the value of available resources, and to enable health workers away from main centers to use them.. Services with Regional Medical Libraries must supply are described.. As this program develops, more than conventional library services will be provided.. Regional Medical Programs stress the continuing education of health-related personnel, and their need for health information; libraries are necessarily involved in such programs.. The regions of the RMP are smaller than those of the RMLP, and the smaller regional focus may be an advantage..

Selected aspects of the descriptive data obtained on services to faculty and to medical students are presented and commented upon.. Comparisons with the findings of earlies surveys suggest that increases in the stuffs and budgets of medical school libraries over the past two decades have gone largely to supporting a rapidly increasing volume of service, rather than to any striking increase in the breadth and depth of services.. To facilitate summarization and comparisons among libraries the descriptive data were weighted and converted to quantitative measures; the weighting scheme was established by a group of five academic medical librarians to reflect the relative values the group assigned to different services.. One these quantitative measures, the percentage score for overall services relative to the optimal library, summarizes a library,s services in a single figure.. On this measure, medical school libraries ranged from 38 percent to 87 percent; the median overall score was 63 percent.. Results of some exploratory analysis are described; these analyses attempted ti find explanations for the observed differences among libraries and among geographical regions on the quantitative measures.. Present and potential uses of the survey data for managerial and research purposes are discussed.. One of the most important of these uses is in establishing and implementing standards - activities which should be carried out by the library profession itself - and recommendations are made for a program of such activities that is appropriate for the Medical Library Association.. .X 33 1 217 36 2 217 90 1 217 161 1 217 172 1 217 181 1 217 183 1 217 184 1 217 185 1 217 193 1 217 198 1 217 199 1 217 201 2 217 202 1 217 203 1 217 204 1 217 205 1 217 206 1 217 207 2 217 208 2 217 209 1 217 211 2 217 212 1 217 214 1 217 216 1 217 217 8 217 218 1 217 220 3 217 222 2 217 223 1 217 243 1 217 249 1 217 284 1 217 286 1 217 294 1 217 364 1 217 385 1 217 502 1 217 543 1 217 588 1 217 591 1 217 598 1 217 613 1 217 624 1 217 748 1 217 779 1 217 799 1 217 800 1 217 808 1 217 811 1 217 816 1 217 891 3 217 959 1 217 962 1 217 964 1 217 1030 1 217 1147 1 217 1151 1 217 1275 1 217 1397 1 217 1403 1 217 1403 1 217 .I 218 .T The National Biomedical Communications Network as a Developing Structure .A Davis, Ruth M. .W The National Biomedical Communications Network has evolved both from a set of conceptual recommendations over the last twelve years and an accumulation of needs manifesting themselves in the requests of members of the medical community.. With a short history of three years this network and its developing structure have exhibited most of the stresses of technology interfacing with customer groups, and of a structure attempting to build itself upon many existing fragmentary unconnected segments of a potentially viable resource- sharing capability.. In addition to addressing these topics, the paper treats a design appropriate to any network devoted to information transfer in a special interest user community.. It discusses fundamentals of network design, highlighting that network structure most appropriate to a national information network..

Legislation known as the Medical Library Assistance Act (MLAA) was passed in 1965 which enabled the NLM to (1) initiate programs to assist the nation's medical libraries and (2) develop a medical library network with the establishment of regional medical libraries to link the NLM with local institutions.. The National Library of Medicine, through the MLAA, has made available $40.8 million to the medical library community under a competitive grant and contract mechanism for the period July 1965 - June 1970.. A total of 604 projects has been executed in resources, research and development, training, construction, regional medical libraries, publications, and special scientific projects.. An assessment is given of each of these programs and their impact on both the National Library of Medicine and individual medical libraries.. In the aggregate, these programs have significantly improved library and information services to the professional health user.. The principal limitation has been inadequate funding to accomplish the level of originally stated objectives.. .X 33 1 220 36 2 220 90 1 220 161 1 220 172 1 220 182 1 220 183 1 220 184 1 220 185 2 220 186 1 220 193 1 220 198 1 220 199 1 220 201 2 220 202 1 220 203 1 220 204 1 220 205 1 220 209 1 220 211 2 220 212 1 220 214 1 220 216 1 220 217 3 220 218 1 220 220 8 220 222 1 220 284 1 220 286 1 220 294 1 220 543 1 220 588 1 220 613 1 220 624 1 220 799 1 220 800 1 220 808 1 220 891 4 220 959 1 220 1030 1 220 1147 1 220 1151 1 220 1275 1 220 1397 1 220 1397 1 220 .I 221 .T A Bookshelf in Public Health, Medical Care, and Allied Fields .A La Rocco, August .A Jones, Barbara .W This bibliography of nonserial publications consists of 610 annotations..

This survey led to the formulation of six criterion concepts (accessibility, cost, user satisfaction, response time, cost/benefit ratio and use).. The advantages and disadvantages of each method of measurement are discussed.. Several points which became clear during the analysis are discussed.. First, there is a relative lack of concern with the rationale behind the evaluation process, although the results invariably lead to a confused interpretation when there is no clear understanding of the purpose of an evaluation.. Second, the total library system is rarely considered; instead, each evaluation criterion is taken in isolation rather than as part of the whole.. Third, the library's preservation function has not been considered at all.. .X 5 1 222 9 1 222 33 1 222 36 1 222 90 2 222 91 1 222 158 1 222 161 1 222 183 1 222 184 1 222 193 1 222 199 1 222 201 1 222 202 1 222 203 1 222 204 1 222 205 1 222 207 1 222 208 1 222 209 1 222 212 1 222 217 2 222 220 1 222 222 7 222 223 4 222 267 1 222 284 1 222 286 1 222 294 1 222 296 1 222 297 1 222 298 1 222 300 1 222 301 1 222 302 1 222 358 1 222 364 1 222 368 1 222 435 1 222 494 1 222 515 2 222 535 1 222 543 1 222 587 1 222 588 1 222 591 1 222 613 1 222 615 1 222 624 1 222 625 1 222 629 1 222 631 1 222 634 1 222 791 1 222 792 2 222 799 1 222 800 1 222 808 1 222 811 1 222 815 2 222 816 2 222 818 1 222 823 2 222 840 1 222 843 1 222 844 1 222 846 1 222 915 1 222 925 1 222 945 1 222 948 1 222 957 1 222 959 1 222 961 1 222 962 2 222 964 2 222 994 1 222 1015 1 222 1023 1 222 1151 1 222 1219 2 222 1227 1 222 1242 1 222 1247 1 222 1268 1 222 1324 1 222 1354 1 222 1365 1 222 1390 1 222 1416 1 222 1417 1 222 1417 1 222 .I 223 .T Document Delivery Capabilities of Major Biomedical Libraries in 1968: Results of a National Survey Employing Standardized Tests .A Orr, Richard H. .A Schless, Arthur P. .W The standardized Document Delivery Tests (DDT's) developed earlier (Bulletin 56: 241-267, July 1968) were employed to assess the capability of ninety-two medical school libraries for meeting the document needs of biomedical researchers, and the capability of fifteen major resource libraries for filling I-L requests from biomedical libraries.. The primary test data are summarized as statistics on the observed availability status of the 300 plus documents in the test samples, and as measures expressing capability as a function of the mean time that would be required for users to obtain test sample documents.. A mathematical model is developed in which the virtual capability of a library, as seen by its users, equals the algebraic sum of the basic capability afforded by its holdings; the combined losses attributable to use of its collection, processing, relative inaccessibility, and housekeeping problems; and the gain realized by coupling with other resources (I-L borrowing).. For a particular library, or group of libraries, empirical values for each of these variables can be calculated easily from the capability measures and the status statistics.. Regression equations are derived that provide useful predictions of basic capability from collection size.. The most important result of this work is that cost-effectiveness analyses can now be used as practical decision aids in managing a basic library service.. A program of periodic surveys and further development of DDT's is recommended as appropriate for the Medical Library Association.. .X 5 1 223 9 1 223 14 1 223 90 1 223 91 1 223 128 1 223 129 1 223 130 1 223 153 1 223 158 1 223 167 1 223 170 1 223 207 1 223 208 1 223 217 1 223 222 4 223 223 6 223 225 1 223 234 1 223 266 1 223 271 1 223 280 1 223 296 1 223 297 1 223 298 1 223 300 1 223 301 1 223 302 1 223 358 1 223 364 1 223 368 1 223 393 1 223 435 1 223 468 1 223 494 1 223 515 1 223 535 1 223 550 1 223 591 1 223 615 1 223 625 1 223 629 1 223 631 1 223 634 1 223 639 1 223 646 1 223 647 1 223 651 1 223 765 1 223 791 1 223 792 1 223 811 1 223 815 2 223 816 2 223 818 2 223 822 1 223 823 2 223 827 1 223 843 1 223 844 1 223 846 1 223 915 1 223 925 1 223 943 1 223 944 1 223 945 1 223 957 1 223 961 1 223 962 2 223 964 2 223 994 1 223 1015 1 223 1019 1 223 1023 1 223 1028 1 223 1070 1 223 1085 1 223 1086 1 223 1090 1 223 1219 1 223 1227 1 223 1242 1 223 1247 1 223 1268 1 223 1354 1 223 1365 1 223 1374 1 223 1390 2 223 1401 1 223 1424 1 223 1437 1 223 1437 1 223 .I 224 .T The Implementation, Evaluation, and Refinement of a Manual SDI Service .A Yunis, Susan S. .W The Missouri Institute of Psychiatry Library has implemented an inexpensive, manual SDI (Selective Dissemination of Information) service based upon the monthly issues of Index Medicus..

The SDI service is compared to Current Contents, with the finding that 60 percent of the SDI participants prefer it to Current Contents.. For this select portion of researchers the Index Medicus SDI is the more suitable mode of current awareness.. For a significant portion of the MIP staff, however, the score of Index Medicus is too restricted to suitable replace Current Contents..

We propose to make detailed observations of the procedures by which firms make decisions and to use these observations as a basis for a theory of decision making within business organizations. Our articles of faith are simple. We believe that, in order to understand contemporary economic decision making, we need to supplement the study of market factors with an examination of the internal operation of the firm - to study the effects of organizational structure and conventional practice on the development of goals, the formation of expectations, and the execution of choices. .X 173 1 227 227 5 227 418 1 227 436 1 227 1025 1 227 1036 1 227 1070 1 227 1150 1 227 1186 1 227 1187 1 227 1188 1 227 1188 1 227 .I 228 .T A Mathematical Theory of Communication .A Shannon, C.E. .W The recent development of various methods of modulation such as PCM and PPM which exchange bandwidth for signal-to-noise ratio has intensified the interest in a general theory of communication. A basis for such a theory is contained in the important papers of Nyquist and Hartley on this subject. In the present paper we will extend the theory to include a number of new factors, in particular the effect of noise in the channel, and the savings possible due to the statistical structure of the original message and due to the nature of the final destination of the information. The fundamental problem of communication is that of reproducing at one point either exactly or approximately a message selected at another point. Frequently the messages have meaning; that is they refer to or are correlated according to some system with certain physical or conceptual entities. These semantic aspects of communication are irrelevant to the engineering problem. The significant aspect is that the actual message is one selected from a set of possible messages. The system must be designed to operate for each possible selection, not just the one which will actually be chosen since this is unknown at the time of design. .X 19 2 228 73 1 228 149 1 228 175 1 228 228 18 228 229 10 228 318 1 228 321 3 228 324 1 228 329 3 228 359 1 228 389 1 228 390 1 228 416 3 228 442 3 228 450 2 228 469 1 228 494 1 228 495 2 228 505 1 228 511 3 228 521 1 228 524 3 228 536 1 228 540 1 228 563 1 228 565 1 228 567 1 228 574 1 228 587 1 228 599 1 228 700 1 228 750 1 228 751 1 228 792 1 228 803 1 228 804 1 228 835 2 228 851 2 228 862 2 228 867 2 228 875 1 228 1082 2 228 1085 1 228 1086 1 228 1194 3 228 1199 3 228 1224 1 228 1232 1 228 1274 1 228 1282 1 228 1313 1 228 1396 1 228 1398 1 228 1398 1 228 .I 229 .T A Mathematical Theory of Communication .A Shannon, C.E. .W In this final installment of the paper we consider the case where the signals or the messages or both are continuously variable, in contrast with the discrete nature assumed until now. To a considerable extent the continuous case can be obtained through a limiting process from the discrete case by dividing the continuum of messages and signals into a large but finite number of small regions and calculating the various parameters involved on a discrete basis. As the size of the regions is decreased these parameters in general approach as limits the proper values for the continuous case. There are, however, a few new effects that appear and also a general change of emphasis in the direction of specialization of the general results to particular cases. We will not attempt, in the continuous case, to obtain our results with the greatest generality, or with the extreme rigor of pure mathematics, since this would involve a great deal of abstract measure theory and would obscure the main thread of the analysis. A preliminary study, however, indicates that the theory can be formulated in a completely axiomatic and rigorous manner which includes both the continuous and discrete cases and many others. The occasional liberties taken with limiting processes in the present analysis can be justified in all cases of practical interest. .X 19 1 229 73 1 229 149 1 229 175 1 229 228 10 229 229 10 229 321 1 229 329 1 229 359 1 229 469 1 229 494 1 229 521 1 229 540 1 229 574 1 229 587 1 229 700 1 229 750 1 229 751 1 229 792 1 229 804 1 229 867 1 229 1082 1 229 1085 1 229 1086 1 229 1199 1 229 1224 1 229 1232 1 229 1274 1 229 1282 1 229 1313 1 229 1313 1 229 .I 230 .T Between MLS and PhD; a Study of Sixth-Year Specialist Programs in Accredited Library Schools .A Danton, J.P. .W The intent of this survey is to describe educational practice (to spring 1969) in the emerging sixth-year specialist programs in library schools accredited by the American Library Association. .X 22 1 230 171 1 230 230 5 230 339 1 230 387 1 230 896 1 230 934 1 230 954 1 230 1403 1 230 1423 2 230 1423 2 230 .I 231 .T Bibliographic Control of Nonprint Media .A Grove, P.S. .W Educational systems specialists lament the deplorable lack of organization of nonprint media for utilization in the learning process.

The empirical distributions to which we shall refer specifically are: (A) distributions of words in prose samples by their frequency of occurrence, (B) distributions of scientists by number of papers published, (C) distributions of cities by population, (D) distributions of incomes by size, and (E) distributions of biological generally by number of species. .X 19 1 233 33 1 233 36 1 233 37 1 233 39 1 233 40 1 233 41 1 233 47 1 233 48 1 233 50 1 233 57 1 233 88 1 233 97 1 233 102 1 233 103 1 233 105 1 233 184 1 233 193 1 233 195 1 233 201 1 233 203 1 233 204 1 233 205 1 233 233 9 233 253 1 233 267 1 233 313 1 233 359 2 233 377 1 233 379 2 233 395 2 233 473 1 233 505 1 233 560 1 233 573 1 233 587 1 233 618 1 233 632 1 233 635 1 233 667 2 233 748 4 233 749 1 233 750 1 233 751 2 233 759 1 233 764 1 233 765 3 233 767 1 233 777 1 233 778 3 233 782 1 233 784 1 233 786 1 233 787 1 233 791 2 233 792 1 233 793 1 233 800 1 233 804 1 233 805 1 233 893 5 233 952 1 233 1016 1 233 1030 1 233 1061 1 233 1081 1 233 1082 2 233 1083 1 233 1085 2 233 1086 2 233 1087 1 233 1182 2 233 1200 1 233 1201 1 233 1274 1 233 1275 1 233 1277 1 233 1278 2 233 1280 1 233 1285 1 233 1286 1 233 1287 3 233 1301 1 233 1302 1 233 1304 1 233 1313 1 233 1335 1 233 1338 2 233 1341 2 233 1344 1 233 1347 1 233 1380 1 233 1401 1 233 1417 1 233 1418 1 233 1422 1 233 1428 1 233 1444 1 233 1444 1 233 .I 234 .T Book Availability and the Library User .A Buckland, M.K. .W The essentially logistical problem of making library books physically available when wanted by library users is central to librarianship. This book is a tentative attempt to provide a treatise on this problem. As such it has to deal with both theoretical analysis and the practicality of solutions. No apology is made for the attention devoted to theoretical analysis, because the author believes that a clear conceptual understanding of the factors involved is important for improved librarianship. The fact that analytical models are not always usable does not mean that the insight that can sometimes be derived from such analyses will not lead to a better understanding of the problems and, thereby, to improved library services. .X 5 1 234 115 2 234 128 1 234 129 1 234 130 1 234 167 1 234 207 2 234 223 1 234 225 1 234 234 14 234 236 1 234 245 1 234 280 1 234 303 1 234 304 1 234 306 1 234 338 1 234 361 1 234 364 1 234 365 1 234 393 1 234 433 1 234 468 1 234 494 1 234 502 1 234 638 1 234 639 1 234 646 2 234 647 2 234 651 2 234 764 2 234 765 1 234 811 3 234 816 2 234 818 2 234 822 1 234 823 2 234 827 1 234 842 1 234 925 3 234 942 1 234 943 2 234 944 3 234 948 3 234 963 1 234 1017 1 234 1023 1 234 1049 1 234 1070 1 234 1085 1 234 1206 1 234 1237 1 234 1257 1 234 1374 1 234 1378 1 234 1390 1 234 1401 1 234 1437 1 234 1440 1 234 1450 1 234 1453 1 234 1453 1 234 .I 235 .T Book Catalogs .A Tauber, M.F. .W In the intervening years since the appearance of the first collection of papers concerning book catalogs (Kingery, Robert E., and Tauber, Maurice F., Book Catalogs, N.Y., The Scarecrow Press, 1963), attention has been concentrated on the book catalog as a substitute for, or an auxiliary to the card catalog. This selection of papers has identified some of the efforts to solve particular problems concerned with book catalogs. The published papers, as well as those which have been written specifically for this volume, bring additional observations concerning the place of the book catalog in library services. .X 16 1 235 92 1 235 235 11 235 246 1 235 247 1 235 250 1 235 289 2 235 291 1 235 326 1 235 333 1 235 404 1 235 548 1 235 594 1 235 597 1 235 598 1 235 601 2 235 836 1 235 848 1 235 863 2 235 864 2 235 865 1 235 866 1 235 868 1 235 897 2 235 916 1 235 936 1 235 950 1 235 991 1 235 997 1 235 1000 1 235 1052 1 235 1152 2 235 1153 1 235 1216 1 235 1248 1 235 1266 1 235 1392 1 235 1395 1 235 1441 1 235 1441 1 235 .I 236 .T Book Publishing: What it Is, What it Does .A Dessauer, J.P. .W We speak of book publishing as an industry and as a profession. Both designations are certainly appropriate. Book publishing is a business conducted, for the most part, for profit. But its practitioners - at least those who do it honor - have motivations that transcend their profit interest. They know that books are no mere commodity, no mere items for consumption that leave their readers much as they find them. Books, like other vehicles of information and sources of entertainment can change, influence, elevate, demean, exalt, or depress those who expose themselves to them. What books are and can be depends heavily on the judgement, integrity, taste, and acumen of those who select and produce them - their publishers. .X 115 1 236 234 1 236 236 5 236 303 1 236 433 1 236 637 1 236 637 1 236 .I 237 .T Book Selection of Censorship .A Fiske, M. .W The key question was whether restrictions are being imposed on librarians, or whether they are imposing restrictions on themselves, that threaten the citizen's right to easy access to as adequate a collection of books and periodicals as his community, his country or his state can afford. Readers of this report may come to different conclusions about the "right" answer to this question, but whether they conclude that librarians are or are not being as forceful as they might be in developing and upholding freedom-to-read principles, it should not be forgotten that it is librarians themselves who have had the courage to provide the evidence. .X 14 1 237 20 1 237 132 1 237 137 1 237 173 2 237 237 14 237 238 1 237 272 1 237 767 1 237 772 1 237 952 1 237 954 1 237 1030 1 237 1056 1 237 1240 1 237 1275 1 237 1280 1 237 1453 1 237 1453 1 237 .I 238 .T Book Selection and Censorship .A Moon, E. .W When is a librarian's decision not to include a book in his library collection an act of book selection, and when is it censorship? Is there, in fact, any discernible difference in the two terms: book selection and censorship? This topic was discussed so lucidly and ably, long ago, by Lester Asheim in what has become a classic essay in the literature of librarianship, "Not Censorship, but Selection," that raising it again may appear to be an exercise in redundancy. .X 237 1 238 238 6 238 238 6 238 .I 239 .T Buyers and Borrowers .A Mann, P.H. .W This is the second book based on studies into social aspects of book reading.

It is hoped that the present list will meet this need, and that it will also be useful in four-year colleges, with special reference to their lower-division work; in secondary schools, especially where accelerated and honors programs or courses for advanced college placement are offered; and in public libraries seeking to satisfy the demands of high school and college students. .X 7 1 240 240 5 240 262 1 240 322 1 240 1028 1 240 1211 1 240 1212 1 240 1266 1 240 1424 1 240 1424 1 240 .I 241 .T A Brief guide to Sources of Scientific and Technical Information .A Hermer, S. .W This guide is a recapitulation and refinement of the substantive content of a one-and-a-half day course which was given before three groups of Federal scientists and engineers during the Fall of 1967. Its purpose was to train and inform working scientists and engineers as to the most direct and efficient means of seeking and acquiring work-related information. The impetus for the course was the recognition of the growing need for working scientists and engineers to share and participate in the existing and emerging information tools and mechanisms, and to avail themselves of the opportunities afforded by the newer approaches to information collection, organization, and dissemination. A further, related purpose of the course was to facilitate the fullest possible participation of the working scientist and engineer in the evolution of information services and mechanisms which are likely to have a greater and greater effect on his professional activities. .X 119 1 241 214 1 241 232 1 241 241 6 241 331 1 241 355 1 241 358 1 241 382 1 241 406 1 241 408 1 241 458 1 241 896 1 241 916 1 241 946 1 241 948 1 241 986 1 241 1012 1 241 1033 1 241 1079 1 241 1084 1 241 1249 1 241 1254 1 241 1379 1 241 1403 1 241 1403 1 241 .I 242 .T Building Library Collections .A Carter, M.D. .W Each year thousands of books are published by the general, the technical, the governmental and the university presses in this and other countries. From this overwhelming mass of new publications every library must, within the limit of its funds, select that small part which will be most beneficial to the community it serves. This is properly an awesome responsibility to the young inexperienced librarian. To the competent veteran it is a task which though carried on week after week never can approach the ease of a well mastered routine. Each book examined requires the exercise of careful judgement, integrity, emotional control at times, and scrupulous honesty, guided always by a sense of purpose. .X 11 1 242 242 5 242 1322 1 242 1322 1 242 .I 243 .T CAN/DI system: User reaction to a computer and information retrieval system for Canadian scientists and technologists .A Wolters, P.H.

At that time the project, designed as a national service to alert scientists and technologists to current information in specific fields of research, was serving over six hundred and fifty subscribers requiring a total of more than three thousand five hundred individual computer queries. Over one thousand personalized bibliographies are prepared each week from commercially available data bases purchased from Chemical Abstracts Service, the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and the British Institution of Electrical Engineers.

Neither has information been withheld to force readers tp explore alternative choices, as in the usual case method. Rather, all systems are identified and described as accurately as possible. Descriptive case studies are problem-oriented, however, because they analyze a situation in which a librarian had to decide if a computer could be successfully utilized to solve the problem at hand. The descriptive case method rather than the problem case method was chosen because it seemed important to describe each system in detail and to evaluate its performance in the context of a real library environment and against the background of particular institutional service objectives. .X 10 1 244 120 1 244 128 1 244 135 1 244 141 1 244 190 1 244 225 1 244 244 8 244 245 1 244 291 1 244 299 1 244 304 1 244 305 1 244 306 1 244 358 1 244 365 1 244 385 1 244 394 1 244 433 1 244 459 2 244 529 1 244 534 1 244 575 1 244 599 1 244 621 1 244 630 2 244 692 1 244 702 1 244 731 1 244 732 1 244 817 1 244 820 1 244 822 1 244 823 1 244 825 1 244 826 1 244 827 1 244 828 1 244 854 1 244 871 1 244 872 1 244 873 1 244 874 1 244 875 1 244 876 1 244 877 1 244 878 1 244 879 1 244 880 1 244 892 1 244 925 1 244 940 1 244 941 1 244 947 1 244 948 1 244 990 1 244 994 1 244 997 1 244 998 1 244 1017 1 244 1058 1 244 1079 1 244 1143 1 244 1146 1 244 1230 2 244 1257 2 244 1303 1 244 1390 1 244 1396 1 244 1402 1 244 1435 1 244 1436 1 244 1436 1 244 .I 245 .T Case Studies in Systems Analysis in a University Library .A Burkhalter, B.R. Muller, R. .W The marriage between the University of Michigan Library and Community Systems Foundation seemed like a sensible step at the time. Too often, Library administration found it necessary to choose between alternate courses of action without having adequate information. In addition, overburdened department heads rarely found time to alter their systems substantially to accommodate demands on the library and their departments, let alone time to make these changes in a systematic manner which considered the impact on other departments and carefully weighed alternative solutions. As a consequence of this situation, the library administrators were considering ways of providing staff assistance to themselves and the department heads, so that alternate courses of action could be designed and properly evaluated. .X 4 1 245 5 2 245 13 1 245 24 1 245 64 1 245 71 1 245 72 1 245 73 1 245 74 2 245 75 1 245 77 1 245 78 1 245 79 1 245 81 1 245 82 1 245 83 3 245 86 1 245 115 1 245 120 1 245 128 1 245 135 1 245 147 1 245 153 2 245 156 1 245 175 1 245 178 2 245 206 2 245 207 2 245 208 1 245 211 1 245 212 1 245 234 1 245 244 1 245 245 16 245 249 2 245 266 1 245 267 1 245 273 1 245 277 2 245 278 1 245 279 2 245 280 1 245 282 1 245 288 1 245 291 2 245 331 2 245 350 1 245 364 2 245 365 1 245 374 1 245 381 1 245 408 4 245 459 1 245 486 1 245 490 1 245 496 1 245 575 1 245 591 2 245 592 1 245 599 1 245 621 1 245 630 1 245 692 1 245 717 1 245 720 1 245 723 1 245 724 1 245 748 1 245 764 1 245 766 1 245 781 1 245 783 1 245 785 1 245 786 1 245 787 1 245 788 1 245 789 1 245 791 1 245 792 1 245 811 2 245 816 2 245 818 1 245 823 1 245 834 2 245 835 1 245 841 1 245 842 2 245 848 1 245 849 1 245 850 1 245 851 1 245 852 1 245 860 1 245 922 1 245 925 10 245 944 1 245 948 1 245 957 1 245 959 1 245 960 1 245 961 1 245 962 2 245 963 1 245 964 2 245 976 3 245 981 1 245 982 2 245 984 1 245 1005 1 245 1007 1 245 1023 1 245 1042 1 245 1051 1 245 1148 1 245 1184 1 245 1227 1 245 1238 1 245 1257 1 245 1317 6 245 1353 1 245 1358 2 245 1359 2 245 1360 2 245 1400 7 245 1402 2 245 1410 1 245 1415 1 245 1424 1 245 1424 1 245 .I 246 .T Cataloging Rules ad Principles .A Lubetzky, S. .W The present study was undertaken pursuant to an assignment by the Library of Congress.

Only now and then, if it seems necessary to a complete understanding of the implications of theory, is some detail of practice briefly described. It follows that the work is not a substitute for rules of entry and description, subject headings rules and lists, classification schemes, or other similar reference books. Instead, it is only a commentary on such works, and it does not profess to comment on more than a few of what seem to be the most important aspects of each. Comments are made only on cataloging in the United States. Many interesting practices have always been part of cataloging abroad. But to write of these practices also would have taken several books. This work looks at the foreign scene only when it seems necessary to understand fully some procedure in this country. If a reader in some other country finds anything in this book helpful, that will be, I hope, good for him and for his country's cataloging. I am not at all sure, however, that what we do and think in this country will be of value in other countries with other conditions. In no sense is this a book of American intellectual imperialism. .X 30 1 247 71 1 247 75 1 247 77 1 247 78 1 247 79 1 247 80 1 247 81 1 247 82 1 247 83 1 247 92 1 247 154 1 247 212 1 247 235 1 247 246 2 247 247 8 247 326 1 247 333 1 247 581 1 247 666 1 247 838 1 247 853 1 247 950 1 247 991 2 247 997 1 247 1000 1 247 1004 1 247 1153 1 247 1216 1 247 1265 2 247 1266 1 247 1393 1 247 1395 1 247 1431 1 247 1441 1 247 1441 1 247 .I 248 .T CATV and its Implication .A Thomassen, C.E. .W The papers in this publication represent the edited oral presentations of the speakers at the conference.

The general purpose of the Institute was to foster greater understanding about the subject of cable television in the conference participants. More specifically, the planning committee for the conference enumerated the following objectives: 1. to provide an atmosphere of inquiry focused on the implications of cable television for libraries; 2. to provide consultants and resource people who have knowledge and experience related to the potential of cable television and its implications for libraries; 3. to expand the participants' understandings and perceptions of the technology of cable television and its related equipment as they affect the libraries' communications responsibilities; 4. to suggest some techniques for utilizing cable television in originating local programs, and to explore the possibilities for the varieties of services cable television can offer the profession; 5. to aid librarians in all types of libraries to become aware of the unique possibilities for the utilization of cable television in their specific types of libraries, and also to suggest the importance of cable television in a systematic approach to library and information networks; and, 6. to create a growing and continuing consciousness of the problems and opportunities for the utilization of cable television in libraries. .X 248 5 248 910 1 248 1017 1 248 1145 1 248 1145 1 248 .I 249 .T Centralized Book Processing .A Leonard, L.E. .W This report summarizes the results of the fourteen-month feasibility study -- the Colorado Academic Libraries Book Processing Center project (CALBPC).

The CALBPC project was begun in 1965 by nine academic libraries in Colorado in an effort to establish a centralized acquisition and processing center. The report of Phase I-II, completed in June 1968, dealt primarily with a general feasibility study, the design of the central system, costs of acquiring and processing in nine libraries and a number of related concerns such as accounting, the congruence of approval plans and user attitudes toward library services. This report focuses on the experimental operations which were concluded officially on September 30, 1969. Whereas the Phase I-II study dealt with the theory and principles upon which a system might be based, we are presently concerned with the pragmatics of book processing, the obstacles encountered, and the solutions achieved. Although this report deals primarily with cooperative acquisitions and processing, we believe it also contributes to a better understanding of cooperative programs. The experiment was designed to monitor operations throughout the acquisition/ cataloging cycle. Performance and cost measurements were made on most internal and external aspects of the system. Monitoring also extended into the participating libraries where a product acceptance study was conducted. A secondary objective of the project was to observe the relationships which formed between the participants and the central agency, such as the interface of systems and the human interaction of participants and the Center. .X 16 1 250 214 1 250 218 1 250 235 1 250 249 2 250 250 8 250 289 1 250 295 1 250 340 1 250 348 1 250 365 1 250 375 1 250 394 1 250 404 1 250 408 1 250 855 1 250 863 1 250 864 1 250 872 1 250 897 1 250 938 1 250 974 1 250 981 1 250 984 1 250 986 1 250 1012 1 250 1152 1 250 1188 1 250 1247 1 250 1257 1 250 1317 1 250 1379 1 250 1390 1 250 1392 1 250 1410 1 250 1410 1 250 .I 251 .T Carl H.

When he became secretary, the association had already been in existence for forty- four years. What kind of association was it that claimed Milam's allegiance? What experience had he had with ALA before becoming its secretary? The answers to these questions lead to better understanding of Milam, the association, and their close relationship. .X 251 5 251 1439 1 251 1439 1 251 .I 252 .T Chemical and Engineering News .A Tate, F.A. .W Chemical Abstracts Service, along with the entire ACS publications program, is converting to a computer base.

The number of such abstracts published annually now is doubling every 9 years. The number of patent abstracts increased at an average rate of 5% per year in the 1960's compared with 11.7% in the 1950's. However, the total number of patents covered by CA, either by actual abstracts or through the CA patent concordance, grew at an average rate of 10.9% from 1961 through 1970. .X 19 1 253 37 2 253 39 1 253 40 2 253 47 1 253 88 1 253 97 1 253 102 1 253 103 1 253 218 1 253 233 1 253 243 1 253 253 8 253 313 1 253 359 1 253 375 1 253 377 1 253 379 1 253 395 1 253 408 1 253 492 1 253 497 1 253 505 1 253 506 1 253 507 1 253 508 1 253 510 1 253 548 1 253 560 1 253 573 1 253 580 1 253 594 1 253 601 1 253 604 1 253 607 1 253 618 2 253 622 1 253 632 1 253 635 1 253 667 1 253 677 1 253 687 2 253 706 1 253 748 1 253 749 1 253 751 1 253 764 1 253 765 1 253 777 2 253 778 1 253 782 1 253 804 1 253 805 1 253 866 1 253 867 1 253 893 1 253 952 1 253 1016 1 253 1042 1 253 1061 1 253 1085 1 253 1086 1 253 1087 2 253 1182 1 253 1200 1 253 1208 1 253 1274 1 253 1275 1 253 1277 1 253 1278 1 253 1280 1 253 1287 1 253 1301 3 253 1302 2 253 1304 1 253 1313 1 253 1327 1 253 1338 1 253 1344 1 253 1347 1 253 1380 2 253 1428 1 253 1444 2 253 1444 2 253 .I 254 .T Chemical Information Systems .A Hyde, E. Ash, J.E. .W The purpose of a chemical information system must not be restricted to the storage and retrieval of facts. It is equally important that the system shall provide methods which enable a scientist to assemble and to correlate the facts. Chemical information systems are required primarily as a service to research chemists to enable them to keep up to date with current developments in their fields of interest, and the establishment of information services has relieved the chemist of many of his problems of literature searching and information storage and organization. .X 116 1 254 117 1 254 165 1 254 252 1 254 254 7 254 327 3 254 347 1 254 568 2 254 641 2 254 668 2 254 670 1 254 671 2 254 673 2 254 677 1 254 678 1 254 679 1 254 682 1 254 683 1 254 687 1 254 689 2 254 690 2 254 693 1 254 694 1 254 695 1 254 698 1 254 700 1 254 704 1 254 706 1 254 707 1 254 714 1 254 730 2 254 738 1 254 833 1 254 890 2 254 1026 1 254 1072 1 254 1092 2 254 1292 1 254 1452 2 254 1452 2 254 .I 255 .T What do Chemists Read? .A Panton, D. Reuben, B.G. .W Most British universities are spending at least 3000 pounds per year on chemical journals alone. And this does not include any administration or binding costs which may be as much again. Are the universities getting their money's worth out of these journals? This survey of one particular chemistry department suggests that they are not. .X 32 1 255 255 6 255 359 1 255 591 1 255 592 1 255 716 2 255 735 1 255 792 1 255 952 1 255 953 1 255 1087 1 255 1089 1 255 1090 1 255 1260 1 255 1275 1 255 1276 1 255 1298 1 255 1302 2 255 1302 2 255 .I 256 .T The Civic Culture .A Almond, G.A. .W We are concerned in this book with a number of classic themes of political science: with what the Greeks called civic virtue and its consequences for the effectiveness and stability of the democratic polity; and with the kind of community life, social organization, and upbringing of children that fosters civic virtue. In using survey research to study these classic themes, we are also following the traditional practice of relying on the most precise methods available to us for the investigation of these problems. Perhaps Tocqueville and Bryce, were they living today, would have relied somewhat on the cross-section survey in their comparative studies of democratic attitudes. .X 256 5 256 256 5 256 .I 257 .T Classification for a General Index Language .A Foskett, D.J. .W The role of classification schemes in libraries and information services has probably caused more argument than any other professional activity. This would be surprising if classification were no more than a fairly convenient way of arranging books on shelves. Some librarians think it is, and support their view by heaping scorn on the heads of those who, like the Classification Research Group, actually spend years of their time in theoretical discussions that seem to result in more and more abstruse and difficult complications to what ought to be a straightforward exercise. Yet today we can see clearly two relatively new spectacles on the library scene: on the one hand, some librarians are criticizing the Decimal Classification (especially as used in the British National Bibliography) for being too detailed and unwieldy; on the other hand, some librarians, and still more information officers, are busy revising the Universal Decimal Classification in order to make it more detailed. In the next field, as it were, computerized indexing and retrieval systems are pounding away at the ever-growing masses of literature, producing results that impress computer specialists but not information users, who are so deafened by the noise that they cannot hear what is new. .X 154 1 257 159 1 257 160 1 257 257 10 257 260 1 257 429 1 257 476 1 257 478 1 257 489 1 257 493 1 257 498 1 257 501 1 257 516 1 257 582 1 257 583 1 257 653 1 257 655 1 257 688 1 257 715 1 257 796 1 257 797 2 257 798 2 257 801 1 257 802 1 257 838 2 257 1066 1 257 1230 1 257 1231 1 257 1255 1 257 1265 1 257 1393 1 257 1394 2 257 1405 1 257 1429 1 257 1430 1 257 1448 1 257 1448 1 257 .I 258 .T Classification and Indexing in Science .A Vickery, B.C. .B 1959 .W The first problem, that of learning of a publication's existence, is tackled by a multiplicity of abstracting and indexing journals and other bibliographies, and, at local levels, by library catalogues and unnecessary overlapping among these services, while ensuring adequately comprehensive coverage, are very great. But even if these were overcome, problems of the internal arrangement of these bibliographical aids would still remain. It is not enough for them collectively to record every scientific publication. The user must be able to find every such record, starting only with a subject on which he wants information. .X 149 1 258 160 1 258 168 1 258 258 5 258 263 1 258 388 2 258 477 1 258 480 1 258 516 1 258 558 1 258 746 1 258 758 1 258 761 1 258 817 1 258 825 1 258 1066 1 258 1215 1 258 1230 1 258 1231 1 258 1259 1 258 1309 1 258 1391 2 258 1405 1 258 1414 1 258 1414 1 258 .I 259 .T Classification and Indexing in Science .A Vickery, B.C. .B 1975 .W The preface to the first edition of this book - which is reproduced following this - shows that in 1958 the classification ideas in it were felt to be controversial, needing to be championed. A few years before, the Classification Research Group had issued a memorandum proclaiming 'the need for a faceted classification as the basis of all methods of information retrieval.' As part-author of this memorandum, I must now judge the claim to have been too bold, even brash. But it has been vindicated to an extent, for both in theory and practice the value of facet analysis, in the organization of subject vocabularies for indexing and search, has been widely accepted - whether these vocabularies are classified or alphabetical, and whether used in pre- or post-coordinate fashion. .X 259 6 259 434 1 259 445 1 259 449 1 259 476 1 259 477 1 259 542 1 259 758 1 259 874 1 259 1215 1 259 1231 1 259 1255 1 259 1259 1 259 1265 1 259 1391 1 259 1448 1 259 1448 1 259 .I 260 .T Classification Practice in Britain. Report on a survey of classification opinion and practice in Great Britain, with particular reference to the Dewey Decimal Classification .A Davison, K. .W The objectives of the Sub-Committee in starting their enquiries were basically three-fold 1) To gather a reasonable collection of statistics relating to the general practice of classification in this country. 2) To gather information on th actual use of the Dewey Decimal Classification in this country. 3) To provide a basis for the recommendations which are provided periodically for the Dewey Editorial Policy Committee from the Library Association Library Research Committee's Sub-Committee on Dewey Decimal Classification Revision. To this end a questionnaire was sent out to over 1100 libraries of all types throughout the country and after six months reminders sent to librarians to ensure they had received them and that none had been overlooked. The result of this was very pleasing; 716 were returned, the vast majority completed correctly. The actual figures of type and size of library are given in the body of the report but no type of library is completely omitted and a significant proportion of the larger libraries returned the questionnaire. .X 154 1 260 159 1 260 257 1 260 260 6 260 476 1 260 797 1 260 801 1 260 989 1 260 1066 1 260 1231 1 260 1255 1 260 1268 1 260 1394 1 260 1429 1 260 1430 1 260 1430 1 260 .I 261 .T Classification Scheme for Law Books .A Moys, E.M. .W An examination made over a period of years of the principles of classifying law books for use in libraries, and of their treatment in many general and specialized classification schemes convinced me that no scheme existed which was generally suitable for libraries in English- speaking countries outside the United States. Law collections in academic libraries in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth were in a particularly difficult position. They had the choice of adopting one of the good American schemes, which generally make inadequate provision for the needs of overseas Commonwealth libraries; or of adopting one of the English schemes, each of which is virtually tailored to a particular library, and several of which are even less well suited to overseas libraries; or of devising new schemes for themselves. There seemed to be an urgent need for a practical law classification scheme capable of being used in a variety of libraries, large and small, general and special, academic and professional, in these countries. .X 29 1 261 68 1 261 69 1 261 90 1 261 175 1 261 231 1 261 261 5 261 295 1 261 299 1 261 334 1 261 346 1 261 354 2 261 382 1 261 458 1 261 476 1 261 477 1 261 478 1 261 479 1 261 480 1 261 484 1 261 485 1 261 566 1 261 608 1 261 610 1 261 617 1 261 620 1 261 680 1 261 704 1 261 781 1 261 815 1 261 938 1 261 939 1 261 991 1 261 992 1 261 1118 1 261 1175 1 261 1221 1 261 1318 1 261 1365 1 261 1390 1 261 1390 1 261 .I 262 .T Classification and Subject Index for a Library .A Dewey, M. .W The plan of the following Classification and Index was developed early in 1873. It was the result of several months' study of library economy as found in some hundreds of books and pamphlets, and in over fifty personal visits to various American libraries. In this study, the author became convinced that the usefulness of these libraries might be greatly increased without additional expenditure. Three years practical use of the system here explained, leads him to believe that it will accomplish this result; for with its aid, the catalogues, shelf lists, indexes, and cross-references essential to this increased usefulness, can be made more economically than by any other method which he has been able to find. The system was devised for cataloguing and indexing purposes, but it was found on trial to be equally valuable for numbering and arranging books and pamphlets on the shelves. .X 1 1 262 7 1 262 240 1 262 262 6 262 353 1 262 365 1 262 950 1 262 978 1 262 1028 1 262 1068 1 262 1203 1 262 1211 2 262 1212 2 262 1266 2 262 1424 1 262 1425 1 262 1425 1 262 .I 263 .T Classification Catalogue Code .A Ranganathan, S.R. .W The Author, the Dictionary and the Classified catalogues represent three successive stages in the order of evolution of the internal form of the Library Catalogue. The classified form being the latest to evolve, the literature relating to it is comparatively scanty. It is strikingly so in the form of a systematic code of rules for cataloguing. While the number of codes for the Author Catalogue is fairly large and the number for the Dictionary Catalogue is also respectable, there appear to be few systematic and complete codes published in book-form for the Classified Catalogue. Hence this little venture, which is based on twenty-five years of experimentation and on the valuable reciprocal influence gained by its being taught to students of library science during the last twenty years. While the Call Numbers occurring in the examples given are constructed by the Colon Classification, the rules of this Code are not necessarily dependent on that scheme for their applicability. They are all of general application, irrespective of the scheme of classification in use. .X 258 1 263 263 5 263 388 1 263 434 1 263 477 1 263 516 1 263 1066 1 263 1231 2 263 1259 1 263 1391 1 263 1413 1 263 1414 1 263 1448 1 263 1448 1 263 .I 264 .T Cleaning and Processing Bindings and Related Materials .A Horton, C. .W The destructive effects of air pollution in the modern city upon the health of its people, its trees, and its gardens, even its buildings and statues, are well known and are being increasingly fought against. But the public, generally, and even many librarians and book-collectors, who should know better, are apparently unaware of the rapid deterioration of the world's libraries under these conditions. In libraries, museums, and private homes preventive care is regularly given to pictures and sculpture, fine furniture, silver and brass; but the gradually deteriorating volumes on the shelves are given no more attention than an occasional dusting which abrades the books more than it protects them. I would judge that more than 90 percent of the books and documents that come to my bindery for repair or restoration are in a condition that could have been avoided by regular and appropriate preventive care. Unfortunately, even when the custodians of books become aware of the problem, they my be handicapped by the relative unavailability of expert advice on what procedures to follow in conserving their libraries. The present essay is intended to meet this need. .X 264 6 264 337 1 264 351 2 264 351 2 264 .I 265 .T Code of Cataloging Rules .A Lubetzky, S. .W The following rules represent a system designed to produce an instrument essential to the operations and services of a library -- its catalog. To understand the rules and to apply them properly, it is necessary to comprehend the objectives which the catalog is to serve, the method by which these objectives are to be achieved, the basic aspects of the problem of cataloging, and the general principles which underlie the rules. Objectives. The objectives which the catalog is to serve are two: First, to facilitate the location of a particular publication, i.e. of a particular edition of a work, which is in the library. Second, to relate and display together the editions which a library has of a given work and the works which it has of a given author. .X 246 2 265 265 5 265 331 1 265 799 1 265 919 1 265 920 1 265 922 1 265 1042 1 265 1266 1 265 1445 1 265 1445 1 265 .I 266 .T Quantitative Criteria for Adequacy of Academic Library Collection .A Clapp, Verner W. .A Jordan, Robert T. .W The authors challenge accepted doctrine which asserts that the adequacy of an academic library cannot be measured by the number of books which it contains.. Out of their feeling that the Standards for College Libraries and the Standards for Junior College Libraries are inadequate for estimating the size (in volumes) required for minimum adequacy by libraries of institutions of higher education of widely differing characteristics, they developed new formulas for this purpose.. These formulas attempt to identify the principal factors affecting academic needs for books and to ascribe suitable to each factor.. The authors then illustrate the application of the formulas to specific institutions, and conclude that while the results are useful, further research in needed.. They end by suggesting specific topics for such research.. .X 14 1 266 31 1 266 46 1 266 153 1 266 170 2 266 206 2 266 207 2 266 208 2 266 223 1 266 245 1 266 266 15 266 271 2 266 275 1 266 277 2 266 282 2 266 288 1 266 290 1 266 305 1 266 307 1 266 408 1 266 550 1 266 925 1 266 964 2 266 976 1 266 1005 1 266 1019 1 266 1028 1 266 1086 1 266 1090 1 266 1400 1 266 1424 1 266 1424 1 266 .I 267 .T System Analysis in University Libraries .A Leimkuhler, Ferdinand F. .W A comprehensive enginnering approach to the analysis and functional design of library systems is described in terms of fundamental space-time relationship which characterize university libraries.. Long-run trends in aquisitions and circulation are related to the relative obsolescence of stored materials, and the uncertainty of short-run demand pattern is related to the need for excess service capability.. The spatial dispertion of library resources among specialized information centers and central depositories is considered with respect to availability, retrieval, duplication, and efficient storage.. .X 33 1 267 36 1 267 57 1 267 184 1 267 193 1 267 195 1 267 201 1 267 203 1 267 204 1 267 205 1 267 222 1 267 233 1 267 245 1 267 267 6 267 278 1 267 359 1 267 395 1 267 494 1 267 515 1 267 587 2 267 614 1 267 638 1 267 651 1 267 667 1 267 748 2 267 750 1 267 751 2 267 759 1 267 765 2 267 767 1 267 778 2 267 786 1 267 787 1 267 791 2 267 792 2 267 793 2 267 800 2 267 811 1 267 823 1 267 840 1 267 925 4 267 948 2 267 983 1 267 1019 2 267 1081 1 267 1082 1 267 1083 1 267 1085 1 267 1086 1 267 1184 1 267 1201 1 267 1219 1 267 1278 1 267 1317 1 267 1324 1 267 1400 1 267 1401 1 267 1416 2 267 1417 3 267 1418 1 267 1418 1 267 .I 268 .T Subject Specialists in a University Library .A Byrd, Cecyl K. .W In an attempt to supply in other disciplines the bibliographical expertise traditionally furnished by university library systems to departments with departmental libraries, Indiana University has over the past three years established ten subject specialist positions in the social sciences, humanities, and area studies programs..

K. .W Several possible methods of sampling of social science monograph titles in the general library of Purdue University were considered, and a "good" method was used to obtain estimates of their usage in the library and at home during the period July 1 - August 4, 1964.. The term relative usage was defined and used to study the effect of: (1) language, (2) country of publication, (3) year of publication, and (4) year of accession of a monograph title.. An attempt was made to fit a regression model for titles in English by quantifying the last three independent variables with relative usage as the dependent variable.. Functions based on the above variables have been developed to identify monograph titles for storage.. A questionnaire was employed to stady the usage of library facilities and to gather opinions of library patrons.. Purpose of visiting the library, reason for checkout of library material, reason for preferring library or home for the use of library material, etc., were analyzed on the basis of the replies received.. .X 31 2 269 33 1 269 36 3 269 41 2 269 46 3 269 89 1 269 97 1 269 102 1 269 111 1 269 112 1 269 163 1 269 181 1 269 182 1 269 183 3 269 184 2 269 193 3 269 195 1 269 198 1 269 199 1 269 201 2 269 203 1 269 210 1 269 225 1 269 269 5 269 280 1 269 373 1 269 395 1 269 415 1 269 545 1 269 552 1 269 587 1 269 605 1 269 613 1 269 614 1 269 638 1 269 735 1 269 747 1 269 750 1 269 753 1 269 760 1 269 766 1 269 767 3 269 774 1 269 775 1 269 778 1 269 782 1 269 784 1 269 788 1 269 789 1 269 793 1 269 800 1 269 808 1 269 891 1 269 905 2 269 925 1 269 952 1 269 953 2 269 964 1 269 968 1 269 977 2 269 983 1 269 1009 1 269 1016 1 269 1018 1 269 1019 2 269 1023 1 269 1030 1 269 1055 1 269 1087 1 269 1090 1 269 1135 1 269 1203 1 269 1240 1 269 1260 1 269 1275 1 269 1276 1 269 1278 1 269 1280 1 269 1285 1 269 1286 1 269 1287 1 269 1302 1 269 1335 1 269 1352 1 269 1359 1 269 1390 1 269 1397 2 269 1416 2 269 1417 3 269 1428 1 269 1432 1 269 1451 1 269 1451 1 269 .I 270 .T Conflict in Libraries .A Bundy, Mary Lee .W Intergroup conflict in libraries is explored, including conflict between departments, between professionals and bureaucracy, and between older and newer staff members..

Courses, treated as if monographes, are designed Dewey classification numbers and arranged in decimal sequence by groups.. Books in BPR falling into the groups are tallied; the DC groups are then rearranged by departments and the number and cost of books in each are totaled..

This critical assessment suggests that librarianship falls far short of the professional model.. Major shifts in the nature of the services performed by librarians and in their bureaucratic relationships will be required if librarianship is to advance..

When they go through librarians they must develop their questions through four levels of need, referred to here as the visceral, conscious, formalized, and compromised needs.. In this pre-search interview with an information-seeker the reference librarian attempts to help him arrive at an understanding od his "compromised" need by determining: (1) the subject of his interest; (2) his motivation; (3) his personal characteristics; (4) the relationship of the inquiry to file organization; and (5) anticipated answers..

The statistics can help the librarian decide how to allocate the budget to departments.. Traditional counts, by department personnel or by broad Dewey or LC classes, are imprecise.. An analogy between curriculum and circulation can be constructed by classifying courses in the college catalog (by DC or LC), rearranging the numbers thus generated by department, and then counting circulation within those groups.. The analogy is thus a quantitative measure and a precise reflection of library use according to curriculum.. .X 266 1 275 271 2 275 275 5 275 277 2 275 282 2 275 305 2 275 307 1 275 975 1 275 975 1 275 .I 276 .T The Title Catalog: A Third Dimension .A Nitecki, Joseph Z. .W The accessibility of the card catalog seems to be inversely proportional to the complexity of its arrangement.. A catalog divided into author-title and subject sequence simplifies the filing order of cards and facilitates the use of each catalog.. It is argued here that a three-way division into author, title, and subject catalogs will further augment these advantages.. In this paper a separation of the title catalog at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee library is described and evaluated.. .X 132 1 276 209 2 276 274 1 276 276 6 276 326 1 276 655 2 276 783 2 276 928 1 276 963 1 276 973 2 276 1445 1 276 1445 1 276 .I 277 .T An Allocation Formula Derived from a Factor Analysis of Academic Department .A McGrath, William E. .A Huntsinger, Ralph C. .A Barber, Gary R. .W The authors derive a book fund distribution formula from a factor analysis of twenty-two variables which measure and quantify academic departments.. The analysis generates a 22 x 22 matrix of correlations.. A few of the significant correlations are discussed; e.g. those between books published and books circulated (high correlation) and circulation-by-subject and circulation-by-person (low correlation).. The factor analysis sorts out the complex relationships between the twenty-two variables and reduces them to three main factors - two of which seem to describe materials used and users.. The third may describe needs.. The three factors are the chief elements in the formula.. Each factor can be represented by any one or more of the variables in that factor.. .X 71 1 277 72 1 277 73 1 277 74 1 277 75 1 277 77 1 277 78 1 277 79 1 277 81 1 277 82 1 277 83 1 277 86 1 277 153 1 277 156 1 277 206 1 277 207 1 277 208 1 277 211 1 277 212 1 277 245 2 277 266 2 277 271 1 277 275 2 277 277 7 277 279 1 277 280 1 277 282 4 277 290 1 277 305 2 277 408 1 277 486 1 277 591 1 277 720 1 277 748 1 277 785 1 277 786 1 277 787 1 277 788 1 277 789 1 277 791 1 277 925 2 277 943 1 277 964 1 277 975 1 277 976 1 277 984 1 277 1005 1 277 1400 1 277 1400 1 277 .I 278 .T Random Sampling: a Tool for Library Research .A Drott, M.

Use of this time and money saving technique requires no special mathematical ability or statistical background.. The concept of accuracy is discussed and a table is provided to simplify the determination of an appropriate sample size.. A method of selecting a sample using random numbers is shown..

To test this assumption the author hypothesized that no correlation exists between the subjects of books taken out of the library and those used within the library.. Counts were made of books left on tables, chairs, desks, and other surfaces and correlated to books charged out.. Two studies were made.. In the first, books were counted within finely delineated LC and Dewey class spans relating to academic departments.. In the second, books were counted within the broad LC first and second letters and the Dewey tens.. In the first case, the overall correlation was .86; in the second, with less data, .84.. The author concludes that out-of-library circulation totals can be reliable indicators of in-library use.. For predicting in-library use (and thus total use) two methods are cited-simple ratio of out to in, and the regression equation.. .X 46 2 290 266 1 290 277 1 290 280 1 290 282 2 290 284 1 290 290 8 290 925 2 290 943 1 290 981 1 290 1019 1 290 1023 1 290 1203 2 290 1416 1 290 1416 1 290 .I 291 .T A Generalized Methodology for Library Systems Analysis .A Burns, R.W. .W This article is directed toward the service in systems work. Its purpose is to generalize at a very elementary level a methodology or approach which can be used in conducting a systems study. Systems work is discussed here as a point of view; a logical, coherent, from the top down, preface to decision-making and resource allocation which utilizes a very powerful body of sophisticated techniques. The approach and techniques reviewed in this paper, however, will be those on the most elementary level. No attempt will be made to discuss the techniques of queueing, inventory management, linear programming, simulation, marginal analysis, game theory, statistical inference, or any of the other highly sophisticated techniques available to the operations research systems analysis (OR/SA) analyst. When the systems approach is clearly understood and properly used, it becomes a potent weapon in the arsenal of the administrator. Rather than a review of the tools themselves, a delineation of this systems methodology and point of view will be considered in this article. The methodology discussed here embraces a number of standard techniques used by the systems engineer, time and motion analyst, operations researcher, and occasionally, even the librarian. .X 120 1 291 128 1 291 135 1 291 178 1 291 235 1 291 244 1 291 245 2 291 249 1 291 288 1 291 289 1 291 291 6 291 292 1 291 408 1 291 459 1 291 548 1 291 575 1 291 591 1 291 594 1 291 597 1 291 598 1 291 599 1 291 601 1 291 621 1 291 630 1 291 692 1 291 836 1 291 863 1 291 864 1 291 865 2 291 866 1 291 868 1 291 897 1 291 915 1 291 916 1 291 925 3 291 936 1 291 945 1 291 957 1 291 959 1 291 960 2 291 961 2 291 962 1 291 972 1 291 982 1 291 984 1 291 1007 1 291 1052 1 291 1248 1 291 1317 1 291 1353 1 291 1358 1 291 1400 2 291 1401 2 291 1402 1 291 1402 1 291 .I 292 .T Cost Accounting and Analysis for University Libraries .A Leimkuhler, Ferdinand F.

In order to shift to an orientation that seeks to develop new and expanding service programs, the establishment to research groups could do much to improve both the services offered by a library and its role in the academic community.. While certain constraints always limit modification or the initiation of services, a properly constituted research group could do much to generate a climate for change, provide feedback to the library, and successfully continue to develop new and more effective library and information services.. .X 4 1 293 172 1 293 283 1 293 293 6 293 296 1 293 298 2 293 304 1 293 418 1 293 768 1 293 774 1 293 823 1 293 842 1 293 843 1 293 844 1 293 1007 1 293 1015 1 293 1041 1 293 1069 1 293 1070 1 293 1150 1 293 1214 1 293 1268 1 293 1268 1 293 .I 294 .T Key Factors of Circulation System Analysis and Design .A McGee, Rob .W Librarians must frequently judge circulation systems on the basis of widely disparate descriptions that make comparisons difficult..

Downs, Robert B. .W The role of the university library director has changed markedly in the last decade.. The position of library director has become a difficult role to serve.. Directors has been subjected to pressures from different quarters.. Five sources are identified by the authors, including pressures from the president's office, library stuff, faculty, and students.. These difficulties coupled with a declining ability to meet user needs, the lack of cohesive library planning, and an institutional inability to accommodate change have all contributed to the declining status of the library director..

A model is proposed which would balance the purchase of serials against the purchase of monographs by individual funding units within the academic library.. Special consideration is given to inflation as a cost factor affected by both the form of publication and the subject matter..

Yet the gap between theory and practice, so common in the history of American radical movements, is in some quarters growing wider. Some of the most militant of American radicals, in the New Left or in the movement for Black liberation, have at least temporarily avoided any serious concern with social theory. This neglect of theory doubtless has various origins. In some part it is due to the fact that these social movements are still new and their political activism consumes their necessarily limited energies and resources; the new radicalisms will, in short, need time to produce their new theories. Although the neglect of theory is scarcely peculiar to Americans, it is in part also due to the fact that American radicals are often more American than they know and may prefer the tangible outcomes of pragmatic politics to the intangible outputs of theory. Again, part of their neglect of theoretical problems is probably due to the close links that some young radicals have with the "hippie" contingent of their generation, whose more expressive and aesthetic styles of rejecting American culture dispose them to avoid what they take to be the sterile "hassles" of intellectual confrontation. There is also a vocal minority who, as has been said, feel personally excluded when they hear an appeal to reason. .X 89 1 308 105 1 308 107 1 308 308 5 308 1217 1 308 1331 1 308 1340 2 308 1348 1 308 1387 2 308 1387 2 308 .I 309 .T The SMART Automatic Document Retrieval System - An Illustration .A Salton, Gerard Lesk, M.E. .W A fully automatic document retrieval system operating on the IBM 7094 is described.. The system is characterized by the fact that several hundred different methods are available to analyze documents and search requests.. This feature is used in the retrieval process by leaving the exact sequence of operations initially unspecified, and adapting the search strategy to the needs of individual users.. The system is used not only to simulate an actual operating environment, but also to test the effectiveness of the various available processing methods.. Results obtained so far seem to indicate that some combination of analysis procedures can in general be relied upon to retrieve the wanted information.. A typical search request is used as an example in the present report to illustrate systems operations and evaluation procedures.. .X 26 1 309 43 1 309 75 1 309 309 5 309 328 1 309 389 1 309 390 1 309 416 1 309 477 1 309 565 2 309 660 1 309 661 1 309 791 1 309 852 1 309 970 1 309 970 1 309 .I 310 .T A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Banks .A Cod, E.F. .W Future users of large data banks must be protected from having to know how the data is organized in the machine (the internal representation). A prompting service which supplies such information is not a satisfactory solution.. Activities of users at terminals and most application programs should remain unaffected when the internal representation of data is changed and even when some aspects of the external representation are changed.. Changes in data representation will often be nedded as a result of changes in query, update, and report traffic and natural growth in the types of stored information.. Existing noninferential, formated data systems provide users with tree- structured files or slightly more general network models of the data.. In Section 1, inadequacies of these models are discussed.. A model based on n-ary relations, a normal form for data base relations, and the concept of a universal data sublanguage are introduced.. IN Section 2, certain operations (other than logical inference) are discussed and applied to the problems of redundancy and consistency in the user's model.. .X 45 1 310 62 1 310 174 1 310 175 1 310 310 8 310 318 4 310 363 1 310 409 1 310 422 1 310 454 1 310 455 1 310 458 1 310 462 1 310 479 1 310 483 1 310 485 1 310 564 1 310 604 1 310 661 1 310 662 1 310 663 1 310 737 1 310 745 1 310 769 1 310 853 1 310 875 1 310 883 1 310 1274 1 310 1327 1 310 1419 2 310 1427 1 310 1427 1 310 .I 311 .T Communication among Scientists and Engineers .A Lin, N. Garvey, W.D. Nelson, C.E. .W Since 1966, the Johns Hopkins University Center for Research in Scientific Communication has been conducting studies of the information flow process - the production, dissemination, and assimilation of information - associated with nine scientific and engineering disciplines. This process in most disciplines appears, from the dissemination point of view, to consume about five years - from the time a scientist begins his research until reports of his findings are cited in a review. To date we have conducted over sixty studies of this process and, since one of the main goals of our program is to make genuine comparisons of the scientific communication associated with the disciplines being studied, we have standardized the procedures, instruments, and analyses in those of the major studies which were conducted for all disciplines. We will present findings from the major studies conducted to date in order (1) to indicate the types of data we have collected on approximately 30,000 scientists and engineers during the past three years; (2) to indicate some of the goals of our program; and (3) to suggest a preliminary picture of the communication structure of science, as our program has led us to perceive it. .X 131 1 311 163 1 311 311 5 311 456 1 311 842 1 311 1232 1 311 1236 1 311 1400 1 311 1400 1 311 .I 312 .T Communication of Innovations: A Cross-Cultural Approach .A Rogers, E.M. Shoemaker, F.F. .W In the present edition we have, to a far greater extent, integrated diffusion research with the scientific study of human communication. Diffusion researchers have long been aware that they were investigating a special type of communication behavior. In this book we stress communication concepts and frameworks in our analysis of the diffusion process. We feel this provides an advantage of conceptual clarity as well as ease of wide expression. Our adoption of the communication viewpoint is reflected in the addition of several chapters, the complete reorganization of all chapters, and the frequent inclusion of new concepts. .X 89 1 312 95 1 312 102 1 312 105 1 312 113 1 312 191 1 312 312 6 312 356 3 312 436 2 312 437 1 312 456 1 312 459 1 312 475 1 312 544 1 312 560 1 312 594 1 312 602 1 312 728 1 312 1030 1 312 1036 1 312 1041 1 312 1045 1 312 1050 1 312 1154 1 312 1187 1 312 1284 1 312 1291 1 312 1296 1 312 1300 1 312 1303 1 312 1333 1 312 1346 1 312 1386 1 312 1406 1 312 1406 1 312 .I 313 .T Communication among Scientists and Engineers .A Nelson, C. E. .W In the course of collecting data on nine scientific and technological disciplines, it has become obvious to us that in their communication activities, some disciplines behave quite differently from others.. Recently, we have reanalyzed our data for the physical, the engineering, and the social sciences.. We do not have time to discuss differences among all three groups, so we have decided to compare only the physical and social sciences.. We have included data pertaining to the engineering sciences on the graphs, however, so you can get some idea of how they differ from the other two groups.. Before discussing these differences, we should like to emphasize that there are similarities, that there are of major importance, and that they, in fact, make genuine comparisons among the groups feasible.. We will discuss differences between the physical and the social sciences in terms of three major communication characteristics associated with science.. .X 15 2 313 19 1 313 37 1 313 39 1 313 40 1 313 47 1 313 88 1 313 97 1 313 102 1 313 103 1 313 152 1 313 233 1 313 253 1 313 313 5 313 359 1 313 377 1 313 379 1 313 395 1 313 447 1 313 449 1 313 505 1 313 560 1 313 573 1 313 574 1 313 585 1 313 618 1 313 625 1 313 632 1 313 635 1 313 667 1 313 748 1 313 749 1 313 751 1 313 764 1 313 765 1 313 777 1 313 778 1 313 782 1 313 803 1 313 804 1 313 805 1 313 893 1 313 952 1 313 1016 1 313 1061 1 313 1085 1 313 1086 1 313 1087 1 313 1182 1 313 1200 1 313 1274 1 313 1277 1 313 1278 1 313 1280 1 313 1287 1 313 1301 1 313 1302 1 313 1304 1 313 1313 1 313 1319 1 313 1321 2 313 1338 1 313 1344 1 313 1347 1 313 1380 1 313 1386 2 313 1408 1 313 1428 1 313 1444 1 313 1444 1 313 .I 314 .T Citation Measures of Hard Science, Soft Science, Technology and Nonscience .A de Solla Price, D. .W Perhaps the fundamental problem of those that work in the scientific information industry is that it is not just that special part of an information industry that happens to deal with material having a scientific content. Technical librarianship involves much more than librarianship applied to books with an esoteric vocabulary and much mathematics. My reason for choosing this problem as a contribution for such a strategic conference is that I know well as an historian of science that the greatest and most useful advances in our technologies have not come from the applied research of trained people trying to make themselves useful to society, but rather from basic research aimed at furthering understanding and curiousity, and powered by the latest instrumentation that the useful people have devised. I suspect that all the new indexing tools and computer handlings will be more useful to basic research in understanding scientists than they will to solving practical problems for which they are designed. It seems clear, however, that it is only such new understanding that can bring success, whatever solutions ultimately emerge. .X 33 1 314 48 1 314 89 1 314 100 1 314 102 2 314 105 1 314 106 3 314 108 1 314 110 1 314 113 2 314 155 1 314 157 1 314 314 7 314 356 1 314 359 1 314 544 1 314 545 1 314 560 1 314 573 1 314 582 1 314 587 1 314 605 1 314 656 1 314 685 1 314 748 1 314 750 1 314 767 2 314 775 1 314 778 1 314 787 1 314 791 1 314 793 1 314 794 1 314 800 2 314 808 1 314 1030 1 314 1050 1 314 1062 1 314 1256 1 314 1273 1 314 1274 1 314 1284 1 314 1285 4 314 1290 1 314 1291 1 314 1293 1 314 1294 1 314 1295 1 314 1296 1 314 1297 1 314 1312 1 314 1313 1 314 1319 1 314 1337 1 314 1338 1 314 1346 1 314 1352 1 314 1386 2 314 1386 2 314 .I 315 .T Automatic Abstracting and Indexing - Survey and Recommendations .A Edmundson, H.P. .A Wyllys, R.E. .W In preparation for the widespread use of automatic scanner which will read documents and transmit their contents in automatic analysis: the relative- frequency approach to measuring the significance of words, word groups, and sentences..

It is concluded that at least minimally effective techniques have been devised for answering questions from natural language subsets in small scale experimental systems and that a useful paradigm has evolved to guide research efforts in the field.. Current approaches to semantic analysis and logical inference are seen to be effective beginnings but of questionable generality with respect either to subtle aspects of meaning or to applications over large subset of English.. Generalizing from current small-scale experiments to language processing systems based on dictionaries with thousands of entries - with correspondingly large grammars and semantic systems - may entail a new order of complexity and require the invention and development of entirely different approaches to semantic analysis and question answering.. .X 77 1 317 79 1 317 168 5 317 175 1 317 179 1 317 317 6 317 320 2 317 332 1 317 388 1 317 417 1 317 443 1 317 488 1 317 489 1 317 493 1 317 498 1 317 499 1 317 546 1 317 558 1 317 570 1 317 572 2 317 581 1 317 608 1 317 659 1 317 790 1 317 902 1 317 1046 2 317 1118 1 317 1137 1 317 1294 1 317 1327 1 317 1399 3 317 1413 1 317 1443 2 317 1448 1 317 1448 1 317 .I 318 .T A Formal System for Information Retrieval from Files .A Hsiao, David Harary, Frank .W A generalized file structure is provided by which the concepts of keyword, index, record, file, directory decoding, and record retrieval are defined and from which some of the frequently used file structures such is inverted files, index-sequential files, and multilists files are derived..

Goffman, W. Belzer, J. .W In this note we attempt to point out why boolean functions are, in general, not applicable in information retrieval systems. First, we wish to stress that a system, which supposedly is to serve a certain purpose, has to try to optimize some overall performance rather than certain detailed parts of it. This situation is, of course, well known. Saying that a system should cater to an optimal performance implies that the reward varies with different circumstances. That is, there may always be some customers who will not agree that the system's output is satisfactory. However, these should be relatively few. In the case of an information retrieval system, let us consider one whose function is to furnish a reference list as a reaction to a question. So, if we have a set of documents S and a set of questions Q, the system has to assign to each question q, an answer A(q) which is a subset of S. Naturally, this answer cannot be chosen arbitrarily; it should reflect a relation between the question and the resulting reference list. Usually one says that the documents in the list are relevant to the question. More precisely stated, we assume that the enquirer expects a certain reference list, namely the one he would have procured had he himself probed the documents in the set. .X 54 2 319 70 1 319 72 1 319 73 2 319 150 1 319 319 5 319 390 1 319 444 1 319 474 1 319 487 1 319 509 1 319 519 1 319 565 1 319 625 1 319 660 2 319 714 1 319 780 2 319 785 2 319 810 2 319 1279 1 319 1282 1 319 1307 1 319 1427 1 319 1427 1 319 .I 320 .T The Teachable Language Comprehender: A Simulation Program and Theory of Language .A Quillian, M.R. .W The Teachable Language Comprehender (TLC) is a program designed to be capable of being taught to "comprehend" English text. When text which the program has not seen before is input to it, it comprehends that text by correctly relating each (explicit or implicit) assertion of the new text to a large memory. This memory is a "semantic network" representing factual assertions about the world. The program also creates copies of the parts of its memory which have been found to relate to the new text, adapting and combining these copies to represent the meaning of the new text. By this means, the meaning of all text the program successfully comprehends is encoded into the same format as that of the memory. In this form it can be added into the memory. Both factual assertions for the memory and the capabilities for correctly relating text to the memory's prior content are to be taught to the program as they are needed. TLC presently contains a relatively small number of examples of such assertions and capabilities, but within the system, notations for expressing either of these are provided. Thus the program now corresponds to a general process for comprehending language, and it provides a methodology for adding the additional information this process requires to actually comprehend text of any particular kind. The memory structure and comprehension process of TLC allow new factual assertions and capabilities for relating text to such stored assertions and capabilities for relating text to such stored assertions to generalize automatically. That is, once such an assertion or capability is put into the system, it becomes available to help comprehend a great many other sentences in the future. .X 61 1 320 77 1 320 79 1 320 117 1 320 168 2 320 175 1 320 274 1 320 317 2 320 320 6 320 458 1 320 459 1 320 488 1 320 489 1 320 493 1 320 498 1 320 499 1 320 526 1 320 546 1 320 558 1 320 570 1 320 572 1 320 579 1 320 581 1 320 590 1 320 606 1 320 626 1 320 659 1 320 664 1 320 754 1 320 790 1 320 814 1 320 826 1 320 1035 1 320 1046 2 320 1118 1 320 1294 1 320 1399 1 320 1427 1 320 1443 3 320 1443 3 320 .I 321 .T An Information-Theoretic Approach to Text Searching in Direct Access Systems .A Barton, I.J. Creasey, S.E. Lynch, M.F. Snell, M.J. .W Using direct access computer files of bibliographic information, an attempt is made to overcome one of the problems often associated with information retrieval, namely, the maintenance and use of large dictionaries, the greater part of which is used only infrequently. A novel method is presented, which maps they hyperbolic frequency distribution of text characteristics onto a rectangular distribution. This is more suited to implementation on storage devices. This method treats text as a string of characters rather than words bounded by spaces, and chooses subsets of strings such that their frequencies of occurrence are more even than those of word types. The members of this subset are then used as index keys for retrieval. The rectangular distribution of key frequencies results in a much simplified file organization and promises considerable cost advantages. .K text searching, information theory, filed organization, direct access, information retrieval, character string, bit vector .C 3.42 3.70 3.73 3.74 5.6 .X 19 2 321 228 3 321 229 1 321 318 1 321 321 6 321 324 1 321 329 2 321 416 2 321 419 1 321 442 2 321 450 2 321 459 1 321 495 1 321 511 2 321 521 1 321 524 2 321 562 1 321 563 1 321 565 1 321 567 1 321 643 1 321 660 1 321 700 1 321 835 2 321 851 2 321 862 2 321 867 1 321 875 1 321 1194 2 321 1199 3 321 1218 1 321 1327 1 321 1427 1 321 1427 1 321 .I 322 .T The Community College Library .A Veit, F. .W This study deals with the learning resources programs of the public two-year colleges.

There will also be many new problems. Some of these are already becoming apparent, while others are still unknown. But librarians need not despair; the past record is clear. Through the use of sophisticated electronic machines, we have begun to master the bibliographical control and retrieval of information, we have improved the communication between librarians and the consumers of information on a national and international basis, and we have refined the many problems concerned with cataloging and classifying information. In addition, library education has been on the front line in trying to educate people to understand the complexities of organizing and disseminating information of all types. .X 3 1 323 323 5 323 407 1 323 407 1 323 .I 324 .T Computational Analysis of Present-Day American English .A Kucera, H. .W Readers can expect to find many parts of this volume tantalizing.

For there is given here a wholly adequate description of the nature of the Corpus of Present-Day Edited American English on which this study is based, the details of its constituents, and the modes of its transfer to tape. A replica of that tape is available at a small cost in money, which is minuscule compared to the cost in time needed to produce a like corpus.

Many of the difficulties in manual filing, as shown in the A.L.A. Rules for Filing Catalog Cards, become even more intricate to cope with when computers are used. Of course, if cost is not an object, the theoretical potentialities for computer programming are practically limitless. However, modifications in rules and procedures can make the alphabetic arranging or merging of index, catalog, or bibliographic entries by computer more readily possible, and these modifications are made in this proposed code for computer filing of complex alphabetic entries. .X 39 1 326 50 1 326 92 1 326 209 1 326 235 1 326 246 1 326 247 1 326 276 1 326 326 7 326 333 1 326 446 1 326 473 1 326 485 1 326 503 1 326 572 1 326 616 1 326 632 1 326 746 1 326 773 1 326 848 1 326 874 1 326 880 1 326 922 1 326 928 1 326 950 1 326 958 1 326 963 1 326 973 1 326 991 1 326 997 1 326 1000 1 326 1153 1 326 1207 1 326 1216 1 326 1266 1 326 1283 1 326 1395 1 326 1426 1 326 1441 1 326 1441 1 326 .I 327 .T Computer Handling of Chemical Structure Information .A Lynch, M.F. .W Far-reaching changes in the patterns of communication in science are at present in motion, which seem likely to have fundamental effects on scientists's use of and access to existing knowledge. These changes derive from the increasing involvement of computer techniques in the publication, dissemination and retrieval of scientific and technical information. Many of the implications of the changes are not yet clear. Information-handling is rapidly changing from a labour-intensive industry to a capital-intensive one, as soaring man-power requirements reflect the increasing flow of information and increasing demands for timeliness, accuracy, and improved access. But the changes to be effected also have major social implications; the reasons for publication and use of information are complex, reflecting the factors of a sociological nature which are still imperfectly understood. The rate at which innovations in information- handling win acceptance from scientists is determined partly by their appreciation of the greater flexibility which the novel methods offer, but also by the sensitivity, on the part of the designers and operators of information systems, to the needs and habits of users, and to their perception of the usefulness of the newer methods. .X 116 1 327 117 1 327 175 1 327 176 1 327 254 3 327 327 11 327 389 1 327 509 1 327 568 3 327 569 2 327 619 1 327 641 1 327 668 1 327 670 1 327 671 3 327 673 1 327 677 1 327 678 1 327 679 1 327 682 1 327 689 1 327 690 1 327 692 1 327 693 1 327 694 1 327 695 2 327 698 2 327 700 1 327 704 1 327 706 3 327 707 1 327 730 1 327 738 1 327 817 1 327 833 1 327 890 3 327 1026 1 327 1044 1 327 1072 1 327 1092 3 327 1218 1 327 1292 2 327 1452 2 327 1452 2 327 .I 328 .T Current approaches to classification and clump-finding at the Cambridge Language Research Unit .A Sparck-Jones, K. Jackson, David .W Computer programs for automatic classification are a desideratum in many fields.. Work on suitable procedures for handling large bodies of object/ property descriptions has been in progress at the Cambridge Language Research Unit for some years: this paper describes the current series of general-purpose programs which have been developed there, in which classes or "clamps" of objects are obtained, using a similarity matrix, by a simple iterative scan of the universe of objects, distributing them in such a way that an appropriate cohesion function is minimized.. This actual clump-finding process is embedded in a overall package in which the information given by a classification is manipulated in a variety of ways.. The current applications of the programs, especially for information retrieval, are described.. .X 26 2 328 43 1 328 309 1 328 328 6 328 389 3 328 390 1 328 422 1 328 565 4 328 660 2 328 661 2 328 662 1 328 769 1 328 1327 1 328 1382 1 328 1382 1 328 .I 329 .T The identification of variable-length, equifrequent character strings in a natural language data base .A Clare, A.C. Cook, Elizabeth M. Lynch, M.F. .W The words of natural language texts exhibit a Poisson (or Zipfian) rank- frequency relationship, i.e., a small number of common words accounts for a large proportion of word occurrences, while a large number of the words occur as singletons or only infrequently.. Inverted-file retrieval systems using free text data bases commonly identify words as the keys or index terms about which the file is inverted, and through which access is provided.. They therefore involve large and growing dictionaries and many entail inefficient utilization of storage because of the distribution characteristics.. An alternative approach may be based on the analysis of text in terms of sets of variable-length character strings, the frequency distributions of which are much less disparate than those of words.. This could lead to substantial reductions in dictionary size, and increased efficiency both in dictionary look-up times and storage utilization. .X 19 2 329 44 1 329 57 2 329 75 1 329 176 1 329 228 3 329 229 1 329 318 2 329 321 2 329 324 1 329 329 11 329 346 1 329 359 1 329 416 4 329 442 5 329 450 4 329 495 3 329 511 6 329 521 2 329 524 2 329 536 1 329 563 1 329 565 4 329 567 3 329 572 1 329 595 1 329 596 1 329 608 1 329 619 1 329 700 2 329 791 3 329 810 1 329 812 1 329 813 1 329 814 1 329 835 1 329 851 1 329 862 1 329 867 1 329 870 1 329 872 1 329 875 3 329 894 2 329 928 1 329 963 1 329 990 1 329 991 1 329 1194 2 329 1196 1 329 1199 3 329 1255 1 329 1362 1 329 1396 1 329 1398 1 329 1413 1 329 1445 1 329 1445 1 329 .I 330 .T Computer Readable Bibliographic Data Bases -- A Directory and Data Sourcebook .A Williams, M.E. .W This document, Computer Readable Bibliographic Data Bases -- A Directory and Data Sourcebook not only updates the 1973 publication, which included information on 81 data bases, but expands the coverage to 300 data bases and includes considerably more information about the data bases.

It consists of seven chapters. The first poses the problems that have been studied, introduces background material to facilitate an understanding of their significance, and presents our conclusions and general recommendations. The remaining chapters belong to one of two parts, depending on whether their principle concern is the utility or the cost of computeerized library catalogs. Because the problem of utility is the more speculative of the two, it has been placed in the second part. .X 74 1 331 83 1 331 175 1 331 232 1 331 241 1 331 245 2 331 246 1 331 249 1 331 265 1 331 273 2 331 279 1 331 288 1 331 331 13 331 336 1 331 350 1 331 358 1 331 381 1 331 406 1 331 408 1 331 490 1 331 496 1 331 563 1 331 591 1 331 592 1 331 723 1 331 724 1 331 799 1 331 834 2 331 835 1 331 848 1 331 851 1 331 860 1 331 896 1 331 919 1 331 920 1 331 922 2 331 925 3 331 946 1 331 948 1 331 957 1 331 963 1 331 974 1 331 976 1 331 984 1 331 1033 1 331 1079 1 331 1080 1 331 1144 1 331 1148 1 331 1227 1 331 1317 1 331 1353 1 331 1359 2 331 1360 1 331 1379 1 331 1400 2 331 1403 1 331 1410 1 331 1424 1 331 1445 1 331 1445 1 331 .I 332 .T On-line Text Editing: A Survey .A Van Dam, Andries Rice, David E. .W This paper is a survey of current methods of the on-line creation and editing of computer programs and of ordinary manuscript text..

The author of this work may face the wrath of the medievalists among our fellow professional catalogers. At the least, the publication of this book should encourage a complete reappraisal of our cataloging methods, because the difference between title unit entry and author-equivalent unit entry, a confabulation of main and unit entry arising from tradition rather than practicality, can be clearly seen not only in the job classifications and job descriptions of cataloging departments, but also in our philosophy of librarianship. .X 92 1 333 141 1 333 235 1 333 246 2 333 247 1 333 299 2 333 326 1 333 333 11 333 342 1 333 449 1 333 522 1 333 530 2 333 541 2 333 553 1 333 627 2 333 628 3 333 802 1 333 819 1 333 873 1 333 874 3 333 875 2 333 876 1 333 877 1 333 878 1 333 892 2 333 904 1 333 940 2 333 941 3 333 950 2 333 991 1 333 992 1 333 993 1 333 994 1 333 995 3 333 996 1 333 997 2 333 998 1 333 999 1 333 1000 2 333 1001 1 333 1002 1 333 1003 1 333 1013 1 333 1079 3 333 1153 2 333 1189 1 333 1216 2 333 1251 1 333 1266 1 333 1351 2 333 1395 1 333 1396 1 333 1420 2 333 1421 1 333 1433 1 333 1434 3 333 1435 3 333 1436 1 333 1441 1 333 1442 2 333 1442 2 333 .I 334 .T Concepts and Subject Headings .A Christ, J.M. .W Librarians are known for their organizational work with recorded knowledge.

A search of the literature of library science reveals that these functions have not been examined to any significant degree from the users' point of view. This is true in regard to library catalogs and library subject headings. .X 90 1 334 231 1 334 261 1 334 295 1 334 299 1 334 334 5 334 354 1 334 608 1 334 610 1 334 617 1 334 620 1 334 815 1 334 938 1 334 939 1 334 991 1 334 992 1 334 1221 1 334 1318 1 334 1365 1 334 1390 1 334 1390 1 334 .I 335 .T Conceptual Basis of the Classification of Knowledge .A Wojciechowski, J.A. .W As far as philosophers are concerned, the Conference seems to be justified precisely because of the present state of the Classification of Knowledge. For two thousand years, the Classification of Knowledge has been a major philosophical problem. Lately, it has evolved from a philosophical preoccupation into a specialized technique, a species of the general techniques of classification, far removed from philosophical preoccupations and equally ignored by philosophers. At the present time there exist powerful technical models of classification and highly developed classifications of various branches of knowledge. What is lacking is a satisfactory general classification of knowledge and an adequate clarification of the philosophical problems underlying such classification. The need for clarification is important from the theoretical as well as practical point of view because the general systems of classification of knowledge depend on theories of knowledge. It is therefore highly desirable that philosophers and specialists in classification get together and discuss problems of common interest. .X 335 6 335 342 1 335 434 1 335 643 1 335 644 1 335 645 1 335 885 1 335 947 1 335 1437 1 335 1437 1 335 .I 336 .T Conceptual Design of an Automated National Library System .A Meise, N.R. .W This work describes a conceptual design of an automated national library system. The design is "conceptual" in that it is intended to show the feasibility of a system concept rather than provide a detailed engineering design. The design concerns an automated national library system but does not attempt to automate all parts of the system. It is primarily concerned with the functions of bibliographic searching, acquisition, circulation, and cataloging. If these functions can be economically automated, the major problems associated with our information explosion will be solved. .X 24 2 336 74 1 336 75 2 336 78 1 336 80 1 336 119 1 336 122 1 336 175 1 336 177 1 336 273 1 336 281 1 336 331 1 336 336 6 336 654 1 336 684 1 336 852 1 336 853 1 336 854 1 336 855 2 336 856 1 336 925 1 336 955 1 336 984 1 336 1011 3 336 1080 1 336 1144 1 336 1451 1 336 1451 1 336 .I 337 .T Conservation Library .A Conha, G.D.M. .W This volume provides an introduction to the various facets of conservation as well as bibliographical data of permanent value.

While it is offered as only the start of an on-going process of developing a nationwide program, its recommendations are the result of an intensive nine-month project, involving hundreds of persons in the library and information science fields. Many of these persons participated in mini-charettes, in a written survey, or in personal interviews which addressed major issues such as: certification; organizational and individual incentives for continuing education; educational methods; and continuing education needs. The contribution of these library personnel cannot be overstated. Their collective wisdom and perspective have led the Project team to many of its major recommendations. However, as would be expected when such a large number of people are involved, there were differences of opinion, even as there are many differences of opinion reflected in the literature of continuing education emanating from the various professions. In the present study, most of these differences related to the input into and control over the policies of the national structure. Three alternative models which have been considered are outlined in Appendix D; alternatives to several specific features of the recommended model are presented at the end of Chapter 4. Throughout the text, when issues are presented on which there is uncertainty because of the intensity of opinions expressed, these areas are identified. .X 128 1 339 130 1 339 171 1 339 191 1 339 230 1 339 339 6 339 370 1 339 371 1 339 376 1 339 387 3 339 453 1 339 629 1 339 648 1 339 652 1 339 923 1 339 924 1 339 1376 1 339 1403 3 339 1423 1 339 1457 1 339 1457 1 339 .I 340 .T Cooperation Between Types of Libraries .A Stenstrom, R.H. .W This bibliography uses the traditional typology of libraries as its starting point - public, school, academic-research, and special libraries. This classification is most commonly used and provides a sufficiently clear distinction for the purposes of this work. Public libraries are those which are free to all residents of the library's district and supported primarily from general public funds or taxes levied for library purposes. Local public libraries, systems of public libraries, and state library agencies are included in this category. School libraries are those maintained by the governing boards of schools whether they be public, private, or parochial. School libraries at the elementary, junior high school, and senior high school level are included. Academic-research libraries include the libraries of institutions of higher education, both public and private, as well as libraries which, while they might be defined as either public or special, are widely known for their research resources. Junior college libraries, college libraries, university libraries, and technical school libraries are included as academic libraries. The Library of Congress, the Newberry Library, and Linda Hall Library are examples of nonacademic research libraries. Special libraries are those directed toward making information available to people within a particular organization with fairly well-defined information needs. Business and industrial libraries and the libraries of nonprofit organizations are common examples. While distinctions between research and special libraries are not always easily made, it is felt that in the case of this bibliography, no serious problems are created. .X 214 1 340 218 1 340 250 1 340 340 8 340 348 1 340 375 1 340 431 3 340 855 1 340 910 1 340 937 1 340 939 2 340 955 1 340 986 1 340 1009 1 340 1012 1 340 1188 1 340 1236 1 340 1247 1 340 1354 1 340 1379 1 340 1390 1 340 1424 1 340 1424 1 340 .I 341 .T Copying Methods Manual .A Hawken, N.R. .W The current need for a manual of copying methods dealing with the processes, methods, techniques, and types of equipment which can be used for reproducing documents of a great many different kinds arises from two factors: (1) The great importance of document reproduction processes in the acquisition, preservation, dissemination, and communication of information vital to the conduct of research work in all fields of human endeavor and on an international scale. (2) The complexity of the field of document reproduction today which has resulted from the enormous technical advances made in the past fifteen years. The need for the coining of the new class word - reprography (an unfortunate graft of a Latin fragment on a Greek root) - is in itself indicative of the great changes that have come about. Processes and methods which formerly were discrete and distinctive have now become intricately interrelated. New processes and combinations of processes with different and astonishing capabilities continue to appear. This revolution in the document copying field has been powerfully augmented by intensive competition on the part of manufacturers for a share of the vast and lucrative office-records copying field. The results, however, have led to highly important applications in the reproduction of research materials as well. .X 56 1 341 341 5 341 1269 1 341 1371 1 341 1371 1 341 .I 342 .T Corporate Headings: Their use in library cataloguing and national bibliographics: A comparative and critical study .A Verona, E. .W This study is an attempt to submit to a critical analysis the main problems related to corporate headings, the difficulties raised by them and the solutions which now prevail in various countries. In order to make the differences existing between the various solutions and the unsatisfactory character revealed by many of them more evident, a great number of examples in a variety of languages, extracted from cataloguing codes, national bibliographies, printed lists of corporate headings have been added. These examples are also intended to draw attention to differences existing with regard to various technical details, such as punctuation, capitalization, transliteration, etc. In addition, many of these examples will clearly prove that certain solutions which may be considered to be suitable for one country or one language would not satisfy the requirements of another country or another language. In the study, examination and analysis of codes has been complemented by references to professional literature on the subject available to the author, and by an analysis of opinions expressed there. Special attention has been paid to comparisons of cataloguing practices and citation usages, and to investigations of the users' approach to corporate headings. It is well understood and appreciated that, for the catalogue user, the identification of and search for corporate headings present more problems than any other type of heading. Unfortunately, however, professional literature has as yet paid insufficient attention to these problems. .X 333 1 342 335 1 342 342 15 342 434 1 342 643 1 342 644 1 342 645 1 342 885 1 342 888 1 342 920 1 342 947 1 342 1001 1 342 1004 1 342 1324 1 342 1437 1 342 1437 1 342 .I 343 .T A Criticism and the Growth of Knowledge .A Kuhn, T.J. .W On almost all the occasions when we turn explicitly to the same problems, Sir Karl's view of science and my own are very nearly identical. We are both concerned with the dynamic process by which scientific knowledge is acquired rather than with the logical structure of the products of scientific research. Given that concern, both of us emphasize, as legitimate data the facts and also the spirit of actual scientific life, and both of us turn often to history to find them. From this pool of shared data, we draw many of the same conclusions. Both of us reject the view that science progresses by accretion; both emphasize instead the revolutionary process by which an older theory is rejected and replaced by an incompatible new one; and both deeply underscore the role played in this process by the older theory's occasional failure to meet challenges posed by logic, experiment, or observation. Finally, Sir Karl and I are united in opposition to a number of classical positivism's most characteristic theses. We both emphasize, for example, the intimate and inevitable entanglement of scientific observation with scientific theory; we are correspondingly sceptical of efforts to produce any neutral observation language; and we both insist that scientists may properly aim to invent theories that explain observed phenomena and that do so in terms of real objects, whatever the latter phrase may mean. .X 100 1 343 101 2 343 102 1 343 343 13 343 391 1 343 417 1 343 438 1 343 514 1 343 546 1 343 606 1 343 610 1 343 611 1 343 612 1 343 626 1 343 1063 1 343 1187 1 343 1271 3 343 1272 2 343 1289 1 343 1296 1 343 1310 2 343 1311 2 343 1314 1 343 1339 1 343 1340 1 343 1345 1 343 1386 4 343 1387 2 343 1387 2 343 .I 344 .T Current Problems in Reference Service .A Galvin, T.J. .W Current Problems in Reference Service is a collection of thirty-five new problem case studies intended for instructional use in both formal and informal teaching-learning situations in the field of librarianship. .X 344 5 344 344 5 344 .I 345 .T Data Bases; Computers, and the Social Sciences .A Bisco, R.L. .W This book was written with several diverse audiences in mind: (1) social and behavioral scientists and their students, (2) librarians and library-science students who are favorable about employing computers and computer-usable information in their work and classes, and (3) archivists and their employees who desire to have more than a current overview of the problems and their tentative solutions. Because of the diversity of material, it is not expected that all readers will use the book in the same way.

Our topic is therefore a special sort of change, the change brought about in acquiring or keeping or transmitting elements of knowledge. .X 29 1 346 68 1 346 69 1 346 148 2 346 175 1 346 261 1 346 329 1 346 346 7 346 382 1 346 458 1 346 476 1 346 477 1 346 478 1 346 479 1 346 480 1 346 484 1 346 485 1 346 566 1 346 680 1 346 704 1 346 781 1 346 802 1 346 1053 1 346 1118 1 346 1175 1 346 1309 1 346 1309 1 346 .I 347 .T CAS computer-Based Information Services .A Davenport, W.C. .W This paper describes the key points that characterize CAS' approach to large scale scientific-technical information systems that must handle over 100,000 documents per year. The first of these points is the "single analysis/multiple use" concept. Intellectual ability is a rare commodity and essential to an information service. Therefore, it makes sense to conserve that commodity and not use manpower to perform repetitive jobs or to waste effort analyzing information. .X 150 1 347 165 1 347 175 1 347 252 2 347 254 1 347 347 6 347 355 1 347 371 1 347 452 1 347 465 1 347 480 1 347 641 1 347 671 1 347 673 1 347 676 1 347 681 1 347 682 1 347 683 1 347 687 1 347 689 1 347 704 1 347 714 1 347 716 1 347 717 1 347 718 1 347 719 1 347 1010 1 347 1452 1 347 1460 1 347 1460 1 347 .I 348 .T A Regional Network - Ohio college Library Center .A Kilgour, F.G. .W The Ohio College Library Center is developing a computerized, user-oriented, library system that will improve efficiency of library use and operations; that will increase availability of library resources within a region; and that will facilitate evolution of new and easier accesses to information in libraries. The center does not conceive of its task as being merely the mechanization of library procedures of the past. For the immediate future, the principal academic objective of the center is to increase the availability of library resources for use in educational and research programs in colleges and universities throughout Ohio. A more distant objective is to enable libraries to participate actively in the programs of instruction and research in their institutions. The passive service functions that libraries have developed during the past century are proving inadequate to meet the present demands made of libraries, and will be increasingly inadequate in the future. The per-student costs of libraries are rising somewhat more than twice as rapidly as unit-cost rises in the general economy. Therefore, the principal economic goal of the Ohio College Library Center is to decelerate the rate of rise of per-student costs, so that the rate of increase will approximate that of the economy as a whole. .X 63 1 348 90 1 348 159 1 348 175 1 348 177 1 348 214 1 348 218 1 348 250 1 348 287 2 348 340 1 348 348 11 348 375 1 348 389 1 348 390 1 348 406 1 348 408 2 348 487 1 348 502 1 348 546 1 348 554 1 348 579 1 348 582 1 348 583 1 348 584 1 348 585 1 348 596 1 348 600 1 348 601 1 348 654 1 348 655 1 348 797 1 348 798 1 348 799 2 348 805 1 348 807 1 348 834 1 348 849 1 348 851 1 348 855 1 348 856 1 348 857 1 348 858 2 348 859 3 348 860 1 348 861 2 348 862 1 348 863 1 348 864 1 348 868 1 348 872 1 348 897 1 348 916 1 348 954 1 348 956 1 348 963 1 348 979 1 348 986 1 348 987 1 348 988 1 348 989 1 348 1007 1 348 1012 2 348 1013 1 348 1035 1 348 1152 1 348 1188 1 348 1196 1 348 1197 1 348 1265 1 348 1294 1 348 1327 1 348 1333 1 348 1362 1 348 1363 1 348 1366 1 348 1379 1 348 1445 1 348 1445 1 348 .I 349 .T Decision Analysis: Introductory Lectures on Choices Under Uncertainty .A Raiffa, H. .W These lectures do not present a descriptive theory of actual behavior. Neither do they present a positive theory of behavior for a superintelligent, fictitious being; nowhere in our analysis shall we refer to the behavior of an "idealized, rational, and economic man," a man who always acts in a perfectly consistent manner as if somehow there were embedded in his nature a coherent set of evaluation patterns that cover any and all eventualities. Rather, the approach we take prescribes how an individual who is faced with a problem of choice under uncertainty should go about choosing a course of action that is consistent with his personal basic judgements and preferences. He must consciously police the consistency of his subjective inputs and calculate their implications for action. Such an approach is designed to help us reason and act a bit more systematically - when we choose to do so! .X 349 6 349 423 1 349 425 1 349 561 1 349 561 1 349 .I 350 .T The Design of Inquiring Systems .A Churchman, C.W. .W "Design" is used throughout in its most generic sense, to include planning, operations research, engineering design, architectural design, programming, budgeting, and all the other activities in which we consciously attempt to change ourselves and our environment to improve the quality of our lives. So the book could be read as a philosophy of organization theory, or of architectural or engineering design, or of operations research, or of planning. The word "inquiry" suggests that the audience includes persons interested in the philosophy of science; this is true, so long as the interest is a very broad one, concerned with the meaning of science with respect to other social institutions, health, education, morality, and so on. Inquiry is by no means restricted to the disciplines of science. I could have called the book The Design of Systems, but this would not adequately reflect my style, which is to proceed from the more specific problem of inquiry to the "whole system." .X 66 1 350 245 1 350 249 1 350 331 1 350 350 5 350 401 1 350 435 1 350 455 1 350 621 1 350 925 1 350 963 1 350 1270 1 350 1400 1 350 1402 1 350 1456 1 350 1456 1 350 .I 351 .T Deterioration and Preservation of Library Materials .A Winger, H.W. .W The deterioration of library materials, constant since libraries began, has accelerated to alarming proportions in 1969. Researchers have predicted that all paper-based records of this century, as well as those of earlier years,face imminent ruin. Without new and effective efforts for their preservation, most will not be usable in their present form in the next century. The danger of destruction threatens not only research library collections but also the world of knowledge and scholarship that they support. For not only paper is involved. Similar dangers of destruction confront other cellulosic products, such as film, which may substitute for paper as the material base of records. And not only research libraries are involved. The surprisingly rapid deterioration of printed materials, even those that have been produced with some eye to permanence, creates problems and expenses for other libraries as well. .X 264 2 351 286 1 351 337 1 351 351 8 351 1029 2 351 1029 2 351 .I 352 .T Developing Multi-Media Libraries .A Hicks, W.B. .W This book presents the concept of the modern library as a comprehensive resource center. The philosophy and objectives of the center are clarified, and desirable practices in the selection and acquisition of nonbook or audiovisual materials - interchangeably defined as those materials that communicate primarily through aural and visual stimuli - are recommended, along with information pertinent to facilitating these tasks. Their organization in general in discussed, with emphasis on the necessity for basic decisions and policies. Cataloging and physical processing are treated in particular, demonstrating that accepted library practices can be flexible enough to allow adaptation for both the individual library and its specific clientele. Realistic methods of handling the many different kinds of nonbook materials are demonstrated by treating each type separately. Many easy-to- follow cataloging examples are presented; and, consistent with established library routine, practical information is provided on selection, acquisition, physical processing, storage, and equipment. Work-flow charts are included to present a graphic demonstration of efficient procedures. .X 231 2 352 352 6 352 383 1 352 911 1 352 992 1 352 1152 1 352 1153 1 352 1189 1 352 1189 1 352 .I 353 .T The Development of Reference Services through Academic Traditions, Public Library Practice and Special Librarianship .A Rothstein, S. .W Modern American library history has received only sporadic attention as a subject for investigation. Though we have now accumulated an adequate supply of source materials to draw upon in the form of annual reports, service studies, biographical accounts, and chronicles of individual libraries, no one has yet fashioned out of these materials a critical history of American librarianship. To paraphrase Leo LaMontagne, we have salvaged remnants from the past, but we have yet to convert them into history. The lack has cost the profession dearly. Even a casual survey of the literature of librarianship reveals the shocking degree of duplication and naivete that stem from an insufficient awareness of previous efforts. There is clearly room and need for a series of evaluative studies of the development of American library services which could eventually be put together to form the desired definitive history of American librarianship. The present dissertation is intended as a contribution toward that end. It undertakes to furnish the historical background for one of the continuing problems of American librarianship - the provision of reference services in research libraries. .X 7 1 353 262 1 353 298 1 353 303 1 353 353 5 353 365 1 353 927 1 353 1008 1 353 1068 1 353 1203 1 353 1211 2 353 1212 1 353 1231 1 353 1247 1 353 1266 1 353 1425 1 353 1425 1 353 .I 354 .T Dewey Decimal Classification .A Dewey, M. .W The schedules of Edition 18, like those of 17, are based on the principle of subject integrity. Both the subject matter and the notation are hierarchical, so that what is true of a given whole is true of all its parts. The schedules are developed according to logical principles, so that the classifier is guided to make correct decisions. The terminology of the classification scheme reflects the terminology used by the literature being classified. For ease of use, this edition includes many more example notes, more detailed and precise instructions, and freer use of layman's terminology than did its immediate predecessor. Since this edition is intended for use as a shelf-arrangement system for general libraries of all sizes, its fulness is based upon the number of titles that large libraries may be expected to acquire in various fields. Since it is also intended for use in classified catalogs and bibliographies (for which the Dewey Decimal Classification is increasingly in demand in many countries), it contains an increased number of provisions for number building. .X 90 1 354 231 1 354 261 2 354 295 1 354 299 1 354 334 1 354 354 6 354 404 1 354 608 1 354 610 1 354 617 1 354 620 1 354 815 1 354 874 1 354 884 1 354 887 1 354 892 1 354 938 1 354 939 1 354 991 1 354 992 2 354 998 1 354 1221 1 354 1318 1 354 1351 1 354 1365 1 354 1390 1 354 1395 1 354 1395 1 354 .I 355 .T Diffusion of Abstract and Indexing Services for Government - Sponsored Research .A Klempner, I.M. .W During the last several decades, science and technology have undergone a drastic transformation. The enormity and depth of this transformation can be measured in many ways. It can be measured in terms of the number of students enrolled in graduate and undergraduate schools offering degrees in the physical and applied sciences, in terms of the number of new devices, products and innovations introduced into the military establishment and into the civilian sector of our economy, in terms of the number of scientists and engineers employed by industry and public and private institutions, in terms of the amounts of money expended annually on research and development, in terms of the number of technical reports, books, journals, papers, reprints, and conference proceedings stemming from these expenditures, and in many other ways. .X 59 1 355 63 1 355 137 1 355 138 1 355 147 1 355 175 1 355 210 1 355 241 1 355 347 1 355 355 7 355 382 3 355 458 1 355 481 1 355 482 1 355 716 1 355 717 1 355 718 2 355 719 2 355 763 1 355 788 1 355 980 1 355 986 1 355 1010 1 355 1037 1 355 1042 1 355 1045 1 355 1050 1 355 1051 1 355 1254 2 355 1291 1 355 1404 1 355 1410 1 355 1415 1 355 1426 1 355 1426 1 355 .I 356 .T Diffusion of Innovations .A Rogers, E. .W This book is directed both to advanced college students enrolled in sociology courses and to students of the other social sciences (such as anthropology, economics, history, and psychology) who are concerned with diffusion. (For this reason, sociological concepts are defined when they are introduced.) More than five hundred publications on the diffusion of innovations are reviewed here. The innovations studied range from new drugs among physicians to hand tools among primitive tribes, and from driver training among public high schools to hybrid corn among farmers. Although a generally consistent set of findings has emerged from these studies, a search of the literature shows little attempt to summarize and evaluate available results and theories on the spread of ideas. This volume synthesizes these findings and theories. .X 15 1 356 89 2 356 102 1 356 105 3 356 110 1 356 111 1 356 113 2 356 139 1 356 147 1 356 155 1 356 157 1 356 161 1 356 163 1 356 243 1 356 312 3 356 314 1 356 356 11 356 391 1 356 426 1 356 436 3 356 437 2 356 475 1 356 544 2 356 545 1 356 560 3 356 582 1 356 592 1 356 602 1 356 607 1 356 656 1 356 658 1 356 685 1 356 1030 2 356 1036 1 356 1041 1 356 1050 3 356 1062 1 356 1154 1 356 1186 1 356 1187 2 356 1256 1 356 1284 1 356 1285 1 356 1288 1 356 1290 1 356 1291 2 356 1293 2 356 1294 1 356 1295 1 356 1296 2 356 1297 1 356 1298 1 356 1300 1 356 1319 1 356 1321 1 356 1333 2 356 1346 3 356 1347 1 356 1386 2 356 1406 1 356 1407 1 356 1407 1 356 .I 357 .T Directory of Data Base in the Social and Behavioral Sciences .A Sessions, V.S. .W As one of the early members of the computer community, I have been keenly interested in the development of quantitative methodologies in the social and behavioral sciences, and their encouragement by the data processing environment. The economists, with an already established mathematical orientation, were among the earliest beneficiaries of the machine technology that enhances their ability to construct the test models of economic behavior. Today, statistical methods have so affected many disciplines that it is not unusual for doctoral programs to accept statistical techniques as a substitute for one foreign language. Similarly, the ability to program in an appropriate language is also frequently as acceptable as French or German in providing the research skills needed by doctoral students at The City University of New York and at other universities. The chief function of this directory, in terms of academic supplies of data, is not to reinventory the social science data archives that are well-known to the academic community, not to duplicate the announcements of holdings that they themselves make available to their members. The reason for mentioning them and indicating the nature of their holdings is to make this kind of data resource known to those researchers, either in or out of the university, who are not sufficiently aware of these important resources. .X 18 1 357 127 1 357 130 1 357 145 1 357 357 6 357 376 1 357 459 2 357 524 1 357 525 1 357 527 1 357 529 1 357 530 1 357 534 1 357 611 1 357 612 1 357 633 1 357 635 1 357 636 1 357 637 1 357 642 1 357 702 1 357 703 1 357 710 1 357 730 1 357 732 1 357 733 1 357 734 1 357 736 1 357 826 1 357 827 1 357 877 1 357 879 2 357 993 2 357 1370 1 357 1372 1 357 1383 1 357 1396 2 357 1396 2 357 .I 358 .T The Disadvantaged and Library Effectiveness .A Lipsman, c.K. .W The report is concerned with the social utility of libraries and with the factors that appear to be requirements for effective programs. In the absence of established standards or criteria for measuring program effectiveness, we have substituted a comparative analysis of a number of programs based on detailed observation of the program process; a survey of needs and interests of the target groups, both users and nonusers; and an assessment of the library's role in the target neighborhood as it is perceived by other community institutions serving the same groups. Thus a basis for comparisons and for judgements has been introduced which provides a foundation for suggestions as to the direction in which programs of service to the disadvantaged might move. To achieve the study objectives, library programs and practices in low-income neighborhoods were examined in a number of cities. In each of fifteen cities data were collected through interview and observation in four subject areas: (1) the needs and interests of the community residents, (2) library services in relation to other available community resources, (3) the nature and scope of the neighborhood library program and its relation to the rest of the library system, and (4) available measures of the impact or effectiveness of the program. .X 9 1 358 10 1 358 161 1 358 190 1 358 207 1 358 208 1 358 222 1 358 223 1 358 225 1 358 232 1 358 239 2 358 241 1 358 244 1 358 295 1 358 296 1 358 297 1 358 298 1 358 300 2 358 301 1 358 302 1 358 304 1 358 305 1 358 306 1 358 331 1 358 358 16 358 364 1 358 385 2 358 394 1 358 406 1 358 433 2 358 459 1 358 515 1 358 534 1 358 535 1 358 624 1 358 625 1 358 629 1 358 631 2 358 634 1 358 702 1 358 731 1 358 732 1 358 791 1 358 811 1 358 816 1 358 817 1 358 818 1 358 820 1 358 823 2 358 825 1 358 826 1 358 827 1 358 828 1 358 843 1 358 844 1 358 846 1 358 896 1 358 908 1 358 915 1 358 937 2 358 946 5 358 947 1 358 948 2 358 961 1 358 962 1 358 964 1 358 994 1 358 1005 4 358 1015 1 358 1017 1 358 1018 2 358 1032 1 358 1033 1 358 1056 4 358 1058 1 358 1079 1 358 1145 2 358 1146 1 358 1227 1 358 1230 1 358 1240 2 358 1242 1 358 1247 1 358 1257 1 358 1268 1 358 1354 1 358 1373 1 358 1379 1 358 1384 1 358 1390 1 358 1403 1 358 1403 1 358 .I 359 .T Documentation .A Bradford, S.C. .B 1948 .W More than half a century ago La Fontaine and Otlet started their lives' work, which at first was connected with the term "bibliography," but to which gradually the work "Documentation" was attributed. What they developed was of a far wider scope than the establishment of a new technique dealing with printed and non-printed documents. The great deal which inspired them, and those who worked side by side with them, was to render accessible the totality of what is crystallized from human thought and to make of it a common treasure of mankind, serving to bring mutual comprehension and to build for peace by the co-operation of all men of goodwill of all nations. It was in this spirit that my friend Bradford joined those men, whose noble faces have passed and to whom it never was given to see the achievement of the work to which they devoted their lives. And it was in this spirit that Bradford, thanks to his knowledge and experience as scientist as well as librarian, not only gave his strong and valuable support to the common work but added to it fundamental and constructive new elements. Just for this reason the present book we owe to him gives far more than a mere compilation of facts and experiences. Such a compilation would indeed be welcome because, curiously enough, up to now, there is no good general treatise on documentation available. But his book gives us before all things an abundance of original ideas and creative thoughts. .X 19 1 359 31 1 359 36 1 359 37 1 359 39 1 359 40 1 359 41 1 359 44 2 359 47 1 359 55 1 359 57 2 359 62 3 359 76 1 359 81 1 359 88 1 359 89 1 359 97 1 359 98 1 359 100 1 359 102 1 359 103 1 359 107 1 359 111 1 359 131 2 359 133 1 359 136 1 359 138 1 359 140 1 359 149 1 359 162 1 359 167 1 359 175 1 359 184 1 359 189 1 359 193 1 359 195 1 359 196 1 359 201 2 359 203 1 359 204 1 359 205 1 359 210 1 359 215 1 359 219 1 359 221 2 359 228 1 359 229 1 359 233 2 359 253 1 359 255 1 359 267 1 359 313 1 359 314 1 359 329 1 359 359 33 359 373 1 359 377 1 359 378 1 359 379 2 359 382 1 359 395 2 359 415 1 359 416 3 359 475 1 359 487 1 359 494 1 359 505 3 359 511 1 359 515 1 359 560 1 359 573 4 359 587 2 359 602 1 359 616 1 359 618 2 359 625 1 359 632 1 359 634 1 359 635 2 359 667 2 359 700 1 359 744 1 359 748 10 359 749 1 359 750 2 359 751 7 359 756 1 359 759 5 359 764 1 359 765 9 359 767 3 359 775 1 359 776 1 359 777 1 359 778 12 359 782 1 359 787 5 359 788 1 359 791 6 359 792 2 359 793 1 359 800 2 359 804 3 359 805 1 359 872 1 359 893 5 359 905 1 359 915 1 359 925 1 359 952 2 359 961 1 359 1016 5 359 1019 1 359 1030 1 359 1055 1 359 1061 1 359 1062 1 359 1071 2 359 1076 1 359 1081 2 359 1082 2 359 1083 8 359 1084 1 359 1085 13 359 1086 8 359 1087 2 359 1090 3 359 1097 1 359 1098 1 359 1114 1 359 1122 1 359 1147 1 359 1157 1 359 1173 3 359 1182 5 359 1196 1 359 1200 1 359 1201 3 359 1203 1 359 1226 1 359 1274 1 359 1275 1 359 1277 1 359 1278 2 359 1280 1 359 1282 1 359 1285 1 359 1287 1 359 1291 1 359 1296 1 359 1301 2 359 1302 7 359 1304 1 359 1313 1 359 1317 1 359 1338 1 359 1344 1 359 1347 1 359 1352 1 359 1380 1 359 1401 1 359 1417 1 359 1418 1 359 1428 1 359 1444 1 359 1444 1 359 .I 360 .T Documentation .A Bradford, S.C. .B 1950 .W The current need for a manual of copying methods dealing with the processes, methods, techniques, and types of equipment which can be used for reproducing documents of a great many different kinds arises from two factors: (1) The great importance of document reproduction processes in the acquisition, preservation, dissemination, and communication of information vital to the conduct of research work in all fields of human endeavor and on an international scale.

How should the library allocate its book budget? What kinds of books should it tend to buy? What types of households use the library? Why do some households not use the library? What is the cost of the various services provided by the library? What specific steps can the library take to improve its services? What are the library's options in choosing among the different circulation systems? For how long should the library allow books to be checked out? How frequently should overdue notices be sent out? Is an investment in a security system worthwhile? We have studied these questions in the context of one public library - the Beverly Hills (California) Public Library - and have developed a methodology for determining answers to them, as well as to other questions that arose during our investigation. Although answers will vary from library to library, our methodology is quite general and should prove useful at many public libraries. .X 4 1 364 5 2 364 9 1 364 115 1 364 207 2 364 217 1 364 222 1 364 223 1 364 234 1 364 243 1 364 245 2 364 249 1 364 296 1 364 297 1 364 298 1 364 300 1 364 301 1 364 302 1 364 358 1 364 364 6 364 365 1 364 385 1 364 470 1 364 515 1 364 535 1 364 598 1 364 625 1 364 629 1 364 631 1 364 634 1 364 764 1 364 766 1 364 779 1 364 791 1 364 811 3 364 816 3 364 818 2 364 823 2 364 842 1 364 843 1 364 844 1 364 846 1 364 915 1 364 925 2 364 944 1 364 948 1 364 959 1 364 960 1 364 961 2 364 962 2 364 964 2 364 994 1 364 1008 1 364 1015 1 364 1023 1 364 1242 1 364 1247 1 364 1257 1 364 1263 1 364 1268 1 364 1353 1 364 1354 1 364 1400 1 364 1403 1 364 1403 1 364 .I 365 .T Economics of the Academic Libraries .A Baumol, W.J. .W This volume represents what we believe to be as complete and thorough an analysis as possible of the available economic data on college and university libraries. In the course of our study, we have examined the data for comprehensiveness and consistency; we have investigated their intertemporal behavior, both as a basis for projection and as an instrument for long-range planning; and we have constructed a set of analytic interrelationships which permit us to derive statistical estimates of the interrelations of some of the most critical economic variables relating to library operations. In particular, in the course of this last step, we have provided relationships explaining statistically the determination of such variables as the size of libraries' budgets and the magnitude of their professional staffs. .X 5 1 365 115 1 365 119 1 365 122 1 365 141 1 365 172 1 365 234 1 365 244 1 365 245 1 365 249 1 365 250 1 365 262 1 365 299 1 365 353 1 365 364 1 365 365 10 365 394 1 365 408 1 365 453 2 365 526 1 365 528 1 365 529 1 365 612 1 365 630 1 365 652 1 365 764 1 365 811 1 365 816 1 365 818 1 365 822 1 365 823 1 365 825 1 365 842 1 365 854 1 365 856 1 365 871 1 365 872 2 365 873 1 365 874 1 365 875 1 365 876 1 365 877 1 365 878 1 365 879 1 365 880 1 365 886 1 365 888 1 365 892 1 365 913 1 365 925 1 365 938 1 365 940 2 365 941 1 365 943 1 365 944 1 365 948 1 365 963 1 365 974 1 365 984 1 365 990 1 365 994 1 365 997 1 365 998 1 365 1004 1 365 1023 1 365 1068 1 365 1079 1 365 1143 2 365 1203 1 365 1211 1 365 1212 1 365 1230 1 365 1247 1 365 1257 3 365 1258 1 365 1264 1 365 1266 1 365 1303 1 365 1317 1 365 1367 1 365 1396 1 365 1425 1 365 1433 1 365 1435 2 365 1436 2 365 1441 1 365 1441 1 365 .I 366 .T Economics of Approval Plans .A Spyersduran, P. .W Current budget strains on college and university libraries require a stepped-up search for operating economies. The timely topic of economics of approval plans of the Third International Conference on Approval and Gathering Plans for Large and Medium Size Academic Libraries, held at the Ramada Inn, West Palm Beach, Florida, February 17-19, 1971, has thus generated considerable interest. The papers published here constitute, by and large, original research in this area. The importance of these contributions can hardly be overestimated, since they will no doubt mold and influence collection development practices in the current imprint area. .X 366 6 366 1057 1 366 1221 1 366 1269 1 366 1269 1 366 .I 367 .T Economics of Book Storage .A Ellsworth, R.E. .W This report attempts to present and interpret current (Winter 1968-69) information on the economics of book storage in relation to the other factors a university administrator must consider in developing a program for housing an ever-growing book collection when there are present or future limitations on space and money. The study will attempt to answer two specific questions: 1) Is it economical for colleges and universities to select so-called little-used books from the regular bookstacks and store them elsewhere? 2) Is the cost factor the only one a university need consider in adopting a storage program; and, if not, how is cost related to the others? The facts and conclusions in this report are based on the library book storage situation as of 1969. Innovations in computer applications and other technologies could presumably change the nature of some of the cost factors, but it is the author's opinion that these changes unlikely to occur within the next 5 to 10 years. .X 33 1 367 46 1 367 367 7 367 759 1 367 767 1 367 977 1 367 983 1 367 1030 1 367 1211 1 367 1211 1 367 .I 368 .T Economies and Computers .A Sharpe, W.F. .W It is not a simple matter to describe this book. Briefly, it attempts to provide and apply a set of concepts from economic theory that may prove valuable to those who are now or may become decision- makers in the selection, financing, and/or use of computers. Only theory relevant for such decision-makers is presented here. This means that the effects of computers on the economy as a whole lie outside the scope of this book, as do a number of related issues. We deal, thus, with microeconomic, not macroeconomic, theory: our focus is on the small (industry, firm, computer) and not the large (gross national product, consumer price index, unemployment). .X 5 1 368 90 1 368 91 1 368 158 1 368 222 1 368 223 1 368 368 5 368 435 1 368 615 1 368 815 1 368 957 1 368 1023 1 368 1219 1 368 1227 1 368 1365 1 368 1390 1 368 1390 1 368 .I 369 .T Economics of Defense in the Nuclear Age .A Hitch, C.J. .W The purpose of this book is to explain a way of looking at military problems which we and others with whom we have been associated have found fruitful in insights and productive of solutions. Essentially we regard all military problems as, in one of their aspects, economic problems in the efficient allocation and use of resources. We believe that this way of looking at military problems goes far toward reconciling the apparent conflict of views between the officers and officials who are responsible for defense and the officials and Congressmen whose primary interest is economy - except in determining the over-all size of the military budget, where conflict between these points of view is inevitable. .X 83 1 369 273 1 369 369 5 369 382 1 369 717 1 369 1151 1 369 1227 1 369 1406 1 369 1449 1 369 1449 1 369 .I 370 .T Educating the Library User .A Lubans, J. .W Educating the Library User is a collection of original essays, case studies, and research reports on the problems, hopes, and techniques of instructing library users and nonusers, from the kindergartener to the preschool adult, in the effective use of libraries and their resources. Merging the library-use teachings of school, public, and academic libraries, this book demonstrates the need for a consistent, sequential plan of library-use instruction that crosses traditional library boundaries. .X 128 1 370 130 1 370 191 1 370 274 1 370 339 1 370 370 11 370 376 1 370 387 1 370 453 1 370 629 1 370 648 2 370 652 1 370 768 1 370 774 1 370 818 2 370 839 1 370 847 3 370 1068 1 370 1246 2 370 1263 1 370 1376 1 370 1403 1 370 1457 1 370 1457 1 370 .I 371 .T Education and Training for Scientific and Technological Library and Information Work .A Schur, M. .W The exponential growth of the literature of science and technology is a phenomenon which scientists have been living with for the past 300 years. It is in the nature of such growth that its effect is recognized only slowly, but when a critical point is reached its consequences can be overwhelming. In science information this point has now been reached. To take but one field, chemistry, it took well over two centuries for the first million papers to be published, and over 30 years, from 1907 to 1938, for the first million to be abstracted in Chemical Abstracts. We are now at the stage where one million papers have been abstracted in a five-year period - 1962-1967 - and before 1975 the point will have been reached where one million papers, equal to the output of the whole pre-war generation of chemists, will be published and abstracted in a single year. The first scientific serial began publication in 1665. Some 290 years later, in 1956, the Science Museum Library was receiving 9,000 current scientific serials. Within only a further 11 years the National Lending Library for Science and Technology (N.L.L.) was receiving over three times this number. The growth in the use of scientific literature is no less spectacular. Thus, for example, in 1930 the number of loans by the Science Museum Library was 10,000. In 1967 the N.L.L., which had taken over the national lending function of the Science Museum Library, lent well over half-a-million items, a total exceeding that of all the loans by the Science Museum Library between 1929 and 1947 (a period which itself saw the discovery of nuclear fission and its application for peaceful uses, enormous progress in antibiotics, developments in synthetic materials and great advances in all branches of science and technology). There are some signs that the rate of increase implied in these examples may not be maintained, but any flattening-out that may develop will be at a very high level indeed. .X 2 1 371 22 1 371 60 1 371 150 1 371 243 1 371 272 1 371 339 1 371 347 1 371 371 13 371 382 1 371 387 1 371 465 1 371 466 1 371 475 1 371 480 2 371 658 1 371 681 1 371 682 1 371 704 1 371 716 1 371 717 1 371 760 1 371 770 1 371 776 1 371 839 1 371 844 1 371 923 1 371 924 1 371 967 1 371 1403 1 371 1404 1 371 1404 1 371 .I 372 .T Efficiency of the Scientific Information .A Kozenko, A.V. .W This book considers basic tendency of the development of information science, theoretically proves necessity and feasibility (possibility) of determining the economical effectiveness of scientific-technical information. .X 372 9 372 1096 1 372 1100 3 372 1156 1 372 1161 1 372 1191 2 372 1191 2 372 .I 373 .T Some User Requirements Stated Quantitatively in Terms of the 90 Percent Library .A Bourne, C.P. .W Librarians, publishers, and information system engineers have very little verified information and few guidelines to describe the user's specific requirements for information. Such information is needed to properly design or evaluate the information systems. To date, most of the statements of requirements have been rather subjective, and often reflect opinion rather than actual fact. Relatively little objective data have been obtained. This is probably due in large part to the fact that there are extremely difficult methodological problems in trying to determine and state user requirements in a meaningful manner. This paper suggests an approach or point of view that might help this situation by providing a method of phrasing the statements of user requirements in a more convenient and meaningful manner. This paper also furnishes several examples of such statements, and discusses the techniques and data that support these statements. In this paper, attention is initially focused on the information requirements of workers in the field of science and technology, with no serious attempt made to include workers in other fields. However, it seems quite likely that the approach, and perhaps even the stated principles, could be extended and generalized to cover other fields of knowledge. .X 31 1 373 33 2 373 36 1 373 41 1 373 89 1 373 97 1 373 102 1 373 111 1 373 112 1 373 163 1 373 183 1 373 184 1 373 193 1 373 199 1 373 201 3 373 203 3 373 210 1 373 225 1 373 269 1 373 359 1 373 373 6 373 379 1 373 475 1 373 545 1 373 552 1 373 587 1 373 605 1 373 613 1 373 614 1 373 638 1 373 735 1 373 747 1 373 748 1 373 750 1 373 753 1 373 766 1 373 767 1 373 775 2 373 782 1 373 784 1 373 788 1 373 789 1 373 793 1 373 800 1 373 808 1 373 889 1 373 905 1 373 953 1 373 977 3 373 983 1 373 1016 1 373 1019 1 373 1023 1 373 1030 1 373 1055 1 373 1087 1 373 1090 1 373 1135 1 373 1173 1 373 1203 2 373 1256 1 373 1260 1 373 1275 1 373 1276 1 373 1278 1 373 1280 1 373 1285 1 373 1286 1 373 1287 1 373 1302 1 373 1335 1 373 1352 1 373 1390 1 373 1397 2 373 1417 1 373 1428 1 373 1432 1 373 1432 1 373 .I 374 .T Electronic Data Processing in the University Library .A Pflug, G. .W Following five years of experience with the mechanization of procedures using data processing equipment, the university library in Bochum is attempting to summarize its findings.

Among these organizations are publishers, computer software and time- sharing companies, micrographic firms, libraries, information centers, and consultants. The common interest of these diverse organizations is in service based on storage and representation of structured information with output on a recurring or demand basis. The concept of information as used throughout this book is defined as data organized into a collection of facts and most often recorded in two basic forms: 1) textual data or literature, and 2) numeric data. Roles played by the organizations described on the following pages vary but include one or more of the following functions: data base creation, data base publishing, data transmission, data manipulation and analysis, and data storage and retrieval. Emphasis in this publication is on organizations involved in computerized services, micrographic applications, selective dissemination of information (SDI), and networking. Not included in the Encyclopedia of Information Systems and Services are printed commercial and legal services, traditional academic and special libraries, public information offices, hardware manufacturers and distributors within the computer and micrographic field, conventional indexing and abstracting services, and most library automation programs which are limited to such housekeeping functions as circulation, serials control, and acquisitions. .X 18 2 376 123 1 376 127 2 376 128 1 376 129 1 376 130 1 376 145 3 376 191 1 376 339 1 376 357 1 376 370 1 376 376 8 376 387 1 376 453 1 376 459 3 376 524 1 376 525 1 376 527 1 376 529 1 376 530 1 376 534 1 376 629 1 376 633 1 376 635 1 376 636 1 376 637 1 376 642 1 376 648 1 376 652 1 376 702 1 376 703 1 376 730 2 376 732 1 376 733 1 376 734 1 376 736 1 376 826 1 376 827 1 376 877 1 376 879 1 376 910 1 376 935 1 376 1006 1 376 1049 1 376 1080 1 376 1143 1 376 1145 1 376 1198 1 376 1227 1 376 1370 1 376 1372 1 376 1376 1 376 1383 1 376 1384 1 376 1396 4 376 1403 1 376 1457 1 376 1457 1 376 .I 377 .T Citation Indexes .A Weinstock, M. .W Citation indexing is a relatively new method of organizing the contents of a collection of documents in a way that overcomes many of the shortcomings of the more traditional indexing methods. The primary advantage of citation indexing is that it identifies relationships between documents that are often overlooked in a subject index. An important secondary advantage is that the compilation of citation indexes is especially well suited to the use of man-machine indexing methods that do not require indexers who are subject specialists. Furthermore, citations, which are bibliographic descriptions of documents, are not vulnerable to scientific and technological obsolescence as are the terms used in subject indexes. .X 19 1 377 37 1 377 39 1 377 40 1 377 41 1 377 47 2 377 88 1 377 97 1 377 102 1 377 103 1 377 106 1 377 233 1 377 253 1 377 313 1 377 359 1 377 377 7 377 379 1 377 395 1 377 505 1 377 560 1 377 573 1 377 605 1 377 613 1 377 618 1 377 632 3 377 635 1 377 667 1 377 748 1 377 749 1 377 751 1 377 764 2 377 765 1 377 777 1 377 778 1 377 782 1 377 804 1 377 805 1 377 893 1 377 952 1 377 1016 1 377 1061 1 377 1085 1 377 1086 1 377 1087 2 377 1182 1 377 1200 1 377 1234 1 377 1274 3 377 1277 3 377 1278 2 377 1280 2 377 1285 2 377 1287 1 377 1301 2 377 1302 3 377 1304 1 377 1313 3 377 1338 1 377 1344 1 377 1347 1 377 1380 1 377 1428 1 377 1444 2 377 1444 2 377 .I 378 .T Dialog Interactive Information Retrieval System .A Summet, R.K. .W DIALOG is the name given to an interactive, computer-based information retrieval language developed at the Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory.

By providing the user full display access to the indexing vocabulary, and the ability to modify search expressions, DIALOG becomes a data processing extension of the human operator who directs and controls the process according to his own personal needs. .X 18 1 378 124 1 378 125 1 378 127 1 378 129 1 378 145 1 378 190 1 378 191 1 378 197 1 378 211 2 378 214 1 378 218 1 378 243 1 378 307 1 378 330 1 378 359 1 378 378 6 378 440 1 378 450 1 378 451 1 378 452 2 378 453 1 378 459 1 378 467 1 378 468 2 378 484 1 378 492 1 378 495 1 378 506 1 378 508 2 378 511 2 378 512 2 378 514 2 378 517 1 378 518 1 378 520 2 378 521 1 378 523 2 378 524 2 378 525 1 378 526 2 378 528 1 378 529 1 378 530 1 378 534 1 378 546 1 378 553 1 378 576 1 378 579 1 378 580 1 378 594 1 378 603 1 378 604 2 378 606 1 378 609 2 378 610 1 378 611 1 378 612 2 378 618 2 378 619 1 378 622 1 378 623 1 378 625 1 378 626 1 378 629 1 378 630 1 378 631 1 378 632 1 378 633 1 378 635 2 378 636 1 378 637 1 378 642 1 378 648 1 378 650 1 378 692 1 378 696 1 378 699 2 378 700 1 378 703 1 378 705 2 378 707 1 378 708 1 378 723 1 378 726 2 378 727 2 378 728 2 378 729 1 378 730 1 378 731 2 378 732 1 378 733 1 378 734 1 378 736 1 378 738 1 378 739 1 378 740 1 378 741 1 378 742 1 378 743 1 378 744 2 378 748 1 378 754 1 378 755 1 378 787 1 378 812 1 378 813 1 378 814 1 378 820 2 378 822 1 378 826 1 378 827 1 378 866 1 378 870 1 378 873 1 378 879 1 378 883 1 378 1004 1 378 1016 1 378 1035 1 378 1078 2 378 1085 1 378 1089 2 378 1091 2 378 1143 1 378 1207 1 378 1210 1 378 1264 2 378 1297 1 378 1302 3 378 1303 2 378 1356 1 378 1364 1 378 1366 1 378 1367 1 378 1368 2 378 1370 1 378 1372 1 378 1373 1 378 1374 1 378 1375 1 378 1376 1 378 1377 1 378 1396 1 378 1396 1 378 .I 379 .T Sources of Information on Specific Subjects .A Bradford, S.C. .W An alternative hypothesis to be investigated is that, to a considerable extent, the references are scattered throughout all periodicals with a frequency approximately related inversely to the scope. On this hypothesis, the aggregate of periodicals can be divided into classes according to relevance of scope to the subject concerned, but the more remote classes will, in the aggregate, produce as many references as the more related classes. The whole range of periodicals thus acts as a family of successive generations of diminishing kinship, each generation being greater in number than the preceding, and each constituent of a generation producing inversely according to its degree of remoteness. The investigation covered, in the first place, the references quoted, in the course of four and two and a-half years respectively, by the current bibliographies of Applied Geophysics and Lubrication, which are prepared in the library. The source of each reference being given, it was possible to arrange the sources in order of productivity, the results being set down in columns A and B of the table, in the previous column. .X 19 1 379 31 1 379 37 1 379 39 2 379 40 1 379 47 1 379 55 1 379 88 1 379 97 2 379 102 1 379 103 1 379 198 1 379 201 1 379 233 2 379 253 1 379 313 1 379 359 2 379 373 1 379 377 1 379 379 11 379 395 2 379 475 1 379 505 1 379 560 1 379 573 1 379 588 1 379 616 1 379 618 2 379 632 1 379 635 1 379 667 1 379 685 1 379 735 1 379 748 5 379 749 2 379 751 1 379 764 1 379 765 2 379 775 1 379 777 1 379 778 4 379 782 1 379 791 1 379 804 1 379 805 1 379 821 1 379 889 2 379 893 2 379 952 1 379 1016 1 379 1019 1 379 1030 1 379 1061 1 379 1083 1 379 1085 3 379 1086 2 379 1087 2 379 1173 1 379 1182 2 379 1200 1 379 1201 1 379 1203 1 379 1274 1 379 1275 2 379 1277 1 379 1278 1 379 1280 1 379 1285 1 379 1287 1 379 1290 1 379 1301 1 379 1302 3 379 1304 1 379 1313 1 379 1338 1 379 1344 1 379 1347 1 379 1355 1 379 1380 4 379 1418 1 379 1428 1 379 1444 1 379 1444 1 379 .I 380 .T Error-correcting Codes .A Peterson, W.W. .W Several major developments have contributed to the rapid emergence of the field of error-correcting codes over the past two decades. Externally, the cost of solid-state electronic devices has decreased almost as dramatically as their size. This has stimulated the development of digital computers and peripheral devices and this, in turn, has caused a dramatic increase in the volume of data communicated between such machines. The intolerance of computing systems to error, and in some cases the inherently critical nature of the data demand the use of either error-free facilities or some type of error-detecting or correcting code in the terminal devices. In many cases the latter approach is the more economical. .X 380 5 380 380 5 380 .I 381 .T The Evaluation of Information Services and Products .A King, D.W. .W The continuing need to put scientists in contact with the research of others, coupled with the rapidly expanding volume of published material during the past several decades, has placed new emphasis on the old arts of assembling, coding, and disseminating recorded knowledge. In some instances, the emphasis has manifested itself in research on improvement of traditional library systems. In other instances, it has resulted in the assembly of specialized collections and their intensive indexing for access in a variety of ways. Still other systems have progressed from the passive role of responding to requests to the active role of supplying documents, or references to them, to researchers as the documents become available. For lack of a more descriptive terminology, all of these activities are referred to in this book as "document transfer systems," implying that the product being retrieved (or disseminated) is a document rather than the information (if any) in it. That is, intelligence systems or fact retrieval systems (if facts are indeed retrieved) are excluded from our concern. The document, of course, may be a book, a journal article, a drawing, an abstract, a piece of film, or a piece of magnetic tape. .X 28 1 381 73 1 381 74 1 381 83 1 381 124 1 381 125 1 381 157 1 381 165 1 381 175 1 381 213 1 381 224 1 381 245 1 381 273 1 381 279 1 381 288 1 381 298 1 381 331 1 381 381 17 381 382 2 381 389 1 381 408 1 381 445 1 381 448 1 381 452 1 381 456 1 381 458 1 381 468 1 381 484 1 381 490 2 381 491 1 381 496 1 381 506 1 381 511 1 381 514 2 381 516 1 381 518 2 381 521 1 381 522 1 381 523 1 381 526 1 381 527 1 381 528 1 381 529 1 381 554 1 381 575 2 381 579 1 381 591 4 381 592 1 381 595 2 381 599 1 381 603 1 381 610 1 381 615 3 381 619 1 381 620 1 381 621 1 381 625 2 381 626 1 381 630 1 381 636 1 381 639 1 381 646 1 381 676 1 381 696 1 381 700 1 381 705 1 381 707 1 381 723 2 381 724 1 381 727 1 381 752 2 381 754 1 381 779 1 381 780 1 381 785 2 381 812 1 381 817 1 381 820 1 381 822 4 381 824 1 381 827 1 381 829 1 381 834 1 381 860 1 381 875 1 381 895 1 381 907 1 381 925 1 381 957 1 381 976 1 381 986 1 381 1065 1 381 1078 1 381 1091 1 381 1148 1 381 1227 1 381 1279 1 381 1282 2 381 1303 1 381 1317 1 381 1327 1 381 1353 1 381 1359 1 381 1360 1 381 1364 1 381 1366 1 381 1367 1 381 1368 1 381 1400 1 381 1410 1 381 1424 1 381 1448 1 381 1448 1 381 .I 382 .T Evaluation of MEDLARS Documentation .A Lancaster, f.W. .W This report presents the results of a detailed analysis by the National Library of Medicine of the performance of MEDLARS (its Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) in relation to 300 actual requests made to the system in 1966 and 1967. Thanks to this study, we now know considerably more about the requirements of MEDLARS users, how well the system is meeting these requirements, and what we must do to improve the overall performance level. The investigation is timely: the Library is now planning a second-generation MEDLARS, and the design of MEDLARS II should benefit greatly from our knowledge of factors affecting the performance of the present system. .X 29 1 382 38 1 382 50 1 382 51 1 382 61 1 382 62 1 382 65 1 382 67 1 382 68 1 382 69 2 382 70 1 382 71 2 382 72 2 382 73 2 382 75 3 382 76 1 382 77 1 382 79 2 382 83 1 382 86 1 382 120 1 382 131 1 382 134 1 382 135 1 382 137 1 382 145 1 382 149 1 382 156 1 382 168 1 382 175 7 382 176 1 382 197 1 382 206 1 382 207 1 382 208 1 382 211 1 382 213 3 382 214 1 382 224 1 382 241 1 382 261 1 382 315 1 382 346 1 382 355 3 382 359 1 382 361 1 382 369 1 382 371 1 382 381 2 382 382 35 382 389 2 382 390 2 382 448 1 382 452 1 382 458 4 382 475 1 382 476 1 382 477 1 382 478 1 382 479 2 382 480 2 382 481 1 382 483 2 382 484 2 382 485 3 382 486 1 382 488 2 382 491 2 382 493 1 382 495 1 382 503 1 382 506 2 382 507 1 382 509 1 382 510 1 382 512 1 382 514 1 382 517 1 382 520 2 382 522 1 382 527 1 382 528 1 382 531 1 382 546 1 382 554 1 382 565 3 382 566 3 382 567 1 382 570 2 382 576 1 382 581 1 382 583 1 382 586 2 382 594 1 382 596 1 382 603 1 382 608 5 382 625 1 382 633 1 382 634 1 382 636 1 382 643 1 382 658 1 382 659 2 382 676 1 382 680 1 382 696 2 382 704 1 382 705 1 382 715 1 382 716 1 382 717 1 382 736 1 382 752 1 382 754 1 382 760 1 382 762 1 382 765 1 382 769 1 382 770 1 382 776 1 382 778 1 382 779 2 382 780 2 382 781 1 382 785 1 382 790 2 382 795 2 382 805 1 382 807 1 382 809 1 382 810 1 382 812 1 382 813 1 382 814 1 382 817 1 382 820 1 382 824 1 382 825 2 382 826 1 382 859 1 382 870 1 382 894 2 382 956 1 382 961 1 382 966 4 382 967 1 382 981 1 382 982 1 382 986 1 382 997 1 382 1037 1 382 1045 1 382 1051 4 382 1055 1 382 1083 1 382 1084 1 382 1086 1 382 1118 1 382 1144 1 382 1151 1 382 1175 1 382 1216 1 382 1254 1 382 1255 2 382 1266 1 382 1279 1 382 1294 4 382 1295 1 382 1297 1 382 1298 1 382 1303 1 382 1313 1 382 1327 4 382 1358 1 382 1361 1 382 1368 1 382 1395 1 382 1402 1 382 1404 1 382 1410 1 382 1415 1 382 1417 1 382 1419 2 382 1421 1 382 1427 1 382 1448 1 382 1448 1 382 .I 383 .T Evaluation of Micropublishing .A Veaner, A.B .W Micropublishing, as it pertains to library materials, is essentially a form of the republishing of materials no longer in print. The need for such materials of many kinds - monographs, serials, newspapers, reference works - has grown greatly during the past quarter century and this need is reflected in the growth of the micropublishing industry. As new colleges and junior colleges are founded, and established colleges and universities continue to expand to meet growing educational needs, both groups of institutions find that in more and more instances the materials they need are available only in microform. As a result, the ratio of microforms to books in college and research libraries has been steadily rising. .X 231 1 383 286 1 383 352 1 383 383 9 383 911 1 383 1014 2 383 1058 1 383 1059 1 383 1152 1 383 1268 1 383 1268 1 383 .I 384 .T Evaluation of the World Food Literature .A Mann, E.J. .W This publication presents the culmination of a concerted International effort to survey the relevant world's scientific and technological literature for its food science and technology content as a preliminary step towards the establishment of a comprehensive abstracting and documentation service in this field. .X 88 1 384 89 1 384 384 6 384 560 1 384 589 1 384 722 1 384 1256 1 384 1256 1 384 .I 385 .T Evaluative Research Principles and Practice in Public Service and Social Action Programs .A Suchman, E.A. .W In these days of large government programs intended to reduce poverty, develop communities, prevent delinquency and crime, control disease, and reconstruct cities, the predominant rhetoric is that of planning, pilot projects, experimental and demonstration programs - and evaluation. Those who seek to select for support the more promising plans and projects submitted to funding agencies have become habituated to the ritualistic inclusion in the proposal of a final section on Evaluation. In most cases this section consists of sometimes grandiose but usually vague statements of intent and procedure for assessing the impact of the proposed action. In some cases there is an elegant, highly academic, and impractical scheme worked out in meticulous detail by an obviously talented research consultant. In a few treasured instances there is a well-considered, realistic, and workmanlike plan for getting some fairly reliable answers to the questions of what worked and why. .X 10 1 385 190 1 385 208 1 385 217 1 385 225 1 385 243 1 385 244 1 385 249 1 385 304 1 385 305 1 385 306 1 385 358 2 385 364 1 385 385 7 385 394 1 385 433 1 385 459 1 385 534 1 385 598 1 385 702 1 385 731 1 385 732 1 385 779 1 385 817 1 385 820 1 385 823 1 385 825 1 385 826 1 385 827 1 385 828 1 385 947 1 385 948 1 385 1005 1 385 1017 1 385 1018 1 385 1056 1 385 1058 1 385 1146 1 385 1230 1 385 1257 1 385 1384 1 385 1390 1 385 1403 1 385 1403 1 385 .I 386 .T Informal Communication in Science: Its Advantages and its Formal Analogues .A Menzel, H. .W Formal and informal scientific communication are complementary; they must not be thought of as alternatives in the sense that, perhaps, certain messages are obtained exclusively through the printed word, the library, and the mechanized search-and-retrieval system, whereas others are obtained by the exclusive use of word-of-mouth and the telephone. The much more typical event is one in which the receipt of a single message is secured by the successive interplay of these two kinds of communication. For any given transaction between a scientist as a receiver of information and the channel that brings him that information usually has a history behind it and a future ahead of it that may be very relevant to the evaluation of the success of that transaction and to the prognosis of whether this kind of transaction will happen again with similar results. .X 24 1 386 58 1 386 62 1 386 65 1 386 66 1 386 75 1 386 76 1 386 95 2 386 98 1 386 100 1 386 105 1 386 107 1 386 109 1 386 137 1 386 163 1 386 172 1 386 210 1 386 278 1 386 279 1 386 280 1 386 386 6 386 395 1 386 398 4 386 544 2 386 560 1 386 578 1 386 658 1 386 716 1 386 748 1 386 782 1 386 788 1 386 789 1 386 837 1 386 925 1 386 1063 1 386 1083 1 386 1142 1 386 1270 1 386 1284 2 386 1300 2 386 1312 1 386 1313 1 386 1345 1 386 1361 1 386 1386 1 386 1400 1 386 1404 1 386 1408 1 386 1446 1 386 1447 1 386 1447 1 386 .I 387 .T The Foundations of Education for Librarianship .A Shera, J.H. .W The study is a result of a theory of librarianship which has been in the process of maturation for more than a quarter century of teaching and administration, first at the University of Chicago, and subsequently at Western Reserve University, now Case Western Reserve University, and which has been elaborated in essays and addresses as the inquiry progressed. My purpose has been to explore the role of the library as it contributes to the total communication system in society and the meaning of that role for the library profession, and having determined the requirements of that role to identify those which are appropriately met by graduate professional education. Therefore, the inquiry begins with a consideration of the communication system within the individual as related to his physiological, neurological, and psychological structure, and its meaning for learning and reading patterns and characteristics. The study then progresses to an exposition of the cultural environment and its communication system in society, together with the place of the library in it. .X 128 1 387 130 1 387 171 1 387 173 1 387 191 1 387 230 1 387 339 3 387 370 1 387 371 1 387 376 1 387 387 5 387 453 1 387 470 1 387 629 1 387 648 1 387 652 1 387 923 1 387 924 1 387 1376 1 387 1403 3 387 1423 2 387 1457 1 387 1457 1 387 .I 388 .T A Guide to the Construction and Use of Special Schemes .A Vickery, B.C. .W The use of classification in libraries is traditional and its value is appreciated. For documentation and information retrieval in general, other techniques such as alphabetical indexing and machine selection are also available. That classification is of value in information retrieval as well as in book arrangement is, however, made evident in two ways. First, to achieve consistency and subtlety in alphabetical indexing and machine selection designers of such retrieval systems find the need to introduce classificatory techniques. Second, there is a continuing demand for the construction of special classifications for detailed arrangement and cataloguing of documents in restricted but intensively cultivated fields of knowledge. It is to help meet these demands, particularly the second, that this guide has been prepared. The techniques of detailed depth classification have been greatly developed during the past decade, and instruments of much greater subtlety and efficiency than the traditional 'tree-of-knowledge' schemes can now be designed. These developments have been reported mainly as research papers in a variety of library journals and are often made unnecessarily difficult to follow by the use of unfamiliar terminology. There is a need for a more simply written and more readily available practical guide to the use of the newer techniques of classification. .X 149 1 388 168 1 388 258 2 388 263 1 388 317 1 388 388 8 388 434 1 388 477 1 388 501 1 388 516 1 388 558 1 388 761 1 388 1066 1 388 1162 2 388 1164 2 388 1175 1 388 1231 1 388 1259 1 388 1309 1 388 1391 1 388 1413 2 388 1414 1 388 1448 2 388 1448 2 388 .I 389 .T Factors Determining the Performance of Indexing Systems .A Cleverdon, C.W. .B Vol. 1 .W The original Aslib-Cranfield investigations on the efficiency of indexing systems (references 1, 2 and 3) did not, by itself, produce firm answers to what is one of the basic problems in information retrieval, namely the decision as to which index language should be used.

Within the environment of this test, it is shown that the best performance was obtained with the group of eight index languages which used single terms. The group of fifteen index languages which were based on concepts gave the worst performance, while a group of six index languages based on the Thesaurus of Engineering Terms of the Engineers Joint Council were intermediary. Of the single term index languages, the only method of improving performance was to group synonyms and word forms, and any broader groupings of terms depressed performance. The use of precision devices such as links gave no advantage as compared to the basic device of simple coordination. .X 28 1 390 43 1 390 44 1 390 57 2 390 61 1 390 63 1 390 71 1 390 73 2 390 86 1 390 133 1 390 134 3 390 146 1 390 149 1 390 175 6 390 228 1 390 274 1 390 309 1 390 319 1 390 328 1 390 348 1 390 382 2 390 389 11 390 390 22 390 445 1 390 449 1 390 458 2 390 474 2 390 487 1 390 488 1 390 502 1 390 509 3 390 514 1 390 519 1 390 520 1 390 565 4 390 570 1 390 576 1 390 577 1 390 579 2 390 586 1 390 589 1 390 596 1 390 600 1 390 601 1 390 608 1 390 625 1 390 634 1 390 636 1 390 643 2 390 644 1 390 649 1 390 652 1 390 659 1 390 660 2 390 661 1 390 752 4 390 754 2 390 780 4 390 785 4 390 799 1 390 805 1 390 807 1 390 812 1 390 820 1 390 829 2 390 830 1 390 863 1 390 864 1 390 894 1 390 895 1 390 956 1 390 963 1 390 987 1 390 988 1 390 989 1 390 1044 2 390 1089 1 390 1152 1 390 1154 1 390 1255 3 390 1265 1 390 1279 1 390 1282 5 390 1294 1 390 1313 1 390 1327 3 390 1419 1 390 1419 1 390 .I 391 .T Factors in the Transfer of Technology .A Gruber, W.H. .W The strong correlation between the scope and depth of this country's research and development activities and the vigor and the growth of its industrial plant is today a widely accepted fact. Government expenditures for research and development have increased from a modest annual rate of $200 million some thirty years ago to $17 billion today. The research budgets of the private sector of the economy, which were almost miniscule in the 1930's, total approximately $8 billion today. These expenditures have had their many tangible and visible results, ranging from nylon and antibiotics to radar and solid state electronics, but what is not so generally appreciated is the additional product represented by the increasing inventory of ideas and new knowledge whose application, for the most part, is still a potential one. The sophisticated and often urgent nature of some of the larger products in which we engage today, which require vast research expenditures to find the efficient way, or the economical way, or the safe way, or the most accurate way to accomplish some end purpose, also produces an increase in the national level of scientific and technological competence that has not yet been transferred into the civilian economy. The value of the technical ideas now stored and awaiting application can be estimated as a value many times larger than the annual rate of billions of dollars invested in the effort it took to develop this increased technical capability. As a national resource for underwriting further economic and industrial development, this technical inventory is a factor of major importance. .X 89 1 391 101 1 391 102 2 391 109 1 391 343 1 391 356 1 391 391 5 391 426 1 391 436 3 391 437 2 391 658 2 391 1050 3 391 1063 1 391 1288 3 391 1296 1 391 1339 1 391 1386 1 391 1386 1 391 .I 392 .T Faculty Status for Librarians .A Massman, V.F. .W The purpose of this study is: (1) to review the history of the struggle for faculty status for librarians and some of the arguments advanced in support of that objective; and (2) to gather information on the similarities and differences between librarians and faculty members in the broad areas of preparation, contributions, and rewards.

Recognition devices, automata, are introduced only as a secondary tool and are themselves presented within the framework of rewriting systems. The main emphasis is on mathematical aspects of formal languages rather than application. People interested only in applications to programming languages (resp. natural languages) would certainly prefer a more comprehensive discussion on topics such as LR(k) grammars (resp. transformational grammars). Such discussions lie outside the scope of this book. .X 396 5 396 397 1 396 446 1 396 489 1 396 499 1 396 499 1 396 .I 397 .T Formal Languages and Their Relation to Automata .A Hopcroft, J.E. .W This book presents the theory of formal languages as a coherent theory and makes explicit its relationship to automata. The book begins with an explanation of the notion of a finite description of a language. The fundamental descriptive device - the grammar - is explained, as well as its three major subclasses - regular, context-free, and context-sensitive grammars. The context-free grammars are treated in detail, and such topics as normal forms, derivation trees, and ambiguity are covered. Four types of automata equivalent to the four types of grammars are described. These automata are the finite automaton, the pushdown automaton, the linear bounded automaton, and the Turing machine. The Turing machine is covered in detail, and unsolvability of the halting problem shown. The book concludes with certain advanced topics in language theory - closure properties, computational complexity, deterministic pushdown automata, LR(k) grammars, stack automata, and decidability. .X 396 1 397 397 11 397 417 3 397 430 3 397 443 3 397 455 4 397 464 3 397 745 3 397 1204 3 397 1398 3 397 1427 3 397 1427 3 397 .I 398 .T Informal Channels of Communication In the Behavioral Sciences: Their Relevance In the Structuring of Formal or Bibliographic Communication .A Garvey, W.D. Griffith, B.C. .W What are the needs being served by informal communication? What can be done about giving informal communication, without destroying its function for the active researcher, certain of the advantages of formal communication, such as, general accessibility, permanence, etc.? How can formal channels be manipulated to take on the characteristics of informal communication? To cast light on these questions the present paper examines the role of informal and formal channels within the overall system of scientific dissemination in psychology, considers the special advantages of informal communication, and outlines certain relations between informal and formal channels. In a final section of the paper, two experiments in scientific communication are described; one experiment being built about an innovation that attempts to "informalize" formal channels while the other is built about another innovation that, in general, attempts to "formalize" an informal channel. .X 24 1 398 62 1 398 65 1 398 66 1 398 75 1 398 76 1 398 95 1 398 98 1 398 105 1 398 109 1 398 137 1 398 162 1 398 163 1 398 210 1 398 278 1 398 279 1 398 280 1 398 386 4 398 395 1 398 398 5 398 544 1 398 560 1 398 658 1 398 716 1 398 748 1 398 782 1 398 788 1 398 789 1 398 837 1 398 925 1 398 933 1 398 1063 1 398 1076 1 398 1083 1 398 1142 1 398 1270 1 398 1284 2 398 1300 1 398 1361 1 398 1400 1 398 1404 1 398 1408 1 398 1446 1 398 1447 1 398 1447 1 398 .I 399 .T Functional Approach .A Sgall, P. .W The present book sums up a certain stage in the research on algebraic linguistics being pursued at Charles University, Prague. It is based mainly on P. Sgall's book (1967a, in Czech), which represents the first attempt at a systematic formulation of the conception of generative description that has gradually been elaborated by our research group. We do not claim that any particular question has been answered here in a definitive way, but the conception of a generative system based on an articulation of the semantic relation (see Section 1.3.4) may perhaps be interesting in connection with the present development of algebraic linguistics. This conception originated in 1963-1964, mainly as a reaction to the existing form of transformational description. It has not yet been possible to take the more recent impulses into account to an extent that would be adequate to their scope and theoretical significance. Only some aspects of these impulses are commented on in the relevant parts of the present book. We do not present a complete characterization of a system that could be regarded as a counterpart to the new version of transformational grammar. We have simply tried to formulate a conception that can serve as a starting point for the development of a new alternative. .X 168 1 399 399 5 399 1225 1 399 1388 1 399 1427 1 399 1427 1 399 .I 400 .T Future Developments in Telecommunications .A Martin, J. .W Communication technology has entered a period of revolutionary change. The last decade has brought new inventions of enormous potential. It will probably be two decades before we fully grasp the shattering effect they will have on society. These inventions include: The communication satellite. Suddenly this has provided telephone and television links to the underdeveloped world. Much larger satellites will be built and will have an enormous impact on education and communications both in the United States and throughout the world. The satellite antennae in some underdeveloped countries stand next to fields ploughed by oxen. The helical waveguide. A pipe, now operating, that can carry 250,000 simultaneous telephone calls or equivalent information over long distances. The laser. This means of transmission, still in the research laboratory, has the potential of carrying many millions of simultaneous telephone calls or their equivalent. Large-scale integration (LSI). A form of ultraminiaturized computer circuitry that probably marks the beginning of mass production of computers and computerlike logic circuitry. It offers the potential of extremely reliable, extremely small, and, in some of its forms, extremely fast computers. If large-enough quantities can be built, this circuitry can become very low in cost. On-line real-time computers. Computers capable of responding to many distant terminals on telecommunication lines at a speed geared to human thinking. They have the potential of bringing the power and information of innumerable computers into every office and eventually every home. Picturephone. A public dial-up telephone system in which subscribers see as well as hear each other. Large TV screens. TV screens that can occupy a whole wall if necessary. Cable TV. Provides a cable into homes with a potential signal-carrying capacity more than one thousand times that of the telephone cable. It could be used for signals other than television. Voice answerback. Computers can now assembly human-voice words and speak them over the telephone. This fact, coupled with the Touchtone telephone set, makes every such telephone a potential computer terminal. Millimeter-wave radio. Radio at frequencies in the band above the microwave band can relay a quantity of information greater than all the other radio bands combined. Chains of closely spaced antennas will distribute these millimeter-wave signals. Pulse code modulation. All signals, including telephone, Picturephone, music, facsimile, and television can be converted into digital bit stream and transmitted, along with computer data, over the same digital links. Major advantages accrue from this. Computerized switching. Computerized telephone exchanges are coming into operation, and computer-like logic can be employed for switching and "concentrating" all types of signals. Data banks. Electronic storage for huge quantities of information that can be manipulated and indexed by computers and that can be accessed in a fraction of a second. .X 10 1 400 114 1 400 145 1 400 169 1 400 289 1 400 345 1 400 400 5 400 459 1 400 493 1 400 548 1 400 627 1 400 872 1 400 884 1 400 885 1 400 887 1 400 990 1 400 1073 1 400 1227 1 400 1302 1 400 1368 1 400 1390 1 400 1392 1 400 1414 1 400 1448 1 400 1448 1 400 .I 401 .T Future Shock .A Toffler, A. .W This is a book about what happens to people when they are overwhelmed by change. It is about the ways in which we adapt - or fail to adapt - to the future. Much has been written about the future. Yet, for the most part, books about the world to come sound a harsh metallic note. These pages, by contrast, concern themselves with the "soft" or human side of tomorrow. Moreover, they concern themselves with the steps by which we are likely to reach tomorrow. They deal with common, everyday matters - the products we buy and discard, the places we leave behind, the corporations we inhabit, the people who pass at an ever faster clip through our lives. The future of friendship and family life in probed. Strange new subcultures and life styles are investigated, along with an array of other subjects from politics and playgrounds to skydiving and sex. .X 59 1 401 164 1 401 169 1 401 194 1 401 274 1 401 350 1 401 401 12 401 418 1 401 959 1 401 1025 1 401 1041 1 401 1069 1 401 1084 1 401 1150 1 401 1270 1 401 1298 1 401 1298 1 401 .I 402 .T The government of the American Public Library .A Joeckel, C.B. .W The major purpose of this study is to describe, analyze, and evaluate the position of the public library in the structure of government in the United States.

We are here concerned with the legal forms and types of governmental organization of the public library and with its relation to the city or other political unit to which it is attached or which it serves. .X 402 5 402 925 1 402 1056 1 402 1056 1 402 .I 403 .T Government Publications: A Guide to Bibliographic Tools .A Palic, V.M. .W The expansion of government at all levels - international, national, provincial or state, and local - has resulted in increasing government influence on the life of each citizen. Concomitant with this development is the proliferation of published directives, regulations, reports, technical studies, and other informational issuances in such volume that no one engaged in a business or profession, no financial tycoon, educator, researcher, farmer, housewife, welfare recipient, or unemployed person can function without some reference to government publications. Yet, in few areas of recorded human knowledge have control and bibliographic aids been so little systemized. The present work, designed to provide the prospective user as well as the trained researcher and librarian with a guide to the maze, is a direct descendant of the Childs essay. The extent to which the mass of published material has grown is underscored by the contrasting physical size of the two publications; Childs' was a 78-page pamphlet containing approximately 400 entries whereas this book of over 400 pages cites more than 3,000 titles. .X 6 1 403 363 1 403 403 5 403 461 1 403 551 1 403 551 1 403 .I 404 .T A Guide to the Library of Congress Classification .A Immroth, J.P. .W This guide is an introduction to the Library of Congress Classification; as such, it does not include instructions for every subclass or table, but attempts to provide the reader with an understanding of the characteristics of the classification, the arrangement within the classes, the format of the schedules and tables, and special problems of use and notation.

The needs of these types of users have influenced the organization and make-up of this volume, in that the requirements of the first two groups have made the manual more comprehensive than it might have been if intended for a textbook only, while the introductions to sections and many of the annotations have been provided particularly for the library school student. .X 405 8 405 1028 1 405 1349 2 405 1349 2 405 .I 406 .T Guidelines for Library Automation; a Handbook for Federal and Other Libraries .A Markuson, B.E. .W This book is one of the products of a contract initiated by the Automation Task Force of the Federal Library Committee, sponsored and monitored by the U.S. Office of Education, and carried out by the System Development Corporation. The project included a questionnaire survey of all Federal libraries (2104), as of December, 1970, to gather systems planning data and to identify Federal libraries with operational or planned automated systems. Respondents in the latter group were sent a Federal Library Automation Survey questionnaire requesting specific details about existing and planned systems. From these sources, amplified by visits to Federal libraries and an extensive review of the automation literature, information was distilled for use in this Handbook. .X 91 1 406 114 1 406 177 1 406 178 1 406 232 1 406 241 1 406 287 2 406 331 1 406 348 1 406 358 1 406 375 1 406 406 11 406 408 3 406 607 1 406 725 1 406 849 1 406 896 1 406 897 1 406 916 2 406 925 1 406 946 1 406 948 1 406 959 1 406 960 1 406 962 1 406 979 1 406 1007 3 406 1033 2 406 1057 1 406 1079 1 406 1318 1 406 1364 1 406 1379 1 406 1400 1 406 1403 1 406 1403 1 406 .I 407 .T Handbook of Comparative Librarianship .A Simsova, S. .W The first part, written by myself, deals with 'Comparative librarianship and comparative method' and is intended for both teachers of comparative librarianship and their students. It can be approached in a number of ways: The first three chapters outline comparative librarianship and the theoretical basis of its methodology against the wider background of other comparative sciences and the scientific method. The three chapters following are purely practical and explain the various steps of writing a comparative study. The last chapter is intended for teachers. The second part, compiled by Mrs. MacKee, is a bibliographical guide to the main sources on librarianship throughout the world. It draws on the bibliographies collected by comparative librarianship students in the course of their project work, on replies to a questionnaire sent to the various library associations of the world, and on Mrs. MacKee's own collection of references gathered over a number of years. .X 323 1 407 407 9 407 407 9 407 .I 408 .T Handbook of Data Processing for Libraries .A Hayes, R.M. .B 1970 .W The purpose of this book, therefore, is to assist libraries and librarians in resolving some of the problems faced in utilizing this new technology. The intent is to provide a concrete, factual guide to the principles and methods available for the application of modern data processing to library operations. For the operating librarian, it should be considered a handbook, a tool to guide him in decisions concerning the introduction of data processing techniques into his own library. For the student, it should be a textbook, educating him not only in methodology but also in the interrelationships between data processing and the library. For the system designer, it should be a summary of the state-of-the-art, serving as a bridge between library objectives and the technology. The book, throughout, lays special stress on the library and, particularly, on the significance of library values and policies for determining the choice of system. The book gives emphasis to the computer, but always in the context of applying this technology to the solution of operating problems, as an addition to resources for information service, as a tool of good management, and not as an end in itself. At most, therefore, the book aims to educate the profession in the use of these tools, and in the special problems of applying them to libraries. In this respect, much of the groundwork has already been done - the profession has been educating itself, has carried out analyses of library operations, has experimented with mechanization, and is developing better concepts of cost control. The book merely continues a process that is already underway. .X 18 1 408 74 1 408 83 1 408 114 1 408 119 1 408 177 2 408 178 3 408 206 3 408 207 1 408 208 2 408 214 1 408 218 1 408 241 1 408 243 1 408 245 4 408 249 2 408 250 1 408 253 1 408 266 1 408 273 1 408 277 1 408 279 1 408 282 1 408 287 3 408 288 1 408 291 1 408 331 1 408 348 2 408 365 1 408 374 1 408 375 1 408 381 1 408 406 3 408 408 30 408 435 1 408 458 1 408 471 1 408 490 1 408 492 1 408 496 1 408 497 1 408 506 1 408 507 1 408 508 1 408 510 1 408 535 1 408 548 1 408 554 2 408 584 1 408 591 2 408 592 1 408 594 1 408 601 1 408 604 1 408 607 1 408 654 1 408 686 1 408 723 1 408 724 1 408 834 1 408 849 1 408 850 1 408 851 1 408 856 1 408 857 1 408 858 1 408 859 1 408 860 2 408 861 1 408 862 1 408 865 1 408 866 1 408 867 1 408 897 1 408 916 3 408 925 3 408 938 1 408 948 1 408 957 1 408 959 1 408 960 1 408 962 2 408 964 1 408 970 1 408 974 1 408 976 4 408 979 3 408 980 1 408 984 1 408 986 1 408 1005 1 408 1007 5 408 1012 2 408 1013 1 408 1033 1 408 1035 1 408 1042 1 408 1084 1 408 1087 1 408 1148 1 408 1227 1 408 1248 1 408 1317 4 408 1327 2 408 1353 1 408 1358 1 408 1359 1 408 1360 1 408 1400 5 408 1410 1 408 1424 1 408 1445 1 408 1445 1 408 .I 409 .T HDB of Data Processing for Libraries .A Hayes, R.M. .W The four years since the first edition of this book was published have been a period of exceptional advance in the usage of computers in libraries. Where one or two examples were all that were available at that time to illustrate each kind of application, now there are five to ten; where the cadre of knowledgeable people in libraries at that time was small, now virtually every major library has some kind of systems department; where the efforts at that time were largely experimental and developmental, now there is a wealth. This second edition has therefore been written in a context totally different from that of the first. But its aims are the same; to ensure that practicing librarians and that students in library schools approach the world of automation with knowledge of its capabilities and limitations and with the techniques of systems analysis by which to analyze and evaluate alternative answers to the library's processing problems. The changes from the first edition therefore represent not a departure from that purpose but simply an updating of its content, to reflect the advances and experience gained, and an opportunity to correct the errors (hopefully minor) that have been found through use of the first edition. .X 62 1 409 141 1 409 310 1 409 318 1 409 363 2 409 409 8 409 462 1 409 604 1 409 645 1 409 647 1 409 651 1 409 737 1 409 739 1 409 853 1 409 875 1 409 881 1 409 882 1 409 883 2 409 884 1 409 885 1 409 886 1 409 887 1 409 917 1 409 999 1 409 1000 1 409 1001 1 409 1002 1 409 1003 1 409 1004 1 409 1274 1 409 1375 1 409 1376 1 409 1419 1 409 1419 1 409 .I 410 .T Handbook of Medical Library Practice .A Annan, G.L. .W The Medical Library Association has long been aware of the need for a third edition of the Handbook. Changes in library practices, proliferating demands upon established libraries, and the development of new ones created the need of an up-to-date tool. Like the earlier editions, this Handbook is such a tool, a manual, not a survey of the state of the art. It offers practical advice to all - fledgling librarians starting their careers, experienced librarians transferring to the field of health sciences, established medical librarians refreshing memories or adopting procedures unfamiliar to them, and specialists in related fields. .X 192 1 410 215 1 410 410 5 410 949 2 410 1071 1 410 1071 1 410 .I 411 .T Handbook of the National and International Libraries .A Fang, J.R. .W Two methods were used: (1) A thorough search of professional literature, principally since 1965, with exceptions in cases where no later information was available, and (2) direct communication with associations through a questionnaire and consultation of supplementary material provided by the associations. The final result of the authors' search was a total of 319 library associations, 33 international in scope and 286 national (see Statistical Data). .X 411 7 411 411 7 411 .I 412 .T The Hidden Dimension .A Hall, E.T. .W Generally speaking, there are two types of books of interest to the serious reader today: those that are content oriented, designed to convey a particular body of knowledge, and those that deal with structure, the way in which events are organized. It is doubtful if an author has any control over which of these two types of books he writes, though it is desirable that he be aware of the difference. The same applies to the reader whose satisfaction depends largely on his unstated expectations. In today's world, when all of us are overwhelmed with data from many sources, it is easy to understand why people are apt to feel that they are losing touch with developments even in their own field. One senses that there is also a growing awareness of a loss of relatedness to the world at large. This loss of relatedness leads to an increased need for organizing frames of reference to aid in intergrating the mass of rapidly changing information with which man must cope. The Hidden Dimension attempts to provide just this. .X 118 3 412 412 5 412 549 1 412 1034 1 412 1047 1 412 1332 2 412 1332 2 412 .I 413 .T Historical Introduction to Library School .A White, C.M. .W This is a revision and enlargement of Origins of the American Library School. Someone has observed that the roots of the present lie deep in the past and must be uncovered to understand fully how the present came to be what it is. This study is less a descriptive history of library schools and their work than a search for perspective within which major problems, as well as the course pursued in resolving them, can be more fully understood. The original study, begun in 1941-42, sought to throw light on how library education at that time came to be what is was. The present study continues beyond the early forming of the American library school to the reforming of basic lines of policy and organization. A new title is used to reflect the broadened scope. .X 413 6 413 413 6 413 .I 414 .T The History of Libraries in the Western World .A Johnson, E.D. .W The present work is an attempt to trace the history of libraries in the western world: to indicate how libraries developed and how they influenced the social and cultural history of our civilization. The book is intended for the student of library science or of cultural history and for the general reader interested in the development of western civilization. Much has been omitted concerning libraries and librarians that could have been included; conversely, some facts could have been omitted without seriously detracting from the story as a whole but have been included to illustrate how library history developed; they point out the high spots and indicate trends. .X 414 5 414 414 5 414 .I 415 .T 90 Recommended Journals for the Hospital's Health Science Library .A Yast, H.T. .W Choosing from the growing number of medical and paramedical journals is becoming increasingly difficult for the health science librarian, the author states.

The present book reports the results of the extended inquiry that ensued in the course of those years, and which led to the disclosure of some fundamental principles that seem to govern important aspects of our behavior, both as individuals and as members of social groups. .X 19 2 416 44 2 416 57 2 416 76 1 416 81 1 416 175 1 416 228 3 416 309 1 416 318 1 416 321 2 416 324 2 416 329 4 416 359 3 416 416 17 416 442 3 416 450 3 416 453 1 416 477 1 416 495 2 416 498 1 416 511 5 416 521 1 416 524 3 416 563 1 416 565 2 416 567 2 416 591 1 416 700 1 416 748 1 416 759 2 416 765 3 416 778 2 416 787 1 416 791 3 416 835 2 416 851 2 416 852 1 416 862 2 416 867 1 416 872 1 416 875 2 416 893 1 416 894 1 416 970 1 416 1044 1 416 1081 1 416 1082 1 416 1083 1 416 1114 1 416 1122 1 416 1168 1 416 1172 2 416 1173 1 416 1182 2 416 1194 3 416 1196 1 416 1199 2 416 1201 1 416 1226 2 416 1309 1 416 1327 1 416 1381 1 416 1396 1 416 1398 1 416 1398 1 416 .I 417 .T Human Problem Solving .A Newell, A. Simon, H.A. .W The present study is concerned with the performance of intelligent adults in our own culture. The tasks discussed are short (half-hour), moderately difficult problems of a symbolic nature. The three main tasks we use - chess, symbolic logic, and algebra-like puzzles (called cryptarithmetic puzzles) - typify this class of problems. The study is concerned with the integrated activities that constitute problem solving. It is not centrally concerned with perception, motor skill, or what are called personality variables. The study is concerned primarily with performance, only a little with learning, and not at all with development or differences related to age. Finally, it is concerned with integrated activities, hence deemphasizes the details of processing on the time scale of elementary reactions (that is, half a second or less). Similarly, long-term integrated activities extending over periods of days or years receive no attention. .X 168 1 417 172 1 417 191 1 417 194 1 417 212 1 417 274 1 417 317 1 417 332 1 417 343 1 417 397 3 417 417 7 417 430 3 417 443 4 417 446 1 417 455 3 417 458 1 417 464 3 417 485 1 417 514 1 417 546 2 417 572 2 417 577 1 417 579 1 417 606 1 417 608 1 417 610 1 417 611 1 417 612 1 417 615 1 417 626 1 417 640 1 417 745 3 417 902 2 417 1033 1 417 1046 1 417 1084 1 417 1204 3 417 1279 1 417 1327 1 417 1387 2 417 1398 3 417 1399 1 417 1427 3 417 1427 3 417 .I 418 .T The Human Side of Enterprise .A McGregor, D. .W This volume is an attempt to substantiate the thesis that the human side of enterprise is "all of a piece" - that the theoretical assumptions management holds about controlling its human resources determine the whole character of the enterprise. They determine also the quality of its successive generations of management. Of course the process is circular, and herein lies the possibility and the hope of future progress. The key question for top management is: "What are your assumptions (implicit as well as explicit) about the most effective way to manage people?" From the answer to this question flow the answers to the questions Mr. Sloan raised in our discussion about the making of managers, as well as answers to many other questions which perplex and confound management as it seeks to achieve more successfully the economic objectives of enterprise. It will be clear to the reader that I believe many of our present assumptions about the most effective way to manage people are far from adequate. .X 4 1 418 173 1 418 227 1 418 270 1 418 285 1 418 293 1 418 296 1 418 298 2 418 301 1 418 302 1 418 306 1 418 401 1 418 418 13 418 549 1 418 578 1 418 768 1 418 774 1 418 823 1 418 842 1 418 843 1 418 844 1 418 925 1 418 1015 1 418 1041 1 418 1069 4 418 1070 5 418 1150 2 418 1186 1 418 1187 1 418 1205 2 418 1214 2 418 1233 1 418 1454 1 418 1455 3 418 1455 3 418 .I 419 .T A Statistical Approach to Mechanized Encoding and Searching of Literary Information .A Luhn, H.P. .W Written communication of ideas is carried out on the basis of statistical probability in that a writer chooses that level of subject specificity and that combination of words which he feels will convey the most meaning.. Since this process varies among individuals and since similar ideas are therefore relayed of different levels of specificity and by means of different words, the problem of literature searching by machines still present major difficulties.. A statistical approach to this problem will be outlined and the various steps of a system based on this approach will be described.. Steps include the statistical analysis of a collection of document in a field of interest, the establishment of a set of "notions" and the vocabulary by which they are expressed, the compilation of a thesaurus-type dictionary and index, the automatic encoding of documents by machine with the aid of such a dictionary, the encoding of topological notations (such as branches structures), the recording of the coded information, the establishment of a searching pattern for finding pertinent information, and the programming of appropriate machines to carry out a search.. .X 26 3 419 30 1 419 45 1 419 51 2 419 61 1 419 75 1 419 79 1 419 114 1 419 144 1 419 164 1 419 172 1 419 174 1 419 175 1 419 176 3 419 178 1 419 315 2 419 321 1 419 363 1 419 374 1 419 389 1 419 419 9 419 420 1 419 421 1 419 434 1 419 441 1 419 458 1 419 479 1 419 481 1 419 483 1 419 485 1 419 491 1 419 507 1 419 520 1 419 523 1 419 531 1 419 562 3 419 564 2 419 565 2 419 566 1 419 575 1 419 577 3 419 623 1 419 644 2 419 649 1 419 660 5 419 661 2 419 662 4 419 663 2 419 664 3 419 752 1 419 769 1 419 780 1 419 812 3 419 822 1 419 824 2 419 907 1 419 956 1 419 1144 1 419 1218 1 419 1279 1 419 1282 1 419 1294 1 419 1327 2 419 1414 1 419 1448 1 419 1448 1 419 .I 420 .T The Automatic Creation of Literature Abstracts .A Luhn, H.P. .W Experts of technical papers and magazine articles that serve the purposes of conventional abstracts have been created entirely by automatic means..

Sentences scoring highest in significance are extracted and printed out to become the "auto-abstract".. .X 26 2 420 35 2 420 39 1 420 42 1 420 43 1 420 45 1 420 52 1 420 68 1 420 70 1 420 73 1 420 77 1 420 78 1 420 79 1 420 81 1 420 95 1 420 114 1 420 174 1 420 175 2 420 315 5 420 324 1 420 419 1 420 420 13 420 421 1 420 455 1 420 458 1 420 499 3 420 503 1 420 562 1 420 564 1 420 571 3 420 578 1 420 581 1 420 582 1 420 585 1 420 589 1 420 594 1 420 595 2 420 655 1 420 656 1 420 657 2 420 662 3 420 663 1 420 664 2 420 666 4 420 790 1 420 1054 1 420 1118 1 420 1124 1 420 1126 1 420 1127 1 420 1131 1 420 1144 1 420 1154 1 420 1218 1 420 1232 1 420 1279 1 420 1281 1 420 1295 1 420 1298 1 420 1382 1 420 1382 1 420 .I 421 .T A Business Intelligence System .A Luhn, H.P. .W An automatic system is being developed to disseminate information to the various sections of any industrial, scientific or government organization.. This intelligence system will utilize data-processing machines for auto- abstracting and auto-encoding of documents and for creating interest profiles for each of the "action points" in an organization.. Both incoming and internally generated documents are automatically abstracted, characterized by a word pattern, and sent automatically to appropriate action points.. This paper shows the flexibility of such a system in identifying known information, in finding who needs to know it and in disseminating it efficiently either in abstract form or as a complete document.. .X 18 1 421 26 1 421 34 1 421 45 1 421 49 2 421 53 1 421 59 1 421 91 1 421 164 1 421 172 1 421 202 1 421 213 1 421 224 1 421 243 1 421 315 1 421 419 1 421 420 1 421 421 6 421 439 1 421 440 1 421 465 1 421 466 1 421 490 1 421 491 1 421 506 1 421 507 1 421 510 1 421 512 1 421 562 1 421 564 1 421 580 1 421 591 1 421 595 1 421 603 1 421 604 1 421 609 1 421 622 1 421 623 1 421 629 1 421 633 1 421 639 1 421 659 1 421 662 1 421 663 1 421 664 1 421 676 2 421 696 1 421 711 1 421 722 1 421 723 1 421 726 1 421 727 1 421 728 1 421 730 1 421 731 1 421 732 1 421 809 2 421 810 1 421 813 2 421 814 1 421 820 1 421 822 1 421 828 1 421 870 2 421 879 1 421 907 1 421 1091 1 421 1279 1 421 1283 1 421 1298 2 421 1299 1 421 1363 1 421 1366 1 421 1367 1 421 1368 1 421 1396 2 421 1396 2 421 .I 422 .T On Some Clustering Techniques .A Bonner, R.E. .W The problem of organizing a large mass of data occurs frequently in research.. Normally, some process of generalization is used to compress the data so that it can be analyzed more easily.. A primitive step in this process is the "clustering" technique, which involves gathering together similar data into a cluster to permit a significant generalization.. This paper describes a number of methods which make use of IBM 7090 computer programs to do clustering.. A medical research problem is used to illustrate and compare these methods.. .X 26 1 422 45 1 422 174 1 422 175 2 422 310 1 422 328 1 422 422 5 422 454 1 422 458 1 422 479 1 422 483 1 422 485 1 422 562 1 422 564 2 422 566 1 422 570 1 422 577 1 422 641 1 422 643 1 422 644 1 422 645 1 422 649 1 422 650 1 422 660 2 422 661 1 422 662 2 422 663 1 422 709 1 422 755 1 422 769 1 422 785 1 422 825 1 422 830 1 422 1044 2 422 1154 1 422 1218 1 422 1327 2 422 1382 1 422 1419 1 422 1419 1 422 .I 423 .T R and D Project Selection: Where We Stand .A Baker, N.R. Pound, W.H. .W A review of the literature on R and D project selection and an analysis of interview data suggest that there is a lack of testing and use of the methods proposed.. Several OR-MS methods are identified and their current status is indicated.. Three representative procedures are examined in some detail.. It is argued that both a lack of testing concerning feasibility and shortcomings of the models themselves, help to explain why the methods have not been used.. Some of these shortcomings are identified and discussed.. Implications for future research are presented.. .X 349 1 423 423 15 423 424 3 423 425 11 423 426 2 423 427 2 423 428 3 423 436 1 423 437 1 423 561 6 423 1039 4 423 1040 5 423 1154 3 423 1449 1 423 1449 1 423 .I 424 .T A Method for Allocating R & D Expenditures .A Rosen, E.M. Souder, W.E. .W The analytical problems of developing quantitative techniques for R & D investment management are often complicated by the existence of conflicting goals.. Corporate goals may require the R & D manager to simultaneously seek the highest probable profits, the largest probable number of successes, and the greatest probable profit per dollar spent.. Departmental goals may restrict the manager to some maximum budget, a minimum number of projects to be worked on, and minimum levels of accomplishment on specific projects.. In a sense, then, the research manager is faced with a constrained multiple-output production problem: how much to spend on which project and how much to spend overall.. This paper shows how a slight modification of Hess' approach to project selection and an analogy to the theoretical economics of a multiple-product factory have been used to help our research management simultaneously solve these project selection, resource allocation, and budget determination problems.. Most approaches in the literature have treated these three problems separately.. .X 423 3 424 424 5 424 425 3 424 426 1 424 427 1 424 428 2 424 436 1 424 437 1 424 561 5 424 1039 2 424 1040 2 424 1449 1 424 1449 1 424 .I 425 .T The Selection of R&D Program Content-Survey of Quantitative Methods .A Cetron, Marvin J.

Siegman, Jack Rubenstein, Albert H. .W A flow model is presented which identifies some of the organizational factors influencing idea generation behavior in industrial R&D laboratories.. The model is constructed from literature-based propositions which make explicit the role played by several organizational factors identified in the model.. Data were collected on about 300 ideas created in a divisional laboratory of a major U.S. corporation.. In general, these data support the a priori propositions.. Further, data analysis suggests that two pieces of information are required before an idea is generated: 1) knowledge of a need, problem, or opportunity relevant to the company; and, 2) knowledge of a means or technique for satisfying the need, solving the problem, or capitalizing on the opportunity.. These results are discussed with respect to the stage of creative thought proposed by other investigators.. Finally, the organizational events, which were associated as "needs" events or "means" events for the ideas studies, are identified and analyzed with respect to both quantity and quality of ideas.. .X 109 1 426 356 1 426 391 1 426 423 2 426 424 1 426 425 1 426 426 6 426 427 1 426 428 1 426 436 1 426 437 1 426 561 1 426 656 1 426 658 1 426 1039 1 426 1040 1 426 1050 1 426 1150 1 426 1154 1 426 1288 1 426 1321 2 426 1449 1 426 1449 1 426 .I 427 .T The Validity of Subjective Probability of Success Forecasts by R & D Project Managers .A Souder, W.D. .W Models and techniques to aid management in planning controlling R&D projects frequently use subjective probability of success forecasts as one of the major inputs. An experiment was conducted at the research laboratories of Monsanto Company to measure the predictive validity and consistency of such forecasts. The results indicate that the eventual success or failure of certain types of R&D projects can be predicted by measuring the time shape of polled probability of success forecasts. Probability of success forecasts appear to yield more valid advance warning indicators than several commonly used project status measures. These results tend to support the hypothesis that R&D planning and control models that are based on subjective probability estimates may reliably be used by management to aid in early identification of eventually failing projects, as well as to aid in project selection and project funding. .X 423 2 427 424 1 427 425 2 427 426 1 427 427 6 427 428 1 427 561 1 427 1039 2 427 1040 1 427 1449 1 427 1449 1 427 .I 428 .T Analysis of Some Portfolio Selection Models for R&D .A Gear, A.E. Lockett, A.G. Pearson, A.W. .W This paper presents the analytical review of mathematical programming models that have been proposed as aids to the related problems of resources allocation and project selection in R&D.. The models are classified according to whether they are based on linear, integer, chance constrained, or dynamic programming.. Representative examples from these classes are described and evaluated in detail.. The evaluation is on terms of data requirements; built-in assumptions; ease of computation; usefulness of outputs; versatility of application.. .X 423 3 428 424 2 428 425 3 428 426 1 428 427 1 428 428 6 428 436 1 428 561 2 428 1039 2 428 1040 4 428 1449 1 428 1449 1 428 .I 429 .T The Information Content of Titles in Engineering Literature .A Bottle, Robert T. .W Since many alerting and information services rely very heavily on the use of titles to transfer information to the potential user, it is essential that he be aware of the proportion of the information contained in the complete document which will not be deducible from the title and which he will therefore miss.. Methods will be discussed for analyzing the relative information content of the titles of engineering paper and results presented for the amount and type of information lost through scanning title listing only.. Between one-third and one-half of indexable terms are not retrievable from article titles even if all possible synonyms and related terms are used.. If all synonyms are used instead of one keyword the amount of information retrieved is increased by about 70 percent.. The problems of dealing with synonyms and with syntactical variants in searching titles indexes are discussed.. The possibility of using keywords in journal titles as supplementary retrieval tags is suggested since they were deemed useful in nearly one-third of the sample of papers analyzed.. .X 38 1 429 52 1 429 91 1 429 150 1 429 159 1 429 257 1 429 429 5 429 489 1 429 493 1 429 498 1 429 501 1 429 510 1 429 513 1 429 582 3 429 583 2 429 588 1 429 589 2 429 603 2 429 613 1 429 614 1 429 618 1 429 653 1 429 655 1 429 657 1 429 685 1 429 686 1 429 688 1 429 691 1 429 721 1 429 722 3 429 724 1 429 725 1 429 796 1 429 797 1 429 798 1 429 801 1 429 802 1 429 958 1 429 987 1 429 988 1 429 1195 1 429 1208 1 429 1293 1 429 1302 1 429 1405 1 429 1405 1 429 .I 430 .T On Fuzzy Mapping and Control .A Chang, Sheldon S.L. Zaden, Lofti A. .W A fuzzy mapping from X to Y is a fuzzy set on X * Y.. The concept is extended to fuzzy mappings of fuzzy set on X to Y, fuzzy function and its inverse, fuzzy parametric function, fuzzy observation, and control.. Set theoretical relations are obtained for fuzzy mappings, fuzzy functions, and fuzzy parametric functions.. It is shown that under certain conditions a precise control goal can be attained with fuzzy observation and control as long as the observations become sufficiently precise when the goal is approached.. .X 397 3 430 417 3 430 430 5 430 443 4 430 455 5 430 464 4 430 745 4 430 1204 3 430 1398 4 430 1427 3 430 1427 3 430 .I 431 .T Cooperation Between Types of Libraries An annotated bibliography 1969-1971 supplement .A Gilluly, M.E.

At the time of the visits, the systems seemed to be working technically but, paradoxically, they did not appear to have made a significant impact on the respective user communities. Although few people associated with the systems openly expressed concern, there were non-verbal indicators which suggested that some people were becoming nervous. Since all of the systems represented high expenditures of time and money, a feeling of uneasiness seemed quite appropriate. .X 10 1 433 115 1 433 161 1 433 190 1 433 225 1 433 234 1 433 236 1 433 244 1 433 295 1 433 297 1 433 300 1 433 303 1 433 304 1 433 305 1 433 306 1 433 358 2 433 385 1 433 394 1 433 433 8 433 459 1 433 534 1 433 624 1 433 631 1 433 647 1 433 654 1 433 702 1 433 731 1 433 732 1 433 817 1 433 820 1 433 823 1 433 825 1 433 826 1 433 827 1 433 828 1 433 937 1 433 946 1 433 947 1 433 948 1 433 972 1 433 1017 1 433 1058 1 433 1146 1 433 1230 1 433 1257 1 433 1373 1 433 1390 1 433 1390 1 433 .I 434 .T Indexing Languages and Thesauri: Construction and Maintenance .A Soergel, D. .W This book has two objectives.

Most importantly, this reassessment is based on a unified view of indexing languages (classification schemes) and thesauri as information storage and retrieval systems on the other. It results in general principles that are applicable to a wide range of situations. .X 30 1 434 176 1 434 259 1 434 263 1 434 335 1 434 342 1 434 363 1 434 388 1 434 419 1 434 434 16 434 445 1 434 449 1 434 483 1 434 501 1 434 534 1 434 639 1 434 643 1 434 644 1 434 645 1 434 661 1 434 874 1 434 885 1 434 947 2 434 1162 1 434 1164 1 434 1215 1 434 1231 1 434 1255 1 434 1265 1 434 1374 1 434 1413 3 434 1414 3 434 1437 1 434 1441 1 434 1448 5 434 1448 5 434 .I 435 .T Industrial Dynamics .A Forrester, J.W. .W This book is intended for the student of management, whether he is in a formal academic program or in business.

Hence the investigation which they undertook, and largely entrusted to us; an investigation which, through the great goodwill of many people in British industry, has yielded so much material that this book can only be a first impression and summary. .X 312 1 437 356 2 437 391 2 437 423 1 437 424 1 437 425 1 437 426 1 437 436 4 437 437 5 437 561 1 437 658 2 437 1036 1 437 1039 1 437 1040 1 437 1041 1 437 1050 2 437 1154 1 437 1187 1 437 1288 2 437 1333 1 437 1406 1 437 1406 1 437 .I 438 .T Inequality; a reassessment of the effect of family and schooling in America .A Jenchs, C. .W This book summarizes the results of three years of research at the Center for Educational Policy Research. The eight coauthors were all Research Associates at the Center, and our work there was a collaborative effort. We plagiarized both ideas and data from one another. Most of us also spent a good deal of time criticizing one another's work.

General Description of Research Program .A Garvey, William D. Lin, Nan, Nelson, Carnot E. Tomita, Kazuo .W This article is the first in a series which described the general procedures and some findings of over seventy studies which we conducted from 1966 to 1971 on the information-exchange activities of over 12000 scientists and engineers in a sample of nine physical, social and engineering sciences.. We designed the studies so that (a) the full spectrum of scientific communication media could be explored, (b) the various studies were coupled in order that data obtained from one study could be directly related to those obtained from other studies, (c) the scheduling of the studies was conducted in real time in order that the same body of information could be followed from its inception to its final integration into the general body of scientific knowledge, and (d) the same studies were conducted for all nine disciplines being studied in order that genuine comparisons could be made among them.. The data are now stored on machine-readable magnetic tapes and will be made available to scholars in the field of information science.. .X 48 1 439 91 1 439 96 1 439 98 2 439 123 1 439 300 1 439 421 1 439 439 7 439 440 3 439 456 1 439 515 1 439 528 1 439 533 1 439 580 1 439 609 1 439 614 1 439 618 1 439 624 1 439 635 1 439 696 1 439 727 1 439 809 1 439 813 1 439 818 1 439 870 1 439 1030 2 439 1296 1 439 1298 1 439 1338 1 439 1386 1 439 1396 1 439 1396 1 439 .I 440 .T Research Studies in Scientific Communication: IV. The Continuity of Dissemination of Information by "Productive Scientists" .A Garvey, William D. Lin, Nan Tomita, Kazuo .W This article is the last in series which describes a set of studies which were conducted over a 4,5-year period (1966-1971).. The series of articles sought to describe a comprehensive picture of the dissemination and assimilation of scientific information as it flows through various informal and formal media, from the time a scientist initiates his work until it is published.. The present article examines the continuity of scientific work and information exchange by "productive scientists" two years after the publication of their articles in 1968/1969.. The results indicate that about half of the authors had changed to a subject-matter area which differed from that of their earlier articles, however, such shifts did not decrease authors' productivity nor greatly increase their information needs.. .X 18 1 440 48 1 440 91 1 440 96 1 440 98 1 440 123 1 440 125 1 440 145 1 440 211 1 440 378 1 440 421 1 440 439 3 440 440 5 440 452 1 440 453 1 440 456 1 440 467 1 440 468 1 440 495 1 440 506 1 440 508 1 440 511 1 440 512 1 440 514 1 440 517 1 440 520 1 440 521 1 440 523 1 440 524 1 440 526 1 440 528 1 440 533 2 440 576 1 440 580 2 440 604 1 440 609 2 440 612 1 440 619 1 440 622 1 440 623 1 440 629 1 440 631 1 440 632 1 440 633 1 440 696 1 440 699 1 440 700 1 440 705 1 440 707 1 440 723 1 440 726 1 440 727 2 440 728 1 440 729 1 440 730 1 440 731 1 440 754 1 440 809 1 440 812 1 440 813 2 440 814 1 440 820 1 440 822 1 440 866 1 440 870 2 440 873 1 440 1030 1 440 1078 1 440 1089 1 440 1091 1 440 1143 1 440 1264 1 440 1298 1 440 1302 1 440 1303 1 440 1319 1 440 1338 1 440 1366 1 440 1367 1 440 1368 1 440 1386 1 440 1396 2 440 1396 2 440 .I 441 .T Inference and Disputed Authorship .A Mosteller, F. .W We apply a 200-year-old mathematical theorem to a 175-year-old historical problem, more to advance statistics than history. Though problems of disputed authorship are common in history, literature, and politics, scholars regard their solutions as minor advances. For us the question of whether Hamilton or Madison wrote the disputed Federalist papers has served as a laboratory and demonstration problem for developing and comparing statistical methods. While we help solve this historical problem, our practical application of Bayes' theorem to a large analysis of data is a step in testing the feasibility of a method being explored with fresh attitudes and fresh mathematics. Furthermore, large practical applications have until now been few, and our work helps fill that gap. .X 19 1 441 51 1 441 69 1 441 75 1 441 79 3 441 226 1 441 315 1 441 324 2 441 419 1 441 441 7 441 518 1 441 531 1 441 575 2 441 577 2 441 644 1 441 649 1 441 660 3 441 752 1 441 755 1 441 780 1 441 812 1 441 824 1 441 956 1 441 1084 1 441 1202 1 441 1282 2 441 1294 2 441 1294 2 441 .I 442 .T Storage Analysis of a Compression Coding for Document Data Bases .A Heaps, H.S. .W Analysis is made of the effect of using an efficient code of compression of terms within a document data base.. The storage efficiency is expressed in terms of the vocabulary length and the values of certain parameters which describe the structure of the code..

As a fuzzy relation, L is characterized by its membership function mL:T*U -> [0,1], which associates with each ordered pair (x,y) its grade of membership, mL(x,y), in L.. Given a particular x in T, the membership function mL(x,y) defines a fuzzy set, M(x), in U whose membership function is given by mM(x)(y) = mL(X,y).. The fuzzy set M(x) is defined to be the meaning of the term x, with x playing the role of a name for M(x).. If a term x in T is a concatenation of other terms in T, that is, x = x1 ... xn, xi T, i epsilon 1,...,n, then the meaning of x can be expressed in terms of the meanings of x1,...,xn through the use of a lambda-expression or by solving a system of equations in the membership functions of the xi which are deduced from the syntax tree of x.. The use of this approach is illustrated by examples.. .X 168 1 443 317 1 443 332 1 443 397 3 443 417 4 443 430 4 443 443 5 443 455 4 443 464 3 443 546 1 443 572 1 443 608 1 443 745 4 443 902 1 443 1046 1 443 1204 3 443 1327 1 443 1398 4 443 1399 1 443 1427 3 443 1427 3 443 .I 444 .T On Relevance as a Measure .A Coffman, William .W Relevance is defined as a measure of information conveyed by a document relative to a query..

Unfortunately, however, there is at present no consensus as to how this notion should be defined.. The purpose of this paper is to propose and defend a definition of what it means to say that a piece of stored information is "relevant" to the information need of a retrieval system user.. The suggested definition explicates relevance in terms of logical implication.. For one yes-or-no question answering system which operates with one of the standard formalized languages, the definition provides a mathematically precise criterion of relevance.. For other types of fact retrieval systems and reference retrieval systems, including all systems whose stored information is expressed in natural language, the definition is not mathematically precise but is nevertheless still helpful on a conceptual level.. .X 29 2 445 35 1 445 42 1 445 43 1 445 57 1 445 58 2 445 70 1 445 73 1 445 84 1 445 117 1 445 161 1 445 165 2 445 197 1 445 259 1 445 274 1 445 375 1 445 381 1 445 390 1 445 434 1 445 444 2 445 445 14 445 447 3 445 449 4 445 451 1 445 454 1 445 457 1 445 472 1 445 474 1 445 476 1 445 486 1 445 503 1 445 506 1 445 507 1 445 523 1 445 525 1 445 532 2 445 554 2 445 577 1 445 579 1 445 590 2 445 591 1 445 593 1 445 594 1 445 595 1 445 596 1 445 597 1 445 599 1 445 600 1 445 603 1 445 604 1 445 606 1 445 609 1 445 621 1 445 625 3 445 634 1 445 643 1 445 644 1 445 649 1 445 652 1 445 656 1 445 660 3 445 668 1 445 670 1 445 671 1 445 674 1 445 683 1 445 689 2 445 715 1 445 723 1 445 724 1 445 752 1 445 754 1 445 762 2 445 764 1 445 780 1 445 785 2 445 797 1 445 801 1 445 805 1 445 806 1 445 812 1 445 814 1 445 819 1 445 829 1 445 830 1 445 836 1 445 866 1 445 867 1 445 874 1 445 893 1 445 895 1 445 901 1 445 956 1 445 989 1 445 1016 1 445 1030 1 445 1045 1 445 1077 2 445 1084 1 445 1195 1 445 1201 2 445 1215 1 445 1231 2 445 1235 1 445 1255 1 445 1265 1 445 1281 1 445 1282 2 445 1285 1 445 1298 1 445 1299 1 445 1327 2 445 1386 1 445 1405 1 445 1448 1 445 1448 1 445 .I 446 .T Computer Assisted Indexing .A Gray, W. A. .W The paper describes a technique which enables an on line computer based information retrieval system to aid the indexers by selecting possible index terms to be assigned to a new document entering the system.. The method analyses the index terms assigned to the references cited by the new article.. This produces a list of index terms weighted according to their expected correlation with the subject matter of the new article.. Thus, the indexer is presented with the weighted list of proposed indexing terms as an aid.. An evaluation is made of the results produced by the technique for a trial set of documents.. These documents have already been indexed for the MEDLARS system.. The list of actual index terms for this trial set of documents is compared with the set of index terms proposed by the technique for each document.. The results of this comparison are encouraging, and they are discussed in the paper.. The economic aspects of implementing the technique in a working information retrieval system is considered.. This included the expected benefits, and an estimate of the cost of using the technique as an aid in terms of computer time and indexer time.. .X 39 1 446 50 1 446 172 1 446 174 1 446 175 1 446 176 1 446 191 1 446 194 1 446 212 1 446 274 1 446 326 1 446 332 1 446 396 1 446 417 1 446 446 6 446 458 1 446 473 1 446 485 2 446 489 2 446 493 1 446 499 3 446 500 2 446 503 1 446 517 2 446 522 1 446 527 2 446 572 2 446 576 1 446 577 1 446 579 1 446 615 1 446 616 1 446 632 1 446 640 1 446 773 1 446 830 1 446 902 1 446 958 1 446 1033 1 446 1084 1 446 1207 1 446 1279 1 446 1283 1 446 1327 1 446 1387 1 446 1426 1 446 1426 1 446 .I 447 .T A Note on the Concept of "Relevance" .A Foskett, D.J. .W Two recent articles in this journal (Konigova [1], Cooper [2]) have gone beyond the usual slapdash use of the words "relevant" and "relevance," and have attempted to explicate the concept further. Both attempts only partially succeed. Konigova proposes three types: formal relevance, subject/content relevance and subjective relevance (or pertinency). This classification has validity, but is not further elaborated, and indeed she reverts to a less precise language; for example, in defining "second order noise," she uses the ambiguous phrase "a formally relevant document which is not really relevant" - presumably meaning not subjectively relevant, according to the real need of the enquirer. And in her mathematics, as she admits, "no account is taken of the subjective relevance (pertinence)." Yet this is surely the true aim of the system. .X 15 1 447 29 1 447 35 1 447 42 1 447 43 1 447 58 1 447 70 1 447 84 1 447 152 1 447 313 1 447 444 2 447 445 3 447 447 7 447 449 3 447 474 1 447 486 1 447 514 1 447 523 1 447 532 2 447 554 1 447 557 1 447 574 1 447 625 2 447 639 1 447 660 1 447 740 1 447 741 1 447 752 1 447 762 1 447 764 1 447 803 1 447 806 1 447 893 1 447 1016 1 447 1030 1 447 1045 1 447 1084 1 447 1195 1 447 1201 1 447 1235 1 447 1281 1 447 1285 1 447 1319 1 447 1327 1 447 1386 1 447 1386 1 447 .I 448 .T An Evaluation of Query Expansion by the Addition of Clustered Terms for a Document Retrieval System .A Minker, Jack Wilson, Gerald A. Zimmerman, Barbara H. .W An evaluation of graph theoretical clusters of index terms which can be extracted from an automatically indexed document collection, and the effects of employing such cluster in automatic document retrieval is described.. The graph theoretical cluster which were developed from six data base under two different cluster definition were analyzed for average size and related data.. The clusters were also used to expand the queries in each of six data bases to determine the effect of the expansions on the document retrieval results.. Although a large variety of clusters and associated query explanations were obtained, no significant improvements in the document retrieval performance were achieved.. In some cases, however, significant degradations in the retrieval performance occurred.. Although seemingly meaningful clusters can be obtained, the results indicate that the effort involved in finding clusters and adding the clustered terms to queries is far to great to warrant their use in an operational system.. The data bases employed were relatively small, and the authors caution against generalizing these results to large data bases or other situations.. .X 51 1 448 69 1 448 71 2 448 77 2 448 79 2 448 124 1 448 125 1 448 165 1 448 168 1 448 175 2 448 176 2 448 315 1 448 381 1 448 382 1 448 448 6 448 452 1 448 462 1 448 480 1 448 483 1 448 484 2 448 486 1 448 488 2 448 491 1 448 493 1 448 503 1 448 507 1 448 509 2 448 510 1 448 511 1 448 512 1 448 516 1 448 517 1 448 518 1 448 520 1 448 521 1 448 522 2 448 523 1 448 526 1 448 527 2 448 528 2 448 529 1 448 531 1 448 565 3 448 566 1 448 575 1 448 581 1 448 596 1 448 603 1 448 608 1 448 610 1 448 615 1 448 625 1 448 626 1 448 633 1 448 636 1 448 659 3 448 660 1 448 700 1 448 705 1 448 707 1 448 715 1 448 727 1 448 754 2 448 790 1 448 805 1 448 809 1 448 810 2 448 812 2 448 813 1 448 814 1 448 817 2 448 824 2 448 825 1 448 875 1 448 894 2 448 1051 1 448 1202 1 448 1294 2 448 1303 1 448 1327 2 448 1364 1 448 1366 1 448 1367 1 448 1368 1 448 1419 1 448 1427 1 448 1427 1 448 .I 449 .T Situational Relevance .A Wilson, Patrick .W The concept of situational relevance is introduced, based on W.S.Cooper's definitions of logical relevance, on the notion of evidential relevance drawn from inductive logic, on the notions of a personal stock of knowledge and a set of personal concerns, the latter explained in terms of preferences over ranges of alternatives.. Situationally relevant items of information are those that answer, or logically help to answer, questions of concern.. Significant situationally relevant information is explained in terms of changes of view in relation to questions of concern.. It is claimed that situational relevance is an explication of the ordinary notion of practical relevance, and that it is the appropriate relevance concept to use in evaluation of systems supplying practically relevant information.. .X 15 1 449 29 1 449 35 1 449 42 1 449 43 1 449 57 1 449 58 1 449 70 1 449 73 1 449 84 1 449 126 1 449 152 1 449 259 1 449 274 1 449 313 1 449 333 1 449 390 1 449 434 1 449 444 2 449 445 4 449 447 3 449 449 7 449 474 1 449 486 1 449 523 1 449 525 1 449 526 1 449 530 1 449 532 2 449 533 1 449 553 1 449 554 1 449 574 2 449 577 1 449 616 1 449 625 3 449 628 1 449 634 1 449 640 1 449 643 1 449 644 1 449 649 1 449 652 1 449 660 2 449 752 1 449 754 1 449 762 1 449 764 1 449 780 1 449 785 1 449 802 1 449 803 1 449 812 1 449 819 1 449 823 1 449 829 1 449 830 1 449 874 2 449 877 1 449 878 1 449 893 1 449 895 1 449 940 1 449 941 1 449 992 1 449 993 1 449 995 1 449 1016 1 449 1030 1 449 1045 1 449 1079 1 449 1084 1 449 1195 1 449 1201 1 449 1215 1 449 1216 1 449 1235 1 449 1255 1 449 1265 1 449 1281 1 449 1282 1 449 1285 1 449 1305 1 449 1306 1 449 1313 1 449 1319 1 449 1327 1 449 1386 1 449 1421 1 449 1434 1 449 1435 1 449 1436 1 449 1448 1 449 1448 1 449 .I 450 .T Selection of Equifrequent Word Fragments for Information Retrieval .A Schuegraf, E. J. Heaps, H. S. .W The design of programs to research large document data bases is discussed with regard to the use of compression coding combined with adoption of word fragments as the basic language elements.. An algorithm is described for determination of a set of almost equifrequent fragments.. Its efficiency is tested for a sample data base formed from the MARC tapes.. A certain threshold frequency acts as a parameter whose value determines the number of distinct fragments.. The selection algorithm is designed to give some preference to choice of the longest fragments and hence allow compact coding of the data base by concatenation of non-overlapping fragments.. .X 19 1 450 44 1 450 57 1 450 124 1 450 127 1 450 129 1 450 190 1 450 191 1 450 197 1 450 211 1 450 214 1 450 218 1 450 228 2 450 243 1 450 307 1 450 318 2 450 321 2 450 324 1 450 329 4 450 330 1 450 378 1 450 416 3 450 442 4 450 450 6 450 451 1 450 452 1 450 459 1 450 468 1 450 484 1 450 492 1 450 495 2 450 508 1 450 511 6 450 512 1 450 514 1 450 518 1 450 520 1 450 521 1 450 523 1 450 524 3 450 525 1 450 526 1 450 529 1 450 530 1 450 534 1 450 546 1 450 553 1 450 563 1 450 565 3 450 567 3 450 579 1 450 594 1 450 603 1 450 604 1 450 606 1 450 609 1 450 610 1 450 611 1 450 612 1 450 625 1 450 626 1 450 630 1 450 636 1 450 637 1 450 642 1 450 648 1 450 650 1 450 692 1 450 696 1 450 699 1 450 703 1 450 705 1 450 708 1 450 726 1 450 727 1 450 728 1 450 731 1 450 732 1 450 733 1 450 734 1 450 736 1 450 738 1 450 739 1 450 740 1 450 741 1 450 742 1 450 743 1 450 744 1 450 755 1 450 791 1 450 820 1 450 826 1 450 827 1 450 835 2 450 851 2 450 862 2 450 867 1 450 875 3 450 879 1 450 883 1 450 894 1 450 1004 1 450 1035 1 450 1078 1 450 1089 1 450 1091 1 450 1194 2 450 1199 3 450 1207 1 450 1264 1 450 1297 1 450 1303 1 450 1356 1 450 1362 1 450 1364 1 450 1368 1 450 1370 1 450 1372 1 450 1373 1 450 1374 1 450 1375 1 450 1376 1 450 1377 1 450 1377 1 450 .I 451 .T Interaction Between Requesters and a Large Mechanized retrieval System .A Lancaster, F.W. .W In a large mechanized retrieval system, a certain proportion of the search failures are likely to be directly attributable to inadequate user-system interaction..

A. .W A fuzzy set is a class of objects with a continuum of grades of membership.. Such a set is characterized by a membership (characteristic) function which assigns to each object a grade of membership ranging between zero and one.. The notions of inclusion, union, intersection, complement, relation, convexity, etc., are extended to such sets, and various properties of these notions in the context of fuzzy sets are established.. In particular, a separation theorem for convex fuzzy sets is proved without requiring that the fuzzy sets be disjoint.. .X 25 1 455 39 1 455 52 1 455 61 1 455 66 1 455 175 4 455 310 1 455 315 2 455 318 1 455 350 1 455 397 4 455 417 3 455 420 1 455 430 5 455 443 4 455 455 18 455 464 6 455 605 1 455 632 1 455 667 1 455 745 6 455 893 1 455 1117 1 455 1119 1 455 1137 1 455 1140 1 455 1141 1 455 1144 1 455 1204 3 455 1287 1 455 1327 1 455 1398 4 455 1409 1 455 1427 3 455 1427 3 455 .I 456 .T Information and Its User .A Brittain, J.M. .W In science and technology user studies are numerous and have a history of some twenty years. The relevance of the methodology of science user studies to the social sciences is considered in Chapter 2. The pressing need in user studies, in science as well as social science, is for a general body of theory about the flow of information in research and teaching communities. Some of the fundamental characteristics of social science research and its literature which have a bearing upon investigations of information needs and requirements are considered in the first part of Chapter 3, and the second part is devoted to a review of empirical studies in the social sciences. Other relevant material about the use made of information is discussed in Chapter 4 on systematic approaches. .X 4 1 456 9 1 456 32 1 456 48 3 456 95 1 456 96 1 456 98 2 456 102 1 456 104 1 456 106 1 456 110 1 456 111 2 456 112 1 456 113 1 456 131 1 456 137 2 456 163 1 456 170 1 456 175 1 456 207 1 456 224 1 456 298 1 456 311 1 456 312 1 456 345 1 456 381 1 456 439 1 456 440 1 456 456 15 456 458 1 456 514 1 456 533 2 456 545 1 456 554 1 456 560 1 456 575 1 456 579 1 456 591 1 456 595 1 456 599 1 456 603 1 456 607 1 456 615 1 456 619 1 456 620 1 456 621 1 456 625 1 456 630 1 456 752 1 456 760 1 456 768 1 456 772 1 456 774 1 456 780 1 456 783 1 456 793 2 456 799 1 456 803 1 456 811 1 456 816 1 456 822 1 456 837 1 456 900 2 456 907 1 456 913 1 456 961 1 456 962 1 456 964 1 456 968 1 456 1030 1 456 1032 2 456 1045 1 456 1056 2 456 1062 1 456 1068 1 456 1203 1 456 1238 1 456 1254 1 456 1285 1 456 1287 1 456 1291 1 456 1296 1 456 1321 1 456 1338 1 456 1340 1 456 1344 1 456 1346 1 456 1347 1 456 1407 1 456 1445 1 456 1445 1 456 .I 457 .T Information, Mechanism, and Meaning .A Mackay, D.M. .W In a day when it is hard enough in most fields of science to keep abreast of new and non-redundant literature, the publication of collected papers, like the estate of holy matrimony, is something not to be undertaken 'unadvisedly, lightly or wantonly'. In the present case it would not have been considered at all but for the kindly initiative of my respected friend Professor Roman Jakobson, whose persistent encouragement alone overcame that distaste which most of us feel for our ten- to twenty-year-old productions and brought this first volume to the point of no return. It is true that these exploratory papers were scattered among an unconscionably awkward selection of publications for anyone wanting to follow them up. On the other hand, as most of them were written for specific occasions, each of which demanded some rehearsal of points covered in earlier essays, the resulting repetitiveness presented a special problem. With occasional exceptions, redundancy could have been eliminated only at the cost of mutilating individual papers. The solution adopted has been to leave almost all repetitive passages intact, offsetting in small print those that can be skipped without loss by readers of the earlier chapters. Where some comment has seemed necessary, by way of foreword or postscript to the original papers, the passages added have been italicized. .X 3 1 457 58 1 457 85 1 457 274 1 457 361 1 457 445 1 457 457 5 457 467 1 457 604 1 457 660 1 457 665 1 457 803 1 457 911 1 457 1037 1 457 1045 1 457 1309 1 457 1309 1 457 .I 458 .T Information Retrieval Systems .A Lancaster, F.W. .W This book is concerned primarily with those "intellectual" factors that significantly affect the performance of all information retrieval systems; namely, - indexing policy and practice - vocabulary control - searching strategies - interaction between the system and its users My viewpoint is that of the evaluator of information systems. I have therefore paid considerable attention to a discussion of the requirements of users of information systems and the measurement of system performance in terms of the efficient and economical satisfaction of these requirements. The book does not concern itself, except indirectly, with equipment for the implementation of retrieval systems, a topic that is adequately covered by other volumes in this seris. Moreover, it is my contention that the importance of "hardware" and "data processing" aspects of information systems has been exaggerated in the United States, with some detriment to the performance of many systems. .X 29 1 458 39 1 458 51 1 458 57 1 458 61 3 458 62 1 458 67 1 458 68 1 458 69 1 458 70 1 458 71 2 458 72 1 458 73 2 458 77 1 458 114 3 458 119 1 458 134 1 458 135 1 458 144 1 458 146 2 458 153 1 458 154 1 458 172 1 458 175 11 458 176 2 458 177 1 458 191 1 458 194 2 458 206 2 458 207 2 458 208 1 458 212 2 458 224 1 458 241 1 458 261 1 458 274 2 458 298 1 458 310 1 458 318 1 458 320 1 458 346 1 458 355 1 458 374 1 458 381 1 458 382 4 458 389 2 458 390 2 458 408 1 458 417 1 458 419 1 458 420 1 458 422 1 458 446 1 458 456 1 458 458 33 458 459 1 458 471 1 458 476 1 458 477 1 458 478 1 458 479 1 458 480 1 458 481 1 458 483 2 458 484 2 458 485 3 458 488 1 458 503 1 458 514 1 458 526 1 458 546 1 458 554 1 458 562 1 458 564 1 458 565 2 458 566 2 458 570 1 458 572 1 458 575 1 458 577 2 458 579 3 458 591 1 458 595 1 458 599 1 458 603 1 458 606 2 458 615 2 458 619 1 458 620 1 458 621 1 458 625 1 458 626 1 458 627 1 458 630 1 458 640 1 458 644 1 458 660 2 458 662 2 458 664 1 458 666 1 458 680 1 458 704 1 458 752 2 458 754 1 458 761 1 458 770 2 458 776 1 458 779 2 458 780 3 458 781 1 458 785 2 458 796 1 458 802 1 458 814 1 458 822 1 458 825 1 458 826 1 458 902 1 458 907 1 458 911 1 458 966 1 458 981 1 458 982 1 458 1024 1 458 1033 1 458 1035 1 458 1044 1 458 1051 1 458 1053 1 458 1084 1 458 1118 1 458 1124 1 458 1154 1 458 1165 1 458 1167 1 458 1175 2 458 1215 1 458 1218 1 458 1248 1 458 1254 1 458 1255 1 458 1279 1 458 1282 1 458 1317 1 458 1327 2 458 1358 1 458 1387 1 458 1392 1 458 1393 1 458 1402 1 458 1410 1 458 1417 1 458 1431 1 458 1448 3 458 1448 3 458 .I 459 .T Information Retrieval On-Line .A Lancaster, F.W. .W This book deals with on-line systems for bibliographic search and retrieval. The literature on this subject is increasing rapidly and new systems are appearing all the time.

Our emphasis is on the design, evaluation, and use of on-line retrieval systems, primarily from the viewpoint of the planner and manager of information services. It is oriented toward the "intellectual" aspects of information retrieval rather than the hardware or programming aspects.

Thus, hardware, materials, and processes used in connection with information systems are discussed first, in Chapters Two through Four. The subject of information retrieval per se begins with Chapters Five and Six, which have to do with librarianship and documentation. Because of their somewhat historical slant, these chapters (along with Seven) are the only ones taken from the 1963 book which adhere to their original character. Chapter Seven presents a simplified concept of an information system and its components, and paves the way for discussion of computerized retrieval in the chapters to follow, especially for data retrieval in Chapter Eight and document retrieval in Chapter Nine. Chapters Ten through Twelve, on language processing, evaluation, and user studies, describe important facets of the information retrieval field that have developed strongly since 1963. .X 6 1 461 125 1 461 127 1 461 129 1 461 363 2 461 403 1 461 432 1 461 460 1 461 461 6 461 551 1 461 580 1 461 622 1 461 642 1 461 643 1 461 644 1 461 645 1 461 646 1 461 649 1 461 650 1 461 708 1 461 736 1 461 737 1 461 738 1 461 739 1 461 741 1 461 1374 1 461 1376 1 461 1376 1 461 .I 462 .T Information Retrieval .A Van Rijsbergen, C.J. .W The material of this book is aimed at advanced undergraduate information (or computer) science students, postgraduate library science students, and research workers in the field of IR.

The two projects were rather different as to purpose, method, and reliability of result (that is, statistical significance). Dr. Crowley's investigation, the first in point of time, arose partly from his experience in a county library. His curiousity about the real result of the reference activities (as different from merely counting the questions answered) led him to ask, "Is there substantial difference between the claims made by librarians for reference work and the actual result as observed in a number of different situations by individuals posing as clients?" The study which followed from this question was, then, exploratory and necessarily less rigidly controlled than was the second study of this pair. .X 161 1 470 364 1 470 387 1 470 470 11 470 925 1 470 1008 2 470 1018 1 470 1032 1 470 1056 1 470 1145 1 470 1263 1 470 1353 1 470 1373 1 470 1380 1 470 1384 1 470 1423 1 470 1423 1 470 .I 471 .T Information Storage and Retrieval: tools, elements, theories .A Becker, J. .W This textbook grew out of some discussions between the authors about the interdisciplinary character of the field of information storage and retrieval.

A university-level course was developed, based on the concept that each person should be made aware of how others could help him.

There are different ways and means of accomplishing this, and these methods of improving the organization and retrieval of personal document collections are the principal topics to be covered. The book is addressed primarily to the researcher in any subject field who desires to improve the index to his document collection or start an index to his document collection but does not quite know how to go about it. An index is herein defined as a systematic organization of a collection of documents or data. There are indexes to various types of document and data collections, and there are various types of indexes. Examples of familiar indexes are indexes to individual books, to collections of books (the card catalog in a library), to the contents of journals or periodicals (for example, the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature), to collections of facts (for example, a telephone directory), or to numeric data (such as physical constants of a group of compounds or numeric data collected in a questionnaire study). .X 161 1 472 197 1 472 375 1 472 445 1 472 454 1 472 472 6 472 503 1 472 506 1 472 507 1 472 554 1 472 579 1 472 591 1 472 593 1 472 594 1 472 595 1 472 596 1 472 597 1 472 599 1 472 600 1 472 603 1 472 604 1 472 606 1 472 723 1 472 724 1 472 801 1 472 805 1 472 806 1 472 836 1 472 866 1 472 867 1 472 956 1 472 989 1 472 1298 1 472 1299 1 472 1327 1 472 1405 1 472 1405 1 472 .I 473 .T Bibliographic Coupling Extended in Time: Ten Case Histories .A Kessler, M.M. .W The methods of bibliographic coupling were applied to 8186 papers in thirty- five volumes of the Physical Review (Vol. 77, 1950 to Vol. 111, 1958)..

Newill, V.A. .W A recognition of the importance of useful evaluative techniques is an indirect or secondary result of the hugely expanded national investment in scientific research. Such recognition has followed the expenditure of much time and money on the development of information systems which utilize advances in information handling and data processing (primarily computer-oriented) to handle the "explosion" of recorded information. Information scientists from a typically diverse group of parent disciplines are now cooperating not only to develop methodologies of evaluation of such systems, but to apply them. .X 27 1 474 29 1 474 35 1 474 42 1 474 43 1 474 58 1 474 70 2 474 73 1 474 75 1 474 84 1 474 134 1 474 149 1 474 319 1 474 389 1 474 390 2 474 444 1 474 445 1 474 447 1 474 449 1 474 474 7 474 486 1 474 532 1 474 565 1 474 566 1 474 625 1 474 660 1 474 762 1 474 764 1 474 773 1 474 780 3 474 785 2 474 893 1 474 966 1 474 1016 1 474 1030 1 474 1045 1 474 1084 1 474 1195 1 474 1201 1 474 1235 1 474 1255 1 474 1279 1 474 1281 1 474 1282 3 474 1285 1 474 1307 1 474 1422 1 474 1422 1 474 .I 475 .T Factors Affecting the Preferences of Industrial Personnel for Information Gathering Methods .A Rosenberg, Victor .W A structured questionnaire was administered to professional personnel in industrial and government organizations, asking the subjects to rank eight information gathering methods according to their preference in given hypothetical situation.. The subjects were then asked to rate the methods on a seven point scale according to (a) ease of use and (b) amount of information expected.. The subjects were divided into two groups determined by their time spent in research or research related activities.. The groups were designated "research" and "nonresearch".. A statistical analysis of the data from 96 subjects (52 in research, 44 in nonresearch) showed that no statistically significant differences were present in either the rankings or ratings between research and nonresearch personnel.. The results of the study infer that the ease of use of an information gathering method is more important than the amount of information expected for information gathering methods in industrial and government, regardless of the research orientation of the users.. .X 2 1 475 13 1 475 15 1 475 29 1 475 31 1 475 32 1 475 66 1 475 76 1 475 95 1 475 100 1 475 103 1 475 132 1 475 137 1 475 139 1 475 152 2 475 155 1 475 157 1 475 183 1 475 191 1 475 195 1 475 201 1 475 203 1 475 204 1 475 210 1 475 312 1 475 356 1 475 359 1 475 371 1 475 373 1 475 379 1 475 382 1 475 459 1 475 475 11 475 552 1 475 592 1 475 594 1 475 602 1 475 656 1 475 658 3 475 664 1 475 728 1 475 748 1 475 760 2 475 770 1 475 771 1 475 774 1 475 775 1 475 776 1 475 783 1 475 788 2 475 789 1 475 837 1 475 839 1 475 907 1 475 967 2 475 968 1 475 977 1 475 1019 1 475 1038 1 475 1055 1 475 1056 1 475 1173 1 475 1203 1 475 1254 1 475 1281 1 475 1284 1 475 1288 1 475 1291 1 475 1303 1 475 1358 1 475 1361 1 475 1404 1 475 1451 1 475 1451 1 475 .I 476 .T On the Articulation of Surrogates: An Attempt at an Epistemological Foundation .A Perreault, J.M. .W There are two major purposes, in mind, for this gathering. The first is the most general that can be proposed for any gathering: the simple advantage of bringing together those who have been at work on a single problem or at least a small class of problems - especially when this problem has not previously benefited from exclusive and thematic collaboration among its investigators. To further such thematic collaboration, the formal presentations have been scheduled no more than three each day, with time left after each presentation for (formal) discussion here in the conference room, and with as much time as possible - given the number of presentations - left free for informal discussion. The second purpose is one of even greater necessity, in my opinion, though one not so obvious as the first. Over and above the hope for interchange of what has already been thought out - in the form of personal contact, where the presence of the originator of the system or theory can reinforce the printed word in its usual and ineffable way - it is my hope that we will all be able (especially in our informal discussions) to penetrate beyond mere similarity and difference to the underlying philosophical bases of syntactic relationship. .X 29 1 476 68 1 476 69 1 476 117 1 476 154 1 476 165 1 476 175 1 476 257 1 476 259 1 476 260 1 476 261 1 476 346 1 476 382 1 476 445 1 476 458 1 476 476 5 476 477 3 476 478 1 476 479 1 476 480 1 476 484 1 476 485 1 476 525 1 476 542 1 476 566 1 476 590 1 476 621 1 476 653 1 476 668 1 476 670 1 476 671 1 476 674 1 476 680 1 476 683 1 476 689 1 476 704 1 476 715 1 476 758 1 476 781 1 476 797 1 476 819 1 476 838 1 476 1066 1 476 1077 1 476 1118 1 476 1175 1 476 1231 3 476 1255 1 476 1259 2 476 1391 2 476 1394 1 476 1429 2 476 1430 2 476 1430 2 476 .I 477 .T Some Remarks on Information Languages, Their Analysis and Comparison .A Soergel, D. .W "The machine language [information language in our terminology D.S.] should not be confused with the machine code: (Upenskii, 59:357).

This paper is devoted mainly to problems on the idea plane. "The IR-language I want to talk about, is the language in which the information to be retrieved is formulated, i.e. a declarative sentence language, not the imperative sentence language of the programmer-retriever" (Bohnert in Samet, 62.1:10), that is, the information language should not be confused with the programming language. (To avoid misunderstandings it would perhaps be better to say "descriptive" instead of "declarative" and to state explicitly that in a descriptive sentence an imperative may be described which is, however, not to be executed by the system but to be retrieved by appropriate searches.) .X 29 1 477 68 1 477 69 1 477 151 1 477 154 1 477 160 1 477 175 1 477 258 1 477 259 1 477 261 1 477 263 1 477 309 1 477 346 1 477 382 1 477 388 1 477 416 1 477 454 1 477 458 1 477 476 3 477 477 9 477 478 1 477 479 1 477 480 1 477 484 1 477 485 1 477 501 1 477 504 1 477 516 1 477 542 1 477 558 1 477 566 1 477 600 1 477 653 4 477 680 1 477 704 1 477 746 1 477 758 1 477 781 3 477 791 1 477 802 1 477 838 3 477 852 1 477 898 2 477 901 1 477 970 1 477 1066 1 477 1074 1 477 1075 1 477 1118 1 477 1175 1 477 1231 2 477 1259 4 477 1391 5 477 1394 1 477 1402 1 477 1414 1 477 1422 1 477 1429 3 477 1430 3 477 1430 3 477 .I 478 .T Concept Organization for Information Retrieval .A Farradane, J. .W All analysis of information for storage and of questions for effecting retrieval must be in terms of concepts and the relations between them. The concepts may be just words (descriptors), as in simple post-co-ordinate keyword indexing systems, or they may be class-terms or other idea-groupings, as in classifications. The relations between concepts often appear to be absent, but if more than one word is used in indexing or in a search there is clearly an implicit relation between them in the mind of the indexer or questioner, and other relations possible between the words would lead to false drops. Classification has traditionally been a method of organization of concepts in which the relations between concepts are ostensibly displayed in the form of groupings called classes. .X 29 1 478 68 1 478 69 1 478 160 2 478 175 1 478 257 1 478 261 1 478 346 1 478 382 1 478 458 1 478 476 1 478 477 1 478 478 9 478 479 1 478 480 4 478 484 1 478 485 1 478 516 3 478 566 1 478 680 1 478 704 1 478 746 1 478 758 2 478 781 1 478 785 1 478 825 1 478 1118 1 478 1175 1 478 1215 3 478 1448 1 478 1448 1 478 .I 479 .T Automatic Term Classifications and Retrieval .A Sparck-Jones, K. Needham, R. M. .W Recent research at the Cambridge Language Research Unit has been concerned with the application of the automatic classification techniques associated with the "theory of clumps" to document description obtained from the Aslib-Cranfield project, and with the use of the resulting term classifications in retrieval.. A substantial program engine has been developed which computes similarities between pairs of terms on the basis of their occurrences and co-occurrences in document descriptions, and finds classes of terms with strong similarity connections by minimizing the cohesion between a potential clump and its complement; and which retrieves using single terms and/or term classes according to specification, and calculates recall and precision ratios for sets of requests.. Serious tests with different similarity and clump definitions and with different modes of using term classes are still in progress, so on definite conclusions about the value of this kind of classification are presented.. .X 26 1 479 29 1 479 45 1 479 68 1 479 69 2 479 168 1 479 174 2 479 175 2 479 261 1 479 310 1 479 324 1 479 346 1 479 382 2 479 419 1 479 422 1 479 454 1 479 458 1 479 476 1 479 477 1 479 478 1 479 479 6 479 480 1 479 483 1 479 484 1 479 485 4 479 488 1 479 509 1 479 558 1 479 562 1 479 564 2 479 566 3 479 570 1 479 660 1 479 661 2 479 662 2 479 663 2 479 664 1 479 680 1 479 704 1 479 769 2 479 781 1 479 1118 1 479 1144 1 479 1175 1 479 1327 1 479 1419 1 479 1419 1 479 .I 480 .T Some Structural Characteristics of Articulated Subject Indexes .A Armitage, Janet E. Lynch, Michael F. .W An articulated subject index is one in which logical transformations of natural language phrases containing prepositions or connectives are employed to organize the noun phrases as subject headings, with subordinate displays of the remainder of the phrases.. The best-known example of the articulated subject index is that to Chemical Abstracts.. It has been shown that a well-defined transformation links the entry, as it appears in the index, with the original phrase, in natural order, as it was first compiled by the indexer.. A reverse transformation can be used to generate potential index entries from indexing phrases containing one or more prepositions or connectives.. A simple model has been devised for the generation of articulated subject index entries from natural language indexing phrases which exclude infinitives or words acting as gerunds or participles.. A sorting algorithm has also been developed, the purpose of which is to select those entries which lead to greatest organization in the index display.. Deviations from the model in manually-produced indexes are described.. The potential value of certain of these characteristics in information retrieval is examined.. .X 29 1 480 34 1 480 49 1 480 51 1 480 53 1 480 54 1 480 68 1 480 69 2 480 71 1 480 77 1 480 79 1 480 86 1 480 150 1 480 168 1 480 175 2 480 176 1 480 194 1 480 252 1 480 258 1 480 261 1 480 315 1 480 346 1 480 347 1 480 371 2 480 382 2 480 448 1 480 458 1 480 465 2 480 466 1 480 476 1 480 477 1 480 478 4 480 479 1 480 480 13 480 483 1 480 484 2 480 485 1 480 486 1 480 488 1 480 491 1 480 493 1 480 503 1 480 507 1 480 509 1 480 510 1 480 512 1 480 517 1 480 520 1 480 522 1 480 527 1 480 528 1 480 531 1 480 565 2 480 566 2 480 581 1 480 596 1 480 603 1 480 608 1 480 633 1 480 659 1 480 674 1 480 680 2 480 681 1 480 682 1 480 704 2 480 711 1 480 714 1 480 715 4 480 716 1 480 717 1 480 746 2 480 748 1 480 754 1 480 758 2 480 781 2 480 790 1 480 805 1 480 809 1 480 810 1 480 812 1 480 813 1 480 814 1 480 817 2 480 824 1 480 825 2 480 894 1 480 1024 1 480 1051 1 480 1054 1 480 1118 1 480 1175 1 480 1215 4 480 1279 1 480 1294 1 480 1327 1 480 1391 1 480 1405 1 480 1419 1 480 1427 1 480 1427 1 480 .I 481 .T Integrated Information Processing and the Case for a National Network .A Dammers, H.

J. Cheney, A. G. Whelan, E.K. .W A small-scale, computer-based SDI system in plasma physics and the related subjects is described briefly.. The system serves about 100 research scientists and engineers and uses title input only in order to minimize input costs.. The implications of this approach and its effect upon the system parameters is discussed.. Some comparison of the costs of the computer-based system with those of a manual system is made.. Further experiments are described in which the service is expanded to external users on a world-wide basis, the aim being to compare, under controlled conditions, the parameters of the small-scale internal service with those of an external service on a wide scale..

Results from three document collections indicate that word normalization is efficiently performed by automatic thesaurus lookup, while phrase matching procedures, statistical association methods, and concept hierarchies are useful for special applications.. Automatic document clustering schemes and use-interactive feedback methods permit rapid searches of large collections.. Abstracts are found to be superior to titles as a base for content analysis in a document retrieval system and almost as good as complete texts.. Proper procedures for designing dictionaries and searching requests are discussed..The practicality of large scale document centers and their proper design are considered in light of these results.. .X 30 1 483 45 1 483 51 1 483 61 1 483 62 1 483 67 1 483 69 1 483 70 1 483 71 2 483 72 1 483 73 1 483 77 2 483 78 1 483 79 1 483 135 1 483 168 1 483 174 1 483 175 4 483 176 2 483 206 1 483 207 1 483 208 1 483 310 1 483 315 1 483 363 1 483 382 2 483 419 1 483 422 1 483 434 1 483 448 1 483 454 1 483 458 2 483 479 1 483 480 1 483 481 1 483 483 6 483 484 2 483 485 2 483 486 1 483 488 1 483 491 1 483 493 1 483 498 1 483 501 1 483 503 1 483 507 1 483 509 1 483 510 1 483 512 1 483 517 1 483 520 1 483 522 1 483 527 1 483 528 1 483 531 1 483 564 1 483 565 1 483 566 1 483 581 1 483 596 1 483 603 1 483 608 1 483 633 1 483 659 1 483 661 2 483 662 1 483 663 1 483 715 1 483 754 1 483 769 1 483 779 2 483 780 1 483 790 1 483 805 1 483 809 1 483 810 1 483 812 1 483 813 1 483 814 1 483 817 1 483 824 1 483 825 1 483 894 1 483 981 1 483 982 1 483 1051 1 483 1144 1 483 1294 1 483 1327 2 483 1358 1 483 1402 1 483 1410 1 483 1414 1 483 1417 1 483 1419 2 483 1427 1 483 1448 1 483 1448 1 483 .I 484 .T Negotiation of Inquiries in an On-Line Retrieval System .A Hillman, Donald J. .W The focus of discussion is a prototype retrieval system with three major components for text processing, connectivity and decision operations.. Each of these components is based on a distinguishable subtheory.. Computer programs for the first two components have been written for a GE 225 computer.. The complete prototype system is now being programmed for operation in a time-shared environment.. It is a user-oriented system, with planned capabilities for the browsing and man-machine interaction.. A major goal is to develop procedures whereby research workers can conduct an on-line dialog via terminals with a body of scientific information.. Each user-submitted inquiry is a set of sentences without restriction as to vocabulary or form..

E. Salton, G. .W Two widely used criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of information retrieval system are, respectively, the recall and the precision.. Since the determination of these measures is dependent on a distinction between documents which are relevant to a given query and documents which are not relevant to that query, it has sometimes been claimed that an accurate, generally valid evaluation cannot be based on recall and precision measures.. A study was made to determine that effect of variations in relevance assessments on the average recall and precision values used to measure retrieval effectiveness.. Using a collection of 1200 documents in information science for test purposes, it is found that large scale differences in the relevance assessments do not produce significant variations in average recall and precision.. It thus appears that properly computed recall and precision data may represent effectiveness indicators which are generally valid for many distinct user classes.. .X 28 2 486 29 1 486 35 1 486 42 1 486 43 2 486 45 1 486 50 1 486 51 1 486 58 1 486 69 1 486 70 1 486 71 2 486 72 1 486 73 1 486 74 1 486 75 2 486 77 2 486 78 1 486 79 2 486 81 1 486 82 1 486 83 1 486 84 1 486 86 1 486 149 1 486 153 1 486 156 1 486 168 1 486 175 2 486 176 1 486 211 1 486 212 1 486 245 1 486 277 1 486 279 1 486 280 1 486 315 1 486 382 1 486 444 1 486 445 1 486 447 1 486 448 1 486 449 1 486 474 1 486 480 1 486 483 1 486 484 1 486 486 8 486 487 1 486 488 1 486 491 1 486 493 1 486 503 1 486 507 1 486 509 1 486 510 1 486 512 1 486 517 1 486 520 1 486 522 1 486 527 1 486 528 1 486 531 1 486 532 1 486 565 1 486 566 1 486 581 1 486 596 1 486 603 1 486 608 1 486 625 1 486 633 1 486 659 1 486 660 1 486 715 1 486 720 1 486 748 1 486 754 1 486 762 1 486 764 1 486 781 1 486 785 1 486 786 1 486 787 1 486 788 1 486 789 1 486 790 1 486 791 1 486 795 1 486 805 1 486 809 1 486 810 1 486 812 1 486 813 1 486 814 1 486 817 1 486 824 1 486 825 1 486 853 1 486 893 1 486 894 1 486 925 1 486 984 1 486 1016 1 486 1030 1 486 1045 1 486 1051 1 486 1084 1 486 1195 1 486 1201 1 486 1235 1 486 1255 1 486 1277 1 486 1280 1 486 1281 1 486 1285 2 486 1287 1 486 1294 1 486 1327 1 486 1414 1 486 1419 1 486 1427 1 486 1427 1 486 .I 487 .T An Indirect Method of Information Retrieval .A Goffman, William .W The information retrieval process, treated strictly as a matching procedure, has the defects that tha whole file must be probed for each query, and that it overlooks the fact that the relevance of the information from one document depends upon what is already known about the subject, and in term affects the relevance of other documents subsequently examined.. A mathematical model of a search technique in which the defects of the direct method are taken into account is demonstrated by an experiment in which a given paper is treated as an enquiry and the references cited in the paper are treated as relevant answers.. The results in two tests show much better results than those achieved by the direct method..

Sparck Jackson, D. M. .W This report summarizes the work carried out on the automatic construction of keyword classifications and their use in information retrieval that we have carried out in the last eighteen months.. It discusses the possible characteristics of such classifications, and potential ways of using them; and described the various approaches to classification we have considered, in terms of an overall frame of reference in which several types of classification are distinguished.. The results of experiments using a collection of documents and test requests obtained from the Aslib Clanfield project are presented, from which it can be conclude that automatic classifications which lead to noticeable improvements in retrieval performance over those obtainable with unclassified terms can be set up.. .X 38 1 488 51 1 488 69 1 488 71 3 488 77 2 488 79 2 488 84 1 488 168 2 488 175 3 488 176 3 488 315 1 488 317 1 488 320 1 488 382 2 488 389 1 488 390 1 488 448 2 488 458 1 488 479 1 488 480 1 488 483 1 488 484 1 488 485 1 488 486 1 488 488 8 488 489 2 488 490 1 488 491 2 488 492 1 488 493 3 488 494 1 488 495 1 488 496 1 488 497 1 488 498 1 488 499 2 488 500 1 488 503 1 488 507 1 488 509 2 488 510 1 488 512 1 488 517 1 488 520 1 488 522 1 488 527 1 488 528 1 488 531 1 488 565 3 488 566 1 488 570 3 488 581 3 488 583 1 488 584 1 488 586 1 488 596 2 488 603 1 488 608 1 488 633 1 488 659 4 488 715 1 488 754 1 488 790 2 488 795 1 488 801 1 488 805 1 488 809 1 488 810 1 488 812 1 488 813 1 488 814 1 488 817 1 488 824 1 488 825 1 488 894 1 488 986 1 488 1051 1 488 1255 1 488 1294 4 488 1327 1 488 1419 1 488 1427 1 488 1443 1 488 1443 1 488 .I 489 .T Experiments in Book Indexing by Computer .A Borko, Harold .W The most challenging task in preparing an index to a book is to select all and only those terms that are related to the text and are useful for relevance purposes.. While a knowledgeable human can make the selection on an intuitive basis, automatic indexing requires a precise operational criterion for defining and selecting good and useful index terms.. Two principles of selection are proposed:specification and selection of useful terms, and specification and exclusion of useless terms.. Because of the nebulous nature and meaning of "good index terms", and the difficulties involved in devising machine algorithms for their selection, this research in automatic indexing is based on the principle of excluding useless terms.. Even so,fully automatic indexing was not achieved in this study.. Single words proved to be little value as index terms.. Multiple word terms were generated by the computer, but no algorithm could successfully eliminate the useless phrases.. Final selection had to be made by the experimenter.. A comprehensive and useful book index was achieved by using machine-aided rather than fully automated indexing techniques.. .X 38 1 489 77 1 489 79 1 489 84 1 489 159 1 489 168 1 489 174 1 489 175 1 489 257 1 489 317 1 489 320 1 489 324 1 489 332 1 489 396 1 489 429 1 489 446 2 489 488 2 489 489 7 489 490 1 489 491 1 489 492 1 489 493 4 489 494 1 489 495 1 489 496 1 489 497 1 489 498 2 489 499 4 489 500 2 489 501 1 489 517 1 489 527 1 489 570 1 489 581 2 489 582 1 489 583 2 489 584 1 489 586 1 489 653 1 489 655 1 489 659 2 489 688 1 489 785 1 489 790 1 489 795 1 489 796 1 489 797 1 489 798 1 489 801 2 489 802 1 489 986 1 489 1131 1 489 1294 2 489 1327 1 489 1405 1 489 1443 1 489 1443 1 489 .I 490 .T Computer Use in Information and Data Handling: an Appraisal of Its Economic Aspects .A Dammers, H. F. .W The economic merits of applying computers in information storage, retrieval and dissemination have usually been considered with respect only to the cost of operating the information services concerned.. This had tended to indicate that computer use is economically justified mainly for housekeeping operations in the large scale organizations.. The present paper takes a wider view and included in its appraisal the costs involved in information gathering and dissemination for the total system representing the information services and its users.. It is suggested that the inclusion of cost elements associated with user time devoted to information gathering tends to shift the economic appraisal in favor of computer application in information work.. In fact, such computer use appears to find its main stimulus and economic justification in an environment that provides strong incentives to minimize the total cost of the system whilst maximizing its benefits to the users.. To illustrate this some example are given based on experience gained in research data handling and the operation of SDI services in an industrial research establishment.. .X 18 1 490 27 1 490 34 1 490 38 1 490 49 1 490 53 1 490 59 1 490 74 2 490 83 2 490 84 1 490 158 1 490 164 2 490 202 1 490 213 1 490 224 1 490 243 1 490 245 1 490 273 1 490 279 1 490 288 1 490 331 1 490 381 2 490 408 1 490 421 1 490 465 1 490 466 1 490 467 1 490 481 1 490 488 1 490 489 1 490 490 9 490 491 7 490 492 4 490 493 1 490 494 1 490 495 3 490 496 4 490 497 3 490 498 1 490 499 1 490 500 1 490 506 2 490 507 1 490 510 1 490 512 2 490 581 2 490 583 1 490 584 2 490 586 1 490 591 3 490 592 1 490 595 1 490 603 1 490 604 1 490 609 1 490 622 1 490 623 1 490 629 1 490 633 1 490 639 1 490 659 2 490 676 1 490 689 1 490 711 1 490 722 1 490 723 3 490 724 1 490 726 1 490 727 1 490 728 1 490 730 1 490 731 1 490 732 1 490 795 1 490 801 1 490 809 1 490 810 1 490 813 2 490 814 2 490 820 1 490 822 1 490 828 1 490 834 1 490 860 1 490 870 1 490 879 1 490 925 1 490 957 1 490 976 1 490 986 1 490 1035 1 490 1072 1 490 1091 1 490 1148 1 490 1227 1 490 1283 1 490 1294 2 490 1298 1 490 1299 1 490 1317 1 490 1353 1 490 1359 1 490 1360 1 490 1363 1 490 1366 1 490 1367 1 490 1368 1 490 1396 1 490 1400 1 490 1410 1 490 1424 1 490 1424 1 490 .I 491 .T The Unilever Research SDI System .A Rowlands, D.G. .W The Research SDI System has now been in operation for one year using the ISI Source Tapes as a data base..

Since the user is the only person competent to make the final judgement of relevance it is natural to suppose that the selection of items from a data base will lead to two kinds of retrieval error. The extent of these errors is expressed by the familiar measures of performance, precision and recall. Precision measures the failure of the system to retrieve only relevant documents while recall measures its failure to retrieve all relevant documents actually present in the data base. It is difficult to visualize a situation in which a user would find advantage in being provided with irrelevant citations. From the user's point of view, therefore, a system which offers less than 100 per cent precision is a deficient system. .X 27 1 492 38 1 492 74 1 492 83 1 492 84 1 492 124 1 492 127 1 492 129 1 492 158 1 492 190 1 492 191 1 492 197 1 492 211 1 492 214 1 492 218 2 492 243 2 492 253 1 492 307 1 492 330 1 492 375 1 492 378 1 492 408 1 492 450 1 492 451 1 492 452 1 492 459 1 492 468 1 492 481 1 492 484 1 492 488 1 492 489 1 492 490 4 492 491 4 492 492 6 492 493 1 492 494 1 492 495 2 492 496 3 492 497 4 492 498 1 492 499 1 492 500 1 492 506 1 492 507 1 492 508 2 492 510 1 492 511 1 492 512 1 492 514 1 492 518 1 492 520 1 492 523 1 492 524 1 492 525 1 492 526 1 492 529 1 492 530 1 492 534 1 492 546 1 492 548 1 492 553 1 492 579 1 492 581 2 492 583 1 492 584 2 492 586 1 492 591 1 492 594 2 492 601 1 492 603 1 492 604 2 492 606 1 492 607 1 492 609 1 492 610 1 492 611 1 492 612 1 492 625 1 492 626 1 492 630 1 492 636 1 492 637 1 492 642 1 492 648 1 492 650 1 492 659 1 492 692 1 492 696 1 492 699 1 492 703 1 492 705 1 492 708 1 492 726 1 492 727 1 492 728 1 492 731 1 492 732 1 492 733 1 492 734 1 492 736 1 492 738 1 492 739 1 492 740 1 492 741 1 492 742 1 492 743 1 492 744 1 492 755 1 492 795 1 492 801 1 492 820 1 492 826 1 492 827 1 492 866 1 492 867 1 492 879 1 492 883 1 492 986 1 492 1004 1 492 1035 2 492 1042 1 492 1078 1 492 1087 1 492 1089 1 492 1091 1 492 1207 1 492 1264 1 492 1294 2 492 1297 1 492 1303 1 492 1327 1 492 1356 1 492 1364 1 492 1368 1 492 1370 1 492 1372 1 492 1373 1 492 1374 1 492 1375 1 492 1376 1 492 1377 1 492 1377 1 492 .I 493 .T Experimental Use of a Program for Computer-Aided Subject-Index Production .A Armitage, J.E.

S. Thiel, L. H. .W Computer searches on Chemical Titles tapes for current awareness at the University of Alberta since May, 1968, have provided sufficient data to allow formulation of a cost function based on the number of titles searched, the length of questions, the extent to which questions may be batched, and certain details regarding the allowed forms of question.. With different choice of parameters the cost function could be adapted to apply to searches of other data bases.. An attempt to make retrospective searching economically feasible has led to formulation of different search techniques.. It is suggested that the search procedure should be designed to minimize computation time at the expense of convenience in the form of output, but that facilities should be included so that the user who is willing to play the additional cost may receive output in a more convenient form.. In recognition of the fact that the form of search question should be dependent on the vocabulary of the data base, a program has been developed to modify a question so that it is optimal for searches on the given data base.. .X 18 1 495 19 1 495 27 1 495 38 1 495 65 1 495 74 1 495 75 1 495 76 1 495 83 1 495 84 1 495 125 1 495 145 1 495 156 1 495 158 1 495 211 1 495 213 1 495 214 1 495 228 2 495 318 1 495 321 1 495 324 1 495 329 3 495 378 1 495 382 1 495 416 2 495 440 1 495 442 3 495 450 2 495 452 1 495 453 1 495 467 1 495 468 1 495 488 1 495 489 1 495 490 3 495 491 3 495 492 2 495 493 1 495 494 1 495 495 11 495 496 2 495 497 2 495 499 1 495 500 1 495 506 1 495 508 1 495 511 6 495 512 2 495 514 1 495 517 1 495 520 1 495 521 1 495 523 1 495 524 3 495 526 1 495 528 1 495 563 2 495 565 1 495 567 1 495 576 1 495 580 1 495 581 1 495 583 1 495 584 2 495 586 1 495 591 1 495 604 1 495 609 1 495 612 1 495 619 1 495 622 1 495 623 1 495 629 1 495 631 1 495 632 1 495 633 1 495 659 1 495 689 1 495 699 1 495 700 1 495 705 1 495 707 1 495 723 1 495 726 1 495 727 2 495 728 1 495 729 1 495 730 1 495 731 1 495 754 1 495 779 1 495 790 1 495 795 1 495 801 1 495 812 1 495 813 1 495 814 1 495 820 1 495 822 1 495 835 2 495 851 2 495 862 2 495 866 1 495 870 1 495 873 1 495 875 2 495 986 1 495 1053 1 495 1055 1 495 1072 1 495 1078 1 495 1083 1 495 1086 1 495 1089 1 495 1091 1 495 1143 1 495 1194 2 495 1199 2 495 1264 1 495 1294 1 495 1295 1 495 1297 1 495 1302 1 495 1303 1 495 1366 1 495 1367 1 495 1368 1 495 1396 2 495 1398 1 495 1398 1 495 .I 496 .T The Cost and Costing of Information Storage and Retrieval .A Sessions, V.S. .W This presentation on economic aspects of information retrieval is based on data gathered by Project URBANDOC during the course of four years in developing documentation services for the literature of urban planning and renewal. It was a substantial effort - half a million dollars is no small sum in the social sciences - made possible by an Urban Renewal Demonstration Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to The City University of New York. The proposal that initiated the Project in 1965 grew out of the extensive dissatisfaction with bibliographic services in planning librarianship at a time when both planners and librarians were looking to data processing to solve a variety of information problems. URBANDOC was to apply the techniques of scientific documentation to a body of literature which had been neglected by the information science community before the advent of computerization, and completely by-passed by it afterwards. .X 27 1 496 38 1 496 74 2 496 83 2 496 84 1 496 158 1 496 166 1 496 245 1 496 273 1 496 279 1 496 288 1 496 331 1 496 381 1 496 408 1 496 488 1 496 489 1 496 490 4 496 491 4 496 492 3 496 493 1 496 494 1 496 495 2 496 496 7 496 497 3 496 498 1 496 499 1 496 500 1 496 581 2 496 582 1 496 583 1 496 584 2 496 586 1 496 591 2 496 592 1 496 657 1 496 659 1 496 690 1 496 723 1 496 724 1 496 795 1 496 801 1 496 815 1 496 834 1 496 860 1 496 925 1 496 957 1 496 976 1 496 986 1 496 1012 1 496 1035 1 496 1148 1 496 1227 1 496 1293 1 496 1294 2 496 1295 1 496 1296 1 496 1317 1 496 1353 1 496 1359 1 496 1360 1 496 1400 1 496 1410 1 496 1424 1 496 1424 1 496 .I 497 .T Some Cost Estimates for Bibliographical Searching in a Large-Scale Social Sciences Information System .A Thompson, G.K. .W Many of the large-scale mechanized information systems in operation today grew up because of the need of the military and para-military establishments to have rapid access to large quantities of scientific and technological information. This paper will deal with two complementary efforts in the field of social sciences, where an awareness of the information problem is acute, and the global needs staggering. The target audiences for these two systems are on the one hand social science researchers and on the other policy planners and makers in the broad field of economic and social development. An operational system (in the International Labour Office) will be described, and an array of figures representing actual or theoretical operating costs will be given. As could be expected, however, these figures relate only to costs of systems development, input preparation, file maintenance and retrieval. No attempt can be made to evaluate in other than general terms the economic impact that the existence of such a system may have. It can be readily demonstrated, however, that computer-assisted information systems may make sense within individual institutional environments, and make greater sense when on-line systems linking various collaborating institutions can result in enabling each to operate more efficiently and at lower cost. The existence of such on-line networks would make the greatest sense for users because of the possibility of having access at a reasonable price to large information stores. .X 27 1 497 38 1 497 74 1 497 83 1 497 84 1 497 158 1 497 172 1 497 218 1 497 243 1 497 253 1 497 375 1 497 408 1 497 482 1 497 488 1 497 489 1 497 490 3 497 491 3 497 492 4 497 493 1 497 494 1 497 495 2 497 496 3 497 497 5 497 498 1 497 499 1 497 500 1 497 506 1 497 507 1 497 508 1 497 510 1 497 548 1 497 581 2 497 583 1 497 584 2 497 586 1 497 591 1 497 594 1 497 601 1 497 604 1 497 607 1 497 659 1 497 795 1 497 801 1 497 866 1 497 867 1 497 986 1 497 1035 1 497 1042 1 497 1087 1 497 1207 1 497 1294 2 497 1327 1 497 1327 1 497 .I 498 .T Mechanized Searching of Acts of Parliament .A Niblett, G.B.F.

Nine chapters, each from a different technical book, were used as a text corpus for all the experiments.. In the first experiment, an attempt was made to construct a sentence dictionary of syntactic sentence types, for distinguishing extract-worthy sentences, but it proved unrewarding.. Nevertheless, the results indicated that sentence typing might be used in a screening process in conjunction with other extracting techniques.. The later attempts to combine synactic and statistical criteria in the choice of extract sentences and index phrases proved more rewarding.. The sentences selected by the extracting algorithm were representative and are presented for the reader to peruse.. The noun phrases selected by the indexing algorithm compared favorably with the back-of-the-book index phrases.. There is every indication that satisfactory back-of-the-book indexes could be produced automatically, with post-editing to delete superfluous items.. .X 26 1 499 35 1 499 38 1 499 77 1 499 79 1 499 84 1 499 168 1 499 174 1 499 175 1 499 176 1 499 315 2 499 317 1 499 320 1 499 324 1 499 332 1 499 396 1 499 420 3 499 446 3 499 488 2 499 489 4 499 490 1 499 491 1 499 492 1 499 493 3 499 494 1 499 495 1 499 496 1 499 497 1 499 498 1 499 499 9 499 500 3 499 517 2 499 522 1 499 527 2 499 570 1 499 571 2 499 576 1 499 581 3 499 583 1 499 584 1 499 586 1 499 657 1 499 659 2 499 664 1 499 666 3 499 790 1 499 795 1 499 801 1 499 830 1 499 986 1 499 1294 2 499 1327 1 499 1443 2 499 1443 2 499 .I 500 .T Cost-Effectiveness as a Guide in Developing Indexing Rules .A Schultz, Claire K. .W To date, the many decisions among alternatives that are required in the course of developmental efforts to improve indexing have, with few exceptions, been guided primarily by criteria related to effectiveness, as measured by some objective method, or as judged subjectively.. Although effectiveness-type criteria may be adequate for work intended solely to advance the state-of-the-art, when the goal is to develop indexing techniques appropriate for operating services, it seems highly desirable to employ some criterion that takes cost as well as effectiveness into consideration.. The central problem of operating services can be reduced to either that of producing the best indexing possible at a given cost, or that of producing indexing of a given level of effectiveness at least cost.. In our current effort to develop rules for human, machine, and man-machine indexing, we employ a cost-effectiveness type of criterion in making the critical developmental decision.. The general approach is described and illustrated with examples of how measures of cost and of effectiveness were considered jointly in decision making, primarily for how to reduce cost of indexing at a given level of effectiveness.. Problems of defining cost are also discussed, such as how to divide indexing into discrete steps, the effects of long-term vs. short-term activity in humans and small-batch vs. large-batch considerations for machines.. .X 38 1 500 84 1 500 158 1 500 174 1 500 175 1 500 176 1 500 332 1 500 446 2 500 488 1 500 489 2 500 490 1 500 491 1 500 492 1 500 493 2 500 494 1 500 495 1 500 496 1 500 497 1 500 499 3 500 500 5 500 517 2 500 522 1 500 527 2 500 576 1 500 581 1 500 583 1 500 584 1 500 586 1 500 659 1 500 795 1 500 801 1 500 830 1 500 986 1 500 1294 1 500 1317 1 500 1327 1 500 1400 1 500 1400 1 500 .I 501 .T Compilation of Thesauri for Use in Computer Systems .A Rolling, L.N. .W A thesaurus can be defined as a structured vocabulary for use in information storage and retrieval systems.

These procedures operate on large document collections with reasonably short computation times.. Thus far, in our experiments on the physics literature, automatic classification has proven to be as good as or better than manual indexing and, in addition, potentially less expensive.. Empirically derived, our method is based upon a pattern discovery algorithm which use only the citation content of a document and with operates on the bibliographic links among papers.. The self-generated groups correspond to very specific subject headings; retrospective bibliographies generated in the procedures allow one to classify the subsequent literature with remarkably high recall and relevance ratios, close to 100%.. .X 39 6 503 47 1 503 48 1 503 50 1 503 51 1 503 69 1 503 71 1 503 77 1 503 79 1 503 102 1 503 113 1 503 114 1 503 161 1 503 168 1 503 175 5 503 176 1 503 197 1 503 315 1 503 326 1 503 375 1 503 382 1 503 420 1 503 445 1 503 446 1 503 448 1 503 454 1 503 458 1 503 472 1 503 473 1 503 480 1 503 483 1 503 484 1 503 485 3 503 486 1 503 488 1 503 491 1 503 493 1 503 503 12 503 506 1 503 507 2 503 509 1 503 510 1 503 512 1 503 513 1 503 517 2 503 520 1 503 522 1 503 527 1 503 528 1 503 531 1 503 554 1 503 565 1 503 566 1 503 572 1 503 576 3 503 579 1 503 581 1 503 589 2 503 591 1 503 593 1 503 594 1 503 595 1 503 596 2 503 597 1 503 599 1 503 600 1 503 603 2 503 604 1 503 606 1 503 608 1 503 616 1 503 632 1 503 633 1 503 657 2 503 659 1 503 662 1 503 666 1 503 715 1 503 723 1 503 724 1 503 754 1 503 773 1 503 790 1 503 801 1 503 805 3 503 806 1 503 809 1 503 810 1 503 812 1 503 813 1 503 814 1 503 817 1 503 824 1 503 825 1 503 836 1 503 866 1 503 867 1 503 894 1 503 956 1 503 958 1 503 989 1 503 1051 1 503 1144 1 503 1207 1 503 1210 1 503 1274 1 503 1277 1 503 1283 1 503 1285 1 503 1294 1 503 1298 1 503 1299 1 503 1300 1 503 1308 1 503 1313 2 503 1327 3 503 1386 1 503 1405 2 503 1419 1 503 1426 1 503 1427 1 503 1427 1 503 .I 504 .T Columbia University School of Library Service System for Thesaurus Development and Maintenance .A Hines, T.

All sciences and technologies are subject to questioning, scrutiny and evaluation both inside and outside of their subject areas.. Scrutiny of a field may be attempted by a scrutiny of its important literature items.. With 5 years and five volumes ARIST invites and affords a perspective.. This review is attempting in broad brushstrokes to be a critical examination of the underlying structure, and literature base as well as the achievements of the ARIST effort as a whole.. .X 19 1 505 37 1 505 39 1 505 40 1 505 47 1 505 88 1 505 97 1 505 102 1 505 103 1 505 162 1 505 228 1 505 233 1 505 253 1 505 313 1 505 359 3 505 377 1 505 379 1 505 395 1 505 459 1 505 505 6 505 515 1 505 560 1 505 573 2 505 594 1 505 598 1 505 599 1 505 616 1 505 618 1 505 632 1 505 635 1 505 667 1 505 748 3 505 749 1 505 751 2 505 759 1 505 764 1 505 765 2 505 777 1 505 778 3 505 782 1 505 791 1 505 803 1 505 804 1 505 805 1 505 885 1 505 893 1 505 952 1 505 972 1 505 1016 2 505 1061 1 505 1082 1 505 1083 2 505 1085 2 505 1086 2 505 1087 1 505 1090 1 505 1182 3 505 1200 1 505 1201 1 505 1274 1 505 1277 1 505 1278 1 505 1280 1 505 1287 1 505 1301 1 505 1302 1 505 1304 1 505 1313 1 505 1338 1 505 1344 1 505 1347 1 505 1380 1 505 1428 1 505 1444 1 505 1444 1 505 .I 506 .T A Technique for the Evaluation of a Commercial Information Service and Some Preliminary Results from the Drugdoc Service of the Excerpta Medica Foundation .A Scott, E. J. Townley, H. M. Stern, B. T. .W The selectivity, timeliness and quality of indexing of a commercial service may be assessed by comparing the journal articles chosen by an organization as relevant to its interests, with those subsequently reported by the service.. These aspects were evaluated with respect to Drugdoc which scans over 3400 biomedical journals.. The results showed that the selection criteria laid down by Drugdoc are strictly adhered to; the mean time of alerting of an article was 11-3 weeks after receipt of the journal at Wellcome and all articles from a particular journal issue were reported by Drugdoc on average within 13-6 weeks.. Indexing was examined in detail and on average 8-1 primary thesaurus-controlled indexing terms were assigned per article.. Pilot studies were also run on SDI profiles compiled from the Drugdoc Thesaurus.. .X 18 2 506 34 1 506 49 1 506 53 1 506 59 1 506 120 1 506 125 1 506 145 1 506 161 1 506 164 2 506 197 2 506 202 1 506 211 1 506 213 2 506 218 1 506 224 1 506 243 2 506 253 1 506 375 2 506 378 1 506 381 1 506 382 2 506 408 1 506 421 1 506 440 1 506 445 1 506 452 1 506 453 1 506 454 1 506 465 1 506 466 1 506 467 2 506 468 1 506 472 1 506 490 2 506 491 3 506 492 1 506 495 1 506 497 1 506 503 1 506 506 8 506 507 3 506 508 2 506 510 2 506 511 1 506 512 2 506 514 1 506 517 1 506 520 1 506 521 1 506 523 1 506 524 1 506 526 1 506 528 1 506 548 1 506 554 1 506 576 1 506 579 1 506 580 1 506 591 2 506 593 1 506 594 2 506 595 2 506 596 1 506 597 1 506 599 1 506 600 1 506 601 1 506 603 2 506 604 4 506 606 1 506 607 1 506 609 2 506 612 1 506 619 1 506 622 2 506 623 3 506 629 2 506 631 1 506 632 1 506 633 2 506 634 1 506 639 1 506 659 1 506 676 2 506 696 3 506 699 1 506 700 1 506 705 3 506 707 1 506 711 1 506 722 1 506 723 3 506 724 1 506 726 2 506 727 1 506 728 2 506 729 2 506 730 2 506 731 2 506 732 1 506 736 1 506 754 1 506 795 1 506 801 1 506 805 1 506 806 1 506 809 1 506 810 1 506 812 1 506 813 3 506 814 3 506 820 2 506 822 2 506 826 1 506 828 1 506 836 1 506 866 3 506 867 2 506 870 2 506 873 1 506 879 1 506 956 1 506 986 1 506 989 1 506 1042 1 506 1078 1 506 1087 1 506 1089 1 506 1091 2 506 1143 1 506 1264 1 506 1283 1 506 1298 2 506 1299 2 506 1302 1 506 1303 1 506 1327 2 506 1363 1 506 1366 2 506 1367 2 506 1368 2 506 1396 2 506 1405 1 506 1405 1 506 .I 507 .T A Multidisciplinary and Computerized SDI Service for Industry and Research-Practical Experience and Costs .A Hisinger, B. .W In this paper the experiences, costs, price policy, market, sales promotion and foreign cooperation of a Danish documentation department are described in relation to two databases, as follows: The COMPENDEX tapes are scanned in Denmark, whereas the INSPEC tapes are scanned in Holland with the inclusion of Danish profiles according to a bilateral agreement.. The total costs in connection with COMPENDEX are evaluated and divided into four main components: Disbursement to the supplier of the tape system, working expenses of the documentation center, costs of the electronic data processing, and expenses connected with the procurement of the original material to the subscribers.. They can choose between including or deleting the COMPENDEX abstracts during sequential text scanning and printing-out.. Search profiles are formed by the terms (word, author, journal code) connected by AND/OR/NOT-logic and weight factors.. (The above documentation department belongs to the National Technological Library of Denmark and also two SDI services based on tape systems from CAS.. Retrospective searches have been carried out).. .X 18 1 507 34 1 507 49 1 507 51 1 507 53 1 507 59 1 507 69 1 507 71 1 507 77 1 507 79 1 507 161 1 507 164 2 507 168 1 507 172 1 507 175 1 507 176 1 507 178 1 507 197 1 507 202 1 507 213 1 507 218 1 507 224 1 507 243 2 507 253 1 507 315 1 507 374 1 507 375 2 507 382 1 507 408 1 507 419 1 507 421 1 507 445 1 507 448 1 507 454 1 507 465 1 507 466 1 507 472 1 507 480 1 507 481 1 507 483 1 507 484 1 507 486 1 507 488 1 507 490 1 507 491 3 507 492 1 507 493 1 507 497 1 507 503 2 507 506 3 507 507 5 507 508 1 507 509 1 507 510 3 507 512 2 507 517 1 507 520 2 507 522 1 507 523 1 507 527 1 507 528 1 507 531 1 507 548 1 507 554 1 507 565 1 507 566 1 507 579 1 507 581 1 507 591 2 507 593 1 507 594 2 507 595 2 507 596 2 507 597 1 507 599 1 507 600 1 507 601 1 507 603 3 507 604 3 507 606 1 507 607 1 507 608 1 507 622 1 507 623 2 507 629 1 507 633 2 507 639 1 507 659 2 507 676 1 507 711 1 507 715 1 507 722 1 507 723 2 507 724 1 507 726 1 507 728 1 507 730 1 507 731 1 507 732 1 507 754 1 507 790 1 507 801 1 507 805 2 507 806 1 507 809 2 507 810 2 507 812 1 507 813 2 507 814 2 507 817 1 507 820 1 507 822 2 507 824 1 507 825 1 507 828 1 507 836 1 507 866 2 507 867 2 507 870 1 507 879 1 507 894 1 507 907 1 507 956 1 507 989 1 507 1042 1 507 1051 1 507 1087 1 507 1091 1 507 1283 1 507 1294 1 507 1298 2 507 1299 2 507 1327 3 507 1363 1 507 1366 1 507 1367 1 507 1368 1 507 1396 1 507 1405 1 507 1419 1 507 1427 1 507 1427 1 507 .I 508 .T Interactive Reference Retrieval in Large Files .A Carville, M. Higgins, L. D. Smith, Francis J. .W We express the conviction that on-line reference retrieval will largely replace the present tape driven system in a few years.. We describe the design criteria of such an on-line system based on our experience of a pilot system which has been operational for 2 years, emphasizing the importance of minimizing the number of disk accesses.. We recommend the use of hash coding for searching in a thesaurus and point out that the user of an on-line system should use the most precise terms first and the common terms last - the opposite of the procedure in a manual search.. .X 18 1 508 124 1 508 125 1 508 127 1 508 129 1 508 145 1 508 190 1 508 191 1 508 197 1 508 211 2 508 214 1 508 218 2 508 243 2 508 253 1 508 307 1 508 330 1 508 332 1 508 375 1 508 378 2 508 408 1 508 440 1 508 450 1 508 451 1 508 452 2 508 453 1 508 459 1 508 467 1 508 468 3 508 484 2 508 492 2 508 495 1 508 497 1 508 506 2 508 507 1 508 508 6 508 510 1 508 511 2 508 512 2 508 514 2 508 517 1 508 518 1 508 520 2 508 521 1 508 523 4 508 524 2 508 525 1 508 526 3 508 528 2 508 529 1 508 530 1 508 534 2 508 546 2 508 547 1 508 548 1 508 553 1 508 576 1 508 579 2 508 580 1 508 594 3 508 601 1 508 603 1 508 604 3 508 606 2 508 607 1 508 609 2 508 610 1 508 611 1 508 612 2 508 619 1 508 622 1 508 623 1 508 625 1 508 626 2 508 629 1 508 630 1 508 631 1 508 632 1 508 633 1 508 636 1 508 637 2 508 642 1 508 648 1 508 650 1 508 692 1 508 696 1 508 699 2 508 700 1 508 703 1 508 705 2 508 707 1 508 708 1 508 723 1 508 726 2 508 727 2 508 728 2 508 729 1 508 730 1 508 731 2 508 732 1 508 733 1 508 734 1 508 736 1 508 738 1 508 739 1 508 740 1 508 741 1 508 742 1 508 743 1 508 744 1 508 754 1 508 755 1 508 812 1 508 813 1 508 814 1 508 820 2 508 822 1 508 826 2 508 827 1 508 830 1 508 866 2 508 867 1 508 870 1 508 873 1 508 879 1 508 883 1 508 1004 1 508 1035 1 508 1042 1 508 1078 2 508 1087 1 508 1089 2 508 1091 2 508 1143 1 508 1207 1 508 1264 3 508 1297 1 508 1302 1 508 1303 2 508 1327 1 508 1356 2 508 1364 1 508 1366 1 508 1367 1 508 1368 2 508 1370 1 508 1372 2 508 1373 1 508 1374 2 508 1375 1 508 1376 1 508 1377 1 508 1396 1 508 1427 1 508 1427 1 508 .I 509 .T The Use of Hierarchic Clustering in Information Retrieval .A Jardine, N.

H. Heaps, H. S. .W Retrospective search of large document data bases requires development of special techniques for automatic compression of data and minimization of the number of input-output operations to the computer accessible files.. Also, the computer program should be designed to require a relatively small amount of internal memory.. The present paper contains a description of the structure of a program that meets the above requirements.. The vocabulary of the data base is automatically expressed in terms of 8, 16 and 24 bit codes chosen to point to the natural spelling in a dictionary.. Thus file size is reduced without the necessity for extensive processing for decoding.. Use of a compressed bit string inverted index greatly reduces search time, and a storage management system enables long strings to be processed with use of a limited amount of internal storage.. Creation of "reduced" files and tables is an important feature of a program; it allows the files needed only by specific phases of the program to be designed to use a relatively small amount of internal storage and input-output time.. .X 18 1 511 19 1 511 44 1 511 57 1 511 124 2 511 125 2 511 127 1 511 129 1 511 145 1 511 165 1 511 190 1 511 191 1 511 197 1 511 211 2 511 214 1 511 218 1 511 228 3 511 243 1 511 307 1 511 316 1 511 318 2 511 321 2 511 324 2 511 329 6 511 330 1 511 359 1 511 378 2 511 381 1 511 416 5 511 440 1 511 442 6 511 448 1 511 450 6 511 451 1 511 452 3 511 453 1 511 459 1 511 467 1 511 468 2 511 484 2 511 492 1 511 495 6 511 506 1 511 508 2 511 511 13 511 512 2 511 514 2 511 516 1 511 517 1 511 518 2 511 520 2 511 521 3 511 522 1 511 523 3 511 524 5 511 525 1 511 526 3 511 527 1 511 528 2 511 529 2 511 530 1 511 534 1 511 546 1 511 553 1 511 563 1 511 565 3 511 567 3 511 575 1 511 576 1 511 579 1 511 580 1 511 594 1 511 603 1 511 604 2 511 606 1 511 609 2 511 610 2 511 611 1 511 612 2 511 615 1 511 619 1 511 622 1 511 623 1 511 625 2 511 626 2 511 629 1 511 630 1 511 631 1 511 632 1 511 633 1 511 636 2 511 637 1 511 642 1 511 648 1 511 650 1 511 692 1 511 696 1 511 699 2 511 700 3 511 703 1 511 705 3 511 707 2 511 708 1 511 723 1 511 726 2 511 727 3 511 728 2 511 729 1 511 730 1 511 731 2 511 732 1 511 733 1 511 734 1 511 736 1 511 738 1 511 739 1 511 740 1 511 741 1 511 742 1 511 743 1 511 744 1 511 754 2 511 755 1 511 791 2 511 812 2 511 813 1 511 814 1 511 817 1 511 820 2 511 822 1 511 824 1 511 826 1 511 827 1 511 835 2 511 851 2 511 856 1 511 862 2 511 866 1 511 867 1 511 870 1 511 872 1 511 873 1 511 875 4 511 879 1 511 883 1 511 894 1 511 1004 1 511 1035 1 511 1078 2 511 1089 2 511 1091 2 511 1143 1 511 1194 3 511 1196 1 511 1199 3 511 1207 1 511 1264 2 511 1297 1 511 1302 1 511 1303 3 511 1327 1 511 1356 1 511 1362 1 511 1364 2 511 1366 2 511 1367 2 511 1368 3 511 1370 1 511 1372 1 511 1373 1 511 1374 1 511 1375 1 511 1376 1 511 1377 1 511 1396 2 511 1398 1 511 1398 1 511 .I 512 .T Experiences of IIT Research Institute in Operating a Computerized Retrieval System for Searching a Variety of Data Bases .A Williams, Martha E. .W The Computer Search Center (CSC) at IIT Research Institute (IITRI) provides information from computer-readable data bases to users in industry, government and universities.. The center was designed to meet user needs by providing a variety of services from multiple data bases with minimal restrictions and a high degree of flexibility.. A new modular machine-independent PL/1 software system was developed for handling virtually any bibliographic-type base.. CSC have run at nine different computer facilities with different: hardware, computer models, versions of OS, peripherals of the PL/1 compiler.. All data bases are converted by preprocessors to a standard IITRI format which employs a directory and character string type of the structure.. User oriented profile features include: full free form Boolean logic with any degree of nesting; search terms may be any data element on a data base; search terms may be single words, multi-word terms, phrases, or term fragments; full truncation capabilities; optional sort of author, citation number, or weight; and optional printing of output on 5x8 cards, multilith masters, paper, or tape.. User aids were developed for each data base to assist in profile and monitoring.. They include: search manuals, truncation guides, term frequency list and KLIC indexes.. Research is conducted and statistics maintained to study, monitor, and improve Center components including data bases, user satisfaction, systems, personnel functions and services.. The many advantages of computerized retrieval, which are the raison d'etre for the center, include: coverage, thoroughness, consistency, interdisciplinariness, recall, speed, regularity, file preparation and cost effectiveness.. .X 18 2 512 34 1 512 49 1 512 51 1 512 53 1 512 59 1 512 69 1 512 71 1 512 77 1 512 79 1 512 124 1 512 125 1 512 127 1 512 129 1 512 145 1 512 164 2 512 168 1 512 175 1 512 176 1 512 190 1 512 191 1 512 197 1 512 202 1 512 211 2 512 213 1 512 214 1 512 218 1 512 224 1 512 243 2 512 307 1 512 315 1 512 330 1 512 378 2 512 382 1 512 421 1 512 440 1 512 448 1 512 450 1 512 451 1 512 452 2 512 453 1 512 459 1 512 465 1 512 466 1 512 467 1 512 468 2 512 480 1 512 483 1 512 484 2 512 486 1 512 488 1 512 490 2 512 491 3 512 492 1 512 493 1 512 495 2 512 503 1 512 506 2 512 507 2 512 508 2 512 509 1 512 510 2 512 511 2 512 512 7 512 514 2 512 517 2 512 518 1 512 520 3 512 521 1 512 522 1 512 523 2 512 524 2 512 525 1 512 526 2 512 527 1 512 528 2 512 529 1 512 530 1 512 531 1 512 534 1 512 546 1 512 553 1 512 565 1 512 566 1 512 576 1 512 579 1 512 580 1 512 581 1 512 591 2 512 594 1 512 595 1 512 596 1 512 603 3 512 604 3 512 606 1 512 608 1 512 609 2 512 610 1 512 611 1 512 612 2 512 619 1 512 622 2 512 623 2 512 625 1 512 626 1 512 629 2 512 630 1 512 631 1 512 632 1 512 633 3 512 636 1 512 637 1 512 639 1 512 642 1 512 648 1 512 650 1 512 659 2 512 676 1 512 687 1 512 689 1 512 692 1 512 696 1 512 699 2 512 700 1 512 703 1 512 705 2 512 707 1 512 708 1 512 711 1 512 714 1 512 715 1 512 722 1 512 723 2 512 726 3 512 727 3 512 728 3 512 729 1 512 730 2 512 731 3 512 732 2 512 733 1 512 734 1 512 736 1 512 738 1 512 739 1 512 740 1 512 741 1 512 742 1 512 743 1 512 744 1 512 754 2 512 755 1 512 790 1 512 805 1 512 809 3 512 810 2 512 812 2 512 813 3 512 814 3 512 817 1 512 820 3 512 822 2 512 824 1 512 825 1 512 826 1 512 827 1 512 828 1 512 866 1 512 870 2 512 873 1 512 879 2 512 883 1 512 894 1 512 1004 1 512 1035 1 512 1051 1 512 1072 1 512 1078 2 512 1089 3 512 1091 3 512 1143 1 512 1207 1 512 1264 2 512 1283 1 512 1294 1 512 1297 1 512 1298 1 512 1299 1 512 1302 1 512 1303 2 512 1327 1 512 1356 1 512 1363 1 512 1364 1 512 1366 2 512 1367 2 512 1368 3 512 1370 1 512 1372 1 512 1373 1 512 1374 1 512 1375 1 512 1376 1 512 1377 1 512 1396 2 512 1419 1 512 1427 1 512 1427 1 512 .I 513 .T Communication and Information Processing within Scientific Disciplines: Empirical Findings for Psychology .A Garvey, William D.

W. Rapport, Rochard L. Penry, J. Fiffin .W An evaluation of an on-line retrieval system known as EARS (Epilepsy Abstracts Retrieval System) has been performed.. The system, which permits the free text searching of approximately 8000 abstracts drawn from Epilepsy Abstracts, is supported by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (NINDS).. Specialists in the field of neurology, at six medical centers in the United States, conducted on-line searches to satisfy their own needs for information..

H. Hill, T. W. Jr. .W The problem of selecting which journals to acquire in order to best satisfy library objectives is modeled as a zero-one linear programming problem and examined in detail.. The model incorporates an objective function based on expected usage as a measure of journal worth and cost constraints which account for the scarcity of capital.. The model can be used to aid the librarian in making better selection decisions, since the objective function can be shown to reflect the evaluation of the library as an information retrieval system and as a service organization.. Moreover, the model of seen to be related to inventory problems and scheduling models in industrial operations.. Journal usage is discussed as a measure of journal worth and is contrasted to journal productivity.. Constraints are considered for scarce resources other than capital and for journal interrelationships.. .X 9 1 515 207 1 515 222 2 515 223 1 515 267 1 515 296 1 515 297 1 515 298 1 515 300 1 515 301 1 515 302 1 515 358 1 515 359 1 515 364 1 515 439 1 515 494 3 515 505 1 515 515 7 515 535 1 515 573 1 515 587 1 515 616 1 515 618 1 515 625 1 515 629 1 515 631 1 515 634 1 515 635 1 515 654 1 515 748 1 515 751 1 515 759 1 515 765 1 515 778 1 515 787 1 515 791 1 515 792 3 515 811 1 515 816 1 515 818 1 515 823 2 515 840 3 515 843 1 515 844 1 515 846 1 515 915 1 515 925 3 515 948 1 515 961 1 515 962 1 515 964 1 515 994 1 515 1015 1 515 1016 1 515 1083 1 515 1085 1 515 1090 1 515 1182 1 515 1184 1 515 1219 1 515 1242 1 515 1247 1 515 1268 1 515 1324 1 515 1354 1 515 1365 2 515 1400 1 515 1401 1 515 1416 1 515 1417 1 515 1417 1 515 .I 516 .T Problems in Information Retrieval: Logical Jumps in the Expression of Information .A Farradane, J. Russel, J. M. Yates-Mercer, P. A. .W In a structured data base, such as that obtained when information is indexed in a format including explicit relations, retrieval of all relevant items in response to a question may, in some cases, be restricted by technicalities of the structure.. Condensations in the form of logical jumps, or the omission of a concept with one relation out of a string of three concepts with two interstitial relations, have been investigated by two different methods, in order to overcome one of these technicalities.. Thirty-two rules are proposed which could permit the automatic condensation of either of both the stored information and the question, when the concepts and relations are in the form of linear or string display.. Nine rules are proposed for condensation of angular structures.. Other type of logical jump and abbreviation are discussed, together with related studies of expansions and inference steps.. .X 124 1 516 125 1 516 160 3 516 165 1 516 175 1 516 257 1 516 258 1 516 263 1 516 381 1 516 388 1 516 448 1 516 452 1 516 477 1 516 478 3 516 484 1 516 511 1 516 516 8 516 518 1 516 521 1 516 522 1 516 523 1 516 526 1 516 527 2 516 528 1 516 529 1 516 572 1 516 575 1 516 610 1 516 615 1 516 625 1 516 626 1 516 636 1 516 666 1 516 700 1 516 705 1 516 707 1 516 727 1 516 754 1 516 758 2 516 785 1 516 812 1 516 817 1 516 824 1 516 875 1 516 1066 1 516 1231 1 516 1259 1 516 1303 1 516 1327 1 516 1364 1 516 1366 1 516 1367 1 516 1368 1 516 1391 1 516 1414 2 516 1428 1 516 1448 2 516 1448 2 516 .I 517 .T Machine_Aided Indexing of Technical Literature .A Klingbiel, Paul H. .W To index successfully in the Defense Documentation Center's environment, an automated system must chose single words or phrases (dependent upon context) rapidly and economically.. The automation of DDC's indexing has been machine-aided from its inception.. A machine-aided indexing (MAI) system is described that indexes one million words of text per hour of CPU time.. Grammatical errors do not exceed five per cent of the output, so human screening is satisfactorily low.. The system could potentially scale up to an operational size of 10 million words of text per year - the equivalent of a dozen bibles or a third of the Encyclopedia Britannica.. In a batch mode, the programs to accomplish this indexing would require no more than fifteen minutes of CPU time per week.. .X 18 1 517 51 1 517 69 1 517 71 1 517 77 1 517 79 1 517 125 1 517 145 1 517 168 1 517 174 1 517 175 3 517 176 2 517 211 1 517 315 1 517 332 1 517 378 1 517 382 1 517 440 1 517 446 2 517 448 1 517 452 1 517 453 1 517 467 1 517 468 1 517 480 1 517 483 1 517 484 1 517 486 1 517 488 1 517 489 1 517 491 1 517 493 2 517 495 1 517 499 2 517 500 2 517 503 2 517 506 1 517 507 1 517 508 1 517 509 1 517 510 1 517 511 1 517 512 2 517 514 1 517 517 7 517 520 2 517 521 1 517 522 2 517 523 1 517 524 1 517 526 1 517 527 3 517 528 2 517 531 1 517 565 1 517 566 1 517 576 3 517 580 1 517 581 1 517 589 1 517 596 1 517 603 1 517 604 1 517 608 1 517 609 1 517 612 1 517 619 1 517 622 1 517 623 1 517 629 1 517 631 1 517 632 1 517 633 2 517 657 1 517 659 1 517 699 1 517 700 1 517 705 1 517 707 1 517 715 1 517 723 1 517 726 1 517 727 1 517 728 1 517 729 1 517 730 1 517 731 1 517 754 2 517 790 1 517 805 1 517 809 1 517 810 1 517 812 2 517 813 2 517 814 2 517 817 1 517 820 1 517 822 1 517 824 1 517 825 1 517 830 1 517 866 1 517 870 1 517 873 1 517 894 1 517 1051 1 517 1078 1 517 1089 1 517 1091 1 517 1143 1 517 1264 1 517 1294 1 517 1302 1 517 1303 1 517 1327 2 517 1366 1 517 1367 1 517 1368 1 517 1396 1 517 1419 1 517 1427 1 517 1427 1 517 .I 518 .T A Bayesian Approach to Interactive Retrieval .A Tague, Jean M. .W This paper presents a probabilistic model for interactive retrieval..

H. .W A general measure of retrieval effectiveness having full metric properties and treating the "retrieval system - arbiter of relevance"situation symmetrically, is the Marczewski-Steinhaus metric, D, measuring the distance between the set of relevant documents, A, and set of retrieved documents, B, according to D = 1 -(n (A ^ B)/n(A u B)).. D can be expressed as a function of Presicion and Recall, or of Generality, Fallout and Recall, and of other sets of traditional measures.. Acceptance of the measure allows criteria for retrieval optimality and degeneracy to be stated, defined by minimum and constant values of D respectively.. Precision_Recall degeneracy curves for D are given and compared with those for another general measure: the probability that a document will be correctly identified by a retrieval system..

The question is raised whether the costs and efforts presently devoted to research regarding retrospective searches on large free-text databases are justified in view of the low average precision ratios generally observed for free text databases and the very high number of references of potential interest retrieved.. .X 18 1 520 38 1 520 51 1 520 69 1 520 71 1 520 77 1 520 79 1 520 86 1 520 124 1 520 125 1 520 127 1 520 129 1 520 145 1 520 164 1 520 168 1 520 172 1 520 175 2 520 176 1 520 178 1 520 190 1 520 191 1 520 197 1 520 211 2 520 214 1 520 218 1 520 243 1 520 307 1 520 315 1 520 330 1 520 374 1 520 378 2 520 382 2 520 389 1 520 390 1 520 419 1 520 440 1 520 448 1 520 450 1 520 451 1 520 452 2 520 453 1 520 459 1 520 467 1 520 468 2 520 480 1 520 481 1 520 483 1 520 484 2 520 486 1 520 488 1 520 491 2 520 492 1 520 493 1 520 495 1 520 503 1 520 506 1 520 507 2 520 508 2 520 509 1 520 510 2 520 511 2 520 512 3 520 514 4 520 517 2 520 518 1 520 520 7 520 521 1 520 522 1 520 523 3 520 524 2 520 525 1 520 526 2 520 527 1 520 528 2 520 529 1 520 530 1 520 531 1 520 534 1 520 546 1 520 553 1 520 565 1 520 566 1 520 570 1 520 576 2 520 579 1 520 580 1 520 581 1 520 582 1 520 586 1 520 594 1 520 596 1 520 603 3 520 604 2 520 606 1 520 608 2 520 609 2 520 610 1 520 611 1 520 612 3 520 619 1 520 622 1 520 623 2 520 625 1 520 626 1 520 629 1 520 630 1 520 631 1 520 632 1 520 633 2 520 636 2 520 637 1 520 642 1 520 643 1 520 648 1 520 650 1 520 659 2 520 692 1 520 696 1 520 699 2 520 700 1 520 703 1 520 705 2 520 707 1 520 708 1 520 715 1 520 723 1 520 726 3 520 727 2 520 728 2 520 729 1 520 730 1 520 731 2 520 732 1 520 733 1 520 734 1 520 736 1 520 738 1 520 739 1 520 740 1 520 741 1 520 742 1 520 743 1 520 744 1 520 754 2 520 755 2 520 790 1 520 805 1 520 809 1 520 810 1 520 812 2 520 813 3 520 814 2 520 817 1 520 820 4 520 822 3 520 824 1 520 825 1 520 826 1 520 827 2 520 866 1 520 870 1 520 873 1 520 879 1 520 883 1 520 894 2 520 907 1 520 1004 1 520 1035 1 520 1051 1 520 1078 2 520 1089 2 520 1091 3 520 1143 1 520 1207 1 520 1264 2 520 1294 1 520 1297 1 520 1302 1 520 1303 2 520 1313 1 520 1327 2 520 1356 1 520 1364 1 520 1366 1 520 1367 1 520 1368 2 520 1370 2 520 1372 1 520 1373 1 520 1374 1 520 1375 1 520 1376 1 520 1377 1 520 1396 1 520 1419 2 520 1427 1 520 1448 1 520 1448 1 520 .I 521 .T Compression of Bibliographic Files Using an Adaptation of Run-Length Coding .A Lynch, Michael F. .W Substantial degrees of compression of bibliographical data bases result from the application to them a modified form of run-length coding.. The method involves attenuation of the zero:one bit ratio of the data base.. This can be achieved by substitution of codes with the highest zero:one ratios the most frequent symbols, or by substitution of 2-bytes codes for diagrams.. A form of run-length coding in which the run-length is represented as a fixed-length binary number is then applied.. .X 18 1 521 19 1 521 44 1 521 57 1 521 124 1 521 125 2 521 145 1 521 165 1 521 211 1 521 228 1 521 229 1 521 321 1 521 329 2 521 378 1 521 381 1 521 416 1 521 440 1 521 448 1 521 450 1 521 452 2 521 453 1 521 467 1 521 468 1 521 484 1 521 495 1 521 506 1 521 508 1 521 511 3 521 512 1 521 514 1 521 516 1 521 517 1 521 518 1 521 520 1 521 521 5 521 522 1 521 523 2 521 524 1 521 526 2 521 527 1 521 528 2 521 529 1 521 565 1 521 567 1 521 575 1 521 576 1 521 580 1 521 604 1 521 609 1 521 610 1 521 612 1 521 615 1 521 619 1 521 622 1 521 623 1 521 625 1 521 626 1 521 629 1 521 631 1 521 632 1 521 633 1 521 636 1 521 699 1 521 700 3 521 705 2 521 707 2 521 723 1 521 726 1 521 727 2 521 728 1 521 729 1 521 730 1 521 731 1 521 754 2 521 791 1 521 812 2 521 813 1 521 814 1 521 817 1 521 820 1 521 822 1 521 824 1 521 866 1 521 870 1 521 873 1 521 875 2 521 894 1 521 1078 1 521 1089 1 521 1091 1 521 1143 1 521 1199 1 521 1264 1 521 1302 1 521 1303 2 521 1327 1 521 1364 1 521 1366 2 521 1367 2 521 1368 2 521 1396 1 521 1396 1 521 .I 522 .T Automatic Indexing and Generation of Classification Systems by Algorithm .A Hoyle, W. G. .W A system of automatic indexing based on Baye's theorem is described briefly.. In assigning 124 documents to 9 categories, there were 97 cases of agreement with professional indexers.. Using a collection factor, based on 87 per cent human consistency from other courses, the computer appears then to index with 90 per cent accuracy in this case.. The technique is then used with two randomized sample document groups drawn from nine categories.. Each group in turn is used as the basis for indexing the other.. The computer knows only the number of categories.. After 8 cycles the computer is found to have formed 9 groups consisting of about 50 per cent of documents that were also lumped together by professional indexers on the basis of subject content.. A new measure of performance is proposed and some other applications of the technique indicated.. .X 51 1 522 69 1 522 71 1 522 77 1 522 79 1 522 124 1 522 125 1 522 141 1 522 165 1 522 168 1 522 175 2 522 176 2 522 299 1 522 315 1 522 333 1 522 381 1 522 382 1 522 446 1 522 448 2 522 452 1 522 480 1 522 483 1 522 484 2 522 486 1 522 488 1 522 491 1 522 493 1 522 499 1 522 500 1 522 503 1 522 507 1 522 509 1 522 510 1 522 511 1 522 512 1 522 516 1 522 517 2 522 518 1 522 520 1 522 521 1 522 522 5 522 523 1 522 526 1 522 527 3 522 528 2 522 529 1 522 530 1 522 531 1 522 565 1 522 566 1 522 575 1 522 576 1 522 581 1 522 596 1 522 603 1 522 608 1 522 610 1 522 615 1 522 625 1 522 626 1 522 627 1 522 628 1 522 633 1 522 636 1 522 659 1 522 700 1 522 705 1 522 707 1 522 715 1 522 727 1 522 754 2 522 790 1 522 805 1 522 809 1 522 810 1 522 812 2 522 813 1 522 814 1 522 817 2 522 824 2 522 825 1 522 830 1 522 873 1 522 874 1 522 875 2 522 876 1 522 892 1 522 894 1 522 941 1 522 994 1 522 995 1 522 996 1 522 997 1 522 998 1 522 1051 1 522 1079 1 522 1153 1 522 1189 1 522 1251 1 522 1294 1 522 1303 1 522 1327 2 522 1351 1 522 1364 1 522 1366 1 522 1367 1 522 1368 1 522 1396 1 522 1419 1 522 1420 1 522 1427 1 522 1434 1 522 1435 1 522 1442 1 522 1442 1 522 .I 523 .T The Cost_Performance of an On-Line, Free-Text Bibliographic Retrieval System .A Katzer, Jeffrey .W The cost-performance evaluation of the SUPARS system is reported.. SUPARS was an on-line, free-text bibliographic retrieval system; cost-effectiveness data of such systems are not readily available.. In our evaluation, two measures of cost were employed: a computer processing charge expressed in dollars, and the number of documents retrieved (a measure of work that must be expended to review the retrieved items).. The measure of performance was an estimate of the recall ratio.. To obtain the requisite measures an experimental plan was developed in which experts searched the data base of Psychological Abstracts forming their queries from written statements of information needs.. These statements (along with the list of documents relevant to them) were produced by people with information problems.. Tallies were kept of the number of documents retrieved before each of the designed relevant items were found.. The major findings are noted below.. (1) Queries to the system employing simple Boolean operators (AND, OR) have better cost-performance characteristics than queries using more elegant searching operators.. (2) On-demand access to the index or dictionary contributes sizeably to improving the cost-performance of the system.. (3) The argument is raised that human factors, such as the differences among users of a system, probably should be a major factor in the design, operation and evaluation of retrieval systems..

If he delegates his literature search he should always be aware of the problems necessarily emanating from his subjective view.. This prevents him from imposing unsatisfiable demands on the delegated search, particularly with respect to its expected performance, and makes him conscious of the fact that in order to satisfy his entire information need he cannot dispense with the browsing serendipity of his personal literature search.. He will also better understand the peculiarities of the documentary methods needed for operating large and continuously growing systems as compared with the methods sufficient for his personal file.. The information scientist on the other hand, in charge of establishing, operating, and evaluating retrieval systems of high performance and survival power, should take into consideration the pronouncedly subjective character of fundamental notions such as "information" and "order".. This gives him a better understanding of the kind of inquiries submitted to him and of the inherently, even if latently, subjective character of several fundamental operations in storage and retrieval and will cause him to refrain from futile attempts to make such operations more "objective" and formal.. Such a better mutual understanding will be bound to promote advance in methodology and psychology of scientific communication.. .X 18 1 525 117 1 525 124 1 525 126 1 525 127 2 525 129 1 525 145 1 525 165 2 525 190 1 525 191 1 525 197 1 525 211 1 525 214 1 525 218 1 525 243 1 525 307 1 525 330 1 525 357 1 525 376 1 525 378 1 525 445 1 525 449 1 525 450 1 525 451 1 525 452 1 525 459 2 525 468 1 525 476 1 525 484 1 525 492 1 525 508 1 525 511 1 525 512 1 525 514 1 525 518 1 525 520 1 525 523 1 525 524 2 525 525 5 525 526 2 525 527 1 525 529 2 525 530 2 525 533 1 525 534 2 525 546 1 525 553 1 525 574 1 525 579 1 525 590 1 525 594 1 525 603 1 525 604 1 525 606 1 525 609 1 525 610 1 525 611 1 525 612 1 525 616 1 525 621 2 525 625 1 525 626 1 525 630 1 525 633 1 525 635 1 525 636 2 525 637 2 525 640 1 525 641 1 525 642 2 525 648 1 525 650 1 525 668 1 525 670 1 525 671 1 525 674 1 525 683 1 525 689 1 525 692 1 525 696 1 525 699 1 525 702 1 525 703 2 525 705 1 525 708 1 525 715 1 525 726 1 525 727 1 525 728 1 525 730 1 525 731 1 525 732 2 525 733 2 525 734 2 525 736 2 525 738 1 525 739 1 525 740 1 525 741 1 525 742 1 525 743 1 525 744 1 525 755 1 525 797 1 525 819 1 525 820 1 525 823 1 525 826 2 525 827 2 525 877 1 525 879 2 525 883 1 525 1004 1 525 1035 1 525 1077 2 525 1078 1 525 1089 1 525 1091 1 525 1207 1 525 1231 2 525 1264 1 525 1297 1 525 1303 1 525 1305 1 525 1306 1 525 1313 1 525 1356 1 525 1364 1 525 1368 1 525 1370 2 525 1372 2 525 1373 1 525 1374 1 525 1375 1 525 1376 1 525 1377 1 525 1383 1 525 1396 1 525 1396 1 525 .I 526 .T On-Line Information retrieval as a Scientists Tool .A Barber, Stephanie A.

With the availability of many computer-readable bibliographic data bases, experience with users dictated the development of special-purpose information products based on a thorough understanding of individual client needs, and the delivery of such products in a customized form.. Each different application required a different package, with variations of both software and data base coverage.. These packages were developed via suitable modification of modular system software to result in products tailored to user idiosyncracies.. The paper describes problems associated with these repackaging procedures, and discusses the changes brought about by the introduction of an on-line, interactive retrieval service into the operating environment of users.. Implications for networking and resource-sharing, focusing upon cost-effectiveness and performance measures, are also discussed.. .X 18 1 528 51 1 528 69 1 528 71 1 528 77 1 528 79 1 528 119 1 528 122 1 528 124 1 528 125 2 528 145 1 528 165 1 528 168 1 528 175 1 528 176 1 528 211 1 528 300 1 528 315 1 528 332 1 528 365 1 528 378 1 528 381 1 528 382 1 528 394 1 528 439 1 528 440 1 528 448 2 528 452 2 528 453 2 528 467 1 528 468 1 528 480 1 528 483 1 528 484 3 528 486 1 528 488 1 528 491 1 528 493 1 528 495 1 528 503 1 528 506 1 528 507 1 528 508 2 528 509 1 528 510 1 528 511 2 528 512 2 528 514 1 528 516 1 528 517 2 528 518 1 528 520 2 528 521 2 528 522 2 528 523 3 528 524 1 528 526 4 528 527 2 528 528 8 528 529 1 528 531 1 528 534 1 528 546 1 528 565 1 528 566 1 528 575 1 528 576 1 528 579 1 528 580 1 528 581 1 528 594 1 528 596 1 528 603 1 528 604 1 528 606 1 528 608 1 528 609 1 528 610 1 528 612 2 528 614 1 528 615 1 528 619 1 528 622 1 528 623 1 528 624 1 528 625 1 528 626 2 528 629 1 528 631 1 528 632 1 528 633 2 528 636 1 528 637 1 528 659 1 528 699 1 528 700 2 528 705 2 528 707 2 528 715 1 528 723 1 528 726 1 528 727 2 528 728 1 528 729 1 528 730 1 528 731 1 528 754 3 528 790 1 528 805 1 528 809 1 528 810 1 528 812 3 528 813 2 528 814 2 528 817 2 528 818 1 528 820 1 528 822 1 528 824 2 528 825 1 528 826 1 528 830 1 528 866 1 528 870 1 528 872 1 528 873 1 528 875 1 528 894 1 528 940 1 528 1051 1 528 1078 1 528 1089 1 528 1091 1 528 1143 2 528 1247 1 528 1264 2 528 1294 1 528 1302 1 528 1303 2 528 1327 2 528 1364 1 528 1366 2 528 1367 3 528 1368 2 528 1374 1 528 1396 1 528 1419 1 528 1427 2 528 1435 1 528 1436 1 528 1436 1 528 .I 529 .T A Remote-Terminal Retrospective Search Facility Using a Hybrid of Microform and Computer Storage .A Irvine, J.

A. .W A proposal for a computer-aided method of building up an indexing language is made.. The method involves linking the terms relevant to any special retrieval system into the UDC, preferably in the form of the Standard Reference Code when it becomes available.. Links between the terms are intended to be established in such a way that, provided indexing input sessions are accomplished via a video terminal, a hybrid thesaurus-classification could be built up by a form of "learning process" in the course of regular indexing.. The proposed means of establishing links between terms are described, the associated computer system is outlined, and an example of indexing language built-up procedure is presented.. Possible uses for natural language search, using the thesaurus-classification as a "switching language", and for automatic classification, are suggested as long-term aims.. .X 18 1 530 124 1 530 127 2 530 129 1 530 141 1 530 145 1 530 165 1 530 190 1 530 191 1 530 197 1 530 211 1 530 214 1 530 218 1 530 243 1 530 299 1 530 307 1 530 330 1 530 333 2 530 357 1 530 376 1 530 378 1 530 449 1 530 450 1 530 451 1 530 452 1 530 459 2 530 468 1 530 484 1 530 492 1 530 508 1 530 511 1 530 512 1 530 514 1 530 518 1 530 520 1 530 522 1 530 523 1 530 524 2 530 525 2 530 526 1 530 527 1 530 529 2 530 530 6 530 534 2 530 546 1 530 553 2 530 579 1 530 594 1 530 603 1 530 604 1 530 606 1 530 609 1 530 610 1 530 611 1 530 612 1 530 621 1 530 625 1 530 626 1 530 627 1 530 628 2 530 630 1 530 633 1 530 635 1 530 636 2 530 637 2 530 641 1 530 642 2 530 648 1 530 650 1 530 692 1 530 696 1 530 699 1 530 702 1 530 703 2 530 705 1 530 708 1 530 726 1 530 727 1 530 728 1 530 730 1 530 731 1 530 732 2 530 733 2 530 734 2 530 736 2 530 738 1 530 739 1 530 740 1 530 741 1 530 742 1 530 743 1 530 744 1 530 755 1 530 802 1 530 819 1 530 820 1 530 824 1 530 825 1 530 826 2 530 827 2 530 873 1 530 874 2 530 875 1 530 876 1 530 877 2 530 878 1 530 879 2 530 880 1 530 883 1 530 892 1 530 898 1 530 940 1 530 941 2 530 992 1 530 993 1 530 994 1 530 995 2 530 996 1 530 997 1 530 998 1 530 1004 1 530 1035 1 530 1061 1 530 1078 1 530 1079 2 530 1089 1 530 1091 1 530 1146 1 530 1153 1 530 1189 1 530 1207 1 530 1215 1 530 1216 1 530 1231 1 530 1251 1 530 1264 1 530 1297 1 530 1303 1 530 1351 1 530 1356 1 530 1364 1 530 1368 1 530 1370 2 530 1372 2 530 1373 1 530 1374 1 530 1375 1 530 1376 1 530 1377 1 530 1383 1 530 1396 2 530 1420 1 530 1421 1 530 1434 2 530 1435 2 530 1436 1 530 1441 1 530 1442 1 530 1442 1 530 .I 531 .T Index Term Weighting .A Jones, Karen Sparck .W Various approaches to index term weighting have been investigated..

Tomita, Kazuo Woolf, Patricia .W In this article we examine the concept of the "information user", and attempt to describe some of the dynamics of the situation by discussing some of our data relative to "intraindividual variations" (changes which occur within individual scientists as their scientific work progresses) and "interindividual variations" (physical vs social scientists, basic vs applied scientists, experienced vs inexperienced scientists, and scientists' working in the same subject-matter area vs scientists who recently changed their areas).. All of these were found to produce significant variation in the information needs of scientists and in the sources they used to satisfy these needs.. Some implications of these findings relative to information technology are discussed.. .X 48 2 533 98 2 533 124 1 533 126 1 533 439 1 533 440 2 533 449 1 533 456 2 533 514 1 533 525 1 533 526 1 533 532 1 533 533 5 533 574 1 533 594 1 533 604 1 533 611 1 533 616 1 533 640 1 533 728 1 533 733 1 533 823 1 533 1303 1 533 1305 1 533 1306 1 533 1313 1 533 1319 1 533 1338 1 533 1338 1 533 .I 534 .T Project Intrex: A General Review .A Overhage, Carl F.

It is assumed that the reader has some understanding of freshman calculus and elementary probability, and in the later chapters some introductory random process theory. Unfortunately there is one more requirement that is harder to meet. The reader must have a reasonable level of mathematical maturity and capability for abstract thought. The major results of the theory are quite subtle and abstract and must sometimes be arrived at by what appears to be rather devious routes. Fortunately, recent simplifications in the theory have made the major results more accessible than in the past. .X 228 1 536 329 1 536 442 1 536 536 6 536 867 1 536 1244 4 536 1244 4 536 .I 537 .T The Information Sciences .A Kunz, W. .W This book describes the results of a study which the author has carried out during the summer of 1969 in Heidelberg and San Francisco about the development of the information sciences in the Federal Republic of Germany.

I have therefore paid considerable attention to a discussion of the requirements of users of information systems and the measurement of system performance in terms of the efficient and economical satisfaction of these requirements. The book does not concern itself, except indirectly, with equipment for the implementation of retrieval systems, a topic that is adequately covered by other volumes in this series. Moreover, it is my contention that the importance of "hardware" and "data processing" aspects of information systems has been exaggerated in the United States, with some detriment to the performance of many systems. .X 538 6 538 1126 1 538 1139 1 538 1323 1 538 1327 1 538 1411 1 538 1411 1 538 .I 539 .T Information Retrieval Languages .A Moskovich, V.A. .W This book gives classification and detailed description of different types of information retrieval languages.

Sumner .W At the IFLA Liverpool Conference in 1971 a Joint working Group of the Committees on Cataloguing and on Serial Publications was set up to draw up an International Standard Bibliographic Description for Serials, taking the ISBD(M) as a model in so far as practicable. As might be expected, the special problems presented by serial publications made the task of developing an ISBD(S) a difficult assignment which the Joint Working Group tackled with great energy and devotion. The successive drafts were prepared by the Chairman and the Secretary, Mlle M.-L. Bossuat and Mlle M. Pelletier. Probably no data element presented such a severe problem as that of serial title. The seemingly countless Mitteilungen, Memoires, Proceedings, Bulletins, Trudy's, and the like seemed to demand some useful and standardized way to be identified. A solution to this problem was found in the adoption of a device which consisted of marrying the author statement to the generic title proper, with a wedding ring consisting of a space-hyphen- space and dubbing the happy couple the "distinctive title." .X 10 1 541 121 1 541 333 2 541 541 7 541 873 1 541 877 1 541 878 1 541 881 2 541 904 3 541 919 3 541 920 4 541 921 3 541 940 1 541 999 3 541 1000 2 541 1001 3 541 1002 3 541 1003 3 541 1013 1 541 1441 1 541 1441 1 541 .I 542 .T (Towards a Theory of the Concept) .A Dahlberg, I. .W A concept is regarded as the common element of both classification systems and thesauri. Reality and knowledge are not represented by words or terms but by the meanings "behind" these tokens. A concept of, say, an object, a property of an object, a process, etc. is derived from verbal statements on these as subjects and may therefore be defined as the whole of true and possible predicates that can be collected on a given subject. It is from these predicates that the characteristics of the corresponding concepts can be derived. Common characteristics in different concepts lead to relations between concepts, which relations in turn are factors for the formation of concept systems. Different kinds of relationships as well as different kinds of concepts are distinguished. It is pointed out that an orderly supply of the elements for propositions (information statements) on new knowledge requires the construction and availability of such concept systems. .X 259 1 542 476 1 542 477 1 542 542 5 542 758 1 542 1231 1 542 1259 1 542 1391 1 542 1391 1 542 .I 543 .T Impact of Scientific Serials on the Advancement of Medical Knowledge: An Objective Method of Analysis .A Sengupta, I.N. .W A common tool for the selection of serial publications for a research library is the lists of most cited serials.

How are scientific publications utilized by scientists? What is accomplished by the circulation of scientific information on an informal basis? How does the social organization among scientists facilitate or inhibit these processes? Three types of studies have been conducted in this area: (a) studies of the scientific literature itself; (b) studies of how scientists obtain the information which they need for their research; and (c) studies of the relationship between scientists who conduct research in the same areas.. For the most part, studies of formal communication and information gathering have been conducted in the absence of all but the most rudimentary theoretical models, as has been pointed out in at least three recent reviews of these studies (Libbey and Zaltman, 1967, p. 64; Paisley, 1968; Storer, 1968, p. 12).. The lack of theory can be attributed partly to the practical orientation of many of the studies and also to the fact that an adequate model cannot be based on any one of these types of studies alone.. A useful theory must integrate knowledge from all three types.. In this article, we will review these studies and will describe a teoretical model which has been designed to fill this purpose.. .X 33 1 544 89 2 544 95 2 544 98 1 544 100 1 544 101 1 544 102 1 544 105 4 544 107 1 544 109 1 544 110 1 544 113 1 544 155 1 544 157 1 544 312 1 544 314 1 544 356 2 544 386 2 544 398 1 544 544 5 544 560 3 544 582 1 544 605 1 544 656 1 544 667 1 544 685 1 544 750 1 544 775 1 544 800 1 544 1030 1 544 1050 1 544 1062 1 544 1063 2 544 1081 1 544 1082 1 544 1088 1 544 1256 1 544 1284 2 544 1285 2 544 1286 1 544 1287 1 544 1290 1 544 1291 2 544 1293 1 544 1294 1 544 1295 1 544 1296 1 544 1297 1 544 1300 3 544 1308 1 544 1312 2 544 1313 1 544 1319 1 544 1334 1 544 1345 1 544 1346 2 544 1386 3 544 1408 1 544 1408 1 544 .I 545 .T The Literature of the Social Sciences: a Survey of Citation Studies .A Broadus, Robert N. .W The great concern with scientific communication in the last few decades has produced a number of studies analyzing the use of information..

The Workshop, sponsored by the Information Systems committee of the American Federation of Information Processing Societies, brought together a group of information scientists who have been directly involved with this subject area. They were provided in advance with a "Challenge" paper and with a number of papers prepared in response to that challenge. The Workshop sessions themselves were devoted exclusively to focussed discussions of the material and of the problems in and the prospects for more effective systems design of the user interface. The content of these two days of deliberation prompted making the substance of the Workshop experience available to a larger audience. This book is intended to accomplish that goal. .X 61 1 546 66 1 546 124 1 546 127 1 546 129 1 546 145 1 546 168 1 546 190 1 546 191 1 546 197 2 546 211 2 546 214 1 546 218 2 546 243 1 546 274 1 546 307 1 546 317 1 546 320 1 546 330 1 546 332 3 546 343 1 546 348 1 546 378 1 546 382 1 546 417 2 546 443 1 546 450 1 546 451 2 546 452 2 546 458 1 546 459 2 546 460 1 546 468 1 546 484 2 546 492 1 546 508 2 546 511 1 546 512 1 546 514 2 546 518 1 546 520 1 546 523 2 546 524 1 546 525 1 546 526 4 546 528 1 546 529 1 546 530 1 546 534 2 546 546 11 546 553 1 546 572 1 546 579 3 546 593 1 546 594 4 546 603 1 546 604 1 546 606 6 546 608 1 546 609 2 546 610 2 546 611 2 546 612 3 546 625 1 546 626 5 546 630 1 546 636 1 546 637 3 546 641 1 546 642 2 546 648 1 546 650 1 546 692 1 546 696 1 546 699 1 546 703 1 546 705 1 546 708 1 546 726 1 546 727 1 546 728 1 546 731 1 546 732 1 546 733 2 546 734 1 546 736 1 546 738 1 546 739 1 546 740 1 546 741 1 546 742 1 546 743 1 546 744 1 546 754 1 546 755 1 546 814 1 546 820 1 546 826 3 546 827 1 546 830 1 546 879 1 546 883 1 546 902 1 546 1004 1 546 1035 3 546 1046 1 546 1051 1 546 1078 1 546 1089 1 546 1091 1 546 1207 1 546 1264 1 546 1297 1 546 1303 2 546 1327 1 546 1356 1 546 1364 1 546 1368 2 546 1370 1 546 1372 1 546 1373 1 546 1374 2 546 1375 1 546 1376 1 546 1377 2 546 1387 1 546 1399 1 546 1427 1 546 1427 1 546 .I 547 .T AIM-TWX - an Experimental On-Line Bibliographic Retrieval System .A Katter, R.V. McCarn, D.B. .W The Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications of the National Library of Medicine, in conjunction with the NLM Library Operations staff, initiated in June 1970 a new experimental service called AIM-TWX (Abridged Index Medicus-TWX) to provide rapid, responsive searching of the medical literature. This experiment is being conducted to identify the need for and usefulness of such services to help medical practitioners situated in isolated areas, to assist in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education, and to provide information precisely when and where it is needed for health care. A limited group of practitioners, students, and librarians is being given access to the system so that it will not be overloaded and rejected because of busy signals, and so that a variety of user groups can test it. .X 75 1 547 190 1 547 191 1 547 468 1 547 508 1 547 514 1 547 523 2 547 547 6 547 593 1 547 594 2 547 606 1 547 648 1 547 743 1 547 1264 1 547 1303 3 547 1356 1 547 1372 1 547 1372 1 547 .I 548 .T The Computer/Library Interface: the Last Five Years .A Balmforth, C.K. Grose, M.W. Jeffreys, A.E. .W University printing presses exist, and are subsidized by the Government for the purpose of producing books which no one can read; and they are true to their high calling. Books are the sources of material for lectures. They should be kept from the young; for to read books and remember what you read, well enough to reproduce it, is called 'cramming', and this is destructive of all true education. The best way to protect the young from books, is, first, to make them in such a way that no one can find them without several years' training. A lecturer is a sound scholar, who is chosen to teach on the ground that he was once able to learn. Eloquence is not permissible in a lecture; it is a privilege reserved by stature for the Public Orator. .X 114 1 548 169 1 548 218 1 548 235 1 548 243 1 548 253 1 548 289 2 548 291 1 548 345 1 548 375 1 548 400 1 548 408 1 548 459 1 548 492 1 548 493 1 548 497 1 548 506 1 548 507 1 548 508 1 548 510 1 548 548 6 548 594 2 548 597 1 548 598 1 548 601 2 548 604 1 548 607 1 548 627 1 548 836 1 548 863 1 548 864 1 548 865 1 548 866 2 548 867 1 548 868 1 548 897 1 548 916 1 548 936 1 548 990 1 548 1042 1 548 1052 1 548 1073 1 548 1087 1 548 1248 1 548 1327 1 548 1368 1 548 1392 1 548 1414 1 548 1448 1 548 1448 1 548 .I 549 .T The Intergroup Conflict .A Sherif, M. .W In one broad category of theories, the problems are expressed in terms of actualities of events in group relations as they exist in everyday life. On the whole, theories advanced by many social scientists fall in this broad category. In this concern over actualities the problem is frequently not stated and discussion not developed in a way that can be tested rigorously. In the second broad category of theories, problems are stated and analysis carried out in terms of more rigorous-appearing concepts and units of analysis. Theories coming from psychologists and social scientists heavily influenced by them fall within this broad category. In this line of approach, theories are advanced without due regard to actualities, and consequently they are plagued with serious questions of validity. .X 118 1 549 207 1 549 412 1 549 418 1 549 549 5 549 939 1 549 1047 1 549 1332 1 549 1332 1 549 .I 550 .T Interlibrary Loan Involving Academic Libraries .A Thomson, S.K. .W Interlibrary loan transactions involving academic libraries in the United States numbered over 800,000 items in 1963-64. This number is growing exponentially. Large libraries report that they cannot fill about a third of the interlibrary loan requests they receive. Unfilled interlibrary loans are costly to both the borrowing and the lending libraries and reduce the usefulness of the service to the reader. Many of these interlibrary loan failures are preventable, chiefly by publishing policies of the lending libraries to prevent borrowers from requesting noncirculating materials and by determining in advance what library owns the item wanted. .X 14 1 550 153 1 550 170 1 550 223 1 550 266 1 550 271 1 550 550 5 550 1019 1 550 1028 1 550 1086 1 550 1090 1 550 1424 1 550 1424 1 550 .I 551 .T Interlibrary Loan Policies Directory .A Thomson, S.K. .W In 1972-73 approximately 194,000 interlibrary loan requests were not filled because the borrowing library in ignorance requested non-circulating material contrary to the interlibrary lending policies of the lending library. These unfilled requests probably cost the borrowing and lending libraries over $400,000 in wasted manpower, besides disappointing readers who waited in vain for their materials. Much of this waste could be prevented if borrowing libraries check in advance the lending policies before sending requests. The major elements determining whether or not libraries receive requests to borrow from libraries at a distance are whether the library lists unusual materials in union lists, especially THE NATIONAL UNION CATALOG, THE UNION LIST OF SERIALS AND NEW SERIAL TITLES, and whether it has strong collections in a subject field listed in library directories. Volume of out-of-state lending is related to the type of lending library, the size of collection, budget for current acquisitions, number of periodicals received, photocopy charges, population density in neighboring states, proximity to other libraries, and completeness of reporting holdings in the National Union Catalog or other bibliographic centers. .X 6 1 551 10 2 551 167 1 551 232 1 551 363 1 551 403 1 551 461 1 551 551 5 551 886 1 551 887 1 551 942 1 551 947 1 551 1058 1 551 1059 1 551 1060 1 551 1258 1 551 1305 1 551 1306 1 551 1390 1 551 1390 1 551 .I 552 .T Interlibrary Requests .A Ash, L. .W Our survey, in other words, is offered within the bounds of descriptive or deductive statistics which seeks to analyze a group, not attempt to estimate the parameters of that population of which the group has been chosen as a sample. The latter role is assumed by inductive statistics which makes use of probability sampling. Accordingly, our data are presented in those forms and with those statistical measures appropriate to the methods of descriptive statistics: arrays, frequency distributions, breakdowns by categories which seem of optimum value to the librarian and administrator, e.g., the frequency of requests for journals versus monographs, the age of journals requested, the types and ages of materials requested by the various types of libraries (university, pharmaceutical, etc.). The tables are arranged to give evidence of the types of frequency distribution revealed by the Survey, as well as to indicate central tendency, dispersion, rank order, and possibly correlations for significant factors. .X 2 1 552 33 1 552 36 1 552 41 1 552 76 2 552 87 1 552 89 2 552 97 1 552 102 1 552 111 1 552 112 1 552 132 1 552 137 1 552 139 1 552 152 1 552 155 1 552 163 1 552 183 3 552 184 3 552 193 2 552 195 1 552 196 1 552 198 1 552 199 1 552 201 1 552 203 3 552 204 3 552 210 2 552 225 1 552 269 1 552 373 1 552 415 1 552 475 1 552 545 1 552 552 5 552 587 1 552 605 1 552 613 1 552 614 1 552 638 1 552 735 2 552 747 1 552 750 1 552 753 1 552 760 1 552 766 2 552 767 1 552 774 1 552 775 2 552 782 1 552 784 2 552 788 2 552 789 2 552 793 1 552 800 1 552 808 1 552 828 1 552 905 1 552 953 1 552 977 2 552 983 1 552 1016 1 552 1023 1 552 1030 1 552 1055 3 552 1056 1 552 1087 1 552 1090 1 552 1135 1 552 1147 1 552 1260 1 552 1275 1 552 1276 1 552 1278 1 552 1280 1 552 1285 1 552 1286 1 552 1287 1 552 1302 1 552 1335 1 552 1390 1 552 1397 4 552 1417 1 552 1428 1 552 1432 2 552 1451 1 552 1451 1 552 .I 553 .T An Introduction to Computers in Information Science .A Artandi, S. .W This book is an introduction to the field of information science and technology, with particular emphasis on document organization. Its point of view is general in the sense that it attempts to deal with types of problems rather than particular systems. When particular systems are described they are used as examples of systems rather than as models. The method of presentation is expository at the introductory level. While differing points of view are frequently noted, this book is not intended to provide definitive critical evaluation. Relevant research is reviewed in order to indicate current thinking and activities in the field. .X 5 1 553 90 1 553 124 1 553 127 1 553 129 1 553 190 1 553 191 1 553 197 1 553 211 1 553 214 1 553 218 1 553 243 1 553 289 1 553 294 1 553 307 1 553 330 1 553 333 1 553 378 1 553 449 1 553 450 1 553 451 1 553 452 1 553 459 1 553 468 1 553 484 1 553 492 1 553 508 1 553 511 1 553 512 1 553 514 1 553 518 1 553 520 1 553 523 1 553 524 1 553 525 1 553 526 1 553 529 1 553 530 2 553 534 1 553 535 1 553 546 1 553 553 6 553 579 1 553 594 1 553 598 1 553 603 1 553 604 1 553 606 1 553 609 1 553 610 1 553 611 1 553 612 2 553 617 1 553 620 1 553 625 1 553 626 1 553 628 1 553 630 1 553 636 1 553 637 1 553 642 1 553 648 1 553 650 1 553 692 1 553 696 1 553 699 1 553 703 1 553 705 1 553 708 1 553 726 1 553 727 1 553 728 1 553 731 1 553 732 1 553 733 1 553 734 1 553 736 1 553 738 1 553 739 1 553 740 1 553 741 1 553 742 1 553 743 1 553 744 1 553 755 1 553 802 1 553 819 1 553 820 1 553 826 1 553 827 1 553 874 1 553 877 1 553 878 1 553 879 1 553 883 1 553 940 1 553 941 1 553 963 1 553 990 1 553 992 1 553 993 1 553 995 1 553 1004 1 553 1035 1 553 1078 1 553 1079 1 553 1089 1 553 1091 1 553 1207 1 553 1216 1 553 1221 1 553 1229 1 553 1264 1 553 1297 1 553 1303 1 553 1356 1 553 1364 1 553 1368 1 553 1370 1 553 1372 1 553 1373 1 553 1374 1 553 1375 1 553 1376 1 553 1377 1 553 1421 1 553 1434 1 553 1435 1 553 1436 1 553 1436 1 553 .I 554 .T Introduction to Information Science .A Saracevic, T. .W The main emphasis of this book is on work of a theoretical and experimental nature rather than on practical applications. However, the articles selected are viewed as having a considerable potential in two major respects: they have important implications for the practice of information handling, but even more important, they contain aspects of generalization. The book is oriented toward basic and experimental work, such as that performed by traditional sciences, with the hope that a reader may find much relevant to his own interests, educational level and background, a bridge toward generalizations, a feeling of interconnection between seemingly unrelated works either presented in the book or found in the literature, an awareness of apparent gaps in knowledge, and even ideas for practical solutions or further theoretical or experimental work. .X 72 1 554 75 1 554 149 1 554 161 1 554 175 1 554 197 1 554 201 1 554 224 1 554 287 1 554 298 1 554 348 1 554 375 1 554 381 1 554 382 1 554 408 2 554 444 1 554 445 2 554 447 1 554 449 1 554 454 1 554 456 1 554 458 1 554 472 1 554 503 1 554 506 1 554 507 1 554 514 1 554 523 1 554 532 1 554 535 1 554 554 13 554 575 1 554 579 2 554 584 1 554 591 2 554 593 1 554 594 1 554 595 2 554 596 1 554 597 1 554 599 2 554 600 1 554 603 2 554 604 1 554 606 1 554 608 1 554 615 1 554 619 1 554 620 1 554 621 1 554 625 1 554 630 1 554 654 1 554 723 1 554 724 1 554 752 1 554 762 1 554 780 1 554 801 1 554 805 1 554 806 1 554 822 1 554 836 1 554 851 1 554 856 1 554 857 1 554 858 1 554 859 1 554 860 1 554 861 1 554 862 1 554 866 1 554 867 1 554 907 1 554 956 2 554 961 1 554 989 1 554 1012 1 554 1013 1 554 1035 1 554 1086 1 554 1294 1 554 1298 1 554 1299 1 554 1327 2 554 1405 1 554 1445 1 554 1445 1 554 .I 555 .T Introduction to Library Science: Basic Elements of Library Service .A Shera,J.H. .W Librarianship classifies as a social science because the library, as an institution, is a creature of society, and its goal is the improvement of society by helping the individual to understand himself and the world of which he is a part. But the library is also concerned with man as a rational being. Thus, it remains primarily a humanistic enterprise. The traditional lines of demarcation among the disciplines are breaking down and in certain areas becoming almost obliterated; and librarianship, in both its technology and its services, is drawing ever closer to the social and physical sciences. But we would do well to remind ourselves of the library's humanistic origins; otherwise, in excessive enthusiasm for the technology of science and the social action of the behaviorist, we may lose sight of the individual and his needs and the humanistic values implicit in them. .X 555 6 555 555 6 555 .I 556 .T Introduction to Subject Indexing; a Programmed Text .A Brown, A.G. .W This programmed text has been developed from work initially carried out under a research project funded by the Office for Scientific and Technical Information (now the British Library Research and Development Department). The project, designed to investigate the applicability of the techniques of programmed instruction in the teaching of practical subject indexing, was conducted at the School of Librarianship, the Polytechnic of North London in cooperation with the College of Librarianship Wales. The programmed instruction course, written during this project and used by students at both Schools of Librarianship, forms the basis of the programmed text. Most of the existing programmed texts relevant to the field of practical subject indexing are concerned with the translation stage of indexing and aim to impart skills in the use of particular indexing languages. Our intention, in the above-mentioned project, was to produce a course of programmed instruction which presented an integrated view of the basic principles and practices of subject indexing rather than attempting to impart to the student a high degree of familiarity with any particular system. .X 1 1 556 92 1 556 556 5 556 1004 1 556 1024 1 556 1024 1 556 .I 557 .T Introduction to Systems Philosophy .A Laszlo, E. .W The general systems theory, pioneered by von Bertalanffy, Kenneth Boulding, Anatol Rapoport and their collaborators, gives us a theoretical instrument for assuring the mutual relevance of scientific information and philosophic meaning. Extended into a general systems philosophy, this instrument can polarize the contemporary theoretical scene as a magnet polarizes a field of charged particles: by ordering the formerly random segments into a meaningful pattern. If made good use of, this instrument could channel to us a stream of informed as well as sophisticated answers through the cross-fertilization of contemporary science and philosophy. This, then is my credo; the conviction which led to the formulation of the present Introduction to "systems philosophy" over a period of three years of research in alternating states of euphoria and dejection. .X 447 1 557 557 5 557 1067 1 557 1069 1 557 1348 1 557 1386 1 557 1386 1 557 .I 558 .T Introduction to Theoretical Linguistics .A Lyons, J. .W This is a introductory book in the sense that it does not presuppose any previous training in the subject. But it does assume that the reader - especially the reader whose educational background, like my own, is more in the 'humanities' than in mathematics and 'science' - is prepared to make a certain intellectual effort with respect to the use of symbols and formulae. Few subjects suffer more than linguistics from the separation of the 'sciences' and the 'humanities' that is still maintained in the curricula of most of our schools ad universities. For contemporary linguistic theory draws simultaneously, and in roughly equal measure, upon the more traditional approach to language that is characteristic of the 'humanities' and the more 'scientific' approach that has developed recently in connection with advances that have been made in formal logic, computer science and automata theory. .X 69 1 558 72 1 558 149 1 558 160 2 558 168 2 558 175 1 558 258 1 558 317 1 558 320 1 558 324 1 558 388 1 558 477 1 558 479 1 558 558 8 558 566 1 558 572 1 558 600 2 558 628 2 558 653 1 558 746 1 558 761 1 558 781 1 558 795 1 558 901 1 558 1046 2 558 1118 1 558 1202 1 558 1218 1 558 1309 1 558 1394 1 558 1399 2 558 1422 1 558 1443 1 558 1443 1 558 .I 559 .T Introduction to University Library Administration .A Thompson, J. .W The last ten years have witnessed the growth of an intense public interest in university affairs. Almost anything to do with universities is now headline news. Previously such attention as they did receive was limited to brief reports in sober middle class newspapers of appointments, awards and meetings, leavened once a year by an obligatory account in all newspapers of the Boat Race. All this has changed: as Michael Befoff comments in his book The Plateglass Universities (having made the foregoing points and more besides), what were once ivory towers have now become goldfish bowls. He goes on to give the obvious explanation for the change: universities are of public interest because they are now almost wholly supported by the taxpayers' money. They represent a massive investment on the part of the government, and consequently are expected to yield a vitally important return in trained and educated manpower. Over the last twenty years government expenditure in this country on universities has risen from four million pounds a year to more than two hundred million pounds a year. The total university student population is in excess of two hundred thousand, and teaching and research staff number approximately twenty-five thousand. .X 559 6 559 843 1 559 844 1 559 1424 1 559 1424 1 559 .I 560 .T Indivisible Colleges; Diffusion of Knowledge in Scientific Communities .A Crane, D. .W In the last two decades, dramatic increases in the scope and volume of scientific research have occurred, as may be illustrated by the fact that the amount of scientific literature is doubling approximately every ten years (Price 1963). For the scientist who needs to locate particular items of scientific information and for the documentation specialist who must make them readily available, the organization and management of this huge and expanding store of information is a serious problem. Increasingly radical solutions are being proposed. For example, some experts would like to scrap scientific journals and distribute their contents piecemeal. Information retrieval and delivery systems are being developed to enable scientists to locate information quickly and effectively. .X 15 1 560 19 1 560 33 1 560 37 1 560 39 2 560 40 1 560 47 1 560 48 1 560 88 2 560 89 3 560 97 1 560 101 1 560 102 3 560 103 1 560 104 1 560 105 6 560 106 1 560 110 2 560 111 2 560 112 1 560 113 3 560 128 1 560 147 1 560 155 1 560 157 1 560 161 2 560 163 2 560 170 1 560 233 1 560 243 1 560 253 1 560 312 1 560 313 1 560 314 1 560 356 3 560 359 1 560 377 1 560 379 1 560 384 1 560 386 1 560 395 1 560 398 1 560 456 1 560 505 1 560 544 3 560 545 2 560 560 15 560 573 1 560 582 1 560 589 1 560 592 1 560 602 2 560 605 1 560 607 1 560 614 1 560 618 2 560 632 2 560 635 1 560 646 1 560 647 1 560 652 1 560 656 1 560 667 2 560 685 1 560 722 1 560 748 1 560 749 1 560 750 1 560 751 1 560 764 1 560 765 1 560 775 1 560 777 1 560 778 1 560 782 1 560 793 1 560 800 1 560 804 1 560 805 1 560 823 1 560 827 1 560 888 1 560 889 1 560 893 1 560 919 1 560 952 1 560 1003 1 560 1010 1 560 1016 1 560 1030 2 560 1044 1 560 1048 1 560 1050 1 560 1061 1 560 1062 2 560 1063 1 560 1081 1 560 1082 2 560 1085 1 560 1086 1 560 1087 1 560 1088 1 560 1182 1 560 1186 1 560 1188 1 560 1200 1 560 1256 2 560 1270 1 560 1274 1 560 1277 1 560 1278 1 560 1280 1 560 1284 1 560 1285 3 560 1286 1 560 1287 3 560 1290 1 560 1291 4 560 1293 2 560 1294 1 560 1295 1 560 1296 2 560 1297 1 560 1298 1 560 1300 2 560 1301 1 560 1302 1 560 1304 1 560 1308 1 560 1312 1 560 1313 1 560 1315 2 560 1319 1 560 1334 1 560 1338 1 560 1339 1 560 1340 2 560 1344 2 560 1346 4 560 1347 3 560 1380 1 560 1386 2 560 1404 1 560 1408 1 560 1428 1 560 1444 2 560 1445 1 560 1445 1 560 .I 561 .T A Dynamic Programming Approach to R and D Budgeting and Project Selection .A Hess, Sidney W. .W Contemporary models of research and development are incomplete in that they ignore the many reappraisals and budgeting decisions that occur in the time between a project's proposal and its commercialization.. The sequential decision aspects of project budgeting are particularly important since 1) the research expenditure is usually an order of magnitude less than the irrevocable investment for commercialization and 2) an allocation to a project today does not presuppose continuation of the project into future periods.. The research and development budgeting problem is structured to take into account the sequential decision characteristic.. Utilizing the technique of dynamic programming, methods are developed to determine optimal project budgets when the aggregate research and development budget is either constrained or unconstrained.. These models also suggest a rational explanation of the patterns of project expenditures over time that one observes in practice.. Finally, some of the shortcomings of the developed methods which inhibit their practical application are discussed.. .X 349 1 561 423 6 561 424 5 561 425 5 561 426 1 561 427 1 561 428 2 561 436 1 561 437 1 561 561 9 561 1036 1 561 1039 2 561 1040 2 561 1449 1 561 1449 1 561 .I 562 .T The Association Factor in Information Retrieval .A Stiles, H. Edmund .W This paper describes an all computer document retrieval system which can find documents related to a request even though they may not be indexed by the exact terms of the request, and can present these documents in the order of their relevance to the request.. The key to this ability lies in the application of a statistical formula by which the computer calculates the degree of association between pairs of index terms.. With proper manipulation of these associations (entirely within the machine) a vocabulary of synonyms, near synonyms and other words closely related to any given term or group of terms is derived.. Such a vocabulary related to a group of request terms is believed to be a much more powerful tool for selecting documents from a collection than has been available heretofore.. By noting the number of matching terms between this extended list of request terms and the terms used to index a document, and with due regard for their degree of association, documents are selected by the computer and arranged in the order of their relevance to the request.. .X 26 3 562 45 1 562 78 1 562 174 1 562 175 2 562 179 1 562 315 1 562 321 1 562 363 1 562 419 3 562 420 1 562 421 1 562 422 1 562 458 1 562 479 1 562 485 1 562 562 7 562 564 3 562 566 2 562 570 1 562 659 1 562 660 3 562 661 1 562 662 2 562 663 2 562 664 3 562 769 1 562 785 1 562 1044 1 562 1087 1 562 1144 1 562 1154 1 562 1218 2 562 1279 1 562 1327 1 562 1327 1 562 .I 563 .T A Study of Methods for Systematically Abbreviating English Words and Names .A Bourne, Charles P. .A Ford, Donald F. .W This study investigated various techniques for systematically abbreviating English words and names..

Particular was paid to techniques that could process incoming information without prior knowledge of its existence (i.e., no table lookups)..

The documents are then classified into these derived categories by five subjects, and the resulting classification serves as a criterion against which the automatic classification is to be evaluated.. Of the 90 documents in the validation group which contained two or more clue words, and which therefore could be automatically classified, 44 documents, or 48.9 per cent, were placed into their correct categories by use of a computer formula.. These results are almost identical to the results obtained by Maron in a previous experiment using the same data but with a different set of classification categories and a different computational formula.. The experimental evidence support the conclusion that automatic document classification is possible.. Additional experiments are described which when executed should improve the accuracy of the automatic classification technique.. .X 26 2 564 28 1 564 42 1 564 45 2 564 72 1 564 79 1 564 174 2 564 175 1 564 179 1 564 310 1 564 315 1 564 419 2 564 420 1 564 421 1 564 422 2 564 454 1 564 458 1 564 464 1 564 479 2 564 483 1 564 485 2 564 509 1 564 562 3 564 564 7 564 565 1 564 566 2 564 570 1 564 660 2 564 661 3 564 662 4 564 663 4 564 664 2 564 714 1 564 769 2 564 785 1 564 853 1 564 1044 1 564 1117 1 564 1140 1 564 1144 1 564 1154 1 564 1218 1 564 1279 1 564 1327 1 564 1419 1 564 1419 1 564 .I 565 .T Computer Evaluation of Indexing and Text Processing .A Salton, G. .A Lesk, M.

The general problem has been stated as follows. Given a collection of objects and a list of measurements made on each object, is it possible to find and/or predict a property of the objects that is not directly measurable but is known to be related to the measurements via some unknown relationship? The only assumption made is that similarities and dissimilarities among objects are reflected in at least some of the measurements. .X 254 2 568 327 3 568 568 6 568 697 1 568 700 1 568 706 2 568 890 4 568 1092 4 568 1202 1 568 1452 1 568 1452 1 568 .I 569 .T Stereochemically Unique Naming Algorithm .A Wipke, W.

By inspection of the linear names of two structures, one can determine if the two structures are identical, nonisometric, constitutionally isometric, diastereometric, or enantiometric.. The algorithm determines the true stereocenters and calculates a reduced set of chiral centers, Src.. It is proven that if three are any centers in Src that the compound must be chiral; an a chiral compound must have Src = null.. Extensions of the algorithm are outlined to allow uniquely naming conformational isomers.. .X 117 1 569 327 2 569 569 5 569 641 1 569 671 5 569 706 1 569 1026 1 569 1292 1 569 1452 1 569 1452 1 569 .I 570 .T Deriving Term Relations for a Corpus by Graph Theoretical Clusters .A Augustson, J.G. Minker, J. .W We discuss how alternative methods of automatic term clustering may provide insight into how terms are related within a corpus. The work reported uses a corpus of 2267 documents that contain 3950 index terms. A similarity matrix is developed using the document - term matrix. A threshold level T is applied to the similarity matrix. Entries in the matrix that are greater than or equal to the threshold level are set equal to one, and the remaining entries are set to zero. Three definitions are applied to the corresponding graph of each threshold matrix to develop clusters. These are, (1) the connected components of the graph, (2) the maximal complete subgraphs of the graph, and (3) the combined maximal complete subgraphs of the graph as described that show how insight may be gained into the term relations by varying the threshold levels and the cluster definitions. .X 77 1 570 79 1 570 86 1 570 168 1 570 175 3 570 176 1 570 317 1 570 320 1 570 382 2 570 389 1 570 390 1 570 422 1 570 458 1 570 479 1 570 485 1 570 488 3 570 489 1 570 493 1 570 498 1 570 499 1 570 514 1 570 520 1 570 562 1 570 564 1 570 566 1 570 570 5 570 576 1 570 581 1 570 586 1 570 596 1 570 608 1 570 636 1 570 643 1 570 659 2 570 660 1 570 785 1 570 790 1 570 820 1 570 894 1 570 1044 1 570 1154 1 570 1218 1 570 1294 1 570 1313 1 570 1327 1 570 1419 1 570 1443 1 570 1443 1 570 .I 571 .T Automatic Abstracting and Indexing.. II. Production of Indicative Abstracts by Application of Contextual Inference and Syntactic Coherence Criteria .A Rush, J. E. Salvador, R. Zamora, A. .W Together with the increasing shortage of qualified abstracts, the factors of time, cost and value have lent impetus to a trend toward the automatic generation of abstracts and indexes.. This trend has caused increased emphasis to be placed on the abstract as the locus of data for automatic retrieval systems.. This necessitates the creating of high quality abstracts.. It is the purpose of this paper to report on the development of techniques for the automatic production of high quality abstracts from the full text of the original document.. It is necessary to analyze the conditions under which various methods of sentence selection are successful, in order to develop criteria for selecting sentences to form an abstract.. But clearly, an abstract can be produced by rejecting sentences of the original which are irrelevant to the abstract.. As will be seen, it is this point which is perhaps the most significant contribution of this paper.. Methods of sentence selection and rejection are discussed.. These include contextual inference, intersentence reference, frequency criteria, and coherency considerations.. The automatic abstracting system we have developed consists basically of a dictionary, called the Word Control List, and of a set of rules for implementing certain functions specified for each WCL entry.. The abstracts we have obtained so far are of sufficiently good quality to indicate that large-scale testing of the methods of the automatic abstracting system is warranted.. .X 26 1 571 35 3 571 43 1 571 68 1 571 84 1 571 175 1 571 315 1 571 324 1 571 420 3 571 499 2 571 571 6 571 657 2 571 664 1 571 666 2 571 712 1 571 1054 1 571 1281 1 571 1281 1 571 .I 572 .T Linguistics and Information Science .A Montgomery, C.A. .W This paper defines the relationship between linguistics and information science in terms of a common interest in natural language. The notion of automated processing of natural language - i.e., machine simulation of the language processing activities of a human - provides novel possibilities for interaction between linguists, who have a theoretical interest in such activities, and information scientists, who have more practical goals, e.g. simulating the language processing activities of an indexer with a machine. The concept of a natural language information system is introduced as a framework for reviewing automated language processing effort by computational linguists and information scientists. In terms of this framework, the former have concentrated on automating the operations of the component for content analysis and representation, while the latter have emphasized the data management component. The complementary nature of these developments allows the postulation of an integrated approach to automated language processing. This approach, which is outlined in the final sections of the paper, incorporates current notions in linguistic theory and information science, as well as design features of recent computational linguistic models. .X 39 1 572 50 1 572 57 1 572 72 1 572 75 1 572 117 1 572 160 1 572 168 3 572 172 1 572 175 1 572 176 1 572 179 1 572 180 1 572 191 1 572 194 1 572 212 1 572 274 1 572 317 2 572 320 1 572 326 1 572 329 1 572 332 1 572 417 2 572 443 1 572 446 2 572 458 1 572 473 1 572 485 2 572 503 1 572 516 1 572 527 1 572 546 1 572 558 1 572 565 1 572 572 11 572 574 1 572 577 1 572 579 1 572 590 2 572 595 1 572 596 1 572 608 2 572 615 1 572 616 1 572 619 1 572 628 1 572 632 1 572 640 1 572 664 1 572 666 1 572 683 1 572 773 1 572 790 1 572 795 1 572 810 1 572 812 1 572 813 1 572 814 1 572 819 1 572 830 1 572 870 1 572 894 1 572 902 2 572 928 1 572 958 1 572 963 1 572 990 1 572 991 1 572 1033 1 572 1045 1 572 1046 3 572 1047 1 572 1084 1 572 1139 1 572 1202 1 572 1207 1 572 1213 1 572 1218 1 572 1255 1 572 1279 1 572 1283 1 572 1327 1 572 1387 1 572 1389 1 572 1399 2 572 1413 1 572 1426 1 572 1428 1 572 1443 2 572 1445 1 572 1445 1 572 .I 573 .T Ascertaining Activities in a Subject Area Through Bibliometric Analysis .A Saracevic, Tefko Perk, Lawrence J. .W A combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses were used on the journal articles indexed in one volume of Library Literature..

A thorough discussion of decision theory, including the components of the alternatives,states-of-nature, outcomes, and evaluations - as well as of the optimization process under the cases of certainty, risk, and uncertainty - is presented.. Bayesian statistics are also discussed to show how prior information about the various documents via classification analysis can affect the decision process under risk.. An example problem is used to illustrate the decision theory approach and to compare tha overall performance of the retrieval system under risk with and without document classification information.. Thus, the operations research technique of decision theory is used to model the retrieval decision process, illustrate how important evaluation is, and to demonstrate the value of prior information via document classification analysis.. Moreover, the paper presents, in a somewhat tutorial mode, an overall framework for considering the information retrieval decision problem, incorporating the aspects of cost-effectiveness and alternative evaluation, which allows one to better understand the contributions made by many researchers in this crucial area.. .X 75 1 575 79 1 575 120 1 575 124 1 575 125 1 575 128 1 575 135 1 575 165 1 575 175 1 575 224 1 575 244 1 575 245 1 575 291 1 575 298 1 575 315 1 575 381 2 575 419 1 575 441 2 575 448 1 575 452 1 575 456 1 575 458 1 575 459 1 575 484 1 575 511 1 575 514 1 575 516 1 575 518 2 575 521 1 575 522 1 575 523 1 575 526 1 575 527 1 575 528 1 575 529 1 575 531 1 575 554 1 575 575 5 575 577 2 575 579 1 575 591 1 575 595 1 575 599 2 575 603 1 575 610 1 575 615 2 575 619 1 575 620 1 575 621 2 575 625 2 575 626 1 575 630 2 575 636 1 575 644 1 575 649 1 575 660 2 575 692 1 575 700 1 575 705 1 575 707 1 575 727 1 575 752 2 575 754 1 575 780 2 575 812 2 575 817 1 575 822 1 575 824 2 575 875 1 575 907 1 575 925 1 575 956 1 575 1202 1 575 1282 2 575 1294 1 575 1303 1 575 1327 1 575 1364 1 575 1366 1 575 1367 1 575 1368 1 575 1402 1 575 1402 1 575 .I 576 .T Classification of Scientific Documents by Means of Self_Generated Groups Employing Free Language .A Feinman, R.

Swanson, D.R. .W This paper is developed in two stages. The first stage describes an experiment that explores properties of the class of words that are not useful in conveying subject meaning and distinguishes them from those classes of words that do convey subject meaning to various degrees. In particular, we study the clustering properties of these words; the analysis is based on statistical properties alone, and techniques are introduced that may be of value in other areas of information science. On the basis of the results of this experiment, a model of word occurrences is introduced and discussed. Later papers by us and by Harter will apply this model to indexing. .X 26 1 577 51 2 577 57 1 577 61 1 577 69 1 577 73 1 577 75 1 577 79 1 577 114 1 577 144 1 577 172 1 577 175 1 577 176 2 577 191 1 577 194 1 577 212 1 577 274 2 577 315 1 577 390 1 577 417 1 577 419 3 577 422 1 577 441 2 577 445 1 577 446 1 577 449 1 577 458 2 577 485 1 577 518 1 577 531 1 577 565 1 577 566 1 577 572 1 577 575 2 577 577 9 577 579 1 577 615 1 577 625 1 577 634 1 577 640 1 577 641 1 577 643 2 577 644 4 577 645 1 577 649 3 577 650 1 577 652 1 577 660 5 577 662 3 577 664 1 577 709 1 577 752 2 577 754 1 577 755 1 577 780 3 577 785 1 577 812 3 577 824 3 577 825 1 577 829 1 577 830 2 577 895 1 577 902 1 577 956 1 577 1033 1 577 1084 1 577 1135 1 577 1202 1 577 1279 1 577 1282 4 577 1294 1 577 1327 1 577 1387 1 577 1387 1 577 .I 578 .T Terse Literatures: I.

H. Jr. .W An effective man-machine interactive retrieval system is not achieved by simply placing a terminal on each end of an existing machine retrieval system.. An interactive system requires a sequence of steps in which man and machine alternately take action.. It should also provide different levels of services to experienced and inexperienced searchers, recognize the difference between a narrow and broad query, furnish clues as to the next direction to be searched, recognize the data base dynamically as the searcher changes his viewpoint, provide a ranking of responses in the most likely sequence and offer the searcher the option of overriding the ranking when a particular term is of extreme significance.. An online interactive system meeting many of these needs has been developed and tested.. The objectives of the development of this system, BROWSER, was to investigate the effectiveness of a free-form query with a combinatorial search algorithm and the effectiveness of various techniques and components to facilitate online browsing.. .X 61 1 579 63 1 579 124 1 579 127 1 579 129 1 579 161 1 579 172 1 579 175 2 579 190 1 579 191 2 579 194 1 579 197 2 579 211 1 579 212 1 579 214 1 579 218 1 579 224 1 579 243 1 579 274 2 579 298 1 579 307 1 579 320 1 579 330 1 579 332 1 579 348 1 579 375 1 579 378 1 579 381 1 579 389 1 579 390 2 579 417 1 579 445 1 579 446 1 579 450 1 579 451 1 579 452 1 579 454 1 579 456 1 579 458 3 579 459 2 579 468 1 579 472 1 579 484 2 579 485 1 579 487 1 579 492 1 579 502 1 579 503 1 579 506 1 579 507 1 579 508 2 579 511 1 579 512 1 579 514 2 579 518 1 579 520 1 579 523 2 579 524 1 579 525 1 579 526 3 579 528 1 579 529 1 579 530 1 579 534 2 579 546 3 579 553 1 579 554 2 579 572 1 579 575 1 579 577 1 579 579 8 579 591 2 579 593 1 579 594 3 579 595 2 579 596 2 579 597 1 579 599 2 579 600 2 579 601 1 579 603 3 579 604 2 579 606 4 579 609 1 579 610 1 579 611 1 579 612 1 579 615 2 579 619 1 579 620 1 579 621 1 579 625 2 579 626 3 579 630 2 579 636 1 579 637 2 579 640 1 579 642 1 579 648 1 579 650 1 579 692 1 579 696 1 579 699 1 579 703 1 579 705 1 579 708 1 579 723 1 579 724 1 579 726 1 579 727 1 579 728 1 579 731 1 579 732 1 579 733 1 579 734 1 579 736 1 579 738 1 579 739 1 579 740 1 579 741 1 579 742 1 579 743 1 579 744 1 579 752 1 579 754 1 579 755 1 579 780 1 579 799 1 579 801 1 579 805 2 579 806 1 579 807 1 579 814 1 579 820 1 579 822 1 579 826 3 579 827 1 579 830 1 579 836 1 579 863 1 579 864 1 579 866 1 579 867 1 579 879 1 579 883 1 579 902 1 579 907 1 579 956 2 579 963 1 579 987 1 579 988 1 579 989 2 579 1004 1 579 1033 1 579 1035 2 579 1078 1 579 1084 1 579 1089 1 579 1091 1 579 1152 1 579 1207 1 579 1264 1 579 1265 1 579 1279 1 579 1294 1 579 1297 1 579 1298 1 579 1299 1 579 1303 1 579 1327 2 579 1356 1 579 1364 1 579 1368 1 579 1370 1 579 1372 1 579 1373 1 579 1374 2 579 1375 1 579 1376 1 579 1377 1 579 1387 1 579 1405 1 579 1427 1 579 1427 1 579 .I 580 .T Overlap in the Lists of Journals Monitored by Biosis, CAS, and Ei .A Wood, James L. Flanagan, Carolyn Kennedy, H. E. .W In April 1970, the BioSciences Information Service of Biological Abstracts, the Chemical Abstracts Service, and Engineering Index, Inc. began a five-part study to determine the relationships between and the overlap in coverage in their printed publications and computer-readable services.. This study was designed to provide information needed by these three accessing services for planning future cooperative programs and for reconciling differences in policies and practices so as to make their publications and services more useful to their user communities.. This paper is based on the first part of the study, which compared listings of the journals each service was routinely monitoring as of 1 May 1970.. Of the 14,592 different journals monitored, 1% were monitored by all three of the services, 27% were monitored by two of the three services, and 72% were monitored by only one of the three services.. Subsequent phases of the study will determine the extent to which the services cover the same articles within the journals.. .X 4 1 580 18 1 580 65 1 580 91 1 580 125 2 580 127 1 580 129 1 580 145 1 580 162 1 580 211 1 580 243 1 580 253 1 580 363 1 580 378 1 580 421 1 580 432 1 580 439 1 580 440 2 580 452 1 580 453 1 580 460 1 580 461 1 580 467 1 580 468 1 580 495 1 580 506 1 580 508 1 580 511 1 580 512 1 580 514 1 580 517 1 580 520 1 580 521 1 580 523 1 580 524 1 580 526 1 580 528 1 580 576 1 580 580 16 580 604 2 580 609 2 580 612 1 580 619 1 580 622 6 580 623 1 580 629 1 580 631 1 580 632 1 580 633 1 580 642 1 580 643 1 580 644 1 580 645 1 580 646 1 580 649 1 580 650 1 580 696 2 580 699 1 580 700 1 580 705 2 580 707 1 580 708 1 580 723 1 580 726 1 580 727 2 580 728 2 580 729 2 580 730 1 580 731 1 580 736 1 580 737 1 580 738 1 580 739 1 580 741 1 580 754 1 580 770 1 580 776 1 580 809 1 580 812 1 580 813 2 580 814 1 580 820 1 580 822 1 580 866 1 580 870 2 580 873 1 580 981 1 580 1078 1 580 1089 1 580 1091 1 580 1143 1 580 1208 1 580 1264 1 580 1298 1 580 1302 1 580 1303 1 580 1366 1 580 1367 1 580 1368 1 580 1374 1 580 1376 1 580 1396 2 580 1396 2 580 .I 581 .T Structure and Effectiveness of The Citation Identifier, an Operational Computer Program for Automatic Identification of Case Citations in Legal Literature .A Borkowski, Casimir Cepanec, Louis Martin, J. Sperling Salko, Virginia Treu, Siegfried .W A computer program for automatic identification of "full form" case citations in legal literature (e.g., Rutherford v. Geddes, 4 Wall. 220, 18 L. Ed. 343; Southland Industries, Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission, 1938, 69 App. D.C., 82, 99 F.2D 117) has been developed by this group and is now operational.. The level of performance of this program known as "The Citation Identifier" is high.. In a recent computer run, The Citation Identifier scanned ther full texts of 191 randomly selected decisions of U.S. Court of Appeals (some 400,000 words of running text) and located correctly 2,220 full-form citations out of a total of 2,227 (that is, better than 99% of the total).. Only seven misses and three false drops occurred.. Of 2,220 full-form citations located correctly, 1944 (87%) were identified perfectly.. In addition, there were 276 partial identifications containing two types of errors: (1) partial identifications in which some citation terms were mistakenly lopped off by the program ("short hits"); and (2) partial identifications that contained words improperly included in the citations ("long hits"). Both types of errors are, for the most part, easily correctible and can be largely eliminated by suitable changes in the program.. The Citation Identifier operates rather rapidly.. In a recent test run, the total time required to process some 400,000 running words of text was approximately 15 1/2 minutes.. This speed could be further increased by suitable changes in the computer program.. An extension of The Citation Identifier to reduced-form citations (e.g., "the Geddes decision", "the Southland Industries case") is now in preparation.. .X 30 1 581 38 1 581 51 1 581 69 1 581 71 2 581 75 1 581 77 3 581 78 1 581 79 3 581 80 1 581 81 1 581 82 1 581 83 1 581 84 1 581 154 1 581 168 2 581 175 1 581 176 1 581 212 1 581 247 1 581 315 2 581 317 1 581 320 1 581 382 1 581 420 1 581 448 1 581 480 1 581 483 1 581 484 1 581 486 1 581 488 3 581 489 2 581 490 2 581 491 3 581 492 2 581 493 3 581 494 1 581 495 1 581 496 2 581 497 2 581 498 2 581 499 3 581 500 1 581 503 1 581 507 1 581 509 1 581 510 1 581 512 1 581 517 1 581 520 1 581 522 1 581 527 1 581 528 1 581 531 1 581 565 1 581 566 1 581 570 1 581 581 6 581 583 1 581 584 1 581 586 1 581 596 1 581 603 1 581 608 1 581 633 1 581 659 3 581 666 2 581 715 1 581 754 1 581 790 2 581 795 1 581 801 1 581 805 1 581 809 1 581 810 1 581 812 1 581 813 1 581 814 1 581 817 1 581 824 1 581 825 1 581 838 1 581 853 1 581 894 1 581 986 1 581 1035 1 581 1051 1 581 1294 4 581 1327 1 581 1393 1 581 1419 1 581 1427 1 581 1431 1 581 1443 1 581 1443 1 581 .I 582 .T Title Indexes as Alerting Services in the Chemical and Life Sciences .A Bottle, Robert T. .W The principles underlying alerting services are discussed.. General alerting services (as distinct from SDI systems) need to transfer to their users a large quantity of current but mainly irrelevent information as speedily as possible.. As title indexes are the easiest to prepare and are therefore common, the user needs to know how much significant information is not discernible from a documents title.. This is estimated to be 20-25% but can vary with subject and type of information sought.. If a search of, say, Chemical Titles is made, ignoring synonyms but allowing for all syntactical variants, only about one third of the significant information will be recovered.. Synonyms and other nomenclature problems are discussed.. Delay times and time of use are the two most important factors in evaluating an alerting service and are reviewed for some typical services.. .X 35 1 582 38 3 582 42 1 582 43 1 582 52 2 582 70 1 582 73 1 582 76 1 582 81 1 582 89 1 582 91 1 582 95 2 582 104 1 582 105 1 582 110 2 582 150 2 582 155 1 582 157 1 582 159 1 582 161 1 582 166 1 582 257 1 582 314 1 582 348 1 582 356 1 582 420 1 582 429 3 582 489 1 582 491 1 582 493 1 582 496 1 582 498 1 582 501 1 582 510 2 582 513 2 582 514 1 582 520 1 582 544 1 582 560 1 582 578 1 582 582 16 582 583 2 582 584 1 582 588 1 582 589 5 582 594 1 582 595 1 582 603 3 582 613 1 582 614 1 582 618 1 582 653 1 582 655 3 582 656 2 582 657 3 582 685 2 582 686 1 582 688 1 582 690 1 582 691 1 582 721 1 582 722 3 582 724 1 582 725 1 582 726 1 582 755 1 582 770 1 582 776 2 582 796 1 582 797 1 582 798 1 582 801 1 582 802 1 582 813 1 582 820 1 582 822 1 582 827 1 582 859 1 582 958 1 582 987 1 582 988 1 582 1012 1 582 1030 2 582 1050 1 582 1054 1 582 1062 1 582 1089 1 582 1091 1 582 1097 1 582 1154 1 582 1176 1 582 1195 1 582 1208 1 582 1232 1 582 1256 1 582 1281 1 582 1284 1 582 1285 1 582 1287 1 582 1290 1 582 1291 1 582 1293 3 582 1294 1 582 1295 3 582 1296 2 582 1297 2 582 1298 1 582 1300 1 582 1302 1 582 1319 1 582 1346 1 582 1362 1 582 1363 1 582 1386 1 582 1405 1 582 1448 1 582 1448 1 582 .I 583 .T Evaluation of a KWIC Index for Library Literature .A Brodie, N.E. .W A librarian attempting to do a literature search currently faces an eight-month gap in access to the literature of his field through Library Literature. In April 1968, librarians made a rare examination of their own literature and considered this gap and other information problems in librarianship. The Albany Conference on the Bibliographic Control of Library Science Literature recommended the establishment of a fast announcement service for library schools (1). A monthly Keyword in Context (KWIC) index serving the whole range of information-oriented professions was a specific proposal which was favored by one conference group to meet the need for current information (2). .X 38 3 583 84 1 583 159 2 583 162 1 583 175 1 583 257 1 583 348 1 583 382 1 583 429 2 583 488 1 583 489 2 583 490 1 583 491 1 583 492 1 583 493 2 583 494 1 583 495 1 583 496 1 583 497 1 583 498 1 583 499 1 583 500 1 583 501 1 583 565 1 583 581 1 583 582 2 583 583 8 583 584 1 583 585 1 583 586 2 583 608 1 583 653 1 583 655 2 583 659 1 583 688 1 583 749 1 583 795 1 583 796 1 583 797 2 583 798 2 583 799 1 583 801 2 583 802 1 583 858 1 583 859 1 583 861 1 583 986 1 583 1027 1 583 1144 1 583 1294 2 583 1327 1 583 1405 1 583 1405 1 583 .I 584 .T The Practice of Charging Users for Information Services: A State of the Art Report .A Penner, Rudolf J. .W The state of the art literature review disclosed that society has not yet come to the point that paying for library information services is a common thing.. It was also found that a sound basis for determining the costs of the services - let alone charge for them - does not exist: While some data on specific cost for unit operations are available, it is very difficult to compare the data and arrive at meaningful figures.. Nevertheless, there is an indication that large operating centers are becoming concerned with cost to the point that they are cost-according their operations, which would permit them to establish realistic fees for their services.. .X 27 1 584 38 1 584 39 1 584 67 1 584 74 3 584 76 1 584 83 4 584 84 1 584 95 1 584 104 1 584 110 1 584 120 1 584 158 1 584 161 1 584 279 1 584 287 1 584 292 1 584 348 1 584 408 1 584 488 1 584 489 1 584 490 2 584 491 2 584 492 2 584 493 1 584 494 1 584 495 2 584 496 2 584 497 2 584 499 1 584 500 1 584 554 1 584 581 1 584 582 1 584 583 1 584 584 8 584 586 1 584 589 1 584 591 2 584 606 1 584 654 1 584 655 1 584 659 1 584 795 1 584 801 1 584 851 1 584 856 1 584 857 1 584 858 1 584 859 1 584 860 1 584 861 1 584 862 1 584 986 1 584 1012 1 584 1013 1 584 1035 1 584 1187 1 584 1287 1 584 1294 1 584 1297 1 584 1300 1 584 1359 1 584 1360 1 584 1445 1 584 1445 1 584 .I 585 .T Towards a Metascience of Information: Informatology .A Otten, Klaus .A Debons, Anthony .W Arguments are advanced to suggest that information and operations on information are phenomena, the principles of which provide the basis for a metascience of information (informatology).. The fundamental character of the phenomena is evidenced in the operations executed during the processing and communication functions.. The role of the metascience is dictated by several factors, namely, the need for a common basis upon which all information- oriented specialized sciences and technologies can be understood and studied, a common framework and language for all scientists and technologists concerned in some form or other with information on one side and man's relationship to the phenomena on the other side.. The content of the postulated metascience of information is circumscribed by a list of specific questions and problems for which the science has to provide answers and solutions.. It is suggested that an educational concept responsive to the needs of metascience of information be developed and implemented.. .X 20 1 585 42 1 585 60 1 585 85 2 585 129 1 585 159 1 585 172 1 585 175 1 585 313 1 585 348 1 585 420 1 585 469 1 585 540 1 585 583 1 585 585 9 585 592 1 585 593 1 585 595 1 585 599 1 585 640 1 585 652 1 585 655 1 585 665 1 585 762 1 585 797 1 585 798 1 585 799 1 585 803 2 585 858 1 585 859 1 585 861 1 585 1022 2 585 1045 1 585 1169 2 585 1268 1 585 1309 1 585 1386 1 585 1423 1 585 1459 1 585 1459 1 585 .I 586 .T An Evaluation of Index Medicus and MEDLARS in the Field of Ophthalmology .A Virgo, Julie A. .W An evaluation of the performance of Index Medicus and MEDLARS in the field of ophthalmology is presented, using data generated by a separate study.. MEDLARS performance figures gave a screened precision ratio of 54% and a recall ratio of 42%.. Over the same set of questions Index Medicus had a screened precision ratio of 53% and a recall ratio of 46%.. Results for Index Medicus alone over a large set of questions gave a 73% screened precision ratio and a 47% recall ratio.. A random sample of MEDLARS and Index Medicus precision and recall failures showed that most of the Index Medicus recall failures resulted from manual searcher omission.. The major causes of Medlars precision failures were inadequate indexing terminalogy to express concepts and attempts at providing too exhaustive a search.. .X 38 2 586 43 1 586 47 1 586 50 1 586 65 1 586 66 1 586 75 2 586 84 1 586 86 1 586 175 2 586 211 1 586 382 2 586 389 1 586 390 1 586 488 1 586 489 1 586 490 1 586 491 1 586 492 1 586 493 1 586 494 1 586 495 1 586 496 1 586 497 1 586 499 1 586 500 1 586 514 1 586 520 1 586 565 1 586 570 1 586 576 1 586 581 1 586 583 2 586 584 1 586 586 6 586 591 1 586 603 1 586 608 3 586 610 1 586 636 1 586 643 1 586 659 2 586 778 1 586 791 1 586 795 1 586 801 1 586 820 1 586 894 1 586 958 1 586 986 2 586 1035 1 586 1144 1 586 1213 1 586 1294 2 586 1313 1 586 1327 2 586 1419 1 586 1419 1 586 .I 587 .T Obsolescence of Special Library Periodicals: Sampling Errors and Utility Contours .A Brookes, B. C. .W Problems arising in the measurement of the rates of obsolescence of the sets of periodicals taken by special libraries are discussed.. The relatively large errors that arise in sampling the negative exponential distribution are analyzed because they may account for some of the discrepancies reported and because they indicate the need for firmer statistical control of work on obsolescence than has yet been generally appreciated.. When the rate of decline has been satisfactorily established there still remains the problem of deciding how to apply it.. Issues of those periodicals that contribute most productively should be retained for a longer period than those of periodicals that contribute less.. To solve this problem the concept of "utility contours" is introduced and exemplified in the design of a p% library.. It is argued that no discarding policy is likely to be generally applicable; every special library must be regarded as a special case. Rather than suggest new measurements, therefore, the paper offers simple graphical techniques that are applicable to any other special case.. .X 33 2 587 36 2 587 41 1 587 57 1 587 73 1 587 89 1 587 97 1 587 102 1 587 106 1 587 111 1 587 112 1 587 149 1 587 155 1 587 163 1 587 175 1 587 183 1 587 184 2 587 193 2 587 195 1 587 199 1 587 201 1 587 203 2 587 204 1 587 205 1 587 210 1 587 222 1 587 225 2 587 228 1 587 229 1 587 233 1 587 267 2 587 269 1 587 314 1 587 359 2 587 373 1 587 395 1 587 494 2 587 515 1 587 519 1 587 545 1 587 552 1 587 587 15 587 605 1 587 613 1 587 614 1 587 638 1 587 667 1 587 713 1 587 735 1 587 747 1 587 748 1 587 750 5 587 751 2 587 753 1 587 759 1 587 764 2 587 765 1 587 766 1 587 767 3 587 775 3 587 778 2 587 780 1 587 782 1 587 784 1 587 787 1 587 788 1 587 789 1 587 791 1 587 792 4 587 793 7 587 794 5 587 800 7 587 804 1 587 808 3 587 823 1 587 824 1 587 829 1 587 840 1 587 895 1 587 905 1 587 925 1 587 948 1 587 953 1 587 977 1 587 983 1 587 1016 1 587 1023 1 587 1030 1 587 1055 1 587 1081 1 587 1082 1 587 1083 1 587 1085 2 587 1086 2 587 1087 1 587 1090 1 587 1091 1 587 1123 1 587 1135 1 587 1201 1 587 1219 1 587 1222 1 587 1260 1 587 1275 1 587 1276 1 587 1278 2 587 1280 1 587 1282 1 587 1285 4 587 1286 1 587 1287 2 587 1302 1 587 1307 1 587 1308 1 587 1324 1 587 1335 1 587 1390 1 587 1397 1 587 1401 1 587 1416 1 587 1417 3 587 1418 1 587 1428 1 587 1432 1 587 1432 1 587 .I 588 .T Cardiovascular Serial Literature: Characteristics, Productive Journals, and Abstracting/Indexing Coverage .A Frick, Barbara F. .A Ginski, John M. .W Two groups of journals were identified as potential sources for cardiovascular (c-v) information.. The first group consists of 78 c-v specialty journals, identified as cardiovascular from the title.. These 78 emanate from 24 countries, with about one-half of the specialty journals being published by 28 national and international societies.. The second group of journals is composed of those journals used by grantees of the National Heart Institute (NHI) to publish their findings.. In fiscal 1967, 5,860 papers, appearing in 789 journals, were reported to NHI.. Taking the grantees of NHI as being representative of U.S. c-v researchers, it was found that the specialty journals were not the most quantitatively fertile sources of c-v information - only about 14% of American c-v papers were published there.. The remaining 86% of the literature was widely dispersed throughout 766 nonspecialty c-v journals.. The extent of bibliographic control by the major indexing and abstracting services was found to be more extensive for the top-ranking journals in the NHI sample than for the group of c-v specialty journals.. .X 33 1 588 36 1 588 90 1 588 91 1 588 161 1 588 183 1 588 184 1 588 193 1 588 198 1 588 199 1 588 201 1 588 202 1 588 203 1 588 204 1 588 205 1 588 209 1 588 212 1 588 217 1 588 220 1 588 222 1 588 284 1 588 286 1 588 294 1 588 379 1 588 429 1 588 513 1 588 543 1 588 582 1 588 588 6 588 589 1 588 603 1 588 613 3 588 614 1 588 616 1 588 618 1 588 624 1 588 657 1 588 685 2 588 686 1 588 691 1 588 721 1 588 722 1 588 724 1 588 725 1 588 735 1 588 775 1 588 793 1 588 799 1 588 800 1 588 808 1 588 821 1 588 958 1 588 959 1 588 987 1 588 988 1 588 1010 1 588 1086 1 588 1087 1 588 1151 1 588 1208 1 588 1275 1 588 1283 1 588 1290 1 588 1293 1 588 1302 2 588 1355 1 588 1355 1 588 .I 589 .T Are Titles of Chemical Papers Becoming More Informative? .A Tocatlian, Jacques J. .W The efficiency of key-work-in-context (KWIC) permuted-title indexes and their numerous variations is highly dependent upon authors' choices of titles for their papers.. Titles are important not only in commercial services, such as Chemical Titles, BASIC, Current Contents, and CA Condensates, but also in scanning primary journals, and in traditional library services, such as bibliographies.. It is generally believed and often stated that titles of chemical papers are becoming more informative as authors become increasingly aware of the importance of titles as "carriers" of information.. The present study was undertaken to test whether (1) titles of chemical papers are becoming more informative and (2) whether uninformative titles of chemical papers are being eliminated since the advent of the KWIC index in 1958.. The first hypothesis was tested by comparing titles published in 1948, 1958, and 1968 by the following criteria: (1) a count of substantive words in the title; (2) a count of all word matches between title and 10 leading substantive words selected from the abstract, with and without the use of a thesaurus; and (3) a count of word matches between title and 10 leading substantive words selected from the abstract, with and without the use of a thesaurus.. The second hypothesis was tested by comparing a count of short titles (with 3 or less substantive words) published in 1948, 1958, and 1968.. Results confirm that uninformative titles of chemical papers are being eliminated and that informative titles are becoming more informative since the advent of the KWIC index.. .X 35 1 589 38 2 589 42 1 589 43 1 589 52 3 589 53 1 589 70 1 589 73 1 589 76 1 589 81 1 589 88 1 589 89 1 589 91 1 589 95 2 589 104 1 589 110 1 589 150 4 589 161 1 589 175 2 589 384 1 589 390 1 589 420 1 589 429 2 589 503 2 589 510 1 589 513 1 589 517 1 589 560 1 589 576 2 589 578 1 589 582 5 589 584 1 589 588 1 589 589 14 589 594 1 589 595 1 589 603 3 589 613 1 589 614 1 589 618 1 589 655 2 589 656 1 589 657 4 589 685 1 589 686 1 589 691 1 589 711 1 589 721 1 589 722 4 589 724 1 589 725 1 589 820 1 589 830 1 589 958 1 589 987 1 589 988 1 589 1054 1 589 1089 1 589 1144 2 589 1154 1 589 1195 3 589 1208 1 589 1232 1 589 1256 1 589 1281 2 589 1287 1 589 1293 1 589 1295 1 589 1297 1 589 1298 1 589 1300 1 589 1302 1 589 1421 1 589 1421 1 589 .I 590 .T Toward a Theory of Indexing--II .A Landry, Bertrand C. .A Rush, James E. .W The purpose of this paper is to present the elements of a basis for a theory of information storage and retrieval.. It is believed that this theory can best be formulated in terms of a general theory of indexing.. After stating basic premises and defining essential concepts, the relationship between a theory of indexing and a theory of information storage and retrieval is considered.. The similarities between the indexing process and the general communication process are discussed, and indexing is viewed as an order increasing (i.e., entropy decreasing) operation.. The concept of a theoretical index is developed and contrasted with real-world indexing systems.. The relationship between query formulation, retrieval, and benefit is discussed, and these notions are then related to the human performance variable. It is believed that the ideas presented in this paper provide a useful framework for more detailed investigations into the indexing process.. .X 29 1 590 58 2 590 68 1 590 117 3 590 165 2 590 168 1 590 320 1 590 445 2 590 451 1 590 476 1 590 525 1 590 572 2 590 590 5 590 609 1 590 621 1 590 656 1 590 664 1 590 668 1 590 670 1 590 671 1 590 674 1 590 683 2 590 689 3 590 715 1 590 762 1 590 797 1 590 814 1 590 819 1 590 901 1 590 1045 1 590 1046 2 590 1047 1 590 1077 2 590 1213 1 590 1231 2 590 1389 1 590 1443 2 590 1443 2 590 .I 591 .T The Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Information Retrieval and Dissemination Systems .A Lancaster, F.W. .W A distinction is made between cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-benefits analysis as applied to information systems; and the relationship between costs, performance, and benefits is discussed.. Some factors influencing the cost-effectiveness of retrieval and dissemination systems are identified.. Various aspects of system operation that are susceptible to cost-effectiveness analysis are discussed, including system coverage, indexing policies and procedures, system vocabulary, searching procedures, and mode of interaction between system and user.. Possible tradeoffs between input and output costs, and the effects of these tradeoffs on cost-effectiveness are presented. .X 18 1 591 27 1 591 34 1 591 49 1 591 53 1 591 59 1 591 74 3 591 83 2 591 153 1 591 158 1 591 161 1 591 164 2 591 175 1 591 178 1 591 197 1 591 202 1 591 206 1 591 208 1 591 213 1 591 217 1 591 222 1 591 223 1 591 224 2 591 243 1 591 245 2 591 255 1 591 271 1 591 273 1 591 277 1 591 279 1 591 288 2 591 289 1 591 291 1 591 292 1 591 298 1 591 305 1 591 331 1 591 375 1 591 381 4 591 408 2 591 416 1 591 421 1 591 445 1 591 453 1 591 454 1 591 456 1 591 458 1 591 465 1 591 466 1 591 472 1 591 490 3 591 491 2 591 492 1 591 495 1 591 496 2 591 497 1 591 503 1 591 506 2 591 507 2 591 510 1 591 512 2 591 514 1 591 554 2 591 575 1 591 579 2 591 584 2 591 586 1 591 591 20 591 592 1 591 593 1 591 594 1 591 595 3 591 596 1 591 597 1 591 599 2 591 600 1 591 603 4 591 604 2 591 606 2 591 608 1 591 610 1 591 615 1 591 619 1 591 620 1 591 621 1 591 622 1 591 623 1 591 625 1 591 629 1 591 630 1 591 633 1 591 639 2 591 659 1 591 676 1 591 687 1 591 711 1 591 714 1 591 722 1 591 723 3 591 724 2 591 726 1 591 728 1 591 730 1 591 731 1 591 732 1 591 752 1 591 776 1 591 779 2 591 780 1 591 801 1 591 805 1 591 806 1 591 809 2 591 810 1 591 813 1 591 814 1 591 816 1 591 820 1 591 822 3 591 828 1 591 834 1 591 836 1 591 860 1 591 865 1 591 866 1 591 867 1 591 870 1 591 879 1 591 907 1 591 915 1 591 925 2 591 956 1 591 957 2 591 959 1 591 960 1 591 961 1 591 962 3 591 964 2 591 972 1 591 976 2 591 984 1 591 986 1 591 989 1 591 1078 1 591 1089 1 591 1091 1 591 1148 1 591 1227 1 591 1283 1 591 1298 2 591 1299 2 591 1317 1 591 1327 1 591 1353 2 591 1359 1 591 1360 1 591 1363 1 591 1366 1 591 1367 1 591 1368 1 591 1396 1 591 1400 3 591 1401 1 591 1405 1 591 1410 1 591 1424 1 591 1424 1 591 .I 592 .T Some Remarks on Elitism in Information and the Invisible College Phenomenon in Science .A De Solla Price, D.J. .W Let me remind you of that famous place in Dickins' Pickwick Papers where we hear of a researcher who composed a copious review on Chinese Metaphysics with the aid only of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which contained absolutely no information on that subject. The technique used, we are told with a nudge of superiority, was to read for metaphysics under the letter M, and for China under the letter C, and to combine the information. I feel that we may be performing just such a miracle of creative juxtaposition when we assume that Scientific Information is just some special variety of information that contains queer words like Potassium Permanganate, pi r squared, and numbers like 2.71828. We suppose too that Scientific Libraries are just libraries that happen to be full of scientific books, and that the best possible technical librarian would be somebody who had picked up a library qualification and combined it with the appropriate sort of technical qualification. There is, as they used to say, no mixture of ingredients but a genuine chemical compound. I wish to point out two simple facts: there is more to scholarship than the mere cumulation, storage and retrieval of information, and there is about science and technology something intrinsically different from mere scholarship. .X 15 1 592 19 1 592 32 1 592 55 1 592 74 1 592 83 1 592 103 1 592 105 1 592 110 1 592 111 1 592 113 1 592 161 1 592 163 1 592 175 1 592 243 1 592 245 1 592 255 1 592 273 1 592 279 1 592 288 1 592 331 1 592 356 1 592 381 1 592 408 1 592 475 1 592 490 1 592 496 1 592 545 1 592 560 1 592 585 1 592 591 1 592 592 9 592 593 1 592 595 1 592 602 1 592 607 1 592 716 1 592 723 1 592 724 1 592 735 1 592 747 1 592 777 1 592 791 2 592 834 1 592 860 1 592 893 1 592 925 1 592 957 1 592 976 1 592 1030 2 592 1062 1 592 1085 1 592 1087 1 592 1089 1 592 1148 1 592 1200 1 592 1209 1 592 1227 1 592 1285 1 592 1291 1 592 1293 2 592 1296 1 592 1298 2 592 1309 1 592 1317 1 592 1337 1 592 1338 1 592 1346 1 592 1347 1 592 1353 1 592 1359 1 592 1360 1 592 1400 1 592 1410 1 592 1424 1 592 1424 1 592 .I 593 .T Human Factors in the Design of an Interactive Library System .A McAllister, Caryl Bell, John M. .W ELMS (Experimental Library Management System) is an experimental system for total library management, operating on-line with an IBM 360 through IBM 2260 and 2741 terminals.. The system is designed to handle large amounts of highly variable information which it processes on command, giving on-line computer service for all library operations.. At the same time, it must accommodate the different needs and skills of a broad range of library users, from new patrons to well-trained librarians.. Such a system presents programming problems that will be typical of large, interactive computer systems in the seventies.. This paper discusses ELMS features that facilitate user interaction, and may prove useful in similar systems: techniques for tutoring the user (display format, one-question, one-answer displays, and KWIC indexing); adaptability for the experienced user (command chains and a standard set of four-letter mnemonic codes for higher-level control); minimization of keying (line numbers, one-character mnemonic codes used with procedures, and use of default conditions); performance of clerical tasks by exception notification; and collection of operational statistics to help improve the system.. .X 66 1 593 78 1 593 161 1 593 175 1 593 197 2 593 218 1 593 332 1 593 375 1 593 445 1 593 454 1 593 472 1 593 503 1 593 506 1 593 507 1 593 546 1 593 547 1 593 554 1 593 579 1 593 585 1 593 591 1 593 592 1 593 593 5 593 594 2 593 595 2 593 596 1 593 597 1 593 599 1 593 600 1 593 603 1 593 604 1 593 606 2 593 723 1 593 724 1 593 801 1 593 805 1 593 806 1 593 836 1 593 866 1 593 867 1 593 956 1 593 989 1 593 1035 1 593 1298 1 593 1299 1 593 1309 1 593 1327 1 593 1405 1 593 1405 1 593 .I 594 .T On-Line Systems: Promise and Pitfalls .A Cuadra, Carlos A. .W Interactive systems, in existence for nearly 15 years, are becoming increasingly important, both for information retrieval and library support operations.. The virtues of these systems are speed, intimacy, and - if time-sharing is involved - economy.. The major problems are the cost of the large computers and files necessary for bibliographic data, the still- high cost of communications, and the generally poor design of the user- system interfaces.. The desirable features of on-line retrieval interfaces are only now being defined and tested in a systematic way, e.g., by the National Library of Medicine in its AIM-TWX nationwide experimental retrieval service.. System implementers must, in addition to engineering the right capabilities into on-line systems, also make a careful, concerted effort to engineer user acceptance.. Common pitfalls here include overselling system capabilities and failure to take into account the social context around the user terminal.. The major national problem is to avoid or limit wasteful and expensive duplication in providing nationwide search access to the hundreds of public and private data bases that will be readily available during the next few years.. We do not need technological breakthroughs to exploit the potential of on-line systems, but we do need breakthroughs in organizing for technological change.. .X 35 1 594 42 1 594 43 1 594 52 1 594 66 1 594 70 1 594 73 1 594 75 1 594 81 1 594 95 1 594 124 2 594 127 1 594 129 1 594 145 1 594 161 1 594 190 1 594 191 2 594 197 3 594 211 2 594 214 1 594 218 3 594 235 1 594 243 2 594 253 1 594 289 1 594 291 1 594 307 1 594 312 1 594 330 1 594 332 2 594 375 2 594 378 1 594 382 1 594 408 1 594 420 1 594 445 1 594 450 1 594 451 1 594 452 2 594 454 1 594 459 3 594 468 1 594 472 1 594 475 1 594 484 2 594 492 2 594 497 1 594 503 1 594 505 1 594 506 2 594 507 2 594 508 3 594 510 1 594 511 1 594 512 1 594 514 2 594 518 1 594 520 1 594 523 3 594 524 1 594 525 1 594 526 2 594 528 1 594 529 1 594 530 1 594 532 1 594 533 1 594 534 2 594 546 4 594 547 2 594 548 2 594 553 1 594 554 1 594 578 1 594 579 3 594 582 1 594 589 1 594 591 1 594 593 2 594 594 14 594 595 2 594 596 1 594 597 2 594 598 2 594 599 1 594 600 1 594 601 2 594 602 1 594 603 2 594 604 4 594 606 6 594 607 1 594 609 1 594 610 1 594 611 2 594 612 1 594 619 1 594 625 1 594 626 2 594 630 1 594 636 1 594 637 2 594 642 1 594 648 1 594 650 1 594 655 1 594 656 1 594 657 1 594 692 1 594 696 1 594 699 1 594 703 1 594 705 1 594 708 1 594 723 1 594 724 1 594 726 1 594 727 1 594 728 3 594 731 1 594 732 1 594 733 2 594 734 1 594 736 1 594 738 1 594 739 1 594 740 1 594 741 1 594 742 1 594 743 1 594 744 1 594 755 1 594 801 1 594 805 1 594 806 1 594 820 1 594 826 2 594 827 1 594 830 1 594 836 2 594 863 1 594 864 1 594 865 1 594 866 3 594 867 2 594 868 1 594 879 1 594 883 1 594 885 1 594 897 1 594 916 1 594 936 1 594 956 1 594 972 1 594 989 1 594 1004 1 594 1035 2 594 1042 1 594 1051 1 594 1052 1 594 1054 1 594 1078 1 594 1087 1 594 1089 1 594 1091 1 594 1154 1 594 1207 1 594 1232 1 594 1248 1 594 1264 1 594 1281 1 594 1284 1 594 1295 1 594 1297 1 594 1298 2 594 1299 1 594 1303 6 594 1327 2 594 1356 1 594 1364 1 594 1368 2 594 1370 1 594 1372 1 594 1373 1 594 1374 2 594 1375 1 594 1376 1 594 1377 1 594 1405 1 594 1427 1 594 1427 1 594 .I 595 .T Selected Results From An Inquiry Into Testing of Information Retrieval Systems .A Saracevic, Tefko .W A variety of aspects related to testing of retrieval systems were examined.. A model of a retrieval system, together with a set of measures and a methodology for performance testing were developed.. In the main experiment the effect on performance of the following variables was tested: sources of indexing, indexing languages, coding schemes, question analyses, search strategies and formats of output.. In addition, a series of separate experiments was carried out to investigate the problems of controls in experimentation with IR systems.. The main conclusions: the human factor appears to be the main variable in all components of an IR system; length of indexes affects performance considerably more than indexing languages; question analyses and search strategies to affect performance to a great extent - as much, if not more than indexing.. Retrieval systems seem to be able to perform at present only on a general level, failing to be at the same time comprehensive and specific.. It seems that testing of total IR systems controlling and monitoring all factors (environmental and systems-related) is not possible at present.. .X 18 1 595 28 1 595 34 1 595 35 1 595 42 1 595 43 1 595 49 1 595 52 1 595 53 1 595 57 1 595 59 1 595 68 1 595 70 1 595 73 1 595 75 1 595 77 1 595 78 1 595 79 1 595 81 1 595 95 1 595 157 1 595 161 1 595 164 1 595 175 2 595 176 1 595 197 1 595 202 1 595 213 1 595 224 2 595 243 1 595 298 1 595 329 1 595 375 1 595 381 2 595 389 1 595 420 2 595 421 1 595 445 1 595 454 1 595 456 1 595 458 1 595 465 1 595 466 1 595 468 1 595 472 1 595 490 1 595 491 1 595 503 1 595 506 2 595 507 2 595 510 1 595 512 1 595 514 2 595 518 1 595 554 2 595 565 3 595 572 1 595 575 1 595 578 1 595 579 2 595 582 1 595 585 1 595 589 1 595 591 3 595 592 1 595 593 2 595 594 2 595 595 10 595 596 2 595 597 1 595 599 2 595 600 1 595 603 3 595 604 2 595 606 1 595 608 1 595 615 2 595 619 2 595 620 1 595 621 1 595 622 1 595 623 1 595 625 1 595 629 1 595 630 1 595 633 1 595 639 1 595 646 1 595 655 1 595 656 1 595 657 1 595 659 1 595 676 1 595 711 1 595 722 1 595 723 2 595 724 1 595 726 1 595 728 1 595 730 1 595 731 1 595 732 1 595 752 2 595 762 1 595 780 1 595 785 1 595 790 1 595 801 1 595 805 1 595 806 1 595 809 1 595 810 2 595 812 1 595 813 2 595 814 2 595 820 2 595 822 3 595 827 1 595 828 1 595 829 1 595 836 1 595 866 1 595 867 1 595 870 2 595 879 1 595 894 1 595 895 1 595 907 1 595 928 1 595 956 2 595 963 1 595 989 1 595 990 1 595 991 1 595 1054 1 595 1091 2 595 1118 1 595 1124 1 595 1131 1 595 1154 1 595 1232 1 595 1255 1 595 1281 2 595 1282 1 595 1283 1 595 1295 1 595 1298 3 595 1299 2 595 1309 1 595 1327 2 595 1363 1 595 1366 1 595 1367 1 595 1368 1 595 1382 1 595 1396 1 595 1405 1 595 1413 1 595 1445 1 595 1445 1 595 .I 596 .T What Makes An Automatic Keyword Classification Effective? .A Jones, K. Sparck .A Barber, E. O. .W Though the idea of constructing a keyword classification for retrieval purposes automatically is not a new one, comparatively few systematic experiments have been carried out in this area; and while many suggestions have been put forward, not enough is known about the behaviour of automatic keyword classifications, and hence about the properties such classifications should have and the ways they should be used.. In previous experiments we showed that some forms of classification could give good results, and this paper describes a further series of tests designed to examine this sort of classification in more detail, with a view to establishing the optimum forms of classification and procedures for using them in different retrieval situations.. These tests demonstrate that further improvements in performance over that for unclassified keywords can be obtained, and that definite conclusions can be drawn about the correct approach to classification for collections like the test one: the best results are given when grouping is confined to strongly connected, nonfrequent keywords, when the classification is used to provide additional rather than alternative indexing terms, particularly for requests, and when matching is controlled by keyword frequency.. .X 51 1 596 57 1 596 63 1 596 69 1 596 71 1 596 75 1 596 77 1 596 79 1 596 161 1 596 168 1 596 175 3 596 176 4 596 197 1 596 315 1 596 329 1 596 348 1 596 375 1 596 382 1 596 389 1 596 390 1 596 445 1 596 448 1 596 454 1 596 472 1 596 480 1 596 483 1 596 484 1 596 486 1 596 487 1 596 488 2 596 491 1 596 493 1 596 502 1 596 503 2 596 506 1 596 507 2 596 509 2 596 510 1 596 512 1 596 517 1 596 520 1 596 522 1 596 527 1 596 528 1 596 531 1 596 554 1 596 565 2 596 566 1 596 570 1 596 572 1 596 579 2 596 581 1 596 591 1 596 593 1 596 594 1 596 595 2 596 596 6 596 597 1 596 599 1 596 600 2 596 601 1 596 603 2 596 604 1 596 606 1 596 608 2 596 619 1 596 633 1 596 659 1 596 715 1 596 723 1 596 724 1 596 754 1 596 790 1 596 799 1 596 801 1 596 805 3 596 806 1 596 807 1 596 809 1 596 810 2 596 812 2 596 813 2 596 814 2 596 817 1 596 824 1 596 825 1 596 836 1 596 863 1 596 864 1 596 866 1 596 867 1 596 870 1 596 894 2 596 928 1 596 956 2 596 963 2 596 987 1 596 988 1 596 989 2 596 990 1 596 991 1 596 1051 1 596 1152 1 596 1255 1 596 1265 1 596 1294 2 596 1298 1 596 1299 1 596 1327 3 596 1405 1 596 1413 1 596 1419 1 596 1427 1 596 1445 1 596 1445 1 596 .I 597 .T Machine-Assisted Approach to General Reference Materials .A Meredith, J.

Williams, J. .W The Curriculum Committee of the Special Interest Group/Education Information Science of ASIS is charged with the responsibility for determining the scope and characteristics of information science programs in the US and Canada in terms of Curriculum developments and course offerings. To fulfill this responsibility, questionnaires were developed to elicit reliable information concerning courses being offered relating to information storage and retrieval, information science and/or documentation. The data requested included course levels, pre- and post-requisite courses, textbooks used, topics covered, frequency with which offered, etc. Responses were received from 45 schools, providing information about 185 courses and 242 topics. Using several methods of clustering the data, it was difficult to arrive at firm results, because of the diversity and scatter of the topics included in this field. It was therefore decided to hold a workshop of experts which would examine the validity of the questionnaire results. This workshop, using the Delphi technique to arrive at consensus, was held at the University of Pittsburgh on September 21-23, 1970. Sixteen specialists in the field representing universities industry and government were brought together to participate. Consensus was reached in identifying nine factors which contribute to the curriculum in information science and seven courses which constitute the core for the Master's program. The topics to be included in each of these courses were also isolated. .X 5 1 598 217 1 598 235 1 598 243 1 598 249 1 598 289 1 598 291 1 598 364 1 598 385 1 598 459 1 598 505 1 598 535 1 598 548 1 598 553 1 598 594 2 598 597 1 598 598 8 598 601 1 598 779 1 598 836 1 598 863 1 598 864 1 598 865 1 598 866 1 598 868 1 598 885 1 598 897 1 598 916 1 598 936 1 598 972 1 598 1052 1 598 1166 1 598 1248 1 598 1403 1 598 1403 1 598 .I 599 .T On the Evaluation of Information Science .A Harmon, Glynn .W The emergence and development of information science within its wider disciplinary framework is interpreted.. Information science is approached as one of a modern generation of communication or behavioral disciplines which emerged almost simultaneously around World War II.. Consequently, an attempt is made to discern the evolution of relationship between information science and other generation disciplines.. The internal development of information science is first sketched.. Second, possible relationship and roles of information science within a potentially emergent suprasystem of knowledge are discussed.. .X 20 1 599 42 1 599 60 1 599 85 1 599 120 1 599 128 1 599 129 1 599 135 1 599 161 1 599 172 1 599 175 1 599 197 1 599 224 1 599 228 1 599 244 1 599 245 1 599 291 1 599 298 1 599 375 1 599 381 1 599 445 1 599 454 1 599 456 1 599 458 1 599 459 1 599 469 1 599 472 1 599 503 1 599 505 1 599 506 1 599 507 1 599 514 1 599 554 2 599 575 2 599 579 2 599 585 1 599 591 2 599 593 1 599 594 1 599 595 2 599 596 1 599 597 1 599 599 5 599 600 1 599 603 2 599 604 1 599 606 1 599 615 1 599 619 1 599 620 1 599 621 2 599 625 1 599 630 2 599 640 1 599 652 1 599 665 1 599 692 1 599 723 1 599 724 1 599 752 1 599 762 1 599 780 1 599 801 1 599 803 2 599 805 1 599 806 1 599 822 1 599 836 1 599 866 1 599 867 1 599 907 1 599 925 1 599 956 1 599 989 1 599 1022 1 599 1045 1 599 1082 1 599 1268 1 599 1298 1 599 1299 1 599 1327 1 599 1402 1 599 1405 1 599 1405 1 599 .I 600 .T Compound Words: A Problem in Post-Coordinate Retrieval Systems .A Jones, Kevin P. .W Compound words cause some difficulty in post-coordinate indexing systems: if too many are fractured, or the wrong categories are selected for fracturing, noise will be produced at unacceptable levels on retrieval.. Various prior suggestions for handling compound terms are examined which include those for pre-coordinated or rotated, indexes.. The syntactic origins are also explored and it is found that many compound words hinge on a prepositional relationship between the components, and that this relationship can be applied to decision making.. Other compound words are in effect abbreviated statements from longer phrases, while some are influenced by the presence of a verb-like form.. These syntactic influences, together with some of the philosophy from earlier studies - especially that of the 'force' required to fracture a term, have been combined to produce a set of rules which have been employed at the National Rubber Producers' Research Association (NRPRA) for over two years.. These have greatly eased decision making and have enabled the thesaural vocabulary to be made more consistent.. It is also suggested that the rules have some bearing on the application of roles especially if these are employed on a pre-coordinate basis.. .X 63 1 600 160 1 600 161 1 600 175 2 600 197 1 600 348 1 600 375 1 600 389 1 600 390 1 600 445 1 600 454 1 600 472 1 600 477 1 600 487 1 600 502 1 600 503 1 600 506 1 600 507 1 600 554 1 600 558 2 600 579 2 600 591 1 600 593 1 600 594 1 600 595 1 600 596 2 600 597 1 600 599 1 600 600 5 600 601 1 600 603 1 600 604 1 600 606 1 600 653 2 600 723 1 600 724 1 600 746 1 600 781 1 600 799 1 600 801 1 600 805 2 600 806 1 600 807 1 600 836 1 600 863 1 600 864 1 600 866 1 600 867 1 600 901 1 600 956 2 600 963 1 600 987 1 600 988 1 600 989 2 600 1152 1 600 1265 1 600 1294 1 600 1298 1 600 1299 1 600 1327 2 600 1394 1 600 1405 1 600 1414 1 600 1422 1 600 1422 1 600 .I 601 .T Some Implications of Automatic Recognition of Bibliographic Elements .A Shoffner, Ralph M. .W A theoretical approach to the problem of converting printed bibliographic records to machine readable form is developed based on principles of system analysis..

Using sociometric techniques, an informal communication network was identified which included 73% of the scientists.. Within the network was a core group of scientists who were the focus of a disproportionately large number of contacts and who were differentiated from others by greater productivity, higher citation record and wider readership.. Information transferred to these scientists is so situated that it could be transmitted to 95% of the network scientists through one intermediary scientist or less.. .X 39 1 602 89 1 602 98 1 602 100 1 602 105 1 602 107 1 602 111 2 602 113 1 602 161 1 602 163 1 602 191 1 602 243 1 602 312 1 602 356 1 602 359 1 602 459 1 602 475 1 602 545 1 602 560 2 602 592 1 602 594 1 602 602 5 602 607 1 602 618 1 602 632 1 602 728 1 602 972 1 602 1010 1 602 1030 1 602 1044 1 602 1062 1 602 1082 1 602 1083 1 602 1085 1 602 1284 1 602 1291 1 602 1293 1 602 1296 2 602 1298 1 602 1300 1 602 1301 1 602 1302 1 602 1303 1 602 1346 1 602 1347 1 602 1444 1 602 1444 1 602 .I 603 .T The Efficiency of MEDLARS Titles for Retrieval .A Miller, William L. .W Previous research has indicated that the titles rather than index terms would, in the standard MEDLARS system, gave lower Recall but higher Precision.. A title searching technique is described which allows the number of references retrieved to be fixed before a search commences.. With this technique the greater applicability of title-terms offsets their relative paucity.. The title-searching technique is tested using queries put to MEDLARS.. These queries were not specially solicited for the test.. Title searching is compared with the standard MEDLARS index term search and with an index term search with fixed output size.. For equal output sizes, Title searching retrieves 4 relevant references for every 5 retrieved by index term searching.. Thus the relative retrieval efficiency of Title and Index terms is so close that the choice of one method or the other must be primarily on economic grounds.. .X 18 1 603 34 2 603 38 3 603 49 1 603 51 1 603 52 2 603 53 1 603 59 1 603 69 1 603 71 1 603 77 1 603 79 1 603 91 1 603 124 1 603 127 1 603 129 1 603 150 3 603 161 1 603 164 1 603 168 1 603 175 2 603 176 1 603 190 1 603 191 1 603 197 2 603 202 1 603 211 1 603 213 1 603 214 1 603 218 1 603 224 2 603 243 2 603 298 1 603 307 1 603 315 1 603 330 1 603 375 1 603 378 1 603 381 1 603 382 1 603 421 1 603 429 2 603 445 1 603 448 1 603 450 1 603 451 1 603 452 1 603 454 1 603 456 1 603 458 1 603 459 1 603 465 1 603 466 1 603 468 1 603 472 1 603 480 1 603 483 1 603 484 2 603 486 1 603 488 1 603 490 1 603 491 2 603 492 1 603 493 1 603 503 2 603 506 2 603 507 3 603 508 1 603 509 1 603 510 6 603 511 1 603 512 3 603 513 1 603 514 3 603 517 1 603 518 1 603 520 3 603 522 1 603 523 1 603 524 1 603 525 1 603 526 1 603 527 1 603 528 1 603 529 1 603 530 1 603 531 1 603 534 1 603 546 1 603 553 1 603 554 2 603 565 1 603 566 1 603 575 1 603 579 3 603 581 1 603 582 3 603 586 1 603 588 1 603 589 3 603 591 4 603 593 1 603 594 2 603 595 3 603 596 2 603 597 1 603 599 2 603 600 1 603 603 13 603 604 3 603 606 2 603 608 2 603 609 1 603 610 2 603 611 1 603 612 1 603 613 1 603 614 1 603 615 1 603 618 1 603 619 1 603 620 1 603 621 1 603 622 1 603 623 1 603 625 2 603 626 1 603 629 1 603 630 2 603 633 2 603 636 1 603 637 1 603 639 1 603 642 1 603 648 1 603 650 1 603 657 1 603 659 2 603 676 1 603 685 1 603 686 1 603 691 1 603 692 1 603 696 1 603 699 1 603 703 1 603 705 1 603 708 1 603 711 1 603 715 1 603 721 1 603 722 4 603 723 2 603 724 2 603 725 1 603 726 4 603 727 1 603 728 2 603 730 1 603 731 2 603 732 2 603 733 1 603 734 1 603 736 1 603 738 1 603 739 1 603 740 1 603 741 1 603 742 1 603 743 1 603 744 1 603 752 1 603 754 1 603 755 2 603 780 1 603 790 1 603 801 1 603 805 2 603 806 1 603 807 1 603 809 2 603 810 2 603 812 1 603 813 5 603 814 2 603 817 1 603 820 4 603 822 3 603 824 1 603 825 1 603 826 1 603 827 2 603 828 1 603 830 1 603 836 1 603 866 1 603 867 1 603 870 1 603 879 2 603 883 1 603 894 1 603 907 1 603 956 1 603 958 1 603 986 1 603 987 1 603 988 1 603 989 1 603 1004 1 603 1035 1 603 1051 1 603 1078 1 603 1089 1 603 1091 4 603 1144 1 603 1195 2 603 1207 1 603 1208 1 603 1264 1 603 1283 1 603 1293 1 603 1294 1 603 1297 1 603 1298 2 603 1299 2 603 1302 1 603 1303 1 603 1327 2 603 1356 1 603 1363 1 603 1364 1 603 1366 1 603 1367 1 603 1368 2 603 1370 1 603 1372 1 603 1373 1 603 1374 1 603 1375 1 603 1376 1 603 1377 1 603 1396 1 603 1405 1 603 1419 1 603 1421 1 603 1427 1 603 1448 3 603 1448 3 603 .I 604 .T Comparison of Document Data Bases .A Schipma, Peter B. .A Williams, Martha E. .A Shafton, Allan L. .W This paper presents a detailed analysis of the content and format of seven machine-readable bibliographic data bases: Chemical Abstract Service Condensates, Chemical and Biological Activities, and Polymer Science and Technology, Biosciences Information Service's BA Previews including Biological Abstracts and BioReseach Index, Institute for Science Information Source Tape, and Engineering Index COMPENDEX..

The independent variables are the growth rate of the number of articles published and the decay rate of citation of old literature.. It is shown how the parameters of the model can be estimated.. .X 33 2 605 36 1 605 39 1 605 41 1 605 89 1 605 97 1 605 101 1 605 102 2 605 105 1 605 106 1 605 111 1 605 112 1 605 113 1 605 163 1 605 183 1 605 184 1 605 193 1 605 199 1 605 203 1 605 210 1 605 225 1 605 269 1 605 314 1 605 373 1 605 377 1 605 455 1 605 544 1 605 545 1 605 552 1 605 560 1 605 587 1 605 605 5 605 613 2 605 614 1 605 632 1 605 638 1 605 667 2 605 735 1 605 747 1 605 750 2 605 753 1 605 766 1 605 767 1 605 775 2 605 782 1 605 784 1 605 788 1 605 789 1 605 793 1 605 800 2 605 808 1 605 905 1 605 953 1 605 977 1 605 983 1 605 1016 1 605 1023 1 605 1030 1 605 1055 1 605 1063 1 605 1081 1 605 1082 1 605 1087 2 605 1088 1 605 1090 1 605 1135 1 605 1260 1 605 1273 1 605 1274 1 605 1275 1 605 1276 1 605 1278 1 605 1280 1 605 1285 3 605 1286 2 605 1287 3 605 1302 2 605 1308 1 605 1312 2 605 1313 1 605 1334 1 605 1335 1 605 1390 1 605 1397 1 605 1417 1 605 1428 1 605 1432 1 605 1432 1 605 .I 606 .T Interface Design for An Interactive Information Retrieval System: A Literature Survey and a Research System Description .A Thompson, David A., Ph.D. .W This article focuses on the human interaction characteristics of an information retrieval system, suggests some design considerations to improve man-machine cooperation, and describes a research system at Stanford that is exploring some of these techniques.. Librarians can only be of limited assistance in helping the naive user formulate an unstructured feeling in his mind into an appropriate search query that maps into the retrieval system.. Consequently, the process of query formulation by the user, interactively with the information available in te system, remains one of the principal problems in information retrieval today.. In an attempt to solve this problem by improving the interface communication between man and the computer, we have pursued the objective of displaying hierarchically structured index trees on a CRT in a decision tree format permitting the user merely to point (with a light pen) at alternatives which seem most appropriate to him.. Using his passive rather than his active vocabulary expands his interaction vocabulary by at least an order of magnitude.. Moreover, a hierarchically displayed index is a modified thesaurus, and may be augmented by adding lateral links to provide semantic assistance to the user.. A hierarchical structure was chosen because it seems to replicate the structure of cognitive thought processes most closely, thus allowing the simplest, most direct transfer of the man's problem into the structure and vocabulary of the system.. .X 61 1 606 66 1 606 74 1 606 75 1 606 124 1 606 127 1 606 129 1 606 161 1 606 190 1 606 191 1 606 197 3 606 211 1 606 214 1 606 218 2 606 243 1 606 274 1 606 307 1 606 320 1 606 330 1 606 332 2 606 343 1 606 375 1 606 378 1 606 417 1 606 445 1 606 450 1 606 451 2 606 452 1 606 454 1 606 458 2 606 459 2 606 460 1 606 468 1 606 472 1 606 484 2 606 492 1 606 503 1 606 506 1 606 507 1 606 508 2 606 511 1 606 512 1 606 514 2 606 518 1 606 520 1 606 523 3 606 524 1 606 525 1 606 526 4 606 528 1 606 529 1 606 530 1 606 534 2 606 546 6 606 547 1 606 553 1 606 554 1 606 579 4 606 584 1 606 591 2 606 593 2 606 594 6 606 595 1 606 596 1 606 597 1 606 599 1 606 600 1 606 603 2 606 604 2 606 606 12 606 609 2 606 610 2 606 611 2 606 612 3 606 619 1 606 625 1 606 626 4 606 630 1 606 636 1 606 637 3 606 641 1 606 642 2 606 648 1 606 650 1 606 692 1 606 696 1 606 699 1 606 703 1 606 705 1 606 708 1 606 723 1 606 724 1 606 726 1 606 727 1 606 728 1 606 731 1 606 732 1 606 733 2 606 734 1 606 736 1 606 738 1 606 739 1 606 740 1 606 741 1 606 742 1 606 743 1 606 744 1 606 754 1 606 755 1 606 801 1 606 805 1 606 806 1 606 814 1 606 820 1 606 826 3 606 827 1 606 830 1 606 836 1 606 866 1 606 867 1 606 879 1 606 883 1 606 956 1 606 989 1 606 1004 1 606 1035 3 606 1078 1 606 1089 1 606 1091 1 606 1207 1 606 1264 1 606 1297 1 606 1298 1 606 1299 1 606 1303 2 606 1327 1 606 1356 1 606 1364 1 606 1368 1 606 1370 1 606 1372 1 606 1373 1 606 1374 2 606 1375 1 606 1376 1 606 1377 2 606 1387 1 606 1405 1 606 1427 1 606 1427 1 606 .I 607 .T Improving a Field-based "Eric-Like" Information System .A Paisley, W. .W This is a period for rapid growth in information systems for the sciences and professions. Information centers are springing up across the country. Federal agencies and private groups are both collaborating and competing to establish comprehensive systems. Changing the library's name to "information center" is more than linguistic faddism. New, active roles subordinate the library's traditional, passive role as a preserver and codifier of knowledge. "Information center" bears analogy to "economic center" and "transportation center." Like these centers, its significance is in transaction. The significance of a transportation center lies in routes to other centers. The significance of an information center lies in communication lines to knowledge producers and knowledge users. Information centers are judged by their information "throughput," not by their "holdings." .X 91 1 607 105 1 607 111 1 607 113 1 607 161 1 607 163 1 607 218 1 607 243 2 607 253 1 607 345 1 607 356 1 607 375 3 607 406 1 607 408 1 607 456 1 607 492 1 607 497 1 607 506 1 607 507 1 607 508 1 607 510 1 607 545 1 607 548 1 607 560 1 607 592 1 607 594 1 607 601 1 607 602 1 607 604 1 607 607 5 607 725 1 607 803 1 607 866 1 607 867 1 607 1030 1 607 1042 1 607 1057 1 607 1087 1 607 1293 1 607 1296 1 607 1298 1 607 1327 1 607 1346 1 607 1347 1 607 1364 1 607 1364 1 607 .I 608 .T A new comparison Between Conventional Indexing (MEDLARS) and Automatic Text Processing (SMART) .A Salton, G. .W A new testing process is described designed to compare conventional retrieval (MEDLARS) and automatic text analysis methods (SMART).. The results obtained with a collection of documents chosen independently of either SMART or MEDLARS indicate that a simple automatic extraction of keywords from document abstracts produces a 30 to 40 percent loss compared with MEDLARS indexing.. A replacement of the unranked Boolean searches used in MEDLARS by the standard ranked output normally provided by SMART reduces the loss to between 15 and 20 percent.. When automatically generated word control list or a thesaurus is used as part of the SMART analysis, the results are comparable in effectiveness to those obtained by the intellectual MEDLARS indexing.. Finally, the incorporation of user feedback procedures into SMART furnishes an improvement over the normal MEDLARS output of 15 to 30 percent.. One concludes again that no technical justification exists for maintaining controlled, manual indexing in operational retrieval environments.. .X 38 1 608 51 1 608 57 1 608 69 1 608 71 1 608 72 1 608 75 2 608 77 1 608 79 2 608 86 1 608 90 1 608 149 1 608 168 2 608 175 3 608 176 2 608 231 1 608 261 1 608 295 1 608 299 1 608 315 1 608 317 1 608 329 1 608 332 1 608 334 1 608 354 1 608 361 1 608 382 5 608 389 1 608 390 1 608 417 1 608 443 1 608 448 1 608 480 1 608 483 1 608 484 1 608 486 1 608 488 1 608 491 1 608 493 1 608 503 1 608 507 1 608 509 1 608 510 1 608 512 1 608 514 1 608 517 1 608 520 2 608 522 1 608 527 1 608 528 1 608 531 1 608 546 1 608 554 1 608 565 3 608 566 1 608 570 1 608 572 2 608 576 1 608 581 1 608 583 1 608 586 3 608 591 1 608 595 1 608 596 2 608 603 2 608 608 11 608 610 2 608 617 1 608 619 1 608 620 1 608 633 1 608 636 1 608 643 1 608 659 2 608 715 1 608 754 1 608 762 1 608 790 1 608 805 1 608 809 1 608 810 2 608 812 2 608 813 2 608 814 2 608 815 1 608 817 1 608 820 1 608 824 1 608 825 2 608 870 1 608 894 3 608 902 1 608 928 1 608 938 1 608 939 1 608 956 1 608 961 1 608 963 1 608 966 1 608 986 1 608 990 1 608 991 2 608 992 1 608 997 1 608 1046 1 608 1051 1 608 1144 1 608 1216 1 608 1221 1 608 1255 1 608 1266 1 608 1294 3 608 1313 1 608 1318 1 608 1327 4 608 1365 1 608 1390 1 608 1395 1 608 1399 1 608 1413 1 608 1419 2 608 1421 1 608 1427 1 608 1445 1 608 1445 1 608 .I 609 .T Report on the Evaluation of an Experimental Computer-Based Current-Awareness Service for Chemists .A Barker, Frances H. .A Wyatt, Barry K. .A Veal, Douglas C. .W A selected sample of U.K. University, industrial and Government scientists were given a current-awareness service for 18 months, in order to investigate the practicability and problems of such a service.. Six hundred profiles were run, using the natural-language data bases Chemical Titles and Chemical-Biological Activities produced by Chemical Abstracts Service.. Precision and recall were measured, and correlations between profile performance and such factors as subject area and profile logic were investigated statistically.. Precision and recall failures were analyzed and various improvements to the system were suggested as a consequence.. It was concluded that a viable computerized current-awareness service based on searching natural language could be created.. .X 18 1 609 29 1 609 58 1 609 75 1 609 91 1 609 124 1 609 125 1 609 127 1 609 129 1 609 145 1 609 164 2 609 165 1 609 190 1 609 191 1 609 197 1 609 211 2 609 214 1 609 218 1 609 224 1 609 243 1 609 307 1 609 330 1 609 378 2 609 421 1 609 439 1 609 440 2 609 445 1 609 450 1 609 451 3 609 452 3 609 453 1 609 459 1 609 460 1 609 467 3 609 468 2 609 484 1 609 490 1 609 491 1 609 492 1 609 495 1 609 506 2 609 508 2 609 511 2 609 512 2 609 514 3 609 517 1 609 518 1 609 520 2 609 521 1 609 523 2 609 524 2 609 525 1 609 526 3 609 528 1 609 529 1 609 530 1 609 534 1 609 546 2 609 553 1 609 576 1 609 579 1 609 580 2 609 590 1 609 594 1 609 603 1 609 604 2 609 606 2 609 609 10 609 610 1 609 611 1 609 612 3 609 619 1 609 622 1 609 623 1 609 625 1 609 626 1 609 629 1 609 630 1 609 631 1 609 632 1 609 633 1 609 636 2 609 637 2 609 641 1 609 642 2 609 648 1 609 650 1 609 656 1 609 689 1 609 692 1 609 696 2 609 699 2 609 700 1 609 703 1 609 705 2 609 707 1 609 708 1 609 723 1 609 726 3 609 727 3 609 728 2 609 729 1 609 730 1 609 731 2 609 732 1 609 733 2 609 734 1 609 736 1 609 738 1 609 739 1 609 740 1 609 741 1 609 742 1 609 743 1 609 744 1 609 754 1 609 755 1 609 762 1 609 809 1 609 812 1 609 813 3 609 814 3 609 820 2 609 822 1 609 826 1 609 827 1 609 866 1 609 870 2 609 873 1 609 879 1 609 883 1 609 901 1 609 1004 1 609 1035 1 609 1077 1 609 1078 2 609 1089 2 609 1091 2 609 1143 1 609 1207 1 609 1231 1 609 1264 2 609 1294 1 609 1297 1 609 1298 2 609 1302 1 609 1303 2 609 1356 1 609 1364 1 609 1366 1 609 1367 1 609 1368 2 609 1370 1 609 1372 1 609 1373 1 609 1374 1 609 1375 1 609 1376 1 609 1377 2 609 1396 3 609 1396 3 609 .I 610 .T The Development of a Semantic Differential to Assess Users' Attitudes Towards An On-line Interactive Reference Retrieval System .A Katzer, Jeffrey .W A semantic differential (SD) is a commonly used instrument which can be used to reliably measure attitude toward a variety of objects or concepts.. Each SD consists of a series of bipolar adjective scales on which a respondent reacts, in relation to the object or concept of interest.. To interpret completed SDs, it simplifies the procedures and aids in the development of theory if the adjective scales are grouped into one or more independent clusters.. The primary purpose of this study was to identify those clusters (or dimensions) applied by a user of an on-line user-oriented reference retrieval system when he reacts toward such a system.. Seventy-one who used or were familiar with a working on-line reference retrieval system completed a packet of 20 SDs, each consisting of the same 19 adjective scales.. The correlations among the scales were factor analyzed.. Three independent dimensions were identified.. Factor I was labeled "evaluative-specific" and accounted for over 23% of the total variance.. Factor II was called "desirability"; it accounted for over 17% of the total variance.. And, Factor III, entitled "enormity" accounted for over 10% of the total variance.. Another analysis showed the factor structure to be highly reliable.. Therefore, if the derived three dimensional structure underlies users' attitudes toward a more general class of retrieval systems, then undimensional or unstructured system evaluation of users' attitudes will be simplistic and possibly misleading.. In order to construct a working semantic differential, 10 adjective scales were identified which best represented the three dimensions.. Brief instructions are included which outline how to use this SD.. The discussion is mainly concerned with the obtained factor structure and the need for a predicative replication of the study.. .X 90 1 610 124 3 610 125 1 610 127 1 610 129 1 610 165 1 610 190 1 610 191 1 610 197 1 610 211 1 610 214 1 610 218 1 610 231 1 610 243 1 610 261 1 610 295 1 610 299 1 610 307 1 610 330 1 610 334 1 610 343 1 610 354 1 610 378 1 610 381 1 610 417 1 610 448 1 610 450 1 610 451 1 610 452 2 610 459 1 610 468 1 610 484 2 610 492 1 610 508 1 610 511 2 610 512 1 610 514 2 610 516 1 610 518 2 610 520 1 610 521 1 610 522 1 610 523 2 610 524 1 610 525 1 610 526 2 610 527 1 610 528 1 610 529 2 610 530 1 610 534 1 610 546 2 610 553 1 610 575 1 610 579 1 610 586 1 610 591 1 610 594 1 610 597 1 610 603 2 610 604 1 610 606 2 610 608 2 610 609 1 610 610 9 610 611 2 610 612 3 610 615 1 610 617 1 610 620 1 610 625 2 610 626 3 610 630 1 610 636 2 610 637 1 610 642 1 610 648 1 610 650 1 610 692 1 610 696 1 610 699 1 610 700 1 610 703 1 610 705 2 610 707 1 610 708 1 610 726 1 610 727 2 610 728 1 610 731 1 610 732 1 610 733 1 610 734 1 610 736 1 610 738 1 610 739 1 610 740 1 610 741 1 610 742 1 610 743 1 610 744 1 610 754 1 610 755 1 610 812 1 610 815 1 610 817 1 610 820 1 610 824 1 610 826 1 610 827 1 610 875 1 610 879 1 610 883 1 610 938 1 610 939 1 610 986 1 610 991 1 610 992 1 610 1004 1 610 1035 1 610 1047 1 610 1078 1 610 1089 1 610 1091 1 610 1207 1 610 1221 1 610 1264 1 610 1297 1 610 1303 3 610 1318 1 610 1327 1 610 1356 1 610 1364 2 610 1365 1 610 1366 1 610 1367 1 610 1368 2 610 1370 1 610 1372 1 610 1373 1 610 1374 1 610 1375 1 610 1376 1 610 1377 1 610 1387 1 610 1390 1 610 1390 1 610 .I 611 .T What Information Dissemination Studies Imply Concerning the Design of On-Line Reference Retrieval Systems* .A Back, Harry B. .W The use of an on-line computer system for locating bibliographic citations has been hailed as an important innovation for coping with the "information explosion.." However, on-line reference retrieval is only one element in a large social system of information dissemination.. To have a widespread impact, an on-line system must compete successfully with a multitude of other sources of references.. This paper reviews studies of information dissemination as a basis for determining how on-line retrieval can best compete. It recommends the functional groups for whom an on-line system should be designed and the forms of written media that should be included in the system's initial data base.. Finally, it presents criteria the system should satisfy to be as widely used and as comprehensive as other reference retrieval methods.. .X 124 2 611 125 1 611 127 1 611 129 1 611 190 1 611 191 1 611 197 1 611 211 1 611 214 1 611 218 1 611 243 1 611 307 2 611 330 1 611 343 1 611 357 1 611 378 1 611 417 1 611 450 1 611 451 1 611 452 1 611 459 2 611 468 1 611 484 1 611 492 1 611 508 1 611 511 1 611 512 1 611 514 3 611 518 1 611 520 1 611 523 1 611 524 1 611 525 1 611 526 1 611 529 1 611 530 1 611 532 1 611 533 1 611 534 1 611 546 2 611 553 1 611 579 1 611 594 2 611 603 1 611 604 2 611 606 2 611 609 1 611 610 2 611 611 5 611 612 3 611 625 1 611 626 2 611 630 1 611 636 1 611 637 1 611 642 1 611 648 1 611 650 1 611 692 1 611 696 1 611 699 1 611 703 1 611 705 1 611 708 1 611 726 1 611 727 1 611 728 2 611 731 1 611 732 1 611 733 2 611 734 1 611 736 1 611 738 1 611 739 1 611 740 2 611 741 1 611 742 1 611 743 2 611 744 1 611 755 1 611 820 1 611 826 1 611 827 1 611 879 2 611 883 1 611 1004 1 611 1035 1 611 1078 1 611 1089 1 611 1091 1 611 1207 1 611 1264 1 611 1297 1 611 1303 2 611 1356 1 611 1364 1 611 1368 1 611 1370 1 611 1372 1 611 1373 1 611 1374 2 611 1375 1 611 1376 2 611 1377 1 611 1387 1 611 1396 1 611 1396 1 611 .I 612 .T Interactive Search of Bibliographic Data Bases in an Academic Environment .A Borman, Lorraine .A Mittman, Benjamin .W A surprising difference is found in the acceptance of on-line bibliographic search between university research workers and students in the classroom.. The typical research worker, even after careful preparation and individual help, abandons the on-line system in favor of more traditional searching techniques.. The student and the seminar participant, on the other hand, take to this new tool with enthusiasm and profit..

As previously shown, one-third of the 5,860 papers from the National Heart Institute grantees for 1967 appeared within 13 journals (3).. After the exclusion of the abstract journals, the remaining journals were used to obtain a basic pool of 300 cardiovascular related articles.. Science Citation Index was used to gather statistics relative to citing author, journal and year.. The 300 articles in the basic pool were cited a total of 2,545 times during this four-year period (1967-1970).. The figures concerning citation rate by year serve to uphold the idea that journal citation reaches a peak during the third year after publication.. Also some definite patterns of self-citation were noted.. It was found that, when analyzed on the basis of first author, 15 percent of the 2,545 citations were self-citations.. The ten basic journals tend to be cited mostly within themselves; one-third of the citations were found in these journals.. Although the citations were found throughout 349 journals, indicating an extensive scatter, a relatively high percentage of papers were found in few journals.. .X 33 2 613 36 2 613 41 1 613 89 1 613 90 1 613 91 1 613 97 1 613 102 1 613 111 1 613 112 1 613 161 1 613 163 1 613 183 2 613 184 2 613 193 2 613 199 2 613 201 1 613 202 1 613 203 2 613 204 1 613 205 1 613 209 1 613 210 1 613 212 1 613 217 1 613 220 1 613 222 1 613 225 1 613 269 1 613 284 1 613 286 1 613 294 1 613 373 1 613 377 1 613 429 1 613 513 1 613 543 1 613 545 1 613 552 1 613 582 1 613 587 1 613 588 3 613 589 1 613 603 1 613 605 2 613 613 6 613 614 2 613 618 1 613 624 1 613 638 1 613 657 1 613 685 1 613 686 1 613 691 1 613 721 1 613 722 1 613 724 1 613 725 1 613 735 1 613 747 1 613 750 1 613 753 1 613 766 1 613 767 1 613 770 1 613 775 1 613 776 1 613 782 1 613 784 1 613 788 1 613 789 1 613 793 1 613 799 1 613 800 2 613 808 2 613 905 1 613 953 1 613 958 1 613 959 1 613 977 1 613 983 1 613 987 1 613 988 1 613 1016 1 613 1023 1 613 1030 1 613 1055 1 613 1087 2 613 1090 1 613 1135 1 613 1151 1 613 1208 1 613 1260 1 613 1275 1 613 1276 1 613 1278 1 613 1280 1 613 1285 1 613 1286 1 613 1287 1 613 1293 1 613 1302 3 613 1335 1 613 1390 1 613 1397 1 613 1417 1 613 1428 1 613 1432 1 613 1432 1 613 .I 614 .T The Use Patterns of Physics Journals in a Large Academic Research Library .A Chen, Ching-Chih .W The purpose of this investigation was to reveal the use of patterns of the physics journals in the M.I.T. Science Library.. The findings are based upon an analysis of actual use data recorded from all volumes and issues left by library users on study tables and on trucks in the photocopy area from March 15 to June 31, 1971.. The Science Library contains some 220 physics journals.. The study reveals that only 138 journals (62.7%) were used even once during the 3 1/2-month interval.. A core of 49 journals supplies 90% of use, and these items would cost 51.1% of the total single subscription costs of the 138 used titles: 52.3% of use occurs in journal volumes less than 6 years old.. English is the most used language of physics journals and the English journals account for 95.3% of use.. American journals, 57.2% of which are published by the American Institute of Physics, supply 59.4% of the total use.. .X 33 3 614 36 1 614 37 1 614 41 1 614 48 1 614 55 1 614 89 1 614 91 1 614 97 1 614 102 1 614 111 1 614 112 1 614 147 1 614 161 1 614 163 1 614 167 1 614 183 1 614 184 1 614 193 2 614 195 1 614 196 1 614 198 1 614 199 1 614 201 1 614 203 1 614 205 1 614 210 2 614 219 2 614 225 2 614 267 1 614 269 1 614 300 1 614 373 1 614 429 1 614 439 1 614 513 1 614 528 1 614 543 1 614 545 1 614 552 1 614 560 1 614 582 1 614 587 1 614 588 1 614 589 1 614 603 1 614 605 1 614 613 2 614 614 15 614 618 1 614 624 1 614 635 1 614 638 8 614 651 1 614 657 1 614 685 1 614 686 1 614 691 1 614 721 1 614 722 1 614 724 1 614 725 1 614 735 2 614 747 1 614 748 3 614 750 1 614 751 1 614 753 2 614 756 1 614 757 1 614 764 1 614 765 1 614 766 1 614 767 1 614 775 1 614 778 1 614 782 1 614 784 1 614 786 1 614 787 1 614 788 1 614 789 1 614 791 1 614 792 1 614 793 4 614 800 2 614 808 2 614 811 1 614 818 1 614 821 2 614 831 1 614 889 1 614 905 2 614 925 2 614 948 1 614 952 2 614 953 2 614 958 1 614 977 2 614 983 2 614 987 1 614 988 1 614 1016 1 614 1019 1 614 1023 1 614 1030 1 614 1055 1 614 1083 1 614 1086 1 614 1087 1 614 1090 3 614 1135 1 614 1208 1 614 1210 2 614 1254 1 614 1256 1 614 1260 3 614 1275 4 614 1276 2 614 1278 2 614 1280 1 614 1285 1 614 1286 1 614 1287 1 614 1293 1 614 1302 6 614 1335 1 614 1352 1 614 1355 2 614 1369 4 614 1373 1 614 1390 1 614 1397 2 614 1404 1 614 1417 1 614 1418 1 614 1428 1 614 1432 1 614 1432 1 614 .I 615 .T A Cost Model for Evaluating Information Retrieval Systems .A Cooper, Michael D. .W This paper develops a mathematical model for use in studying how to minimize the cost of operating a mechanized retrieval system.. Through the use of cost analysis, the model provides a method for comparative evaluation between information retrieval systems.. The cost model divides the costs of a retrieval system into two components: system costs and user costs.. In addition, it suggests that a trade off exists between the performance level of the system and the combination of user and systems time that is expended in working with the system.. This minimizes the total cost of operating the system.. The allocation is done for a given performance level and for a given cost per unit of user and system time.. .X 5 1 615 28 1 615 90 1 615 91 1 615 124 1 615 125 1 615 157 1 615 158 1 615 165 1 615 172 1 615 175 1 615 191 1 615 194 1 615 212 1 615 222 1 615 223 1 615 224 1 615 274 1 615 298 1 615 368 1 615 381 3 615 389 1 615 417 1 615 435 1 615 446 1 615 448 1 615 452 1 615 456 1 615 458 2 615 468 1 615 484 1 615 485 1 615 511 1 615 514 2 615 516 1 615 518 2 615 521 1 615 522 1 615 523 1 615 526 1 615 527 1 615 528 1 615 529 1 615 554 1 615 572 1 615 575 2 615 577 1 615 579 2 615 591 1 615 595 2 615 599 1 615 603 1 615 610 1 615 615 5 615 619 1 615 620 1 615 621 1 615 625 2 615 626 1 615 630 1 615 636 1 615 640 1 615 646 1 615 700 1 615 705 1 615 707 1 615 727 1 615 752 2 615 754 1 615 780 1 615 785 1 615 812 1 615 815 1 615 817 1 615 820 1 615 822 2 615 824 1 615 827 1 615 829 1 615 875 1 615 895 1 615 902 1 615 907 1 615 957 1 615 1023 1 615 1033 1 615 1084 1 615 1091 1 615 1219 1 615 1227 1 615 1279 1 615 1282 1 615 1303 1 615 1327 1 615 1364 1 615 1365 1 615 1366 1 615 1367 1 615 1368 1 615 1387 1 615 1390 1 615 1390 1 615 .I 616 .T A Bibliometric Analysis of Certain Information Science Literature .A Donohue, Joseph C. .W Several bibliometric techniques previously applied to separate scientific literatures were used together in the analysis of a single corpus of journal articles relating to information science.. Techniques included are (a) Bradford analysis, (b) epidemic analysis, (c) identification of research front, and (d) bibliographic coupling.. Similar analysis was made of writings cited by the main corpus articles, and of the literature which in turn cites the main corpus.. Results were analyzed in terms of structure and processes observable in patterns of authorship, publication, and citation.. Their significance is discussed with potential application of the method to the solution of problems in the management of large research libraries.. .X 33 1 616 39 1 616 50 1 616 126 1 616 198 2 616 326 1 616 359 1 616 361 1 616 379 1 616 446 1 616 449 1 616 462 1 616 473 1 616 485 1 616 503 1 616 505 1 616 515 1 616 525 1 616 526 1 616 533 1 616 545 1 616 572 1 616 573 1 616 574 1 616 588 1 616 616 8 616 632 2 616 635 1 616 640 1 616 685 1 616 735 1 616 748 1 616 751 1 616 759 1 616 765 1 616 773 1 616 775 1 616 778 1 616 789 1 616 821 1 616 823 1 616 958 1 616 1016 1 616 1083 1 616 1085 1 616 1090 1 616 1111 1 616 1114 1 616 1182 1 616 1207 1 616 1242 1 616 1250 1 616 1275 2 616 1283 1 616 1290 1 616 1302 2 616 1305 1 616 1306 1 616 1313 1 616 1355 2 616 1403 1 616 1426 1 616 1428 1 616 1428 1 616 .I 617 .T On-Line Serials Control System in a Large Biomedical Library; 1) Description of the System .A Fayollat, James .W An on-line serials control system with particular emphasis on storage and maintenance concepts is described..

The data source was the Journal Citation Index (JCI), a file derived from the Science Citation Index.. The JCI consists of a journal by journal tabulation of citings to and from each journal in the index.. A large amount of consistency was found between the citing characteristics of the journals in the different scientific fields, with quite clear boundaries between fields and a few well known cross disciplinary journals as cross field information links.. The separate disciplines appear to relate to each other in an orderly manner, with a natural sequence: mathematics --> physics --> chemistry --> biochemistry --> biology.. Within disciplines the journals form fully transitive hierarchies with very few relational conflicts.. .X 19 1 618 37 2 618 39 2 618 40 2 618 47 1 618 88 1 618 91 1 618 97 4 618 102 1 618 103 1 618 155 1 618 161 1 618 233 1 618 253 2 618 313 1 618 359 2 618 377 1 618 378 2 618 379 2 618 395 1 618 429 1 618 439 1 618 505 1 618 513 1 618 515 1 618 560 2 618 573 1 618 582 1 618 588 1 618 589 1 618 602 1 618 603 1 618 613 1 618 614 1 618 618 13 618 622 1 618 632 3 618 635 7 618 642 1 618 657 1 618 667 1 618 685 1 618 686 1 618 691 1 618 721 1 618 722 1 618 724 1 618 725 1 618 744 2 618 748 2 618 749 1 618 751 1 618 764 1 618 765 1 618 777 2 618 778 1 618 782 1 618 787 1 618 804 1 618 805 1 618 893 1 618 952 1 618 958 1 618 987 1 618 988 1 618 1010 1 618 1016 2 618 1030 1 618 1044 1 618 1061 1 618 1082 1 618 1085 2 618 1086 1 618 1087 2 618 1098 1 618 1102 1 618 1182 1 618 1200 1 618 1208 1 618 1210 1 618 1274 1 618 1275 4 618 1277 1 618 1278 1 618 1280 1 618 1287 1 618 1293 1 618 1300 1 618 1301 2 618 1302 9 618 1304 1 618 1313 1 618 1338 1 618 1344 1 618 1347 1 618 1377 1 618 1380 3 618 1428 1 618 1444 2 618 1444 2 618 .I 619 .T Managing An Uncontrolled Vocabulary Ex Post Facto .A Lefever, Maureen Freedman, Barbara Schultz, Louise .W Initiated as an experiment, supported by the Division of Medicinal Chemistry of Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, the operational retrospective retrieval service offered by BIOSIS, now in its eighth year, exploits a file created essentially without vocabulary control..

Williams, James Rathswohl, Eugene .W A taxonomy for modeling information systems is presented.. The taxonomy derives from the history of modern epistemology.. Epistemology is used as a prescriptive modeling basis because (1) the fundamental problems of epistemology are concerned with information, and (2), because the history of epistemology identifies any archetypal ways that men have conceived of information and of models.. It is shown how the different models of epistemology can be made scientifically operational through the use of a special kind of systems analysis.. Finally, the results of a preliminary experiment based on one of the models are presented in the form of prescriptive rules for the design of future experiments.. .X 117 1 621 120 1 621 128 1 621 135 1 621 165 3 621 175 1 621 224 1 621 244 1 621 245 1 621 291 1 621 298 1 621 350 1 621 381 1 621 445 1 621 456 1 621 458 1 621 459 1 621 476 1 621 514 1 621 525 2 621 530 1 621 554 1 621 575 2 621 579 1 621 590 1 621 591 1 621 595 1 621 599 2 621 603 1 621 615 1 621 619 1 621 620 1 621 621 6 621 625 1 621 630 2 621 641 2 621 668 1 621 670 1 621 671 1 621 674 1 621 683 1 621 689 1 621 692 1 621 715 1 621 752 1 621 780 1 621 797 1 621 819 1 621 822 1 621 898 1 621 907 1 621 925 1 621 1077 2 621 1231 3 621 1402 1 621 1402 1 621 .I 622 .T Overlap Among the Journal Articles Selected for Coverage by BIOSIS, CAS, and Ei .A Wood, James L.

The study described the population of users and the kinds of sources they utilized in an information search, in an effort to identify the factors influencing their choice of kinds of sources and leading to the possibility of predicting use of kinds of source once the characteristics of the users were known.. It brought out a high use of sources which are accessible and easy to use.. The tabulations show the importance of co-workers in informal communication.. Low delegation of documentation tasks to libraries was apparent.. The main user of the library studied was a clinician in the area of internal medicine who used journal articles about diseases for information to use in the treatment of his patients.. The recommendations were made that journals should be shelved accessibly, with Index Medicus nearby.. Books might be shelved less accessibly.. Telephone access to the library is of major importance as is the provision of adequate photocopying facilities.. .X 33 1 624 36 1 624 90 1 624 95 1 624 161 3 624 183 1 624 184 1 624 193 1 624 199 1 624 201 1 624 202 1 624 203 1 624 204 1 624 205 1 624 209 1 624 212 1 624 217 1 624 220 1 624 222 1 624 284 1 624 286 1 624 294 1 624 295 1 624 300 2 624 358 1 624 433 1 624 439 1 624 528 1 624 543 1 624 588 1 624 613 1 624 614 1 624 624 6 624 631 1 624 772 1 624 799 1 624 800 1 624 808 1 624 818 1 624 937 1 624 946 1 624 959 1 624 1151 1 624 1353 1 624 1361 1 624 1373 1 624 1373 1 624 .I 625 .T On Selecting a Measure of Retrieval Effectiveness .A Cooper, William S. .W It is argued that a user's subjective evaluation of the personal utility of a retrieval system's output to him, if it could be properly quantified, would be a near-ideal measure of retrieval effectiveness.. A hypothetical methodology is presented for measuring this utility by means of an elicitation procedure.. Because the hypothetical methodology is impractical, compromise methods are outlined and their underlying simplifying assumptions are discussed.. The more plausible the simplifying assumptions on which a performance measure is based, the better the measure..

For this reason, there are few rules and conventions for updating a thesaurus.. Consequently, most of the thesauri adopted by operating information storage and retrieval systems are not systematically updated.. In order to investigate how thesauri are actually updated, a survey was conducted.. The working hypothesis was that the communication process between authors and readers is linear in nature ("one-way" communication allowing no reciprocal feedback) if a thesaurus utilized in a system is not updated by both indexers and question negotiators.. Findings show that thesauri viewed from the communications point of view do not allow a cybernetic process of communication ("both-way" communication).. The survey indicated that the present practice of updating thesauri is largely done by indexers alone.. No attempt was made to develop a theory of thesaurus construction and updating.. It was, however, argued that such a theory, if developed, should at least account for the concepts of meaning and knowledge.. Within this theoretical framework, two techniques are suggested to be considered for the systematic updating of a thesaurus.. .X 114 2 627 141 1 627 154 1 627 169 1 627 194 1 627 212 1 627 289 1 627 299 2 627 333 2 627 345 1 627 400 1 627 458 1 627 459 1 627 493 1 627 522 1 627 530 1 627 548 1 627 627 5 627 628 2 627 770 1 627 796 1 627 802 1 627 873 1 627 874 2 627 875 2 627 876 1 627 892 2 627 941 2 627 990 1 627 994 1 627 995 2 627 996 1 627 997 1 627 998 1 627 1073 1 627 1079 2 627 1153 1 627 1189 1 627 1251 1 627 1351 2 627 1368 1 627 1392 2 627 1396 1 627 1414 1 627 1420 2 627 1431 1 627 1434 2 627 1435 2 627 1442 2 627 1448 2 627 1448 2 627 .I 628 .T The Environment of Classification: The Concept of Mutual Exclusivity .A Jones, Kevin P. .W It has been suggested that information science is still of the stage of alchemy: if this is so then mutual exclusivity must form its philosopher's stone.. Mutual exclusivity appears to be alien to the observable universe: that this is so is displayed through a series of examples.. Some of these relate to everyday things like trees, beaches and man himself, whilst others relate to more obscure phenomena like continental drift and black holes.. The act of observation is also considered as this has a considerable bearing on the problem.. Nevertheless, mutual exclusivity must form part of man's mental powers and this has found expression in the relatively exclusive series of symbols used in communication.. The dangers of exclusive thinking in relation to environmental problems are considered, and this results in a paradox which is probably unresolvable.. Finally, it is observed that out-standing genius appears to pay scant regard to existing classifications and is more likely to be involved in an integrated approach to problems.. .X 72 1 628 141 1 628 160 1 628 299 2 628 333 3 628 449 1 628 522 1 628 530 2 628 553 1 628 558 2 628 572 1 628 627 2 628 628 5 628 795 1 628 802 1 628 819 1 628 873 1 628 874 3 628 875 2 628 876 1 628 877 1 628 878 1 628 892 2 628 940 1 628 941 3 628 992 1 628 993 1 628 994 1 628 995 3 628 996 1 628 997 1 628 998 1 628 1046 1 628 1079 3 628 1153 1 628 1189 1 628 1202 1 628 1216 1 628 1218 1 628 1251 1 628 1351 2 628 1396 1 628 1399 1 628 1420 2 628 1421 1 628 1434 3 628 1435 3 628 1436 1 628 1442 2 628 1442 2 628 .I 629 .T Promotion of Information Services: An Evaluation of Alternative Approaches .A Stern, Louis W. .A Craig, C.

This philosophy is in contrast to a prevalent philosophy of the '60's in which many information systems designers touted the computer as the answer to all information storage and retrieval situations.. Important principles of information system design incorporated within the framework of the novel philosophy for the '70's are presented.. These are: the performance of users' needs studies by the representative small group technique; the analysis of users' needs including their rank ordering by priority; the selection and adaptation for a specific application of a suitable existent information storage and retrieval system from those available; the involvement of potential users in the system design by establishing a model with which they can interact and provide feedback; and the final design of a cost-effective system.. A number of pitfalls arising from earlier design methodologies are pointed out, and the avoidance of these pitfalls by adopting a true systems approach is discussed.. .X 120 1 630 124 1 630 127 1 630 128 1 630 129 1 630 135 1 630 141 1 630 175 1 630 190 1 630 191 1 630 197 1 630 211 1 630 214 1 630 218 1 630 224 1 630 243 1 630 244 2 630 245 1 630 291 1 630 298 1 630 299 1 630 307 1 630 330 1 630 365 1 630 378 1 630 381 1 630 450 1 630 451 1 630 452 1 630 456 1 630 458 1 630 459 2 630 468 2 630 484 1 630 492 1 630 508 1 630 511 1 630 512 1 630 514 2 630 518 2 630 520 1 630 523 2 630 524 1 630 525 1 630 526 1 630 529 2 630 530 1 630 534 1 630 546 1 630 553 1 630 554 1 630 575 2 630 579 2 630 591 1 630 594 1 630 595 1 630 599 2 630 603 2 630 604 1 630 606 1 630 609 1 630 610 1 630 611 1 630 612 1 630 615 1 630 619 1 630 620 1 630 621 2 630 625 3 630 626 1 630 630 5 630 634 1 630 636 1 630 637 1 630 642 1 630 648 1 630 650 1 630 692 2 630 696 1 630 699 1 630 703 1 630 705 1 630 708 1 630 726 1 630 727 1 630 728 1 630 731 1 630 732 1 630 733 1 630 734 1 630 736 1 630 738 1 630 739 1 630 740 1 630 741 1 630 742 1 630 743 1 630 744 1 630 752 1 630 755 1 630 780 1 630 820 1 630 822 2 630 826 1 630 827 1 630 854 1 630 871 1 630 872 1 630 873 1 630 874 1 630 875 1 630 876 1 630 877 1 630 878 1 630 879 2 630 880 1 630 883 1 630 892 1 630 907 1 630 925 1 630 940 1 630 941 1 630 990 1 630 994 1 630 997 1 630 998 1 630 1004 1 630 1035 1 630 1078 1 630 1079 1 630 1089 1 630 1091 1 630 1143 1 630 1207 1 630 1230 1 630 1257 1 630 1264 1 630 1297 1 630 1303 2 630 1356 1 630 1364 1 630 1368 1 630 1370 1 630 1372 1 630 1373 1 630 1374 1 630 1375 1 630 1376 1 630 1377 1 630 1396 1 630 1402 1 630 1435 1 630 1436 1 630 1436 1 630 .I 631 .T A General Statistical Model for Estimating Future Demand Levels of Data-Base Utilization Within an Information Retrieval Organization .A Ware, Glenn O. .W A statistical model for characterizing the growth patterns of data base utilization and for estimating future utilization levels of demand has been developed for information retrieval organizations..

The co-citation frequency of two scientific papers can be determined by comparing lists of citing documents in the Science Citation Index and counting identical entries.. Networks of co-cited papers can be generated for specific scientific specialties, and an example is drawn from the literature of particle physics.. Co-citation patterns are found to differ significantly from bibliographic coupling patterns, but to agree generally with patterns of direct citation.. Clusters of co-cited papers provide a new way to study the specialty structure of science.. They may provide a new approach to indexing and to the creation of SDI profiles.. .X 18 1 632 19 1 632 33 1 632 37 1 632 39 8 632 40 1 632 41 1 632 47 2 632 50 1 632 88 1 632 89 1 632 97 3 632 102 1 632 103 1 632 106 2 632 113 1 632 125 1 632 145 1 632 198 1 632 211 1 632 233 1 632 253 1 632 313 1 632 326 1 632 359 1 632 361 1 632 377 3 632 378 1 632 379 1 632 395 1 632 440 1 632 446 1 632 452 1 632 453 1 632 455 1 632 467 1 632 468 1 632 473 1 632 485 1 632 495 1 632 503 1 632 505 1 632 506 1 632 508 1 632 511 1 632 512 1 632 514 1 632 517 1 632 520 1 632 521 1 632 523 1 632 524 1 632 526 1 632 528 1 632 545 1 632 560 2 632 572 1 632 573 1 632 576 1 632 580 1 632 602 1 632 604 1 632 605 1 632 609 1 632 612 1 632 616 2 632 618 3 632 619 1 632 622 1 632 623 1 632 629 1 632 631 1 632 632 18 632 633 1 632 635 4 632 667 3 632 699 1 632 700 1 632 705 1 632 707 1 632 723 1 632 726 1 632 727 1 632 728 1 632 729 1 632 730 1 632 731 1 632 748 1 632 749 2 632 751 1 632 754 1 632 764 2 632 765 1 632 773 1 632 777 1 632 778 1 632 782 1 632 784 1 632 789 1 632 804 1 632 805 1 632 812 1 632 813 1 632 814 1 632 820 1 632 822 1 632 866 1 632 870 1 632 873 1 632 893 2 632 952 1 632 958 1 632 1010 1 632 1016 1 632 1044 1 632 1061 1 632 1078 1 632 1082 1 632 1085 1 632 1086 1 632 1087 1 632 1089 1 632 1091 1 632 1143 1 632 1182 1 632 1200 1 632 1207 1 632 1234 3 632 1264 1 632 1273 2 632 1274 6 632 1275 2 632 1277 2 632 1278 2 632 1280 2 632 1283 1 632 1285 3 632 1287 3 632 1300 1 632 1301 2 632 1302 7 632 1303 1 632 1304 2 632 1313 7 632 1337 1 632 1338 1 632 1341 1 632 1344 1 632 1346 1 632 1347 2 632 1366 1 632 1367 1 632 1368 1 632 1380 1 632 1387 1 632 1396 1 632 1426 1 632 1428 2 632 1444 6 632 1444 6 632 .I 633 .T Use of an Automatic Text Analyzer in Preparation of SDI Profiles .A Carroll, John M.

Implementation of the Philosophy .A Cooper, William S. .W It was argued in Part I (see JASIS, March-April 1973 p. 87) that the best way to evaluate a retrieval system is, in principle at least, to elicit subjective estimates of the system's utility to its users, quantified in terms of the numbers of utilities (e.g. dollars) they would have been willing to give up in exchange for the privilege of using the system; and a naive methodology was outlined for evaluating retrieval systems on this basis.. But the impracticality of the naive evaluation procedure as it stands raises the questions: How can one decide which practical measure is likely to yield results most closely resembling those of the naive methodology? And how can one tell whether the resemblance is close enough to make applying the measure worth while? In the present paper two kinds of solution to these problems are taken up.. The first answers the questions in terms of the reasonableness of the simplifying assumptions needed to get from the naive measure to the proposed substitute.. The second answers it by experimentation.. .X 9 1 634 57 1 634 73 1 634 120 1 634 123 1 634 131 1 634 167 1 634 197 1 634 207 1 634 222 1 634 223 1 634 274 1 634 296 1 634 297 1 634 298 1 634 300 1 634 301 1 634 302 1 634 358 1 634 359 1 634 364 1 634 382 1 634 390 1 634 445 1 634 449 1 634 468 1 634 506 1 634 515 1 634 518 2 634 523 1 634 531 1 634 535 1 634 577 1 634 625 7 634 629 1 634 630 1 634 631 1 634 634 9 634 643 1 634 644 1 634 649 1 634 652 1 634 660 1 634 696 1 634 705 1 634 736 1 634 748 1 634 752 1 634 754 1 634 756 1 634 780 1 634 785 1 634 791 2 634 795 1 634 804 1 634 810 1 634 811 1 634 812 2 634 814 1 634 816 1 634 818 1 634 823 1 634 826 1 634 829 1 634 830 1 634 843 1 634 844 1 634 846 1 634 895 1 634 915 1 634 961 1 634 962 1 634 964 1 634 994 1 634 1015 1 634 1019 1 634 1037 1 634 1242 1 634 1247 1 634 1268 1 634 1282 1 634 1327 1 634 1354 1 634 1354 1 634 .I 635 .T Clustering of Scientific Journals .A Carpenter, Mark P. Narin, Francis .W A cluster analysis procedure is described in which 188 journals in the discipline of physics, chemistry and molecular biology are grouped into clusters.. Most of the clusters are easily identified as subdisciplinary subject areas.. The data source was the cross citing amongst the journals derived from the Journal Citation Index (JCI), a file derived in turn from the Science Citation Index (SCI).. The JCI consists of journal by journal tabulation of citings to and from each journal processed in the SCI.. Two-step citation maps linking the clusters are presented for each discipline.. Within the disciplines the clusters of journals form fully transitive hierarchies with very few relational conflicts.. .X 18 1 635 19 1 635 33 1 635 37 1 635 39 2 635 40 1 635 47 1 635 48 1 635 88 1 635 97 4 635 102 1 635 103 1 635 127 1 635 145 1 635 167 1 635 198 1 635 233 1 635 253 1 635 313 1 635 357 1 635 359 2 635 361 1 635 376 1 635 377 1 635 378 2 635 379 1 635 395 1 635 439 1 635 459 1 635 505 1 635 515 1 635 524 1 635 525 1 635 527 1 635 529 1 635 530 1 635 534 1 635 545 1 635 560 1 635 573 1 635 614 1 635 616 1 635 618 7 635 632 4 635 633 1 635 635 11 635 636 1 635 637 1 635 638 1 635 642 2 635 667 1 635 702 1 635 703 1 635 730 1 635 732 1 635 733 1 635 734 1 635 736 1 635 744 2 635 748 3 635 749 1 635 751 1 635 753 1 635 756 1 635 757 1 635 764 1 635 765 1 635 777 1 635 778 1 635 782 1 635 787 2 635 789 1 635 792 1 635 804 1 635 805 1 635 821 1 635 826 1 635 827 1 635 831 1 635 877 1 635 879 1 635 893 1 635 952 2 635 953 1 635 1016 2 635 1061 1 635 1083 1 635 1085 2 635 1086 1 635 1087 1 635 1182 1 635 1200 1 635 1210 2 635 1254 1 635 1256 1 635 1260 1 635 1274 1 635 1275 4 635 1277 1 635 1278 2 635 1280 1 635 1287 1 635 1301 1 635 1302 9 635 1304 1 635 1313 1 635 1338 1 635 1344 1 635 1347 1 635 1369 1 635 1370 1 635 1372 1 635 1373 1 635 1377 1 635 1380 1 635 1383 1 635 1396 1 635 1418 1 635 1428 1 635 1444 1 635 1444 1 635 .I 636 .T Text Searching Retrieval of Answer-Sentences and Other Answer-Passages .A O'Connor, John .W Some new text searching retrieval techniques are described which retrieve not documents but sentences from documents and sometimes (on occasions determined by the computer) multi-sentence sequences.. Since the goal of the techniques is retrieval of answer-providing documents, "answer-passages" are retrieved.. An "answer-passage" is a passage which is either answer-providing or "answer-indicative," i.e., it permits inferring that the document containing it is answer-providing.. In most cases answer-sentences, i.e., single-sentence answer-passages, are retrieved.. This has great advantages for screening retrieval output.. Two new automatic procedures for measuring closeness of relation between clue words in a sentence are described.. One approximates syntactic closeness by counting the number of intervening "syntactic joints" (roughly speaking, prepositions, conjunctions and punctuation marks) between successive clue words.. The other measure uses word proximity in a new way.. The two measures perform about equally well.. The computer uses "enclosure" and "connector words" for determining when a multi-sentence passage should be retrieved.. However, no procedure was found in this study for retrieving multi-paragraph answer-passages, which were the only answer-passages occurring in 6% of the papers.. In a test of the techniques they failed to retrieve two answer-providing documents (7% of those to be retrieved) because of one multi-paragraph answer-passage and one complete failure of clue word selection.. For the other answer-providing documents they retrieved at all recall levels with greater precision than SMART, which has produced the best previously reported recall-precision results.. The retrieval questions (mostly from real users) and documents used in this study were from the field of information science.. The results of the study are surprisingly good for retrieval in such a "soft science," and it is reasonable to hope that in less "soft" sciences and technologies the techniques described will work even better.. On this basis a dissemination and retrieval system of the near future is predicted.. .X 18 1 636 75 1 636 86 1 636 124 2 636 125 1 636 127 2 636 129 1 636 145 1 636 165 1 636 175 1 636 190 1 636 191 1 636 197 1 636 211 1 636 214 1 636 218 1 636 243 1 636 307 1 636 330 1 636 357 1 636 376 1 636 378 1 636 381 1 636 382 1 636 389 1 636 390 1 636 448 1 636 450 1 636 451 1 636 452 2 636 459 2 636 468 1 636 484 2 636 492 1 636 508 1 636 511 2 636 512 1 636 514 3 636 516 1 636 518 2 636 520 2 636 521 1 636 522 1 636 523 2 636 524 2 636 525 2 636 526 2 636 527 2 636 528 1 636 529 3 636 530 2 636 534 2 636 546 1 636 553 1 636 570 1 636 575 1 636 576 1 636 579 1 636 586 1 636 594 1 636 603 1 636 604 1 636 606 1 636 608 1 636 609 2 636 610 2 636 611 1 636 612 1 636 615 1 636 625 2 636 626 2 636 630 1 636 633 1 636 635 1 636 636 6 636 637 2 636 642 2 636 643 1 636 648 1 636 650 1 636 659 1 636 692 1 636 696 1 636 699 1 636 700 1 636 702 1 636 703 2 636 705 2 636 707 1 636 708 1 636 726 2 636 727 2 636 728 1 636 730 1 636 731 1 636 732 2 636 733 2 636 734 2 636 736 2 636 738 1 636 739 1 636 740 1 636 741 1 636 742 1 636 743 1 636 744 1 636 754 1 636 755 1 636 812 1 636 817 1 636 820 2 636 824 1 636 826 2 636 827 2 636 875 1 636 877 1 636 879 2 636 883 1 636 894 1 636 1004 1 636 1035 1 636 1078 1 636 1089 1 636 1091 1 636 1207 1 636 1264 1 636 1294 1 636 1297 1 636 1303 2 636 1313 1 636 1327 2 636 1356 1 636 1364 2 636 1366 1 636 1367 1 636 1368 2 636 1370 2 636 1372 2 636 1373 1 636 1374 1 636 1375 1 636 1376 1 636 1377 1 636 1383 1 636 1396 1 636 1419 1 636 1419 1 636 .I 637 .T Breaking the Communication barrier Between Searcher and Literature File: An Interactive Guide .A Schultz, Louise .W The challenges of design of programming systems, file organization and manipulation, and user-oriented query languages have held the spotlight in the development of data processing support to systems for retrieval of scientific literature..

Other units of size for obtaining densities, and their measurement are discussed.. There is no evidence for synchronous obsolescence in the 1955 to 1968 volumes of these journals: instead there is some statistically significant evidence of greater density of use with greater age.. Similar evidence elsewhere is cited.. The ranking order for heaviness of use is also radically altered by converting raw frequencies to densities of use.. It is suggested that, for comparing the relative values of different journals, or age groups, in library use or citation studies, analyses of raw frequencies are valueless, and indeed potentially dangerously misleading, until they are converted to allow for the numbers of available items in each group examined.. .X 33 3 638 36 1 638 37 1 638 41 1 638 48 1 638 89 1 638 97 1 638 102 1 638 111 1 638 112 1 638 163 1 638 167 1 638 183 1 638 184 1 638 193 2 638 195 1 638 196 1 638 198 1 638 199 1 638 201 1 638 203 1 638 205 1 638 207 2 638 210 1 638 219 1 638 225 2 638 234 1 638 267 1 638 269 1 638 373 1 638 543 1 638 545 1 638 552 1 638 587 1 638 605 1 638 613 1 638 614 8 638 635 1 638 638 14 638 651 1 638 735 2 638 747 1 638 748 2 638 750 1 638 751 1 638 753 3 638 756 2 638 757 1 638 764 4 638 765 1 638 766 1 638 767 1 638 775 1 638 778 1 638 782 1 638 784 1 638 786 1 638 787 1 638 788 1 638 789 1 638 791 1 638 792 1 638 793 2 638 800 2 638 808 2 638 811 2 638 816 1 638 821 2 638 831 1 638 905 2 638 925 2 638 948 1 638 952 2 638 953 2 638 977 2 638 983 2 638 1016 1 638 1019 1 638 1023 1 638 1030 1 638 1055 1 638 1083 1 638 1087 1 638 1090 1 638 1135 1 638 1210 2 638 1254 1 638 1256 1 638 1260 3 638 1275 4 638 1276 2 638 1278 2 638 1280 1 638 1285 1 638 1286 1 638 1287 1 638 1302 6 638 1308 1 638 1335 1 638 1352 1 638 1355 2 638 1369 4 638 1373 1 638 1390 1 638 1397 2 638 1417 1 638 1418 1 638 1428 1 638 1432 1 638 1432 1 638 .I 639 .T Costs and Effectiveness in the Evolution of an Information System: A Case Study .A Standera, Oldrich R. .W With budget constraints, the problems of cost and effectiveness have advanced to the top of priority list of all information services managers..

A central theme of every conference that I have attended related to: "What is information science?" Or "Is information science a science?" In this paper I hope to take these questions head on.. I must begin by saying that I do take information science seriously as a science.. I see it as the quest for understanding of the nature of information and man's interaction with it.. That we lack so much in this quest for understanding is the greatest challenge of the science.. I intend to explore the tradition, or world view, bearing on the scientific study of information.. The currently prevalent world view is the scientific tradition which extends from the Enlightenment to the present.. I also intend to look critically at what I perceive to be te premises underlying most of our current efforts to understand the phenomenon of information.. The criticism will by necessity be speculative.. I intend to stick my neck out, not because I can prove my assertions, but because I believe these ideas must be discussed.. .X 20 1 640 42 1 640 60 2 640 85 1 640 126 1 640 129 1 640 172 2 640 191 1 640 194 1 640 212 1 640 274 1 640 417 1 640 446 1 640 449 1 640 458 1 640 469 1 640 485 1 640 525 1 640 526 1 640 533 1 640 572 1 640 574 2 640 577 1 640 579 1 640 585 1 640 599 1 640 615 1 640 616 1 640 640 5 640 652 1 640 665 1 640 762 1 640 803 1 640 823 1 640 902 1 640 1022 1 640 1033 1 640 1045 1 640 1084 1 640 1268 1 640 1279 1 640 1305 1 640 1306 1 640 1313 1 640 1387 1 640 1387 1 640 .I 641 .T Representation of Concept Relations Using the TOSAR System of the IDC: Treatise III on Information Retrieval Theory .A Fugmann, Robert Nickelsen, Herbert Nickelsen, Ingeborg Winter, Jakob H. .W Successful information retrieval from a mechanized file is heavily dependent on the fidelity of the representation of concepts in the particular language of the system and on the predictability of this representation.. If an index language is employed, predictability is guaranteed and the quality of the retrieval is predominantly governed by the fidelity of the representation, i.e., by the extent to which conceptual distortion of the concepts to be represented can be avoided.. The various index languages vary widely with respect to their fidelity.. Differences in their performance are correspondingly great.. The lack of fidelity in most of the present day indexing languages is due mainly to insufficient representation of the relationships among concepts.. We describe a new graphical method of storing and retrieving concept relations of various kinds.. The points of such a graph are occupied by concepts, and the connecting lines between these points represent concept relations.. In a special field of chemistry, these graphs also serve as a kind of presentation of the essentials of a document to the reader that is much more lucid than a natural language text.. .X 116 1 641 117 2 641 165 3 641 252 1 641 254 2 641 327 1 641 347 1 641 422 1 641 451 1 641 460 1 641 525 1 641 526 1 641 530 1 641 546 1 641 569 1 641 577 1 641 606 1 641 609 1 641 612 1 641 621 2 641 637 1 641 641 7 641 642 1 641 643 1 641 644 1 641 645 1 641 649 1 641 650 1 641 668 1 641 670 1 641 671 3 641 673 2 641 677 1 641 678 1 641 679 1 641 682 1 641 683 1 641 687 1 641 689 2 641 690 1 641 693 1 641 694 1 641 695 1 641 698 1 641 700 1 641 704 1 641 706 1 641 707 1 641 709 1 641 714 1 641 730 1 641 733 1 641 738 1 641 755 1 641 825 1 641 830 1 641 833 1 641 898 1 641 1026 1 641 1072 1 641 1077 1 641 1231 2 641 1292 1 641 1377 1 641 1452 2 641 1452 2 641 .I 642 .T Making On-Line Search Available in an Industrial Research Environment .A Lawrence, Barbara Weil, Ben H.

Yang, C. S. .W A good deal of work has been done over the years in an attempt to use statistical or probabilistic techniques as a basis of automatic indexing and content analysis.. Unfortunately, many of these methods are lacking in effectiveness, and the more refined procedures are computationally unattractive.. A new technique, known as discrimination value analysis, ranks the text words in accordance with how much they are able to discriminate the documents of a collection from each other; that is, the value of a term depends on how much the average separation between individual documents changes when the given term is assigned for content identification.. The best words are those which achieve the greatest separation.. The discrimination value analysis is computationally simple, and it assigns a specific role in content analysis to single words, juxtaposed words and phrases, and word groups or thesaurus categories.. Experimental results are given showing the effectiveness of the technique.. .X 57 1 643 72 1 643 73 1 643 86 1 643 124 1 643 125 1 643 127 1 643 129 1 643 175 1 643 274 1 643 321 1 643 335 1 643 342 1 643 363 1 643 382 1 643 389 1 643 390 2 643 422 1 643 432 1 643 434 1 643 445 1 643 449 1 643 459 1 643 460 1 643 461 1 643 514 1 643 520 1 643 565 1 643 570 1 643 576 1 643 577 2 643 580 1 643 586 1 643 608 1 643 622 1 643 625 1 643 633 1 643 634 1 643 636 1 643 641 1 643 642 2 643 643 10 643 644 5 643 645 3 643 646 1 643 648 1 643 649 3 643 650 2 643 652 1 643 659 2 643 660 1 643 670 1 643 699 1 643 700 1 643 708 2 643 709 1 643 734 1 643 736 2 643 737 2 643 738 1 643 739 1 643 741 1 643 742 1 643 743 1 643 752 1 643 754 1 643 755 1 643 780 1 643 785 1 643 795 1 643 812 1 643 814 1 643 820 1 643 824 2 643 825 1 643 829 1 643 830 2 643 883 1 643 885 1 643 894 1 643 895 1 643 901 1 643 947 1 643 1044 1 643 1144 1 643 1146 1 643 1282 1 643 1294 1 643 1313 1 643 1327 1 643 1374 2 643 1375 1 643 1376 1 643 1419 1 643 1427 1 643 1437 1 643 1437 1 643 .I 644 .T A Decision Theoretic Foundation for Indexing .A Bookstein, Abraham Swanson, Don R. .W The indexing of a document is among the most crucial steps in preparing that document for retrieval.. The adequacy of the indexing determines the ability of the system to respond to patron requests.. This paper discusses this process, and document retrieval in general, on the basis of formal decision theory.. The basic theoretical approach taken is illustrated by means of a model of word occurrences in documents in the context of a model information system; both models are fully defined in this paper.. Though the main purpose of this paper is to provide insights into a very complex process, formulae are developed that may prove to be of value for an automated operating system..The paper concludes with an interpretation of recall and precision curves as seen from the point of view of decision theory.. .X 51 1 644 57 1 644 61 1 644 73 1 644 75 1 644 79 1 644 114 1 644 125 1 644 127 1 644 129 1 644 144 1 644 175 1 644 176 1 644 274 1 644 315 1 644 335 1 644 342 1 644 363 1 644 390 1 644 419 2 644 422 1 644 432 1 644 434 1 644 441 1 644 445 1 644 449 1 644 458 1 644 460 1 644 461 1 644 531 1 644 575 1 644 577 4 644 580 1 644 622 1 644 625 1 644 634 1 644 641 1 644 642 1 644 643 5 644 644 7 644 645 3 644 646 1 644 649 4 644 650 2 644 652 1 644 660 3 644 662 1 644 664 1 644 670 1 644 699 1 644 700 1 644 708 2 644 709 1 644 736 1 644 737 2 644 738 1 644 739 1 644 741 1 644 752 2 644 754 1 644 755 1 644 780 2 644 785 1 644 812 2 644 824 1 644 825 1 644 829 1 644 830 2 644 885 1 644 895 1 644 947 1 644 956 1 644 1044 1 644 1282 2 644 1294 1 644 1327 1 644 1374 1 644 1376 1 644 1437 1 644 1437 1 644 .I 645 .T Creation and Use of Citation Data Bases: A Modest Proposal .A Waters, Samuel T. .W Improvement in the production and use of citations to research literature calls for coordination of activities by a number of abstracting and indexing services..

The author contends that the use of computer-assisted instruction in conjunction with the on-line information retrieval system is the most promising form of instruction in that the medium itself, as well as the message may be used to acquaint the novice searcher with an interactive user/system interface.. .X 124 2 648 127 1 648 128 1 648 129 1 648 130 1 648 190 2 648 191 3 648 197 1 648 211 1 648 214 1 648 218 1 648 243 1 648 307 1 648 330 1 648 339 1 648 370 2 648 376 1 648 378 1 648 387 1 648 450 1 648 451 1 648 452 1 648 453 1 648 459 2 648 468 1 648 484 1 648 492 1 648 508 1 648 511 1 648 512 1 648 514 2 648 518 1 648 520 1 648 523 1 648 524 1 648 525 1 648 526 1 648 529 1 648 530 1 648 534 1 648 546 1 648 547 1 648 553 1 648 579 1 648 594 1 648 603 1 648 604 1 648 606 1 648 609 1 648 610 1 648 611 1 648 612 1 648 625 1 648 626 1 648 629 1 648 630 1 648 636 1 648 637 1 648 642 2 648 643 1 648 648 7 648 650 1 648 652 1 648 692 1 648 696 1 648 699 1 648 703 1 648 705 1 648 708 1 648 726 1 648 727 1 648 728 1 648 731 1 648 732 1 648 733 1 648 734 2 648 736 2 648 738 1 648 739 1 648 740 1 648 741 1 648 742 2 648 743 3 648 744 1 648 755 1 648 768 1 648 774 1 648 818 1 648 820 1 648 826 1 648 827 1 648 839 1 648 847 1 648 879 1 648 883 2 648 1004 1 648 1035 1 648 1078 1 648 1089 1 648 1091 1 648 1146 1 648 1207 1 648 1246 1 648 1264 1 648 1297 1 648 1303 2 648 1356 1 648 1364 1 648 1368 1 648 1370 1 648 1372 1 648 1373 1 648 1374 2 648 1375 2 648 1376 2 648 1377 1 648 1403 1 648 1457 1 648 1457 1 648 .I 649 .T A Probabilistic Approach to Automatic Keyword Indexing Part I. On the Distribution of Specialty Words in a Technical Literature .A Harter, Stephen P. .W The problem studied in this research is that of developing a set of formal statistical rules for the purpose of identifying the keywords of a document--words likely to be useful as index terms for that document.. The research was prompted by the observation, made by a number of writers, that non-specialty words, words which possess little value for indexing purposes, tend to be distributed at random in a collection of documents.. In contrast, specialty words are not so distributed.. In Part I of the study, a mixture of two Poisson distributions is examined in detail as a model of specialty word distribution, and formulas expressing the three parameters of the model in terms of empirical frequency statistics are derived.. The fit of the model is tested on an experimental document collection and found to be acceptable for the purposes of the study.. A measure intended to identify specialty words, consistent with the 2-Poisson model, is proposed and evaluated.. .X 57 1 649 73 2 649 75 1 649 79 1 649 125 1 649 127 1 649 129 1 649 175 1 649 274 1 649 315 1 649 363 1 649 390 1 649 419 1 649 422 1 649 432 1 649 441 1 649 445 1 649 449 1 649 460 1 649 461 1 649 519 1 649 531 1 649 575 1 649 577 3 649 580 1 649 622 1 649 625 1 649 634 1 649 641 1 649 642 1 649 643 3 649 644 4 649 645 2 649 646 1 649 649 5 649 650 2 649 652 1 649 660 2 649 708 1 649 709 1 649 736 1 649 737 1 649 738 1 649 739 1 649 741 1 649 752 2 649 754 1 649 755 1 649 780 3 649 785 1 649 812 2 649 824 1 649 825 1 649 829 2 649 830 2 649 895 2 649 956 1 649 1282 2 649 1294 1 649 1307 1 649 1374 1 649 1376 1 649 1376 1 649 .I 650 .T Relative Effectiveness of Titles, Abstracts, and Subject Headings for Machine Retrieval from the COMPENDEX Services .A Byrne, Jerry R. .W We have investigated the relative merits of searching on titles, subject headings, abstracts, free-language terms, and combinations of these elements.. The COMPENDEX data base was used for this study since it contained all of the data elements of interest.. In general, the results obtained from the experiments indicate that, as expected, titles alone are not satisfactory for efficient retrieval.. The combination of titles and abstracts came the closest to 100% retrieval, with searching of abstracts alone doing almost as well.. Indexer input, although necessary for 100% retrieval in almost all cases, was found to be relatively unimportant.. .X 124 1 650 125 1 650 127 2 650 129 2 650 190 1 650 191 1 650 197 1 650 211 1 650 214 1 650 218 1 650 243 1 650 307 1 650 330 1 650 363 1 650 378 1 650 422 1 650 432 1 650 450 1 650 451 1 650 452 1 650 459 1 650 460 1 650 461 1 650 468 1 650 484 1 650 492 1 650 508 1 650 511 1 650 512 1 650 514 1 650 518 1 650 520 1 650 523 1 650 524 1 650 525 1 650 526 1 650 529 1 650 530 1 650 534 1 650 546 1 650 553 1 650 577 1 650 579 1 650 580 1 650 594 1 650 603 1 650 604 1 650 606 1 650 609 1 650 610 1 650 611 1 650 612 1 650 622 1 650 625 1 650 626 1 650 630 1 650 636 1 650 637 1 650 641 1 650 642 2 650 643 2 650 644 2 650 645 2 650 646 1 650 648 1 650 649 2 650 650 5 650 692 1 650 696 1 650 699 1 650 703 1 650 705 1 650 708 2 650 709 1 650 726 1 650 727 1 650 728 1 650 731 1 650 732 1 650 733 1 650 734 1 650 736 2 650 737 1 650 738 2 650 739 2 650 740 1 650 741 2 650 742 1 650 743 1 650 744 1 650 755 2 650 820 1 650 825 1 650 826 1 650 827 1 650 830 1 650 879 1 650 883 1 650 1004 1 650 1035 1 650 1078 1 650 1089 1 650 1091 1 650 1207 1 650 1264 1 650 1297 1 650 1303 1 650 1356 1 650 1364 1 650 1368 1 650 1370 1 650 1372 1 650 1373 1 650 1374 2 650 1375 1 650 1376 2 650 1377 1 650 1377 1 650 .I 651 .T An Acquisitions Decision Model for Academic Libraries .A DePew, John N. .W A decision model for book acquisitions has been developed to simulate the intellectual processes used in acquiring these materials in academic libraries..

The concern with relevance, as a key notion in information science, is traced to the problems of scientific communication.. Relevance is considered as a measure of the effectiveness of a contact between a source and a destination in a communication process.. The different views of relevance that emerged are interpreted and related within a framework of communication of knowledge.. Different views arose because relevance was considered at a number of different points in the process of knowledge communication.. It is suggested that there exists an interlocking, interplaying cycle of various systems of relevances.. .X 20 1 652 42 1 652 57 1 652 60 1 652 73 1 652 85 1 652 128 2 652 129 1 652 130 1 652 172 2 652 175 1 652 191 1 652 274 1 652 339 1 652 365 1 652 370 1 652 376 1 652 387 1 652 390 1 652 445 1 652 449 1 652 453 2 652 469 1 652 560 1 652 577 1 652 585 1 652 599 1 652 625 1 652 629 1 652 634 1 652 640 1 652 643 1 652 644 1 652 646 1 652 647 1 652 648 1 652 649 1 652 652 8 652 660 2 652 665 1 652 752 1 652 754 1 652 762 2 652 780 1 652 785 1 652 803 1 652 812 1 652 823 1 652 825 1 652 827 1 652 829 1 652 830 1 652 856 1 652 886 1 652 888 2 652 895 1 652 913 1 652 919 1 652 943 1 652 963 1 652 1003 1 652 1004 1 652 1022 1 652 1045 1 652 1257 1 652 1258 1 652 1268 1 652 1282 1 652 1291 1 652 1315 1 652 1340 1 652 1376 1 652 1403 1 652 1433 1 652 1441 1 652 1445 1 652 1457 1 652 1457 1 652 .I 653 .T Thesaurus Control - the Selection, Grouping, and Cross-Referencing of Terms for Inclusion in a Coordinate Index Word List .A Mandersloot, Wim G.

A systematic approach to indexing in depth, based on earlier work and resulting in reasonably consistent indexing.. 2. An analytical approach to word forms in which the following categories are distinguished: ACTION forms; MEANS-material; MEANS-machine, and MEANS-man forms; STATES; VARIABLES; and LATENT PROPERTIES.. For each word, those forms included in a certain category are represented by a single code.. The category-switching caused by prepositions must be taken into account.. 3. Criteria for term-splitting with limited semantic factoring.. Occasionally, semantic integration is used.. 4. Critera for dealing with antonyms, which are classified as reciprocals, complements, unequivalent opposites, diametrical opposites, and reversals.. 5.

However, they may remember a surprising amount of such "nonstandard" information as the color of the document's cover or its approximate length.. Could this type of "nonstandard" information be profitably exploited in computerized catalogs of the future? Such facilities, if available, would surely be used, for according to catalog usage surveys a majority of today's library patrons seek known documents, and of these, a substantial minority possess nonstandard information.. In this report, the results of a memory experiment to test the memorability of various types of nonstandard information are described and analyzed.. A ranking according to relative memorability and potential retrieval usefulness of various nonstandard book features is given.. It is estimated that if the average patron's nonstandard information were exploited by appropriate retrieval strategies, he would only have to search through roughly one five-hundredth as many documents as in a random search.. This reduction factor is great enough to make nonstandard information potentially useful in many situations.. .X 35 1 655 42 1 655 43 1 655 52 1 655 70 1 655 73 1 655 76 1 655 81 1 655 95 2 655 104 1 655 110 1 655 132 1 655 159 2 655 161 1 655 257 1 655 274 1 655 276 2 655 348 1 655 420 1 655 429 1 655 489 1 655 493 1 655 498 1 655 501 1 655 578 1 655 582 3 655 583 2 655 584 1 655 585 1 655 589 2 655 594 1 655 595 1 655 653 1 655 655 6 655 656 1 655 657 1 655 688 1 655 783 2 655 796 1 655 797 2 655 798 2 655 799 1 655 801 1 655 802 1 655 858 1 655 859 1 655 861 1 655 1054 1 655 1154 1 655 1232 1 655 1281 1 655 1287 1 655 1295 1 655 1297 1 655 1298 1 655 1300 1 655 1405 1 655 1445 1 655 1445 1 655 .I 656 .T Measures of the Usefulness of Written Technical Information to Chemical Researchers .A Kegan, Daniel L. .W The effective transfer of technology involves more than just distributing paper; it demands that useful documents be disseminated with a minimum of useless ones.. For 1 month, 10 researchers recorded a sample of the written technical information items that they received; 4 months later they were interviewed to determine which of these items had proved useful, and in what ways.. The results indicate that (1) a researcher will call an item "useful" even if it does not cause him to take some action, but only has some significance for him; (2) the more the source of an item knows about the needs of the researcher or the more the researcher knows about an item he seeks, the more likely it is that the researcher will find the item useful; (3) no strong relationships were found between certain readily observable, physical arrangements and information behavior; and (4) an item may prove useful, not because of the information objectively contained in that item, but because the item causes a cognitive restructuring of the researcher's mind or a "free association." Other studies that restrict their measures of information usefulness to externally observable behavior or that do not carefully define usefulness may not be validly representing usefulness to the researcher.. .X 29 1 656 35 1 656 42 1 656 43 1 656 52 1 656 58 1 656 70 1 656 73 1 656 81 1 656 89 1 656 95 1 656 105 1 656 109 1 656 110 1 656 155 1 656 157 2 656 165 1 656 314 1 656 356 1 656 420 1 656 426 1 656 445 1 656 451 1 656 475 1 656 544 1 656 560 1 656 578 1 656 582 2 656 589 1 656 590 1 656 594 1 656 595 1 656 609 1 656 655 1 656 656 5 656 657 1 656 658 1 656 685 1 656 689 1 656 762 1 656 814 1 656 901 1 656 1030 1 656 1050 1 656 1054 1 656 1062 1 656 1077 1 656 1154 1 656 1231 1 656 1232 1 656 1256 1 656 1281 1 656 1284 1 656 1285 1 656 1290 1 656 1291 1 656 1293 1 656 1294 1 656 1295 2 656 1296 1 656 1297 1 656 1298 1 656 1319 1 656 1321 1 656 1346 1 656 1361 1 656 1386 1 656 1386 1 656 .I 657 .T Standards For Writing Abstracts .A Weil, Ben H. .W An abstract, as defined here, is an abbreviated, accurate representation of a document.. The following recommendations are made for the guidance of authors and editors, so that abstracts in primary documents may be both helpful to their readers and reproducible with little or no change in secondary publications and services.. Prepare an abstract for every formal item in journals and proceedings, and for each separately published report, pamphlet, thesis, monograph, and patent.. Place the abstract as early as possible in the document.. Make the abstract as informative as the document will permit, so that readers may decide whether they need to read the entire document.. State the purpose, methods results, and conclusions presented in the document, either in that order or with initial emphasis on findings.. Make each abstract self-contained but concise; retain the basic information and tone of the original document.. Keep abstracts of most papers to fewer than 250 words, abstracts of reports and theses to fewer than 500 words (preferably on one page), and abstracts of short communications to fewer than 100 words.. Write most abstracts in a single paragraph.. Normally employ complete, connected sentences; active verbs; ad the third person.. Employ standard nomenclature, or define unfamiliar terms, abbreviations, and symbols the first time they occur in the abstract.. .X 35 2 657 42 1 657 43 1 657 52 1 657 70 1 657 73 1 657 81 1 657 91 1 657 95 1 657 166 1 657 175 2 657 324 1 657 420 2 657 429 1 657 491 1 657 496 1 657 499 1 657 503 2 657 513 1 657 517 1 657 571 2 657 576 2 657 578 1 657 582 3 657 588 1 657 589 4 657 594 1 657 595 1 657 603 1 657 613 1 657 614 1 657 618 1 657 655 1 657 656 1 657 657 10 657 666 1 657 685 1 657 686 1 657 690 1 657 691 1 657 712 2 657 721 1 657 722 1 657 724 1 657 725 1 657 958 1 657 987 1 657 988 1 657 1012 1 657 1054 2 657 1144 1 657 1154 1 657 1208 1 657 1232 1 657 1281 1 657 1293 2 657 1295 2 657 1296 1 657 1298 1 657 1302 1 657 1302 1 657 .I 658 .T Criteria Used by Research and Development Engineers in the Selection of an Information Source .A Gerstberger, Peter G. .A Allen, Thomas J. .W The criteria employed by engineers in the selection of various technical information channels in problem-solving endeavors are investigated..

Introduced are methods for computation of term-term association factors, indexing, assignment of term-document relevance values, and computations for recall and relevance.. High weights are provided for low-frequency terms, and retrieval is performed directly from highly connected term-document files without elaboration..

E. .A Kuhns, J. L. .W This paper reports on a novel technique for literature indexing and searching in a mechanized library system.. The notion of relevance is taken as the key concept in the theory of information retrieval and a comparative concept of relevance is explicated in terms of the theory of probability.. The resulting technique called "Probabilistic Indexing," allows a computing machine, given a request for information, to make a statistical inference and derive a number (called the "relevance number") for each document, which is a measure of the probability that the document will satisfy the given request ranked according to their probable relevance.. The paper goes on to show that whereas in a conventional library system the cross-referencing ("see" and "see also") is based solely on the "semantical closeness" between index terms, statistical measures of closeness between index terms can be defined and computed.. Thus, given an arbitrary request consisting of one (or many) index term(s), a machine can elaborate on it to increase the probability of selecting relevant documents that would not otherwise have been selected.. Finally, the paper suggests an interpretation of the whole library problem as one where the request is considered as a clue on the basis of which the library system makes a concatenated statistical inference in order to provide as an output an ordered list of those documents which most probably satisfy the information needs of the user.. .X 26 3 660 29 1 660 35 1 660 42 1 660 43 2 660 51 3 660 54 2 660 57 1 660 58 1 660 61 1 660 69 1 660 70 1 660 73 2 660 75 2 660 79 2 660 84 1 660 114 1 660 144 1 660 150 2 660 174 1 660 175 3 660 176 2 660 274 1 660 309 1 660 315 1 660 319 2 660 321 1 660 328 2 660 389 1 660 390 2 660 419 5 660 422 2 660 441 3 660 444 1 660 445 3 660 447 1 660 448 1 660 449 2 660 457 1 660 458 2 660 462 1 660 471 1 660 474 1 660 479 1 660 485 1 660 486 1 660 509 1 660 518 1 660 519 1 660 531 1 660 532 1 660 562 3 660 564 2 660 565 3 660 566 2 660 570 1 660 575 2 660 577 5 660 625 3 660 634 1 660 643 1 660 644 3 660 649 2 660 652 2 660 660 21 660 661 2 660 662 5 660 663 1 660 664 2 660 714 1 660 752 2 660 754 1 660 762 2 660 764 1 660 769 1 660 780 3 660 785 3 660 806 1 660 810 3 660 812 3 660 824 2 660 829 1 660 830 1 660 893 1 660 895 1 660 956 1 660 960 1 660 1016 1 660 1030 1 660 1044 1 660 1045 1 660 1084 1 660 1144 1 660 1154 1 660 1195 1 660 1201 1 660 1202 2 660 1218 2 660 1219 1 660 1235 1 660 1281 1 660 1282 3 660 1285 1 660 1294 2 660 1307 1 660 1327 2 660 1382 1 660 1427 1 660 1427 1 660 .I 661 .T Is Automatic Classification a Reasonable Application of Statistical Analysis of Text? .A Doyle, Lauren B. .W The statistical approach to the analysis of document collections and retrieval therefrom has proceeded along two main lines, associative machine searching and automatic classification.. The former approach has been favored because of the tendency of people in the computer field to strive for new methods of dealing with the literature--methods which do not resemble those of traditional libraries.. But automatic classification study also has been thriving; some of the reasons for this are discussed.. The crucial question of the quality of automatic classification is treated at considerable length, and empirical data are introduced to support the hypothesis that classification quality improves as more information about each document is used for input to the classification program.. Six nonjudgmental criteria are used in testing the hypothesis for 100 keyword lists (each list representing a document) for a series of computer runs in which the number of words per document is increased progressively from 12 to 36.. Four of the six criteria indicate the hypothesis holds, and two point to no effect.. Previous work of this kind has been confined to the range of one through eight words per document.. Finally, the future of automatic classification and some of the practical problems to be faced are outlined.. .X 26 1 661 28 1 661 30 1 661 42 1 661 43 1 661 45 1 661 72 1 661 79 1 661 174 2 661 176 1 661 309 1 661 310 1 661 328 2 661 363 1 661 389 1 661 390 1 661 419 2 661 422 1 661 434 1 661 454 1 661 479 2 661 483 2 661 485 2 661 562 1 661 564 3 661 565 3 661 660 2 661 661 6 661 662 2 661 663 3 661 664 1 661 714 1 661 769 2 661 1144 1 661 1327 2 661 1414 1 661 1419 1 661 1448 1 661 1448 1 661 .I 662 .T Automatic Indexing: An Experimental Inquiry .A Maron, M.

Two different classification schedules are compared along with two methods of automatically classifying documents into categories..

Because document retrieval is in part an information processing problem, much hope for a solution has vested in computers.. But large, fast, reliable ones have been around now for five year, and people have steadily realized that the over-all task of information retrieval is not one of those rote jobs for which digital computers are made to order.. Cataloging and searching are intellectual tasks, and have been thought of as rote not because they are menial and straightforward, but because they are unpalatable and unwanted.. Many people do like to use their minds, yes - but not for plowing through and discarding irrelevant material.. Many people have assumed that this would also be the case in information retrieval.. Accordingly, the rush to put computers to work in this area has led primarily to their use as searching instruments, and much activity has centered around the design and operation of searching machinery.. Boundary conditions have been assumed, such as an ideal searcher who knows what he wants and who knows how to express it in terms understood by the machine, and such as ideal correspondence of descriptors to the documents they describe; then attention has been focused on optimizing the processes between these boundaries..

These matters are distinct and must be distinguished. Then conditions must be stated under which one can validly speak of and measure the appropriate flow. In this paper it is shown that within the field of Notification (mention and delivery of recorded messages to users) there are twenty basic activities formed by choosing triads from the six variables, Message, Code, Channel, Source, Destination, and Designation. "Flow" has meaning only when two such triads have two variables in common, forming a tetrad. Then flow or correspondence between any pair of variables is inextricable from a conjugate flow or correspondence between the other pair. Between any pair of endpoints there are six possibly distinct types of flow, according to which two of the remaining four variables are directly used to achieve the flow. .X 3 1 665 20 1 665 42 1 665 60 1 665 85 1 665 129 1 665 172 1 665 361 1 665 457 1 665 469 1 665 585 1 665 599 1 665 640 1 665 652 1 665 665 6 665 762 1 665 791 1 665 803 2 665 911 1 665 1022 1 665 1045 3 665 1268 1 665 1309 1 665 1386 1 665 1422 2 665 1422 2 665 .I 666 .T New Methods in Automatic Extracting .A Edmundson, H.P. .W This paper describes new methods of automatically extracting documents for screening purposes, i.e. the computer selection of sentences having the greatest possible potential for conveying to the reader the substance of the document. While previous work has focused on one component of sentence significance, namely, the presence of high-frequency content words (key words), the methods described here also treat three additional components: pragmatic words (cue words); title and heading words; and structural indicators (sentence location). The research has resulted in an operating system and a research methodology. The extracting system is parameterized to control and vary the influence of the above four components. The research methodology includes procedures for the compilation of the required dictionaries, the setting of the control parameters, and the comparative evaluation of the automatic extracts with manually produced extracts. The results indicate that the three newly proposed components dominate the frequency component in the production of better extracts. KEY WORDS AND PHRASES: automatic extracting, automatic abstracting, sentence selection, document screening, sentence significance, relevance, content words, key words, pragmatic words, cue words, title words, sentence location, research methodology, parameterization, comparative evaluation. .X 26 1 666 30 1 666 35 1 666 39 1 666 71 1 666 75 1 666 77 1 666 78 1 666 79 1 666 80 1 666 81 1 666 82 1 666 83 1 666 114 1 666 154 1 666 175 2 666 212 1 666 247 1 666 315 2 666 324 1 666 420 4 666 458 1 666 499 3 666 503 1 666 516 1 666 527 1 666 571 2 666 572 1 666 581 2 666 657 1 666 662 1 666 664 1 666 666 6 666 838 1 666 853 1 666 1393 1 666 1428 1 666 1431 1 666 1431 1 666 .I 667 .T A Mathematical Method for Analyzing the Growth of a Scientific Discipline .A Goffman, W. .W The spread of ideas within a scientific community and the spread of infectious disease are both special cases of a general communication process. Thus a general theory of epidemics can explain the growth of symbolic logic from 1847 to 1962. An epidemic model predicts the rise and fall of particular research areas within symbolic logic. A Markov chain model of individual movement between research areas indicates that once an individual leaves an area he is not expected to return.

Holland, D.B. Jacobus, D.P. .W Many methods for the coding of chemical structures have been described in the literature. Some methods code the compound only partially; typical of these are the methods using descriptor codes. Other methods, among which the so-called ciphers are prominent, code compounds exhaustively. All these methods require cerebral effort; that is, a chemist is needed who must have learned the rules of the code, and who must known how to dismember correctly each structure to be coded. A disadvantage of code designations of structures is, furthermore, that they are not generally understood by chemists. No advantages accrue to the chemist from knowing how to generate and how to interpret a chemical code. Codes are needed only for the mechanical manipulation of chemical structures. Clearly then, if the coding of chemical compounds could be accomplished automatically this automatic conversion would relieve the chemist of considerable burden. .X 116 1 668 117 2 668 165 1 668 254 2 668 327 1 668 445 1 668 476 1 668 525 1 668 590 1 668 621 1 668 641 1 668 668 7 668 670 2 668 671 2 668 673 1 668 674 1 668 675 1 668 677 1 668 678 1 668 679 1 668 682 1 668 683 1 668 689 2 668 690 3 668 693 1 668 694 1 668 695 1 668 698 1 668 700 1 668 704 1 668 706 1 668 707 1 668 715 1 668 730 2 668 738 1 668 797 1 668 819 1 668 833 1 668 1026 1 668 1072 1 668 1077 1 668 1231 1 668 1292 1 668 1452 1 668 1452 1 668 .I 669 .T Rapid Structure Searches via Permuted Chemical Line-Notations .A Sorter, P.F. Granito, C.E. Gilmer, J.C. Gelberg, A.

These symbols are meaningful to chemists familiar with the notation and can be processed by automatic data processing (ADP) equipment. The uniqueness of the line-notation permits the use of alphanumerically arranged lists of notations for dictionary-type searches. This ordered arrangement permits the rapid location of a specific compound or a specific class of ring compounds other than benzenoid. .X 669 6 669 673 3 669 678 1 669 682 1 669 687 2 669 693 1 669 704 1 669 706 1 669 833 1 669 1026 1 669 1452 3 669 1452 3 669 .I 670 .T A Chemical Structure Storage and Search System Developed at Du Pont .A Gluck, D.J. .W As early as 1961, we in the engineering Department of Du Pont recognized the need for a better system for recording chemical structure information for storage and subsequent retrieval.

Accordingly, we studied and then developed a chemical structure storage and search system. Huber gave a good review of the various approaches and applications. To use his terminology, our system is topological coding. Our initial investigation led to singling out the following needs for such a system. .X 116 1 670 117 2 670 165 1 670 254 1 670 327 1 670 445 1 670 476 1 670 525 1 670 590 1 670 621 1 670 641 1 670 643 1 670 644 1 670 668 2 670 670 8 670 671 6 670 673 1 670 674 1 670 677 1 670 678 1 670 679 1 670 682 1 670 683 1 670 689 2 670 690 1 670 693 2 670 694 1 670 695 1 670 698 1 670 699 1 670 700 2 670 704 1 670 706 1 670 707 1 670 708 3 670 709 1 670 715 1 670 730 1 670 737 1 670 738 1 670 797 1 670 819 1 670 833 1 670 1026 1 670 1044 1 670 1072 1 670 1077 1 670 1231 1 670 1292 1 670 1452 2 670 1452 2 670 .I 671 .T The Generation of a Unique Machine Description for Chemical Structures - A Technique Developed at Chemical Abstracts Service .A Morgan, H.L. .W As part of the development of a computer-based chemical information system at CAS, it has been necessary to devise techniques for the registration of drawings of chemical structures. A major purpose of the CAS registration process is to determine whether a particular structure has already been stored in the system. The ability to make this determination makes it possible to utilize a computer to assign to every chemical structure a unique identifying label. This identifying label, referred to as a registry number, is the thread that ties together all information associated with a particular compound throughout the developing CAS computer system. It is because of this association, made possible by the registration process, that CAS will be able to provide multiple-file correlative searches with assurance that all information on file for a particular compound has been located. .X 116 2 671 117 3 671 165 2 671 252 1 671 254 2 671 327 3 671 347 1 671 445 1 671 476 1 671 525 1 671 569 5 671 590 1 671 621 1 671 641 3 671 668 2 671 670 6 671 671 20 671 673 2 671 674 3 671 677 1 671 678 1 671 679 1 671 682 1 671 683 2 671 687 1 671 689 3 671 690 2 671 693 1 671 694 1 671 695 1 671 698 1 671 699 1 671 700 1 671 704 1 671 706 2 671 707 1 671 708 2 671 709 2 671 710 1 671 714 1 671 715 1 671 730 1 671 738 1 671 797 1 671 819 1 671 833 1 671 1026 2 671 1072 1 671 1077 1 671 1180 1 671 1231 1 671 1261 1 671 1292 2 671 1452 5 671 1452 5 671 .I 672 .T Esso Research Experiences with Chemical Abstracts on Microfilm .A Weil, H.

Briefly, the concept of the CAS system consists of sets of special subject files in the following categories: (1) physical properties, (2) chemical reactivities, (3) biochemical activities, and (4) applications. With the importance of compounds in correlation studies, and the need to interrelate compounds and the huge collections of chemical and other data, a highly developed subsystem, called the Registry System, for handling compounds must be the first step in the actual operation of an over-all computer-based service. The Registry System will include files of compounds interconnected with files of associated data that permit identifying the compounds and retrieving them from the files. .X 34 1 674 53 1 674 117 1 674 165 1 674 252 1 674 445 1 674 476 1 674 480 1 674 525 1 674 565 1 674 590 1 674 621 1 674 668 1 674 670 1 674 671 3 674 674 9 674 675 1 674 679 1 674 680 1 674 682 1 674 683 1 674 687 1 674 689 1 674 694 1 674 695 1 674 697 2 674 698 1 674 709 3 674 711 1 674 715 2 674 746 1 674 797 1 674 819 1 674 1077 1 674 1231 1 674 1261 1 674 1452 2 674 1452 2 674 .I 675 .T Atom-by-Atom Typewriter Input for Computerized Storage and Retrieval of Chemical Structures .A Mullen, J.M. .W Novel features have been added to a paper tape typewriter having a removable typing element.

A study of systematic Chemical Abstracts (CA) index names has resulted in a dictionary of word roots used in the names and in step-by-step procedures for converting names to connection tables. Statistical studies of nomenclature in CA indexes show that these procedures are applicable not only to current nomenclature, but also generally to names in past indexes. Procedures have been written which are applicable to the majority of names of carbon compounds, and the preparation of computer programs is now under way. .X 116 1 677 117 1 677 253 1 677 254 1 677 327 1 677 641 1 677 668 1 677 670 1 677 671 1 677 673 1 677 677 6 677 678 1 677 679 1 677 682 1 677 689 1 677 690 1 677 693 1 677 694 1 677 695 1 677 698 1 677 700 1 677 701 2 677 704 1 677 706 2 677 707 1 677 730 1 677 738 1 677 833 1 677 1026 1 677 1072 1 677 1292 1 677 1301 1 677 1444 1 677 1452 2 677 1452 2 677 .I 678 .T A Chemical Notation and Code for Computer Manipulation .A Lefkovitz, D. .W This paper describes and specifies the rules for generating a code to represent chemical formulas. It may be used either as a notation or for internal manipulation by computer for registration, screening, and atom-by- atom search. It is basically a connection table in a concise format which also contains abnormality information relating to specific atoms or relations between atoms. The notation produced by these rules unambiguously defines a structure (as a connection table), but the notation is unique only to a given numbering (or citation order) of the atoms. Hence, its uniqueness is dependent on the numbering uniqueness of the atoms in the structural formula. Techniques for the use of the code in registry and substructure search are also discussed. .X 116 1 678 117 1 678 254 1 678 327 1 678 641 1 678 668 1 678 669 1 678 670 1 678 671 1 678 673 2 678 675 1 678 677 1 678 678 7 678 679 2 678 682 4 678 689 1 678 690 1 678 693 1 678 694 1 678 695 1 678 698 1 678 700 1 678 704 2 678 706 2 678 707 1 678 730 1 678 738 1 678 833 1 678 1026 2 678 1072 1 678 1292 1 678 1419 1 678 1452 2 678 1452 2 678 .I 679 .T Conversion of Wiswesser Notation to a Connectivity Matrix for Organic Compounds .A Matthews, F.W. Hyde, E. Thomson, L.H. Wiswesser, W.J. .W A computer program is described which generates a connectivity matrix using as input an unmodified Wiswesser notation. This program records the topology of a molecule as a statement of the atoms and their connectivity. One symbol is used to represent each atom and this symbol is descriptive of the atom and its bonds. The network of a complex molecule is recorded as a series of interruptions in an assumed linear path. The application of this matrix to information handling of chemical structures is described in a subsequent paper. .X 116 1 679 117 1 679 254 1 679 327 1 679 641 1 679 668 1 679 670 1 679 671 1 679 673 2 679 674 1 679 675 1 679 677 1 679 678 2 679 679 5 679 681 1 679 682 1 679 687 1 679 689 1 679 690 1 679 693 1 679 694 1 679 695 1 679 697 1 679 698 1 679 700 1 679 704 1 679 706 1 679 707 1 679 730 1 679 738 1 679 833 1 679 1026 2 679 1072 1 679 1292 1 679 1452 4 679 1452 4 679 .I 680 .T SWIFT: Computerized Storage and Retrieval of Technical Information .A Ackermann, H.J.

The system is intended to monitor a large scale experiment in file organization for a real-time, interactive chemical information system. It is based upon a topological screen system that ensures the inclusion of every compound atom (including H) in at least one screen assignment, that appears to be responsive to a broad range of query types, and that is amenable to random- access techniques. The Monitor system is also considered, in this paper, as an independent interim approach toward fulfilling, in an effective and economic manner, the functional requirements of a small- to medium-sized chemical information system. Thus it could be used to encode and generate structure files, to assign search screens, and to provide manual substructure search capability via microfilm or hard copy printed indexes. .X 116 1 682 117 1 682 150 1 682 254 1 682 327 1 682 347 1 682 371 1 682 465 1 682 480 1 682 641 1 682 668 1 682 669 1 682 670 1 682 671 1 682 673 2 682 674 1 682 677 1 682 678 4 682 679 1 682 681 1 682 682 6 682 689 1 682 690 1 682 693 1 682 694 2 682 695 2 682 697 1 682 698 2 682 700 1 682 704 3 682 706 1 682 707 1 682 716 1 682 717 1 682 730 1 682 738 1 682 833 1 682 1026 1 682 1072 1 682 1292 1 682 1419 1 682 1452 3 682 1452 3 682 .I 683 .T The IDC System for Chemical Documentation .A Meyer, Ernst .W After a decade of systems development, firms of the European chemical industry founded a corporation (IDC) to make the chemical journal and patent literature accessible by efficient computer methods..

Subscribers receive magnetic tapes and printouts, in which the weekly issues of Index Chemicus (IC) have been encoded in Wiswesser Line Notations (WLN). Over 13,000 compounds per month are provided in machine language. The canonical WLN is also provided in alphabetized printouts. Encoding of over 400,000 new chemical compounds from IC has already been completed, including all those reported in 1967, 1968, and 1969. Since the tapes also include title and other bibliographic information, this paper describes the use of supporting software provided for SDI search systems employing "word" and other searching terms, in addition to the WLN fragments. Use of the monthly and annual printouts are illustrated for those searches which do not require computer manipulation. .X 164 1 687 165 1 687 252 1 687 253 2 687 254 1 687 347 1 687 491 1 687 512 1 687 591 1 687 641 1 687 669 2 687 671 1 687 673 2 687 674 1 687 679 1 687 683 2 687 687 10 687 689 1 687 697 1 687 714 2 687 726 1 687 805 1 687 809 1 687 1026 1 687 1087 1 687 1089 1 687 1285 1 687 1287 1 687 1302 1 687 1362 1 687 1452 4 687 1452 4 687 .I 688 .T The Multiterm Index: A New Concept in Information Storage and Retrieval .A Skolnik, H. .W An index not only can be a creative communication medium, it needs to be in a research and development environment. A creative index is achievable if the relationship and association of things and actions, one to another, can be communicated as a continuous function vis-a-vis the real world of science and technology. A chemist does not think of a chemical, for example, ethyl alcohol, in isolation. Ethyl alcohol is not merely a word or a term without dimensions to a chemist. It is a concept that he associates with or relates to a product, a reactant, a solvent in a reaction, a use, a property, etc. It is within the semantics of his conceptual needs that he would like to use an index to retrieve those documents he needs. He wants more than documents, however, from the index. He wants the index to direct him to those documents which are pertinent to his problem. He wants the index to help him to generate thoughts and to suggest new combinations. He wants the index to help him in terms of his language, logic, and semantics and through a generic or specific approach, whichever occurs to him first. He wants the ability to browse among the terms to discover the term that is on the tip of his tongue or recessed in his memory. These are the criteria an index must satisfy if it is to be a creative medium of communication. .X 117 1 688 159 1 688 257 1 688 429 1 688 489 1 688 493 1 688 498 1 688 501 1 688 582 1 688 583 1 688 653 1 688 655 1 688 688 8 688 693 1 688 707 1 688 723 1 688 730 1 688 796 1 688 797 1 688 798 1 688 801 1 688 802 1 688 833 2 688 1026 1 688 1405 1 688 1452 1 688 1452 1 688 .I 689 .T The GREMAS System, an Integral Part of the IDC System for Chemical Documentation .A Rossler, Sigrid .A Kolb, Arthur .W The Genealogical Retrieval by Magnetic Tapes Storage (GREMAS) system and the potential it offers for searches are described..

Schipma, P.B. .W The objective of the Computer Search Center (CSC) of the Information Sciences section of IIT Research Institute (IITRI) is to provide a link between a wide variety of users and the rapidly expanding information resources in machine- readable form. Because none of the available computer search programs met the criteria of the center, and because of the need to handle a variety of data bases, new general purpose computer programs were written, and a tape format was developed so that a wide variety of data bases can be searched by the same computer program. The center was designed to provide current awareness and retrospective search services from both document-type and data-type computerized data files. The desire to develop transferable programs for use at many installations prompted the adoption of the machine-independent compiler language PL/1 and the use of IBM 360 series computers. The objective of education and training led to the development of a "Search Manual" for profile preparation, the development of a workbook in "Modern Techniques in Chemical Information," the teaching of a new academic course, and the presentation of seminars. .X 120 1 692 124 1 692 127 1 692 128 1 692 129 1 692 135 1 692 190 1 692 191 1 692 197 1 692 211 1 692 214 1 692 218 1 692 243 1 692 244 1 692 245 1 692 291 1 692 307 1 692 327 1 692 330 1 692 378 1 692 450 1 692 451 1 692 452 1 692 459 2 692 468 1 692 484 1 692 492 1 692 508 1 692 511 1 692 512 1 692 514 1 692 518 1 692 520 1 692 523 1 692 524 1 692 525 1 692 526 1 692 529 1 692 530 1 692 534 1 692 546 1 692 553 1 692 575 1 692 579 1 692 594 1 692 599 1 692 603 1 692 604 1 692 606 1 692 609 1 692 610 1 692 611 1 692 612 1 692 621 1 692 625 1 692 626 1 692 630 2 692 636 1 692 637 1 692 642 1 692 648 1 692 650 1 692 692 6 692 695 1 692 696 1 692 698 1 692 699 1 692 703 2 692 705 1 692 708 1 692 726 1 692 727 1 692 728 1 692 731 1 692 732 2 692 733 1 692 734 1 692 736 1 692 738 1 692 739 1 692 740 1 692 741 1 692 742 1 692 743 1 692 744 1 692 755 1 692 820 1 692 826 1 692 827 1 692 879 1 692 883 1 692 925 1 692 1004 1 692 1035 1 692 1078 1 692 1089 1 692 1091 1 692 1207 1 692 1264 1 692 1297 1 692 1303 1 692 1356 1 692 1364 1 692 1368 1 692 1370 1 692 1372 1 692 1373 1 692 1374 1 692 1375 1 692 1376 1 692 1377 1 692 1402 1 692 1402 1 692 .I 693 .T A Correlative Notation System for NMR Data .A Skolnik, Herman .W A new linear notation system which denotes carbon in terms of bounds and attached hydrogen(s) is used to correlate proton groups in organic molecules with chemical shifts..

Chauvenet, A.R. Koniver, D.A. .W Computer programs developed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) produce uncontracted though otherwise canonical Wiswesser Line Notation (WLN) for a fairly broad class of compounds. An associated front end allows a chemist to communicate with the programs by drawing structures on a Rand Tablet. The WLN generation programs accept connection table input, either from a previously existing file or generated from the Rand Tablet drawing. The programs recognize situations which they cannot handle - the output is thus either correct WLN or a message by which the programs acknowledge their limitations. In general, correct WLN will be produced for any compound containing not more than one nonbenzene ring. Work is under way to extend this to polycyclic fused ring systems. The philosophy and concepts behind these programs are explained along with the more interesting algorithmic results. The role of the WLN-generation programs in a developing NIH chemical information system is briefly discussed. The WLN programs are written in Fortran IV and have been developed on a PDP-10 computer. .X 116 1 694 117 1 694 254 1 694 316 1 694 327 1 694 641 1 694 668 1 694 670 1 694 671 1 694 673 1 694 674 1 694 677 1 694 678 1 694 679 1 694 682 2 694 689 1 694 690 3 694 693 1 694 694 7 694 695 4 694 697 2 694 698 4 694 700 1 694 704 1 694 706 1 694 707 1 694 730 1 694 738 1 694 833 1 694 1026 1 694 1072 1 694 1292 2 694 1452 3 694 1452 3 694 .I 695 .T Interactive Searching of Chemical Files and Structural Diagram Generation from Wiswesser Line Notation .A Feldman, R. J. .A Koniver, D. A. .W An interactive search and retrieval system for Weswesser Line Notation (WLN) has been implemented.. The system employs bit screens, which are useful for filtering a file.. The user can graphically specify a search request structure and immediately receive graphic information as the result of the search.. Four Fortran IV programs were developed to prepare bit screens for WLN files, input the search request to generate the WLN, iteratively search the WLN bit screen file, and generate a two-dimensional representation of the chemical structure directly from the WLN.. .X 116 1 695 117 1 695 254 1 695 316 1 695 327 2 695 641 1 695 668 1 695 670 1 695 671 1 695 673 1 695 674 1 695 677 1 695 678 1 695 679 1 695 682 2 695 689 1 695 690 2 695 692 1 695 693 1 695 694 4 695 695 5 695 697 2 695 698 5 695 700 1 695 704 1 695 706 1 695 707 1 695 730 1 695 738 1 695 833 1 695 1026 1 695 1072 1 695 1292 1 695 1452 3 695 1452 3 695 .I 696 .T Computerized Drug Information services .A Smith, Daniel R. .A Beauchamp, R.

Cowell, J. Lynch, M.F. McLure, A.H.W. Town, W.G. Yapp, A.M. .W A major problem in the design of screening systems for substructure searches of chemical structure files is the development of a methodology for selection of an optimal set of structural characteristics to act as screens. The set chosen for a particular application will depend on the characteristics of the collection, as well as on its size and growth rate. A strategy which takes account of the disparate frequencies of the various species of fragments in a data-base by use of differential, and, in part, hierarchical levels of description is detailed. The distributions of a variety of structural characteristics, including bond-centered, atom-centered, and ring fragments in a 30,000-compound sample of the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry System are summarized. Implementation of the approach, using primarily bond-centered fragments, by means of simple and highly efficient computer programs, is detailed. .X 18 1 700 19 1 700 116 1 700 117 1 700 124 1 700 125 2 700 145 1 700 165 1 700 211 1 700 228 1 700 229 1 700 254 1 700 321 1 700 327 1 700 329 2 700 359 1 700 378 1 700 381 1 700 416 1 700 440 1 700 448 1 700 452 2 700 453 1 700 467 1 700 468 1 700 484 1 700 495 1 700 506 1 700 508 1 700 511 3 700 512 1 700 514 1 700 516 1 700 517 1 700 518 1 700 520 1 700 521 3 700 522 1 700 523 2 700 524 1 700 526 2 700 527 1 700 528 2 700 529 1 700 568 1 700 575 1 700 576 1 700 580 1 700 604 1 700 609 1 700 610 1 700 612 1 700 615 1 700 619 1 700 622 1 700 623 1 700 625 1 700 626 1 700 629 1 700 631 1 700 632 1 700 633 1 700 636 1 700 641 1 700 643 1 700 644 1 700 668 1 700 670 2 700 671 1 700 673 1 700 677 1 700 678 1 700 679 1 700 682 1 700 689 1 700 690 2 700 693 1 700 694 1 700 695 1 700 697 1 700 698 1 700 699 3 700 700 9 700 704 1 700 705 2 700 706 1 700 707 3 700 708 1 700 709 1 700 723 1 700 726 1 700 727 2 700 728 1 700 729 1 700 730 2 700 731 2 700 737 2 700 738 2 700 754 2 700 791 1 700 812 2 700 813 1 700 814 1 700 817 1 700 820 1 700 822 1 700 824 1 700 833 1 700 866 1 700 870 1 700 872 1 700 873 1 700 875 1 700 1026 1 700 1044 1 700 1072 1 700 1078 1 700 1089 1 700 1091 1 700 1092 1 700 1143 1 700 1196 1 700 1199 1 700 1264 1 700 1292 1 700 1302 1 700 1303 2 700 1327 1 700 1364 1 700 1366 2 700 1367 2 700 1368 2 700 1396 1 700 1452 2 700 1452 2 700 .I 701 .T Chemical Abstracts Index Names for Chemical Substances in the Ninth Collective Period (1972-1976) .A Donaldson, N. Powell, W.H. Rowlett, R.J. White, R.W. Yorka, K.V. .W Index names for chemical substances have been significantly revised by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) for Volume 76 [January-June 1972, the first volume of the Ninth Collective Period (1972-1976)] and subsequent volumes of Chemical Abstracts. While remaining generally within the framework of IUPAC and other existing nomenclature rules, the most systematic recommended names have been chosen. These names are more easily derived from molecular structural diagrams, and, therefore, are more quickly found by index users. Machine editing of index names and translation of these names into structural representations in the CAS computer-based information system are also aided by the revisions. The index name revisions include (i) conversion of almost all "trivial" or author terminology into more systematic names, (ii) simplification of general name-selection rules, and (iii) elimination of special treatment for certain classes of substances. Specific identifiable alloys, elementary particles, enzymes, and mixtures of substances are now indexed like conventional chemical substances. Difficulties encountered with generation of previous Chemical Abstracts index names and indexing rules are described, and comparisons are made of new and former index names for chemical compounds and substituent radicals. .X 677 2 701 701 5 701 709 1 701 738 1 701 738 1 701 .I 702 .T The CA Integrated Subject File. II. Evaluation of Alternative Data Base Organizations .A Zipperer, W.C. Park, M.K. Carmon, J.L. .W The relative retrieval performances of the CA Integrated Subject File (CAISF), CA Condensates, and a Merged File created from these two data bases have been measured. Retrieval performance is reported in terms of recall and precision values as well as costs. The precision and recall retrieval failures - i.e., irrelevant documents and missed documents - have been analyzed for each data base and characterized according to the five major types of failures: index language, indexing, searching, clerical, and miscellaneous. Over-all analysis of the performance suggests that an effective data base can be created by augmenting the CA Condensates data base with Registry Numbers and some representation of the CAISF General Subject concept headings, which results in a file approximately half the size of the corresponding CAISF data base and is suitable for search using existing retrieval system software. .X 10 1 702 18 1 702 127 1 702 145 1 702 190 1 702 225 1 702 244 1 702 304 1 702 305 1 702 306 1 702 357 1 702 358 1 702 376 1 702 385 1 702 394 1 702 433 1 702 459 3 702 524 1 702 525 1 702 527 1 702 529 1 702 530 1 702 534 2 702 633 1 702 635 1 702 636 1 702 637 1 702 642 1 702 699 1 702 702 5 702 703 1 702 707 1 702 710 1 702 730 1 702 731 1 702 732 2 702 733 2 702 734 2 702 736 1 702 738 2 702 740 1 702 741 1 702 742 2 702 817 1 702 820 1 702 823 1 702 825 1 702 826 2 702 827 2 702 828 1 702 877 1 702 879 1 702 947 1 702 948 1 702 1017 1 702 1058 1 702 1146 1 702 1230 1 702 1257 1 702 1370 1 702 1372 1 702 1383 1 702 1390 1 702 1396 1 702 1448 1 702 1448 1 702 .I 703 .T A Chemical Search System for a Small Computer .A Wilde, D.U.

Use of the IUPAC cipher has proved advantageous as regards speed and cost of both input and searching. For most searches, scanning of the information explicit in the cipher has proved adequate.

Most of these systems are also capable of handling certain fragment requests; however, the fragments which can be processed are frequently of a restricted nature. For example, in retrieval systems which are based on linear ciphers, only those fragments which are explicit in the cipher are readily detected. To allow a completely general specification of fragments it seems inevitable that a detailed atom-by-atom comparison is required of the query and library structures. A technique for making such detailed comparisons is presented in this report. This technique is novel in that it avoids the excessive backtracking ad restarting required by other atom-by-atom matching procedures. Before giving the details of the proposed algorithm, some definitions are reviewed and a brief example is presented to illustrate the over-all concepts. Then the flow diagram of the algorithm is explained in terms of additional examples. Finally, the mechanization of the algorithm for a digital computer is discussed. This report is a condensed version of the original, which gives a generalization and comprehensive description of the algorithm, proofs of convergence and related topics, and applications other than chemical retrieval systems. .X 116 1 706 117 1 706 253 1 706 254 1 706 327 3 706 568 2 706 569 1 706 641 1 706 668 1 706 669 1 706 670 1 706 671 2 706 673 1 706 677 2 706 678 2 706 679 1 706 682 1 706 689 1 706 690 1 706 693 1 706 694 1 706 695 1 706 698 1 706 700 1 706 704 1 706 706 10 706 707 1 706 730 1 706 738 1 706 833 1 706 890 3 706 1026 2 706 1072 1 706 1092 1 706 1202 1 706 1292 2 706 1301 1 706 1444 1 706 1452 2 706 1452 2 706 .I 707 .T French National Policy for Chemical Information and the DARC System as a Potential Tool of This Policy .A Dubois, J.

I. General Design .A Dittmar, P.G. Stobaugh, R.E. Watson, C.E. .W The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Chemical Registry System is a computer- based system that uniquely identifies chemical substances on the basis of composition and structure. Since initial operation in 1964 as a stand-alone input, storage, and retrieval system for structural representations of organic chemical compounds, the scope of the CAS Registry System has steadily increased to include all types of chemical substances and the entire system has been integrated into CAS indexing operations. The third refinement of this system, Registry III, which has been in operation for over a year, involves major changes in Registry recods but no change in the basic algorithmic techniques for registering chemical substances. The previous format for listing atoms and bonds has been modified so that each ring system is now separately identified, and this ring-system identifier is used in the record for each substance that contains that ring. These modifications support CAS nomenclature derivation and also a computer-based structure output system. The general design of Registry III, which involves a structure record of cyclic and acyclic segments, is presented. .X 422 1 709 577 1 709 641 1 709 643 1 709 644 1 709 645 1 709 649 1 709 650 1 709 670 1 709 671 2 709 674 3 709 675 1 709 700 1 709 701 1 709 708 1 709 709 8 709 731 1 709 738 2 709 755 1 709 825 1 709 830 1 709 1261 1 709 1292 1 709 1292 1 709 .I 710 .T An International Mass Spectral Search System (MSSS).

II. Writing Principles and Practices .A Weil, B.H. Zarember, I. Owen, H. .W Abstracts can serve their purpose best only if they are carefully written to transmit important information to readers quickly and accurately. This requires knowledge of audience needs, habits, and desires; ability to identify the key facts in the document; ability to organize these facts, to present them in the order best suited to the audience; and ability to write the abstracts clearly, concisely, and in conformity with the style rules of the medium involved. Some of these abilities are inborn, but all can be learned by study, practice, and criticism. .X 35 1 712 571 1 712 657 2 712 672 1 712 712 5 712 1054 1 712 1118 1 712 1124 1 712 1124 1 712 .I 713 .T Patent Citation Indexing and the Notions of Novelty, Similarity, and Relevance .A Garfield, Eugene .W The unique features of the "references cited" in U.S. patents are discussed in relation to their use in the patent section of the Science Citation Index, which adds a new dimension to patent searching..

It is based on recent studies of the structure of articulated subject indexes, such as those to Chemical Abstracts. The model employs the prepositions and connectives of phrases of simple structure as articulating points, and selects from all possible forms of entries those which lead to optimal organization in an index. The technique is illustrated with part of an index to a recent abstracting journal. The wide variety of controls which can be exerted by the indexer and the program is discussed. .X 34 1 715 51 1 715 53 2 715 69 1 715 71 1 715 77 1 715 79 1 715 117 1 715 165 1 715 168 1 715 175 1 715 176 1 715 252 1 715 257 1 715 315 1 715 382 1 715 445 1 715 448 1 715 476 1 715 480 4 715 483 1 715 484 1 715 486 1 715 488 1 715 491 1 715 493 1 715 503 1 715 507 1 715 509 1 715 510 1 715 512 1 715 517 1 715 520 1 715 522 1 715 525 1 715 527 1 715 528 1 715 531 1 715 565 2 715 566 1 715 581 1 715 590 1 715 596 1 715 603 1 715 608 1 715 621 1 715 633 1 715 659 1 715 668 1 715 670 1 715 671 1 715 674 2 715 680 1 715 683 1 715 689 1 715 711 1 715 715 7 715 746 1 715 754 1 715 790 1 715 797 2 715 798 1 715 805 1 715 809 1 715 810 1 715 812 1 715 813 1 715 814 1 715 817 1 715 819 1 715 824 1 715 825 1 715 894 1 715 1051 1 715 1077 1 715 1230 1 715 1231 1 715 1265 1 715 1294 1 715 1327 1 715 1393 1 715 1394 1 715 1419 1 715 1427 1 715 1427 1 715 .I 716 .T Reading Behavior of Chemists .A Gushee, D.E. .W Most discussions about the future design of chemical information systems emphasize the effects of computer speed on composition, storage, searching, and retrieval. Little attention has been paid to the behavior of the scientist (chemist) toward the learning process and the role of the literature in that learning process. The ACS has gained some insight into this behavior and thus urges caution before one leaps to the uncritical conclusion that the literature as now constituted is dead but has not yet fallen over. What seems more likely, when human behavior patterns are considered, is that the new and the old will co-exist side by side for several generations, and that the system's current emphasis on completeness will be replaced with selective compression. .X 24 1 716 32 1 716 62 1 716 65 1 716 66 1 716 75 1 716 76 1 716 137 2 716 150 1 716 210 1 716 255 2 716 278 1 716 279 1 716 280 1 716 347 1 716 355 1 716 371 1 716 382 1 716 386 1 716 395 1 716 398 1 716 465 1 716 480 1 716 592 1 716 658 1 716 681 1 716 682 1 716 704 1 716 716 5 716 717 1 716 735 1 716 748 1 716 782 1 716 788 1 716 789 1 716 837 1 716 925 1 716 1037 1 716 1045 1 716 1083 1 716 1087 1 716 1089 1 716 1298 1 716 1361 1 716 1400 1 716 1404 1 716 1404 1 716 .I 717 .T Current Information Dissemination: Ideas and Practices .A Cooper, Marianne .W A detailed description and a tabulated summary of the salient feature of 17 current awareness information services are presented to illustrate various approaches to handling the current information dissemination problem.. .X 59 1 717 63 1 717 64 1 717 83 1 717 150 1 717 175 2 717 245 1 717 347 1 717 355 1 717 369 1 717 371 1 717 374 1 717 382 1 717 465 1 717 480 1 717 481 1 717 482 1 717 681 1 717 682 1 717 704 1 717 716 1 717 717 5 717 718 1 717 719 1 717 763 1 717 781 1 717 783 1 717 834 1 717 835 1 717 848 1 717 849 1 717 850 1 717 851 1 717 852 1 717 922 1 717 925 1 717 980 1 717 981 1 717 982 1 717 1042 2 717 1051 2 717 1151 1 717 1410 1 717 1415 2 717 1426 1 717 1426 1 717 .I 718 .T Critical Reviews: Introductory Remarks .A Henderson, Madeline M. .W Critical reviews are examined in terms of the quality and quantity of their present production and the measure of their value and utility to scientists in meeting information needs..The paper presented the viewpoint of user, sponsor, author, and editor, and discuss present problems and possible future solutions.. .X 59 1 718 63 1 718 175 1 718 347 1 718 355 2 718 481 1 718 482 1 718 717 1 718 718 5 718 719 4 718 958 1 718 980 1 718 1010 1 718 1042 1 718 1051 1 718 1094 1 718 1099 1 718 1102 1 718 1107 1 718 1179 1 718 1410 1 718 1415 1 718 1426 1 718 1426 1 718 .I 719 .T Critical Reviews: The User's Point of View .A Herring, C. .W Scientists are worried about the "information explosion" and the amount of published literature that could have a significant impact on their work.

A comparison made with four other SDI systems shows a relatively high level of performance for this system. .X 13 1 720 59 1 720 71 1 720 72 1 720 73 1 720 74 1 720 75 2 720 76 1 720 77 1 720 78 1 720 79 1 720 81 1 720 82 1 720 83 1 720 86 1 720 121 1 720 153 1 720 156 1 720 211 1 720 212 1 720 213 1 720 245 1 720 277 1 720 279 1 720 280 1 720 465 1 720 466 1 720 486 1 720 720 5 720 748 1 720 785 1 720 786 1 720 787 1 720 788 1 720 789 1 720 791 1 720 914 1 720 925 1 720 984 1 720 1362 1 720 1363 1 720 1363 1 720 .I 721 .T User Experiences with Primary Journals on 16-Mm Microfilm .A Starker, L.N. .W The availability of scientific journals on 16-mm film is a relatively new phenomenon. User acceptance of this microfilm application has been greatly improved by loading the file into cartridges and making use of motor-driven reader-printers. This equipment permits rapid searching of the microfilm and adds the convenience of on-the-spot hard-copy prints as needed. Of prime importance are the economic advantages of these editions, since they allow many special libraries to stretch greatly the space available to them for journal housing. The economics of this approach are also discussed, as are the reactions of the scientists and information personnel who use them. .X 91 1 721 286 2 721 429 1 721 513 1 721 582 1 721 588 1 721 589 1 721 603 1 721 613 1 721 614 1 721 618 1 721 657 1 721 672 2 721 685 2 721 686 2 721 691 2 721 721 5 721 722 1 721 724 2 721 725 2 721 765 1 721 770 1 721 776 1 721 958 1 721 987 1 721 988 1 721 1014 2 721 1058 1 721 1208 2 721 1209 1 721 1290 1 721 1293 1 721 1302 1 721 1352 1 721 1352 1 721 .I 722 .T Information Transfer Limitations of Titles of Chemical Documents .A Bottle, R.R. Seeley, C.R. .W Some methods of estimating the minimum amounts of information in a document not retrievable through its title are discussed. An analysis of the information transferred by different types of keywords is helpful in planning search strategies, e.g., 30% of chemical substances mentioned in journal articles are not discernable in their titles even when broad class names are used as synonyms. Patents have considerably less informative titles than journal articles. In nuclear science, report titles are also less informative than those of journal articles, but the proportion of reports with completely uninformative titles is now only 10% of the 1957 value. Titles in chemistry are more informative than those in most other fields, but the use of alerting and other services based on titles requires a good understanding of the underlying information transfer principles. .X 18 1 722 34 1 722 38 2 722 49 1 722 52 2 722 53 1 722 59 1 722 88 1 722 89 1 722 91 1 722 150 2 722 164 1 722 202 1 722 213 1 722 224 1 722 243 1 722 384 1 722 421 1 722 429 3 722 465 1 722 466 1 722 490 1 722 491 1 722 506 1 722 507 1 722 510 2 722 512 1 722 513 2 722 560 1 722 582 3 722 588 1 722 589 4 722 591 1 722 595 1 722 603 4 722 604 1 722 613 1 722 614 1 722 618 1 722 622 1 722 623 1 722 629 1 722 633 1 722 639 1 722 657 1 722 659 1 722 676 1 722 685 1 722 686 1 722 691 1 722 711 1 722 721 1 722 722 7 722 723 1 722 724 1 722 725 1 722 726 1 722 728 1 722 730 1 722 731 1 722 732 1 722 770 1 722 776 1 722 809 1 722 810 1 722 813 1 722 814 1 722 820 1 722 822 1 722 828 1 722 830 1 722 870 1 722 879 1 722 958 1 722 987 1 722 988 1 722 1030 1 722 1091 1 722 1144 1 722 1195 2 722 1208 1 722 1256 1 722 1283 1 722 1293 1 722 1298 1 722 1299 1 722 1302 1 722 1363 1 722 1366 1 722 1367 1 722 1368 1 722 1396 1 722 1421 1 722 1421 1 722 .I 723 .T The Development, Cost, and Impact of a Current Awareness Service in an Industrial Town .A Bowman, C.M. Brown, M.T. .W The development of a current awareness system in The Dow Chemical Company has resulted in four established services, one based on internal information and the other three on Chemical Abstracts. In addition several other services are now being tried or considered. The operation of such a service is expensive, but the willingness of the user to pay for it and responses to a survey indicate that it is a useful and worthwhile tool to the scientist and engineer. The use of such services also has a significant effect on other established information services. .X 18 2 723 34 1 723 49 1 723 53 1 723 59 1 723 74 1 723 83 1 723 125 1 723 145 1 723 161 1 723 164 1 723 197 1 723 202 1 723 211 1 723 213 1 723 224 1 723 243 1 723 245 1 723 273 1 723 279 1 723 288 1 723 331 1 723 375 1 723 378 1 723 381 2 723 408 1 723 421 1 723 440 1 723 445 1 723 452 1 723 453 1 723 454 1 723 465 1 723 466 1 723 467 1 723 468 1 723 472 1 723 490 3 723 491 1 723 495 1 723 496 1 723 503 1 723 506 3 723 507 2 723 508 1 723 510 1 723 511 1 723 512 2 723 514 1 723 517 1 723 520 1 723 521 1 723 523 1 723 524 1 723 526 1 723 528 1 723 554 1 723 576 1 723 579 1 723 580 1 723 591 3 723 592 1 723 593 1 723 594 1 723 595 2 723 596 1 723 597 1 723 599 1 723 600 1 723 603 2 723 604 3 723 606 1 723 609 1 723 612 1 723 619 1 723 622 2 723 623 2 723 629 2 723 631 1 723 632 1 723 633 2 723 639 1 723 659 1 723 676 1 723 688 1 723 699 1 723 700 1 723 705 1 723 707 1 723 711 1 723 722 1 723 723 7 723 724 2 723 726 2 723 727 1 723 728 2 723 729 1 723 730 3 723 731 2 723 732 1 723 754 1 723 801 1 723 805 1 723 806 1 723 809 1 723 810 1 723 812 1 723 813 2 723 814 2 723 820 2 723 822 2 723 828 1 723 834 1 723 836 1 723 860 1 723 866 2 723 867 1 723 870 2 723 873 1 723 879 1 723 925 1 723 956 1 723 957 1 723 976 1 723 989 1 723 1078 1 723 1089 1 723 1091 2 723 1143 1 723 1148 1 723 1227 1 723 1264 1 723 1283 1 723 1298 2 723 1299 2 723 1302 1 723 1303 1 723 1317 1 723 1327 1 723 1353 1 723 1359 1 723 1360 1 723 1363 1 723 1366 2 723 1367 2 723 1368 2 723 1396 2 723 1400 1 723 1405 1 723 1410 1 723 1424 1 723 1424 1 723 .I 724 .T Document Access .A Weil, B.H. .W Long-range, copies of needed documents will be rapidly and inexpensively supplied to users in libraries or at their desks by querying an electronic network linking document sources (central libraries and publishers). In the interim, local libraries will slowly progress through increased dependence on local holdings of microfilm to development of and dependence on regional, national, and discipline networks for access to most of the documents desired. These developments will depend, however, on resolution of the copyright problem by mechanisms that will fairly remunerate the copyright owners. As background, and because radical change is not expected overnight, the paper also reviews conventional and sophisticated storage systems, including microfilm, facsimile, and video; copyright aspects; costs; need for speed; other user considerations; and standards. .X 74 1 724 83 1 724 91 1 724 161 1 724 197 1 724 245 1 724 273 1 724 279 1 724 288 1 724 331 1 724 375 1 724 381 1 724 408 1 724 429 1 724 445 1 724 454 1 724 472 1 724 490 1 724 496 1 724 503 1 724 506 1 724 507 1 724 513 1 724 554 1 724 579 1 724 582 1 724 588 1 724 589 1 724 591 2 724 592 1 724 593 1 724 594 1 724 595 1 724 596 1 724 597 1 724 599 1 724 600 1 724 603 2 724 604 1 724 606 1 724 613 1 724 614 1 724 618 1 724 657 1 724 672 1 724 685 1 724 686 1 724 691 1 724 721 2 724 722 1 724 723 2 724 724 6 724 725 1 724 801 1 724 805 1 724 806 1 724 834 1 724 836 1 724 860 1 724 866 1 724 867 1 724 925 1 724 956 1 724 957 1 724 958 1 724 976 1 724 987 1 724 988 1 724 989 1 724 1014 1 724 1082 1 724 1148 1 724 1208 1 724 1227 1 724 1290 1 724 1293 1 724 1298 1 724 1299 1 724 1302 1 724 1317 1 724 1327 1 724 1352 1 724 1353 1 724 1359 1 724 1360 1 724 1400 1 724 1405 1 724 1410 1 724 1424 1 724 1424 1 724 .I 725 .T An Inquiry on New Forms of Primary Publications .A Moore, J.A. .W Some of the problems associated with present journal publications practices are discussed. These are attributed to the fact that as the literature has expanded, the needs of both authors and readers are no longer being met by printing and distributing all of the material accepted to all subscribers. A two-edition system is proposed, with short versions of papers in a broad circulation issue and expanded versions, including full details and discussion, in library-circulation microfilm editions. Reactions of chemists to such a system are discussed. It is recommended that two-edition journals be developed in a evolutionary way by increasing use of the ACS mcirofilm editions for sections of articles and for supplementary documents to accompany communications. .X 91 2 725 375 1 725 406 1 725 429 1 725 513 2 725 582 1 725 588 1 725 589 1 725 603 1 725 607 1 725 613 1 725 614 1 725 618 1 725 657 1 725 685 3 725 686 4 725 691 3 725 721 2 725 722 1 725 724 1 725 725 6 725 765 1 725 770 1 725 776 1 725 958 1 725 987 1 725 988 1 725 1057 1 725 1208 2 725 1209 1 725 1290 2 725 1293 1 725 1302 1 725 1364 1 725 1364 1 725 .I 726 .T Evaluation of the Database CA Condensates Compared with Chemical Titles .A Hansen, Inge Berg .W The performance of CA Condensates and Chemical Titles based on analysis of precision and "relative recall CT/CC" for a collection of 46 search profiles was studied over a period of one year..

Park, M.K. .W The academic users of the bibliographic information dissemination center were surveyed to determine the ways in which the search results were being used, the impact which the services had had on professional activities such as research and instruction, the interface between the computer-based retrieval and the traditional form of library resources, and the effect of document overlap between different data bases. The survey results indicate that the dissemination services are being used by a large portion of the faculty and the graduate students within the University System of Georgia, with an average of 3 to 5 people seeing the bibliography from each search question. Over 97% of the respondees indicated some or substantial contribution to their professional activities, with the major contributions being a savings or more efficient use of time and broadened subject coverage. The users indicated several changes in library use habits as a result of the computer-based searches, among them more direct access to the primary literature and increased use of library resources as they had been made aware of new sources and media - e.g., microforms. Percentage responses on these and related topics are presented. .X 4 1 728 18 2 728 34 1 728 49 1 728 53 1 728 59 1 728 65 1 728 124 2 728 125 1 728 127 1 728 129 1 728 145 1 728 162 1 728 164 1 728 190 1 728 191 2 728 197 1 728 202 1 728 211 2 728 213 1 728 214 1 728 218 1 728 224 1 728 243 2 728 307 1 728 312 1 728 330 1 728 378 2 728 421 1 728 440 1 728 450 1 728 451 1 728 452 2 728 453 1 728 459 2 728 465 1 728 466 1 728 467 1 728 468 2 728 475 1 728 484 1 728 490 1 728 491 1 728 492 1 728 495 1 728 506 2 728 507 1 728 508 2 728 510 1 728 511 2 728 512 3 728 514 3 728 517 1 728 518 1 728 520 2 728 521 1 728 523 2 728 524 2 728 525 1 728 526 2 728 528 1 728 529 1 728 530 1 728 532 1 728 533 1 728 534 1 728 546 1 728 553 1 728 576 1 728 579 1 728 580 2 728 591 1 728 594 3 728 595 1 728 602 1 728 603 2 728 604 4 728 606 1 728 609 2 728 610 1 728 611 2 728 612 2 728 619 1 728 622 3 728 623 2 728 625 1 728 626 1 728 629 2 728 630 1 728 631 1 728 632 1 728 633 2 728 636 1 728 637 1 728 639 1 728 642 1 728 648 1 728 650 1 728 659 1 728 676 1 728 692 1 728 696 2 728 699 2 728 700 1 728 703 1 728 705 3 728 707 1 728 708 1 728 711 1 728 722 1 728 723 2 728 726 3 728 727 2 728 728 7 728 729 2 728 730 2 728 731 3 728 732 2 728 733 2 728 734 1 728 736 1 728 738 1 728 739 1 728 740 1 728 741 1 728 742 1 728 743 1 728 744 1 728 754 1 728 755 1 728 770 1 728 776 1 728 791 1 728 809 1 728 810 1 728 812 1 728 813 2 728 814 2 728 820 3 728 822 2 728 826 1 728 827 1 728 828 1 728 866 1 728 870 2 728 873 1 728 879 2 728 883 1 728 981 1 728 1004 1 728 1035 1 728 1078 2 728 1089 2 728 1091 3 728 1143 1 728 1207 1 728 1264 2 728 1283 1 728 1284 1 728 1297 1 728 1298 1 728 1299 1 728 1302 1 728 1303 4 728 1356 1 728 1363 1 728 1364 1 728 1366 2 728 1367 2 728 1368 3 728 1370 1 728 1372 1 728 1373 1 728 1374 1 728 1375 1 728 1376 1 728 1377 1 728 1396 2 728 1396 2 728 .I 729 .T An Indexing Coverage Study of Toxicological Literature .A Montgomery, R.R. .W A data base of 1873 citations dated 1960-1969 was obtained through an author survey of the members of the Society of Toxicology.

Rossiter, B.N. Rowland, J.F.B. .W The Index Chemicus Registry System (ICRS) is the machine-readable equivalent of Current Abstracts in Chemistry & Index Chemicus (CAC & IC). In an earlier paper, we described the development of an experimental selective-dissemination-of-information (SDI) service based on these tapes. A detailed description of the techniques of profile construction for searching a Wiswesser Line Notation (WLN) structure file is given in this earlier paper. The present paper describes the evaluation of the SDI service in terms both of quantitative measures of retrieval performance, coverage and currency, and also of user reactions to the service, as expressed in their replies to a questionnaire. Failure analysis techniques were used to identify the reasons for retrieval failures and possible methods for improving retrieval performance. A fuller description of the evaluation has been published in report form. .X 10 1 731 18 2 731 34 1 731 49 1 731 53 1 731 59 1 731 124 1 731 125 1 731 127 1 731 129 1 731 145 1 731 164 1 731 190 2 731 191 1 731 197 1 731 202 1 731 211 2 731 213 1 731 214 1 731 218 1 731 224 1 731 225 1 731 243 2 731 244 1 731 304 1 731 305 1 731 306 1 731 307 1 731 330 1 731 358 1 731 378 2 731 385 1 731 394 1 731 421 1 731 433 1 731 440 1 731 450 1 731 451 1 731 452 2 731 453 1 731 459 2 731 465 1 731 466 1 731 467 1 731 468 2 731 484 1 731 490 1 731 491 1 731 492 1 731 495 1 731 506 2 731 507 1 731 508 2 731 510 1 731 511 2 731 512 3 731 514 2 731 517 1 731 518 1 731 520 2 731 521 1 731 523 2 731 524 2 731 525 1 731 526 2 731 528 1 731 529 1 731 530 1 731 534 2 731 546 1 731 553 1 731 576 1 731 579 1 731 580 1 731 591 1 731 594 1 731 595 1 731 603 2 731 604 3 731 606 1 731 609 2 731 610 1 731 611 1 731 612 2 731 619 1 731 622 2 731 623 2 731 625 1 731 626 1 731 629 2 731 630 1 731 631 1 731 632 1 731 633 2 731 636 1 731 637 1 731 639 1 731 642 1 731 648 1 731 650 1 731 659 1 731 676 1 731 692 1 731 696 1 731 699 2 731 700 2 731 702 1 731 703 1 731 705 2 731 707 1 731 708 1 731 709 1 731 711 1 731 722 1 731 723 2 731 726 3 731 727 2 731 728 3 731 729 1 731 730 2 731 731 5 731 732 3 731 733 1 731 734 1 731 736 1 731 738 2 731 739 1 731 740 1 731 741 1 731 742 1 731 743 1 731 744 1 731 754 1 731 755 1 731 809 1 731 810 1 731 812 1 731 813 2 731 814 2 731 817 1 731 820 4 731 822 2 731 823 1 731 825 1 731 826 2 731 827 2 731 828 2 731 866 1 731 870 2 731 873 1 731 879 2 731 883 1 731 947 1 731 948 1 731 1004 1 731 1017 1 731 1035 1 731 1058 1 731 1078 2 731 1089 2 731 1091 3 731 1143 1 731 1146 1 731 1207 1 731 1230 1 731 1257 1 731 1264 2 731 1283 1 731 1297 1 731 1298 1 731 1299 1 731 1302 1 731 1303 2 731 1356 1 731 1363 1 731 1364 1 731 1366 2 731 1367 2 731 1368 3 731 1370 1 731 1372 1 731 1373 1 731 1374 1 731 1375 1 731 1376 1 731 1377 1 731 1390 1 731 1396 2 731 1396 2 731 .I 732 .T Computer Search Center Statistics on Users and Data Bases .A Schipma, Peter B. .W Statistics gathered over five years of operation by IIT Research Institute's Computer Search Center are summarized for profile terms and lists, use of truncation modes, use of logic operators, some characteristics of CA Condensates, etc.. .X 10 1 732 18 2 732 34 1 732 49 1 732 53 1 732 59 1 732 124 1 732 127 2 732 129 1 732 145 1 732 164 1 732 190 2 732 191 1 732 197 1 732 202 1 732 211 1 732 213 1 732 214 1 732 218 1 732 224 1 732 225 1 732 243 2 732 244 1 732 304 1 732 305 1 732 306 1 732 307 1 732 330 1 732 357 1 732 358 1 732 376 1 732 378 1 732 385 1 732 394 1 732 421 1 732 433 1 732 450 1 732 451 1 732 452 1 732 459 3 732 465 1 732 466 1 732 468 1 732 484 1 732 490 1 732 491 1 732 492 1 732 506 1 732 507 1 732 508 1 732 510 1 732 511 1 732 512 2 732 514 1 732 518 1 732 520 1 732 523 1 732 524 2 732 525 2 732 526 1 732 527 1 732 529 2 732 530 2 732 534 3 732 546 1 732 553 1 732 579 1 732 591 1 732 594 1 732 595 1 732 603 2 732 604 2 732 606 1 732 609 1 732 610 1 732 611 1 732 612 1 732 622 1 732 623 1 732 625 1 732 626 1 732 629 1 732 630 1 732 633 2 732 635 1 732 636 2 732 637 2 732 639 1 732 642 2 732 648 1 732 650 1 732 659 1 732 676 1 732 692 2 732 696 1 732 699 1 732 702 2 732 703 3 732 705 1 732 708 1 732 711 1 732 722 1 732 723 1 732 726 2 732 727 1 732 728 2 732 730 2 732 731 3 732 732 5 732 733 2 732 734 2 732 736 2 732 738 1 732 739 1 732 740 1 732 741 1 732 742 1 732 743 1 732 744 1 732 755 1 732 809 1 732 810 1 732 813 1 732 814 1 732 817 1 732 820 3 732 822 1 732 823 1 732 825 1 732 826 3 732 827 3 732 828 2 732 870 1 732 877 1 732 879 3 732 883 1 732 947 1 732 948 1 732 1004 1 732 1017 1 732 1035 1 732 1058 1 732 1078 1 732 1089 1 732 1091 2 732 1146 1 732 1207 1 732 1230 1 732 1257 1 732 1264 1 732 1283 1 732 1297 1 732 1298 1 732 1299 1 732 1303 1 732 1356 1 732 1363 1 732 1364 1 732 1366 1 732 1367 1 732 1368 2 732 1370 2 732 1372 2 732 1373 1 732 1374 1 732 1375 1 732 1376 1 732 1377 1 732 1383 1 732 1390 1 732 1396 2 732 1396 2 732 .I 733 .T Profiling, the Key to Successful Information retrieval .A O'Dononue, C.

Barrett, M.A. .W The purpose of this paper is to present up-to-date material to indicate some of the changes that have taken place during and since World War II. For purposes of comparison, the work of Patterson and Sheppard is represented in abbreviated form in Tables 1 and 2. The results of our own study are presented as Tables 3 and 4. The reader can draw several obvious conclusions. About half of all the citations in Tables 3 and 4 are to papers published in the 1950's. This, in part, reflects the present highly vigorous state of chemical investigation and its rapid expansion in recent years. Another striking fact is that in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, 39.5% of the citations are to previous work published in the journal itself. In Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, the percentage of self citations is 21.3. To some extent this may result from the fact that writers who habitually publish in a particular journal tend to cite their own work. However, it seems to reflect to a greater degree the dominance of these journals in their respective fields. More than 38% of the citations in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry are to various American Chemical Society publications. In the Journal of the American Chemical Society more than 45% of the citations are to Society publications. .X 33 1 735 36 1 735 37 1 735 41 1 735 76 1 735 89 3 735 97 1 735 102 1 735 111 1 735 112 1 735 163 1 735 183 2 735 184 2 735 193 2 735 198 3 735 199 1 735 201 1 735 203 1 735 204 1 735 210 1 735 225 1 735 255 1 735 269 1 735 373 1 735 379 1 735 473 1 735 543 1 735 545 1 735 552 2 735 587 1 735 588 1 735 592 1 735 605 1 735 613 1 735 614 2 735 616 1 735 638 2 735 685 1 735 716 1 735 735 7 735 747 1 735 750 1 735 753 1 735 766 2 735 767 1 735 775 2 735 782 1 735 784 3 735 788 1 735 789 1 735 793 1 735 800 1 735 808 1 735 821 1 735 828 1 735 905 1 735 907 1 735 952 1 735 953 1 735 977 1 735 983 1 735 1016 1 735 1023 1 735 1030 1 735 1055 2 735 1087 2 735 1089 1 735 1090 1 735 1135 1 735 1209 1 735 1210 1 735 1260 2 735 1275 4 735 1276 2 735 1278 1 735 1280 1 735 1283 1 735 1285 2 735 1286 1 735 1287 1 735 1290 1 735 1298 1 735 1302 3 735 1335 1 735 1355 1 735 1390 1 735 1397 2 735 1417 1 735 1428 1 735 1432 2 735 1432 2 735 .I 736 .T Overview of the NAS/NRC Conference on Large Data Bases .A Williams, M.E. .W In 1971 the Committee on Chemical Information of the National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, recognized the problem of large data bases and accordingly created a subcommittee to investigate the problem and its impact on chemical information. The first task of the Large Data Base Subcommittee was to survey organizations that generate and/or process large data bases. Giering has indicated several different ways in which one can view a data base as being large. It can be large in terms of having a large number of entries or records (or bibliographic references). It can be large in the sense of having a large number of fields or data elements, which implies a degree of complexity. It can be thought of as large in the sense of having a large number of searchable or selectable elements, and it also can be large in the most readily understandable sense of having a large number of characters in storage. .X 18 1 736 120 1 736 124 2 736 125 1 736 127 3 736 129 2 736 145 1 736 190 1 736 191 1 736 197 2 736 211 1 736 214 1 736 218 1 736 243 1 736 307 1 736 330 1 736 357 1 736 363 1 736 376 1 736 378 1 736 382 1 736 432 1 736 450 1 736 451 1 736 452 1 736 459 3 736 460 1 736 461 1 736 468 1 736 484 1 736 492 1 736 506 1 736 508 1 736 511 1 736 512 1 736 514 1 736 518 1 736 520 1 736 523 1 736 524 2 736 525 2 736 526 1 736 527 1 736 529 2 736 530 2 736 534 2 736 546 1 736 553 1 736 579 1 736 580 1 736 594 1 736 603 1 736 604 1 736 606 1 736 609 1 736 610 1 736 611 1 736 612 1 736 622 1 736 625 1 736 626 1 736 630 1 736 633 1 736 634 1 736 635 1 736 636 2 736 637 2 736 642 4 736 643 2 736 644 1 736 645 1 736 646 1 736 648 2 736 649 1 736 650 2 736 692 1 736 696 2 736 699 1 736 702 1 736 703 2 736 705 2 736 708 2 736 726 1 736 727 1 736 728 1 736 730 1 736 731 1 736 732 2 736 733 2 736 734 3 736 736 5 736 737 1 736 738 2 736 739 2 736 740 1 736 741 2 736 742 2 736 743 2 736 744 1 736 755 1 736 795 1 736 820 1 736 826 3 736 827 2 736 877 1 736 879 2 736 883 2 736 1004 1 736 1035 1 736 1078 1 736 1089 1 736 1091 1 736 1146 1 736 1207 1 736 1264 1 736 1297 1 736 1303 1 736 1356 1 736 1364 1 736 1368 1 736 1370 2 736 1372 2 736 1373 1 736 1374 3 736 1375 2 736 1376 2 736 1377 1 736 1383 1 736 1396 1 736 1396 1 736 .I 737 .T The Large Data Base File Structure Dilemma .A Lefkovitz, D. .W This paper first presents a brief tutorial on the principal random file organization methods for handling two major applications - Transaction oriented systems and Information storage and retrieval systems. It then addresses a particular large data base dilemma, not satisfactorily resolved by any of these methods, and which is currently under active investigation. Two approaches to a solution are described. One is called the hybrid inverted list; the other is based upon an old technique called super-imposed coding. The former has been implemented and has recently been installed in an operational system. Some statistics related to file characteristics in this application are provided, but operational cost and performance statistics are not yet available. .X 62 1 737 125 1 737 127 2 737 129 1 737 310 1 737 318 1 737 363 2 737 409 1 737 432 1 737 460 1 737 461 1 737 462 1 737 580 1 737 604 1 737 622 1 737 642 1 737 643 2 737 644 2 737 645 1 737 646 1 737 649 1 737 650 1 737 670 1 737 690 1 737 699 2 737 700 2 737 708 2 737 736 1 737 737 5 737 738 1 737 739 1 737 741 1 737 853 1 737 875 1 737 883 1 737 1044 1 737 1274 1 737 1374 1 737 1376 1 737 1419 1 737 1419 1 737 .I 738 .T Substructure Searching of Computer-Readable Chemical Abstracts Service Ninth Collective Index Nomenclature Files .A Fisanick, W. Mitchell, L.D. Scott, J.A. Vander Stouw, G.G. .W The increasing availability of computer-readable files of chemical nomenclature and of programs for text searching has led to the development of methods for performing substructure searches in which CA nomenclature terms are used as search terms. Substructure searches on CA Index nomenclature can often result in very high recall relative to topological searches, as is shown by experimental results achieved on a variety of searches. Many data bases which contain CA Index nomenclature also contain nonsubstance data. Thus, searching of substance and nonsubstance data can often be done within a single search of a file with both high recall and relevancy. Profile construction aids prepared by CAS make it possible for persons without sophisticated nomenclature backgrounds to construct nomenclature profiles for many questions. .X 116 1 738 117 1 738 124 1 738 125 1 738 127 2 738 129 2 738 190 1 738 191 1 738 197 1 738 211 1 738 214 1 738 218 1 738 243 1 738 254 1 738 307 1 738 327 1 738 330 1 738 363 1 738 378 1 738 432 1 738 450 1 738 451 1 738 452 1 738 459 1 738 460 1 738 461 1 738 468 1 738 484 1 738 492 1 738 508 1 738 511 1 738 512 1 738 514 1 738 518 1 738 520 1 738 523 1 738 524 1 738 525 1 738 526 1 738 529 1 738 530 1 738 534 1 738 546 1 738 553 1 738 579 1 738 580 1 738 594 1 738 603 1 738 604 1 738 606 1 738 609 1 738 610 1 738 611 1 738 612 1 738 622 1 738 625 1 738 626 1 738 630 1 738 636 1 738 637 1 738 641 1 738 642 2 738 643 1 738 644 1 738 645 1 738 646 1 738 648 1 738 649 1 738 650 2 738 668 1 738 670 1 738 671 1 738 673 1 738 677 1 738 678 1 738 679 1 738 682 1 738 689 1 738 690 1 738 692 1 738 693 1 738 694 1 738 695 1 738 696 1 738 698 1 738 699 2 738 700 2 738 701 1 738 702 2 738 703 1 738 704 1 738 705 1 738 706 1 738 707 2 738 708 2 738 709 2 738 710 1 738 726 1 738 727 1 738 728 1 738 730 1 738 731 2 738 732 1 738 733 2 738 734 2 738 736 2 738 737 1 738 738 8 738 739 2 738 740 1 738 741 3 738 742 2 738 743 1 738 744 1 738 755 1 738 820 1 738 826 1 738 827 1 738 833 1 738 879 1 738 883 1 738 1004 1 738 1026 1 738 1035 1 738 1072 1 738 1078 1 738 1089 1 738 1091 1 738 1207 1 738 1264 1 738 1292 1 738 1297 1 738 1303 1 738 1356 1 738 1364 1 738 1368 1 738 1370 1 738 1372 1 738 1373 1 738 1374 2 738 1375 1 738 1376 2 738 1377 1 738 1448 1 738 1452 1 738 1452 1 738 .I 739 .T A Rapid Generalized Minicomputer Text Search System Incorporating Algebraic Entry of Boolean Strategies .A Isenhour, T.

An attempt was made to determine the background training of the persons performing the searches, who the end users were, the growth trend, the funding, the data bases used, and the value to the users.. Of the 73 replies, 49.3% indicated use of such services, while 24.6% were planning to use them primarily by faculty and graduate students.. Of those reporting, 83.3% used searchers with a background in library or information science; 47.2% had a background in scientific discipline..Two or more on-line services were used by 72.2%..

A. .W A basic idea suggested in this paper is that a linguistic hedge such as very, more or less, much, essentially, slightly, etc. may be viewed as an operator which acts on the fuzzy set representing the meaning of its operand.. For example, in the case of the composite term very tall man, the operator very acts on the fuzzy meaning of the term tall man.. To represent a hedge as an operator, it is convenient to define several elementary operations on fuzzy sets from which more complicated operations may be built up by combination or composition.. In this way, an approximate representation for a hedge can be expressed in terms of such operations as complementation, intersection, concentration, dilation, contrast intensification, fuzzification, accentuation, etc.. Two categories of hedges are considered.. In the case of hedges of Type I, e.g., very, much, more or less, slightly, etc., the hedge can be approximated by an operator acting on a single fuzzy set.. In the case of hedges of Type II, e.g., technically, essentially, practically, etc., the effect of the hedge is more complicated, requiring a description of the manner in which the components of its operand are modified.. If, in addition, the characterization of a hedge requires a consideration of a metric or proximity relation in the space of its operand, then the hedge is said to be of Type IP or IIP, depending on whether it falls into category I or II.. The approach is illustrated by constructing operator representations for several relatively simple hedges such as very, more or less, much, slightly, etc.. More complicated hedges whose effect is strongly context-dependent, require the use of a fuzzy-algorithmic mode of characterization which is more qualitative in nature than the approach described in the present paper.. .X 61 1 745 175 2 745 310 1 745 318 1 745 397 3 745 417 3 745 430 4 745 443 4 745 455 6 745 464 3 745 745 6 745 1204 3 745 1398 4 745 1427 3 745 1427 3 745 .I 746 .T Subject Indexes and Automatic Document Retrieval .A Lynch, Michael F. .W Index entries from the subject indexes to CA can, in general, be converted to 'normal' or title-like phrases by applying simple tests to the positions of prepositions and conjunctions in the entries.. Other, more complex, entries can be transformed after somewhat deeper analysis.. These manipulations are a necessary preliminary step to the use of the subject-index language in retrieval..A scheme is outlined for automatically compiling and editing subject indexes by transforming descriptive phrases with regular structure and vocabulary.. These transformations, based on the formal structure of language, are shown to be admirably suited to computer manipulation.. .X 34 1 746 53 1 746 160 2 746 168 1 746 252 1 746 258 1 746 326 1 746 477 1 746 478 1 746 480 2 746 558 1 746 565 1 746 600 1 746 653 1 746 674 1 746 680 1 746 711 1 746 715 1 746 746 6 746 773 1 746 781 1 746 817 1 746 825 1 746 901 1 746 1215 2 746 1230 1 746 1394 1 746 1422 1 746 1422 1 746 .I 747 .T The Law of Constant Citation for Scientific Literature .A Gomperts, M.

But present formulations of the Bradford distribution demand penetrating search for peripheral papers and tedious computation in application.. The present paper shows that the Bradford distribution is closely related to the Zipf distribution.. It requires data on only the most productive journals, is mathematically simple and amenable to graphical methods if a proposed idea of the 'completeness' of a search is accepted.. For comparability of results, certain conditions, which include a specified minimum level of productivity of journals, need to be standardized.. A standard form is suggested.. It is found, however, that a modified form of the Bradford distribution is required when Bradford-type collections of journals are merged into large collections, when 'saturation' of the most productive journals occurs.. .X 19 1 748 24 1 748 31 1 748 33 1 748 36 1 748 37 1 748 39 1 748 40 1 748 44 1 748 47 1 748 48 1 748 49 1 748 54 1 748 55 2 748 57 2 748 62 1 748 65 1 748 66 1 748 71 1 748 72 1 748 73 1 748 74 1 748 75 2 748 76 2 748 77 1 748 78 1 748 79 1 748 81 2 748 82 1 748 83 1 748 86 1 748 88 1 748 97 1 748 102 2 748 103 2 748 128 1 748 137 1 748 153 1 748 156 1 748 162 1 748 167 2 748 181 1 748 184 1 748 189 1 748 193 1 748 195 1 748 201 2 748 203 1 748 204 1 748 205 1 748 206 1 748 207 1 748 208 1 748 210 2 748 211 1 748 212 1 748 217 1 748 219 1 748 221 1 748 225 1 748 233 4 748 245 1 748 253 1 748 267 2 748 277 1 748 278 1 748 279 2 748 280 2 748 313 1 748 314 1 748 330 1 748 359 10 748 373 1 748 377 1 748 378 1 748 379 5 748 386 1 748 395 3 748 398 1 748 415 1 748 416 1 748 465 1 748 475 1 748 480 1 748 486 1 748 505 3 748 515 1 748 560 1 748 573 3 748 587 1 748 614 3 748 616 1 748 618 2 748 623 1 748 625 1 748 632 1 748 634 1 748 635 3 748 638 2 748 651 1 748 658 1 748 667 2 748 714 1 748 716 1 748 720 1 748 729 1 748 744 2 748 748 31 748 749 1 748 750 1 748 751 7 748 753 1 748 756 2 748 757 2 748 759 3 748 764 1 748 765 8 748 767 3 748 775 1 748 777 1 748 778 13 748 782 2 748 785 1 748 786 3 748 787 6 748 788 2 748 789 2 748 791 8 748 792 2 748 793 2 748 800 3 748 804 2 748 805 1 748 811 1 748 821 1 748 831 2 748 837 1 748 889 2 748 891 1 748 893 5 748 905 1 748 925 3 748 948 1 748 952 3 748 953 1 748 983 1 748 984 1 748 1016 3 748 1019 2 748 1030 1 748 1061 1 748 1071 1 748 1081 2 748 1082 2 748 1083 7 748 1085 8 748 1086 5 748 1087 1 748 1090 1 748 1114 1 748 1122 1 748 1123 1 748 1173 1 748 1182 5 748 1200 1 748 1201 3 748 1203 1 748 1210 1 748 1254 1 748 1256 1 748 1260 1 748 1274 1 748 1275 2 748 1277 1 748 1278 3 748 1279 1 748 1280 1 748 1287 1 748 1301 1 748 1302 4 748 1304 1 748 1313 1 748 1338 1 748 1341 1 748 1344 1 748 1347 1 748 1361 1 748 1369 1 748 1373 1 748 1375 1 748 1376 1 748 1380 1 748 1400 1 748 1401 1 748 1404 1 748 1417 1 748 1418 4 748 1422 1 748 1428 1 748 1444 1 748 1444 1 748 .I 749 .T Statistical Bibliography or Bibliometrics? .A Pritchard, A. .W The term statistical bibliography seems to have been first used by E. Wyndham Hulme in 1922 when he delivered two lectures as the Sandars Reader in bibliography at the University of Cambridge. Subsequently the lectures were published as a book. Although the debt has never been explicitly recognized by means of citations, Hulme anticipated modern work on the history of science. He used the term to mean the illumination of the processes of science and technology by means of counting documents. Hulme both summarized the results of Cole and Eales and produced original work on the growth of UK patents (relating these to social progress in the UK) and on the changes displayed in the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature (relating changes in subject and country production of literature to international developments). .X 19 1 749 37 1 749 39 2 749 40 1 749 47 1 749 88 1 749 97 1 749 102 1 749 103 1 749 162 2 749 233 1 749 253 1 749 313 1 749 359 1 749 377 1 749 379 2 749 395 1 749 505 1 749 560 1 749 573 1 749 583 1 749 618 1 749 632 2 749 635 1 749 667 1 749 748 1 749 749 6 749 751 1 749 764 1 749 765 2 749 770 1 749 777 1 749 778 1 749 782 1 749 804 1 749 805 1 749 893 2 749 914 1 749 952 1 749 1016 1 749 1061 1 749 1076 1 749 1085 1 749 1086 1 749 1087 1 749 1182 1 749 1200 1 749 1274 1 749 1277 1 749 1278 1 749 1280 1 749 1287 1 749 1301 1 749 1302 1 749 1304 1 749 1313 1 749 1338 1 749 1344 1 749 1347 1 749 1380 2 749 1428 2 749 1444 1 749 1444 1 749 .I 750 .T The Effect of Growth on the Obsolescence of Semiconductor Physics Literature .A Oliver, Merrill R. .W Semiconductor physics literature is studied in order to investigate recent hypotheses relating obsolescence to the growth in periodical literature and the growth in the number of contributing scientists..

The idea of this was certainly not new; Fairthorne had more than implied it in his discussions on OBNA and ABNO systems, i.e. Only-But-Not-All (high precision) and All-But-Not- Only (high recall). However, it was one of the propositions arising from Cranfield I which met with strong opposition and was quite rightly attacked. In reply to the critical review by Swanson, I had to agree that the simple hypothesis required modification. By the following year test results coming from the experiments by Salton and from Cranfield II made further modification necessary, and the hypothesis was finally put forward to read as follows: 'Within a single system, assuming that a sequence of subsearches for a particular question is made in the logical order of expected decreasing precision, and the requirements are those stated in the question, there is an inverse relationship between recall and precision, if the results of a number of different searches are averaged. This, it will be noted, has four qualifications to the basic statement. .X 28 1 752 57 1 752 73 3 752 75 1 752 79 1 752 134 1 752 146 1 752 157 1 752 175 2 752 194 1 752 224 1 752 274 1 752 298 1 752 315 1 752 381 2 752 382 1 752 389 3 752 390 4 752 419 1 752 441 1 752 445 1 752 447 1 752 449 1 752 456 1 752 458 2 752 468 1 752 509 1 752 514 3 752 518 1 752 531 1 752 554 1 752 575 2 752 577 2 752 579 1 752 591 1 752 595 2 752 599 1 752 603 1 752 615 2 752 619 1 752 620 1 752 621 1 752 625 3 752 630 1 752 634 1 752 639 1 752 643 1 752 644 2 752 646 1 752 649 2 752 652 1 752 660 2 752 752 11 752 754 1 752 780 5 752 785 4 752 795 1 752 806 1 752 812 3 752 820 1 752 822 2 752 824 1 752 827 1 752 829 2 752 830 1 752 895 2 752 907 1 752 956 1 752 1044 1 752 1091 1 752 1255 2 752 1282 4 752 1294 1 752 1307 1 752 1327 1 752 1327 1 752 .I 753 .T Source of Citations and References for Analysis Purposes: A Comparative Assessment .A Brittain, J.

J. .A Jones, Sparck K. .W Many retrieval experiments are intended to discover ways of improving performance, taking the results obtained with some particular technique as a baseline.. The fact that substantial alterations to a system often have little or no effect on particular collections is puzzling.. This may be due to the initially poor separation of relevant and non-relevant documents.. The paper presents a procedure for characterizing this separation for the collection, which can be used to show whether proposed modifications of the base system are likely to be useful.. .X 18 1 754 51 1 754 57 1 754 61 1 754 69 1 754 71 1 754 73 1 754 77 1 754 79 1 754 124 1 754 125 2 754 145 1 754 165 1 754 168 1 754 175 2 754 176 1 754 211 1 754 274 2 754 315 1 754 320 1 754 378 1 754 381 1 754 382 1 754 389 1 754 390 2 754 440 1 754 445 1 754 448 2 754 449 1 754 452 2 754 453 1 754 458 1 754 459 1 754 467 1 754 468 1 754 480 1 754 483 1 754 484 2 754 486 1 754 488 1 754 491 1 754 493 1 754 495 1 754 503 1 754 506 1 754 507 1 754 508 1 754 509 2 754 510 1 754 511 2 754 512 2 754 514 1 754 516 1 754 517 2 754 518 1 754 520 2 754 521 2 754 522 2 754 523 2 754 524 1 754 526 3 754 527 2 754 528 3 754 529 1 754 531 1 754 546 1 754 565 1 754 566 1 754 575 1 754 576 1 754 577 1 754 579 1 754 580 1 754 581 1 754 596 1 754 603 1 754 604 1 754 606 1 754 608 1 754 609 1 754 610 1 754 612 1 754 615 1 754 619 1 754 622 1 754 623 1 754 625 2 754 626 2 754 629 1 754 631 1 754 632 1 754 633 2 754 634 1 754 636 1 754 643 1 754 644 1 754 649 1 754 652 1 754 659 1 754 660 1 754 699 1 754 700 2 754 705 2 754 707 2 754 715 1 754 723 1 754 726 1 754 727 2 754 728 1 754 729 1 754 730 1 754 731 1 754 752 1 754 754 6 754 780 1 754 785 1 754 790 1 754 805 1 754 809 1 754 810 1 754 812 4 754 813 2 754 814 3 754 817 2 754 820 1 754 822 1 754 824 2 754 825 1 754 826 1 754 829 2 754 830 1 754 866 1 754 870 1 754 873 1 754 875 1 754 894 1 754 895 1 754 1035 1 754 1044 1 754 1051 1 754 1078 1 754 1089 1 754 1091 1 754 1143 1 754 1264 1 754 1282 1 754 1294 1 754 1302 1 754 1303 2 754 1327 2 754 1364 1 754 1366 2 754 1367 2 754 1368 2 754 1396 1 754 1419 1 754 1427 1 754 1427 1 754 .I 755 .T The Journal of Documentation .A Bhattacharyya, K. .W This paper examines the implications of the findings of evaluative tests regarding the retrieval performance of natural language in various subject fields. It suggests parallel investigations into the structure of natural language, with particular reference to terminology, as used in the different branches of basic science. The criteria for defining the terminological consistency of a subject are formulated and a measure suggested for determining the degree of terminological consistency. The terminological and information structures of specific disciplines such as, chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, and geology; the circumstances in which terms originate; and the efforts made by the international scientific community to standardize the terminology in their respective disciplines - are examined in detail. This investigation shows why and how an artificially created scientific language finds it impossible to keep pace with current developments and thus points to the source of natural language. .X 38 1 755 124 1 755 127 1 755 129 1 755 190 1 755 191 1 755 197 1 755 211 1 755 214 1 755 218 1 755 243 1 755 307 1 755 324 1 755 330 1 755 378 1 755 422 1 755 441 1 755 450 1 755 451 1 755 452 1 755 459 1 755 468 1 755 484 1 755 492 1 755 508 1 755 510 1 755 511 1 755 512 1 755 514 2 755 518 1 755 520 2 755 523 1 755 524 1 755 525 1 755 526 1 755 529 1 755 530 1 755 534 1 755 546 1 755 553 1 755 577 1 755 579 1 755 582 1 755 594 1 755 603 2 755 604 1 755 606 1 755 609 1 755 610 1 755 611 1 755 612 1 755 625 1 755 626 1 755 630 1 755 636 1 755 637 1 755 641 1 755 642 1 755 643 1 755 644 1 755 645 1 755 648 1 755 649 1 755 650 2 755 692 1 755 696 1 755 699 1 755 703 1 755 705 1 755 708 1 755 709 1 755 726 2 755 727 1 755 728 1 755 731 1 755 732 1 755 733 1 755 734 1 755 736 1 755 738 1 755 739 1 755 740 1 755 741 1 755 742 1 755 743 1 755 744 1 755 755 5 755 813 1 755 820 2 755 822 1 755 825 1 755 826 1 755 827 2 755 830 1 755 879 1 755 883 1 755 1004 1 755 1035 1 755 1078 1 755 1084 1 755 1089 1 755 1091 2 755 1207 1 755 1264 1 755 1297 1 755 1303 1 755 1356 1 755 1364 1 755 1368 1 755 1370 1 755 1372 1 755 1373 1 755 1374 1 755 1375 1 755 1376 1 755 1377 1 755 1448 1 755 1448 1 755 .I 756 .T Optimization of Library Expenditure on Biochemical Journals .A Line, M.B. .W In a 1973 paper, Sengupta analysed references to biochemical journals in an attempt to provide a guide for librarians with a limited budget. He not only ranked journals by the absolute number of citations made to 1969 volumes, but related the number of citations to the number of papers and even to the number of words in each journal, as perhaps 'a better guide to selection of journals for subscription than position in the ranking list.' (A similar procedure is adopted in two more recent articles by Sengupta on physiology and microbiology journals.) .X 48 1 756 167 2 756 359 1 756 614 1 756 625 1 756 634 1 756 635 1 756 638 2 756 748 2 756 753 2 756 756 5 756 757 2 756 764 1 756 787 1 756 792 1 756 808 1 756 821 1 756 831 1 756 952 1 756 953 1 756 1083 1 756 1210 1 756 1254 1 756 1256 1 756 1260 1 756 1275 1 756 1278 1 756 1302 2 756 1369 1 756 1373 1 756 1418 1 756 1418 1 756 .I 757 .T Citation Analyses as Indicators of the Use of Serials: A Comparison of Ranked Title Lists Produced by Citation Counting and from Use Data .A Scales, Pauline A. .W Lists of journals ranked according to number of citations received are frequently used as indicators of usefulness, but little research has been carried out to test the validity of this hypothesis.. On comparing lists of titles of journals ranked by citation counting with lists of the same journals, ranked according to frequency of use (using data from a survey at the National Lending Library), it was found that the rank order correlation between the two was low..

E. L. .W A classification is a theory of the structure of knowledge.. From a discussion of the nature of truth, it is held that scientific knowledge is the only knowledge which can be regarded as true.. The method of induction from empirical data is therefore applied to the construction of a classification.. Items of knowledge are divided into uniquely definable terms, called isolates, and the relations between them, called operators.. It is shown that only four basic operators exist, expressing appurtenance, equivalence, reaction, and causation; using symbols for these operators, all subjects can be analysed in a linear form called an analet.. With the addition of the permissible permutations of such analets, formed according to simple rules, alphabetical arrangement of the first terms provides a complete, logical subject index.. Examples are given, and possible difficulties are considered.. A classification can then be constructed by selection of deductive relations, arranged in hierarchical form.. The nature of possible classifications is discussed.. It is claimed that such an inductively constructed classification is the only true representation of the structure of knowledge, and that these principles provide a simple technique for accurately and fully indexing and classifying any given set of data, with complete flexibility.. .X 160 1 758 258 1 758 259 1 758 476 1 758 477 1 758 478 2 758 480 2 758 516 2 758 542 1 758 758 5 758 785 1 758 1215 1 758 1231 1 758 1259 1 758 1391 2 758 1405 1 758 1405 1 758 .I 759 .T A New Look at Reference Scattering .A Cole, P.F. .W It was first observed by Bradford that, for a large collection of journal references on a given subject, most of the articles are derived from a small proportion of the total titles. Bradford listed the journals concerned in order of decreasing productivity and, by plotting the logarithms of the cumulative totals of titles against the cumulative totals of relevant articles produced, he obtained a straight line. (Similar results have been obtained by many later workers. The pattern is illustrated by Table I which shows the distribution of references among journal titles obtained by the author during a study of literature usage in the petroleum industry.) On the basis of these results Bradford then formulated a simple mathematical model to describe reference scattering. Vickery later pointed out that this 'law of scattering' predicted not a straight line but a curve. Kendall has now provided a more refined statistical explanation of the straight line observed by Bradford. .X 33 1 759 36 1 759 44 1 759 46 1 759 57 2 759 76 1 759 81 1 759 184 1 759 193 1 759 195 1 759 201 1 759 203 1 759 204 1 759 205 1 759 233 1 759 267 1 759 359 5 759 361 3 759 367 1 759 395 1 759 416 2 759 505 1 759 515 1 759 573 1 759 587 1 759 616 1 759 667 1 759 748 3 759 750 1 759 751 2 759 759 12 759 760 1 759 765 7 759 767 2 759 775 2 759 776 3 759 778 4 759 787 2 759 791 1 759 792 1 759 793 1 759 800 1 759 893 1 759 977 1 759 983 1 759 1016 1 759 1030 1 759 1076 1 759 1081 2 759 1082 2 759 1083 3 759 1085 2 759 1086 1 759 1090 1 759 1097 1 759 1098 1 759 1114 1 759 1122 1 759 1157 1 759 1170 2 759 1173 1 759 1182 4 759 1201 2 759 1226 1 759 1275 1 759 1278 1 759 1381 1 759 1401 1 759 1417 1 759 1418 1 759 1432 1 759 1432 1 759 .I 760 .T The Foreign-Language Problem Facing Scientists and Technologists in the United Kingdom - Report of a Recent Survey .A Wood, D. N. .W The foreign-language barrier facing British scientists is a function of a, the amount and value of foreign scientific literature produced; b, the linguistic ability of the people wishing to read it; and c, the availability and effectiveness of translation services.. To obtain quantitative data on these points the NLL has recently conducted a survey amongst scientists and librarians in the United Kingdom and the present paper presents the more important results.. The survey has shown that the language problem is of considerable magnitude and is common to the majority of scientists and technologists.. The languages creating the most difficulty are Russian, German, and Japanese.. It has also indicated that local translation facilities are not particularly effective and that, as far as national facilities are concerned, British scientists are largely unaware of existing services which might help them to overcome their difficulties.. The results of the investigation suggest a number of lines of action which the appropriate authorities might follow.. The most important would seem to be the publishing of a international index to translations and the creation within the United Kingdom of a centralized Japanese translation service.. .X 2 1 760 31 1 760 34 1 760 36 1 760 37 1 760 41 1 760 46 1 760 53 1 760 76 1 760 132 1 760 137 2 760 139 1 760 152 1 760 155 1 760 161 1 760 166 1 760 181 1 760 182 1 760 183 2 760 184 1 760 193 1 760 195 2 760 198 1 760 201 1 760 203 1 760 204 1 760 210 1 760 269 1 760 371 1 760 382 1 760 395 1 760 415 1 760 456 1 760 475 2 760 552 1 760 658 1 760 711 1 760 759 1 760 760 16 760 767 1 760 770 1 760 772 1 760 774 2 760 775 2 760 776 2 760 777 1 760 778 1 760 788 2 760 789 2 760 889 1 760 891 1 760 900 4 760 905 1 760 952 1 760 953 1 760 964 1 760 967 1 760 968 1 760 977 1 760 1009 1 760 1018 1 760 1019 1 760 1055 1 760 1056 1 760 1118 1 760 1240 1 760 1254 1 760 1281 1 760 1359 1 760 1397 1 760 1404 1 760 1417 1 760 1451 1 760 1451 1 760 .I 761 .T Minimum Vocabularies in Information Indexing .A Moss, R. .W Words have no precision, though in information storage and retrieval we are required to act as if they did.. We have, therefore, to impose certain arbitrary conditions to reduce the element of personal interpretation.. 'Meaning' must be remove from the indexing stage to that of vocabulary construction.. Vocabularies can be reduced to a minimum, first to a core of terms used in specialist science, and, following Russel, ultimately to undefined terms symbolic of sense experience.. 'Basic English' has shown similar minimizing to be feasible for a natural language.. The success of Batten cards shown that the principle could be equally applicable to specialist indexing vocabularies.. .X 42 1 761 119 1 761 149 1 761 152 1 761 258 1 761 388 1 761 458 1 761 558 1 761 714 1 761 761 5 761 907 1 761 1175 1 761 1309 1 761 1381 1 761 1394 1 761 1407 1 761 1407 1 761 .I 762 .T Opening the Black Box of 'Relevance' .A Cuarda, Carlos A. .A Katter, Robert V. .W The purpose of this project was to identify variables thought to affect relevance judgements and conduct a series of laboratory studies to determine the effects of these variables on relevance judgements.. This paper discusses the variable of 'implicit use orientations' - the particular attitude taken by a subject (judge) about the intended use of a document.. One hundred and forty judges rated each of nine abstracts for relevance to several short information requirement statements.. The some judges then repeated the ratings, each adopting (assuming) one of the fourteen use orientations described to them.. It was found that the particular use orientation assumed by the judge has a marked effect on relevance judgements.. It was also found that implicit use orientations can be analysed in terms of their underlying structure and that their study offers the possibility of discovering the conditions under which one person can accurately simulate and use the implicit use orientations of another.. Relevance judgements have been used as a basis of measures designed to evaluate the effectiveness of information retrieval system.. This judgements have usually been accepted at face value and have not been subjected to critical scrutiny.. There is reason to believe, however, that as ordinarily obtained, they may be unreliable and sensitive to a number of conditions of measurement that have not been carefully controlled in previous evaluation studies.. .X 3 1 762 20 1 762 29 2 762 35 1 762 42 3 762 43 1 762 58 2 762 60 1 762 70 1 762 72 1 762 75 1 762 84 1 762 85 1 762 129 1 762 149 1 762 165 1 762 172 1 762 382 1 762 444 2 762 445 2 762 447 1 762 449 1 762 451 1 762 469 1 762 474 1 762 486 1 762 532 1 762 554 1 762 565 1 762 585 1 762 590 1 762 595 1 762 599 1 762 608 1 762 609 1 762 625 1 762 640 1 762 652 2 762 656 1 762 660 2 762 665 1 762 689 1 762 762 7 762 764 1 762 803 1 762 814 1 762 893 1 762 901 1 762 956 1 762 961 1 762 1016 1 762 1022 1 762 1030 1 762 1045 2 762 1077 1 762 1084 1 762 1195 1 762 1201 1 762 1231 1 762 1235 1 762 1268 1 762 1281 2 762 1285 1 762 1294 1 762 1294 1 762 .I 763 .T Current Awareness Needs of Physicists: Results of an Anglo-American Study .A Keenan, Stella .A Slater, Margaret .W An outline of methods and summary of findings of a study of American,British and Overseas physicists..

Sandison, A. .W The term 'obsolescence' occurs frequently in the literature of librarianship and information science. In numerous papers we are told how most published literature becomes obsolete within a measurable time, and that an item receives half the uses it will ever receive ('half-life') in a few years. 'Obsolescence' is however very rarely defined, and its validity, interest, and practical value are often assumed rather than explained. Before reviewing studies on 'obsolescence', therefore, it is necessary to look at the concept and to identify the reasons why it should be of interest. .X 5 1 764 19 1 764 29 1 764 35 1 764 37 1 764 39 1 764 40 1 764 41 1 764 42 1 764 43 1 764 47 2 764 58 1 764 70 1 764 73 1 764 84 1 764 88 1 764 97 1 764 102 1 764 103 1 764 106 1 764 111 1 764 113 1 764 115 1 764 207 1 764 225 1 764 233 1 764 234 2 764 245 1 764 253 1 764 313 1 764 359 1 764 364 1 764 365 1 764 377 2 764 379 1 764 395 1 764 444 1 764 445 1 764 447 1 764 449 1 764 474 1 764 486 1 764 505 1 764 519 1 764 532 1 764 545 1 764 560 1 764 573 1 764 587 2 764 614 1 764 618 1 764 625 1 764 632 2 764 635 1 764 638 4 764 660 1 764 667 1 764 713 1 764 748 1 764 749 1 764 751 1 764 753 1 764 756 1 764 762 1 764 764 12 764 765 1 764 777 1 764 778 1 764 780 1 764 782 1 764 804 1 764 805 1 764 808 1 764 811 2 764 816 2 764 818 1 764 823 1 764 824 1 764 829 1 764 842 1 764 893 2 764 895 1 764 925 1 764 944 1 764 948 1 764 952 1 764 1016 2 764 1023 1 764 1030 1 764 1045 1 764 1061 1 764 1084 1 764 1085 1 764 1086 1 764 1087 1 764 1091 1 764 1182 1 764 1195 1 764 1200 1 764 1201 1 764 1235 1 764 1257 1 764 1274 2 764 1277 1 764 1278 2 764 1280 2 764 1281 1 764 1285 2 764 1287 1 764 1301 2 764 1302 4 764 1304 1 764 1307 1 764 1313 2 764 1335 1 764 1338 1 764 1344 1 764 1347 1 764 1355 1 764 1369 1 764 1380 1 764 1428 1 764 1444 2 764 1444 2 764 .I 765 .T Bradford's Law of Scattering .A Vickery, B.C. .W These authors collected a large number of references to a certain subject, and arranged the periodicals in which the references occurred in order of decreasing productivity. Thus for applied geophysics they found (loc. cit., p. 112) 1 periodical containing 93 references, 1 containing 86, 4 containing 16, 49 containing 2, and 169 containing only 1 reference. They then made cumulative totals for the two sets of figures, so that in the T most productive periodicals there occurred in all R references. Bradford then plotted log T against R and his curves are reproduced as B and C in Fig. 1. An exactly similar procedure for periodical references borrowed by Butterwick resulted in curve A. In both A and B, after an initial steep rise (up to about R = 500), the curves approximate to a straight line, R = a log T + b. .X 19 1 765 33 1 765 36 1 765 37 1 765 39 1 765 40 1 765 44 1 765 47 1 765 57 2 765 62 2 765 76 1 765 81 1 765 88 1 765 97 1 765 102 1 765 103 1 765 128 1 765 129 1 765 130 1 765 167 1 765 184 1 765 193 1 765 195 1 765 201 1 765 203 1 765 204 1 765 205 1 765 223 1 765 225 1 765 233 3 765 234 1 765 253 1 765 267 2 765 280 1 765 313 1 765 359 9 765 361 1 765 377 1 765 379 2 765 382 1 765 393 1 765 395 2 765 416 3 765 468 1 765 494 1 765 505 2 765 515 1 765 560 1 765 573 3 765 587 1 765 614 1 765 616 1 765 618 1 765 632 1 765 635 1 765 638 1 765 639 1 765 646 1 765 647 1 765 651 2 765 667 2 765 685 1 765 686 1 765 691 1 765 721 1 765 725 1 765 748 8 765 749 2 765 750 1 765 751 8 765 759 7 765 764 1 765 765 23 765 767 1 765 770 1 765 776 2 765 777 1 765 778 12 765 782 1 765 786 2 765 787 2 765 791 4 765 792 1 765 793 2 765 800 2 765 804 1 765 805 1 765 811 1 765 818 1 765 822 1 765 823 1 765 827 1 765 893 2 765 925 2 765 943 1 765 944 1 765 948 1 765 952 1 765 983 1 765 1016 3 765 1019 1 765 1030 1 765 1061 1 765 1070 1 765 1076 1 765 1081 2 765 1082 2 765 1083 5 765 1084 1 765 1085 6 765 1086 2 765 1087 1 765 1090 1 765 1097 2 765 1098 1 765 1109 1 765 1114 2 765 1122 1 765 1157 1 765 1170 1 765 1172 2 765 1173 1 765 1182 5 765 1200 1 765 1201 3 765 1208 1 765 1209 1 765 1226 2 765 1274 2 765 1277 1 765 1278 2 765 1280 1 765 1285 1 765 1287 1 765 1290 1 765 1301 1 765 1302 1 765 1304 1 765 1313 1 765 1338 1 765 1344 1 765 1347 1 765 1374 1 765 1380 2 765 1381 1 765 1390 1 765 1401 2 765 1417 1 765 1418 1 765 1422 1 765 1428 1 765 1437 1 765 1444 1 765 1444 1 765 .I 766 .T A National Loan Policy for Scientific Serials .A Urquhart, D.J.

In this present paper a relationship between usage and age of journal is established and the application of this relationship to some library planning problems is illustrated. .X 14 1 767 31 2 767 33 3 767 36 3 767 41 2 767 46 2 767 57 1 767 89 1 767 97 1 767 102 1 767 106 2 767 111 1 767 112 1 767 132 1 767 137 1 767 163 1 767 181 1 767 182 1 767 183 3 767 184 3 767 189 1 767 193 4 767 195 2 767 198 1 767 199 1 767 201 3 767 203 2 767 204 1 767 205 1 767 210 1 767 221 1 767 225 1 767 233 1 767 237 1 767 267 1 767 269 3 767 272 1 767 314 2 767 359 3 767 360 1 767 367 1 767 373 1 767 395 2 767 415 2 767 545 1 767 552 1 767 587 3 767 605 1 767 613 1 767 614 1 767 638 1 767 667 1 767 735 1 767 747 1 767 748 3 767 750 3 767 751 1 767 753 2 767 759 2 767 760 1 767 765 1 767 766 1 767 767 12 767 772 1 767 774 1 767 775 2 767 778 3 767 782 1 767 784 1 767 787 2 767 788 1 767 789 2 767 791 2 767 792 1 767 793 3 767 794 1 767 800 4 767 808 1 767 891 1 767 905 3 767 952 3 767 953 2 767 964 1 767 968 1 767 977 3 767 983 2 767 1009 1 767 1016 1 767 1018 1 767 1019 1 767 1023 1 767 1030 3 767 1055 1 767 1071 1 767 1081 1 767 1082 1 767 1083 1 767 1085 1 767 1086 1 767 1087 1 767 1090 1 767 1135 1 767 1201 1 767 1203 1 767 1240 1 767 1260 1 767 1275 3 767 1276 1 767 1278 2 767 1280 2 767 1285 2 767 1286 1 767 1287 1 767 1302 2 767 1335 1 767 1352 2 767 1359 1 767 1390 1 767 1397 2 767 1401 1 767 1417 3 767 1418 1 767 1428 2 767 1432 1 767 1451 1 767 1451 1 767 .I 768 .T Student Attitudes to the University Library.

Statistics of use, however, will not by themselves indicate how good a library is, whether as a bookstock, a building, or an administrative department. How adequate is the bookstock? How fully is it being exploited? How important are physical and personal elements?

This has taken the form of research into methods of classification of keywords extracted from documents, with a view to using the classes found for co-ordinate indexing of technical material. We cannot claim to have solved this problem because the methods we have been able to develop so far cannot be applied on a sufficiently large scale. We have, however, made enough progress to make us feel that this a fruitful line of research. .X 26 1 769 45 1 769 50 1 769 131 1 769 174 2 769 175 1 769 310 1 769 328 1 769 382 1 769 389 2 769 419 1 769 422 1 769 454 1 769 479 2 769 483 1 769 485 2 769 562 1 769 564 2 769 565 1 769 660 1 769 661 2 769 662 2 769 663 2 769 664 1 769 769 7 769 780 1 769 785 1 769 966 1 769 1118 1 769 1144 1 769 1255 1 769 1327 1 769 1419 1 769 1419 1 769 .I 770 .T Tests on Abstracts Journals .A Martyn, J. Slater, M. .W The amount of scientific and technical information published annually in the form of journal articles, conference papers, reports, theses, patents, and books now greatly exceeds, in every field of interest, the amount which may be scanned by a scientist wishing to keep himself completely up to date in his own subject. For a scientist wishing to inform himself of new developments in neighbouring subject-fields the problem is even greater. Consequently, either the scientist reconciles himself to the knowledge that he is not aware of all relevant information in his field or he places increasingly more reliance on such bibliographic tools as are available to guide him towards the relevant literature. First among such tools is the abstracts journal. .X 2 1 770 4 1 770 65 1 770 114 1 770 154 1 770 158 1 770 162 2 770 194 1 770 212 1 770 371 1 770 382 1 770 458 2 770 475 1 770 513 1 770 580 1 770 582 1 770 613 1 770 622 2 770 627 1 770 658 1 770 685 1 770 686 1 770 691 1 770 696 1 770 705 1 770 721 1 770 722 1 770 725 1 770 728 1 770 729 1 770 749 1 770 760 1 770 765 1 770 770 12 770 776 8 770 796 1 770 802 1 770 815 1 770 914 1 770 967 1 770 981 1 770 1030 1 770 1076 2 770 1097 1 770 1098 1 770 1157 1 770 1176 1 770 1208 1 770 1209 1 770 1290 1 770 1392 1 770 1404 1 770 1414 1 770 1431 1 770 1448 1 770 1448 1 770 .I 771 .T Survey of Information Needs of Physicists and Chemists .A Aims, A. .W Scientific research is expensive and the practical application of its results is even more expensive. Information services are relatively inexpensive and, by constantly improving their scope and efficiency and encouraging the scientist to make the best use of them, we can minimize duplication and inefficiency in research and development. This is the justification for the present survey and for all the work on user needs which has preceded it. .X 2 1 771 32 1 771 96 1 771 132 1 771 161 1 771 475 1 771 658 2 771 771 5 771 788 1 771 965 1 771 1095 1 771 1099 1 771 1102 1 771 1111 1 771 1151 1 771 1154 1 771 1158 1 771 1254 1 771 1321 1 771 1330 1 771 1361 1 771 1408 1 771 1446 1 771 1447 1 771 1447 1 771 .I 772 .T Information Use Studies Part 2 - Comparison of Some Recent Surveys .A Barnes, R.C.M. .W Information-use studies are vitally necessary in order to complement, challenge, and sharpen informed intuitive judgements, but even the broadest conclusions drawn from such studies need to be examined critically. The conclusions or their generality may sometimes be invalidated by special conditions in the survey sample, by the environment having been disturbed by the survey, by the interpretation given to questions or observations, or by the way the data has been analyzed. These same factors make direct comparison of results from different surveys difficult, and make superficial comparisons misleading. Some comparisons and conclusions are certainly much less sound than the casual reader might suppose, particularly when results have been compressed and taken out of their context in the original survey. The difficulty of comparing information-use surveys is well illustrated by the copious footnotes used by Menzel, Lieberman, and Dulchin in order to qualify the significance of the results which they compare. .X 14 1 772 41 1 772 132 2 772 137 2 772 147 1 772 161 2 772 237 1 772 272 1 772 456 1 772 624 1 772 760 1 772 763 1 772 767 1 772 772 6 772 900 1 772 952 1 772 965 1 772 1030 1 772 1095 1 772 1155 1 772 1156 1 772 1158 1 772 1160 1 772 1254 1 772 1275 1 772 1280 1 772 1353 1 772 1361 1 772 1361 1 772 .I 773 .T A Computer_Aided Information Service for Nuclear Science and Technology .A Rolling, Loll N. .W The computerized information centre of the European Atomic Energy Community has become operational..

The aim was to assess the effect, if any, of the considerable measures taken since the 1962 survey.. Uncontrolled factors, mainly related to the rapid expansion of the University, may. however, have effected the results.. It appears that, except for social science students, there were few improvements in attitudes and use, and that seminars had little measurable effect.. Possible explanations for this are offered, and the place of reader services in a university library discussed.. Other items covered by the survey include the use of libraries in Halls of resinence and of Southampton Public Libraries, which in both cases showed a sharp decline since 1962, the number and cost of books bought by undergraduates, and their use of libraries in vacations.. .X 2 1 774 4 2 774 9 1 774 31 1 774 32 1 774 36 1 774 41 1 774 46 1 774 76 1 774 96 1 774 132 1 774 137 2 774 139 1 774 152 1 774 155 1 774 163 1 774 181 1 774 182 1 774 183 2 774 184 1 774 193 1 774 195 2 774 198 1 774 201 1 774 203 1 774 204 1 774 207 1 774 210 1 774 269 1 774 293 1 774 298 1 774 370 1 774 395 1 774 415 1 774 418 1 774 456 1 774 475 1 774 552 1 774 648 1 774 760 2 774 767 1 774 768 4 774 774 6 774 775 1 774 778 1 774 783 1 774 788 1 774 789 1 774 799 1 774 811 1 774 816 1 774 818 1 774 823 1 774 839 1 774 842 1 774 843 1 774 844 1 774 847 1 774 891 1 774 905 1 774 913 1 774 952 1 774 953 1 774 961 1 774 962 1 774 964 2 774 968 2 774 977 1 774 1009 1 774 1018 1 774 1019 1 774 1055 1 774 1056 1 774 1068 1 774 1069 1 774 1070 1 774 1203 1 774 1214 1 774 1240 1 774 1246 1 774 1321 1 774 1359 1 774 1397 1 774 1401 1 774 1407 1 774 1417 1 774 1445 1 774 1451 1 774 1451 1 774 .I 775 .T The Citation Characteristics of Astronomical Research Literature .A Meadows, A.

Doc. 20 (4) 1964, 212-35) a series of tests on the coverage, overlap, and indexing of abstracts journals were described. Briefly, these were carried out by selecting recent, comprehensive bibliographies on specific subjects, searching the appropriate abstracts journals via the author indexes to determine the number of references given in the bibliography that were abstracted, then consulting the subject indexes to try to locate those references which are known to have been abstracted. A further eight bibliographies have been studied, and the results are reported here. Our results are presented below in the following form: 1. Title of bibliography, source, content (number of journal references, reports, etc.). 2. Abstracts journals consulted. 3. Coverage and multiple coverage. This is a bar-chart showing number of references not abstracted, those covered once, twice, and so on. 4. Coverage by each abstracts journal, given as a bar-chart, the last column showing coverage by all services combined. (Where bar-charts are given they show coverages as percentages of the whole bibliography, actual numbers of references being shown beneath the appropriate columns. 5. Taking each abstracts journal separately, we show the headings under which references were found in the subject index. Some references we were unable to locate, so there is often an apparent discrepancy with the figures given in 4. .X 2 1 776 4 1 776 65 2 776 158 1 776 162 1 776 359 1 776 361 1 776 371 1 776 382 1 776 458 1 776 475 1 776 513 2 776 545 1 776 580 1 776 582 2 776 591 1 776 613 1 776 622 1 776 658 1 776 685 1 776 686 1 776 691 1 776 696 1 776 705 1 776 721 1 776 722 1 776 725 1 776 728 1 776 729 1 776 759 3 776 760 2 776 765 2 776 770 8 776 775 2 776 776 16 776 782 1 776 815 1 776 967 1 776 981 1 776 1030 1 776 1076 1 776 1097 3 776 1098 2 776 1157 1 776 1176 2 776 1182 1 776 1208 1 776 1209 1 776 1275 1 776 1290 1 776 1404 1 776 1414 1 776 1432 1 776 1432 1 776 .I 777 .T Estimates of the Number of Currently Available Scientific and Technical Periodicals .A Barr, K.

W. .A Climenson, W. D. .W A retrieval system may be evaluated strictly in terms of user satisfaction (operating efficiency), or it may be evaluated from the point of view of efficient means of satisfying user requirements (economic efficiency).. When we consider the relationship between operating efficiency and economic efficiency, we are faced with a whole series of possible trade-offs.. There may be several alternative paths we can follow in order to serve user needs.. The problem is to determine the most economical path to follow.. Pay-off factors, break-even points, and diminishing returns must be taken into consideration.. This paper considers some of these factors in relation to various parts of the complete retrieval system: the acquisition subsystem, the indexing subsystem, the index language, the searching subsystem, and the equipment subsystem.. .X 61 1 779 62 1 779 65 1 779 67 1 779 70 1 779 71 1 779 72 1 779 73 1 779 75 1 779 76 1 779 135 1 779 153 2 779 156 1 779 175 2 779 206 1 779 207 1 779 208 1 779 213 1 779 214 1 779 217 1 779 243 1 779 249 1 779 364 1 779 381 1 779 382 2 779 385 1 779 458 2 779 481 1 779 483 2 779 484 1 779 485 1 779 495 1 779 591 2 779 598 1 779 639 1 779 779 8 779 780 1 779 790 1 779 822 1 779 981 1 779 982 1 779 1055 1 779 1083 1 779 1086 1 779 1295 1 779 1297 1 779 1358 1 779 1402 1 779 1403 1 779 1410 1 779 1417 1 779 1417 1 779 .I 780 .T The Measures of Information Retrieval Effectiveness proposed by Swets .A Brookes, B.

A ross-reference structure is represented as a graph in which the nodes are index terms and the links are relations between index terms.. In order to clarify the concept of 'level of cross-referencing' the characteristics of cross-referencing structure are studied.. Some measures of cross-reference distributions are suggested as a means of comparing the cross-referencing levels of subject indexes.. Types of relations linking the terms of cross-references in existing indexes and thesauri are examined.. The implications of the study for the construction and testing on indexes and thesauri are discussed.. .X 29 1 781 52 1 781 64 1 781 68 1 781 69 1 781 75 1 781 81 1 781 82 1 781 86 1 781 149 1 781 151 1 781 160 1 781 175 2 781 194 1 781 245 1 781 261 1 781 346 1 781 374 1 781 382 1 781 454 1 781 458 1 781 476 1 781 477 3 781 478 1 781 479 1 781 480 2 781 484 1 781 485 1 781 486 1 781 501 1 781 502 1 781 504 1 781 558 1 781 566 1 781 600 1 781 653 2 781 680 1 781 704 1 781 717 1 781 746 1 781 781 9 781 783 1 781 795 1 781 799 1 781 802 1 781 817 1 781 825 1 781 834 1 781 835 1 781 848 1 781 849 1 781 850 1 781 851 1 781 852 1 781 901 1 781 922 1 781 925 1 781 981 1 781 982 1 781 1024 1 781 1042 1 781 1051 1 781 1054 1 781 1118 1 781 1145 1 781 1175 1 781 1215 1 781 1227 1 781 1255 1 781 1394 1 781 1414 1 781 1415 1 781 1422 1 781 1422 1 781 .I 782 .T Statistics of Scientific and Technical Articles .A Vickery, B.C. .W A new estimate of the number of currently published scientific and technical periodicals has been put forward by K.P.

Firstly, on average, articles more than fifteen years old rarely get cited as they are rendered obsolete by the rate of advance. The net increase per annum of 'citeable articles' is not as large as might otherwise be expected. Secondly many relatively small specialized subject areas, each tending to have its own literature and 'internal' citation practices, are hiving off from the classical areas, because of the specialized nature of modern science. Thirdly it seems that the 'building blocks' of an article can on average be adequately specified (regardless of the volume of published information) by reference to about eleven items of the prior art relating to the main theme, associated concepts and methods, and general background. .X 33 2 784 36 1 784 39 1 784 41 1 784 48 1 784 76 1 784 89 4 784 97 1 784 102 1 784 111 1 784 112 1 784 113 1 784 163 1 784 183 2 784 184 2 784 193 2 784 198 1 784 199 1 784 201 1 784 203 1 784 204 1 784 210 1 784 225 1 784 233 1 784 269 1 784 373 1 784 545 1 784 552 2 784 587 1 784 605 1 784 613 1 784 614 1 784 632 1 784 638 1 784 735 3 784 747 1 784 750 1 784 753 1 784 766 2 784 767 1 784 775 1 784 782 1 784 784 5 784 788 1 784 789 1 784 793 1 784 800 1 784 808 1 784 828 1 784 905 1 784 953 1 784 977 1 784 983 1 784 1016 1 784 1023 1 784 1030 1 784 1055 2 784 1082 1 784 1087 1 784 1090 1 784 1135 1 784 1260 1 784 1273 1 784 1275 2 784 1276 1 784 1278 1 784 1280 1 784 1283 1 784 1285 2 784 1286 2 784 1287 2 784 1302 2 784 1335 2 784 1338 1 784 1341 2 784 1346 1 784 1347 1 784 1390 1 784 1397 2 784 1417 1 784 1428 1 784 1432 2 784 1444 1 784 1444 1 784 .I 785 .T The Parametric Description of Retrieval Tests Part I: The Basic Parameters .A Robertson, S.E. .W Some parameters and techniques in use for describing the results of tests on IR systems are analysed.. Several considerations outside the score of the usual 2x2 table are relevant to the choice of parameters.. In particular, a variable which produces a 'performance curve' of a system corresponds to an extension of the 2x2 table.. Also, the statistical relationships between parameters are all-important.. It is considered that precision is not such a useful measure of performance (in conjunction with recall) as fallout.. A more powerful alternative to Cleverdon's 'inevitable inverse relationship between recall and precision' is proposed and justified, namely that the recall-fallout graph is convex.. .X 28 1 785 50 1 785 54 1 785 57 1 785 58 1 785 71 1 785 72 1 785 73 6 785 74 1 785 75 1 785 77 1 785 78 1 785 79 1 785 81 1 785 82 1 785 83 1 785 86 1 785 114 1 785 131 1 785 134 3 785 146 1 785 149 1 785 153 1 785 156 1 785 157 1 785 174 1 785 175 2 785 176 1 785 194 1 785 211 1 785 212 1 785 245 1 785 274 1 785 277 1 785 279 1 785 280 1 785 319 2 785 381 2 785 382 1 785 389 2 785 390 4 785 422 1 785 445 2 785 449 1 785 451 1 785 458 2 785 468 1 785 474 2 785 478 1 785 486 1 785 489 1 785 509 1 785 514 1 785 516 1 785 518 1 785 519 1 785 562 1 785 564 1 785 565 3 785 566 2 785 570 1 785 577 1 785 595 1 785 615 1 785 625 2 785 634 1 785 643 1 785 644 1 785 646 1 785 649 1 785 652 1 785 660 3 785 720 1 785 748 1 785 752 4 785 754 1 785 758 1 785 769 1 785 780 6 785 785 22 785 786 1 785 787 1 785 788 1 785 789 1 785 791 1 785 810 1 785 812 1 785 820 1 785 822 1 785 827 1 785 829 2 785 830 1 785 895 2 785 925 1 785 966 1 785 984 1 785 1044 1 785 1054 1 785 1091 1 785 1131 1 785 1154 1 785 1218 1 785 1255 3 785 1279 1 785 1282 5 785 1307 3 785 1327 1 785 1422 1 785 1427 1 785 1427 1 785 .I 786 .T Documentation Notes .A Zipf, Library .W A recent article by Kozachkov and Khursin, entitled 'The basic probability distribution in information flow systems', describes the fundamental similarity of a number of known statistical regularities in the flow of information..

N. .A Bower, C. A. .W The paper presents the results of a survey of the use of social science periodicals carried out at the National Lending Library during a period of four weeks in 1968.. Three-quarters of the requests came from universities and industrial organizations and over 90% of the requests were for English language publications.. Over a fifth of the requests were for seventeen titles.. There were marked variations in the subject matter requested by different types of organizations and although the overall 'half-life' of the literature proved to be 3 1/2 years this figure varied considerably from one subject to another.. Concerning the sources of references, it was discovered that compared with scientists and technologists social scientists make relatively little use of abstracting and indexing publications.. Appendixes include a copy of the questionnaire used in the survey, a list of title requested six or more times, and a list of abstracting and indexing publications cited five or more times as sources of references.. .X 2 1 788 10 1 788 24 1 788 33 1 788 36 1 788 41 1 788 62 1 788 65 1 788 66 1 788 71 1 788 72 1 788 73 1 788 74 1 788 75 2 788 76 2 788 77 1 788 78 1 788 79 1 788 81 1 788 82 1 788 83 1 788 86 1 788 89 1 788 97 1 788 102 1 788 110 1 788 111 2 788 112 1 788 132 1 788 137 2 788 139 1 788 147 1 788 152 1 788 153 1 788 155 2 788 156 1 788 163 1 788 183 2 788 184 1 788 193 1 788 195 1 788 199 1 788 203 2 788 204 1 788 210 5 788 211 1 788 212 1 788 225 1 788 245 1 788 269 1 788 277 1 788 278 1 788 279 2 788 280 2 788 355 1 788 359 1 788 373 1 788 386 1 788 395 1 788 398 1 788 475 2 788 486 1 788 545 2 788 552 2 788 587 1 788 605 1 788 613 1 788 614 1 788 638 1 788 658 2 788 716 1 788 720 1 788 735 1 788 747 1 788 748 2 788 750 1 788 753 1 788 760 2 788 763 1 788 766 1 788 767 1 788 771 1 788 774 1 788 775 2 788 782 2 788 784 1 788 785 1 788 786 1 788 787 2 788 788 18 788 789 7 788 791 1 788 793 1 788 800 1 788 808 1 788 837 1 788 840 1 788 905 1 788 925 2 788 953 1 788 977 2 788 983 1 788 984 1 788 986 1 788 1016 1 788 1023 1 788 1030 1 788 1050 1 788 1055 3 788 1056 1 788 1083 1 788 1085 1 788 1087 1 788 1090 1 788 1135 1 788 1254 2 788 1260 1 788 1275 2 788 1276 1 788 1278 1 788 1280 1 788 1285 1 788 1286 1 788 1287 1 788 1291 1 788 1302 1 788 1335 1 788 1361 1 788 1390 2 788 1397 1 788 1400 1 788 1404 2 788 1417 1 788 1428 1 788 1432 1 788 1451 2 788 1451 2 788 .I 789 .T Social Science Literature Use in the UK as Indicated by Citations .A Earle, Penelope .A Vickery, Brian .W A sample of citations made in 1965 United Kingdom social science literature has been analyzed according to subject, bibliographic form, country of origin, language, and date, and comparisons made with citations from science and technology literature..

This term, resuscitated by Alan Pritchard (see page 348), denotes, in my paraphrase, quantitative treatment of the properties of recorded discourse and behaviour appertaining to it. In this field the law cited is usually that named after Bradford or Zipf according to whether the interest is in vocabulary or periodical literature or physical access, in the rate of diminishing returns, or in the cumulative yield from a given input. The behaviour is hyperbolic; that is, the product of fixed powers of the variables is constant. This type of behaviour has been observed for a century or so in fields ranging from meteorology to economics, and has given rise to many particular explanations appropriate to the particular fields. Thus it has received many names according to its exponents, in both senses of that word. .X 4 1 791 9 1 791 19 1 791 33 1 791 36 1 791 43 1 791 44 1 791 47 1 791 50 1 791 55 1 791 57 2 791 65 1 791 71 1 791 72 1 791 73 1 791 74 1 791 75 2 791 77 1 791 78 1 791 79 1 791 81 1 791 82 1 791 83 1 791 86 1 791 102 1 791 103 1 791 123 1 791 131 1 791 153 1 791 156 1 791 162 1 791 184 1 791 193 1 791 195 1 791 201 1 791 203 1 791 204 1 791 205 1 791 207 1 791 211 1 791 212 1 791 222 1 791 223 1 791 233 2 791 245 1 791 267 2 791 277 1 791 279 1 791 280 1 791 296 1 791 297 1 791 298 1 791 300 1 791 301 1 791 302 1 791 309 1 791 314 1 791 329 3 791 358 1 791 359 6 791 364 1 791 379 1 791 395 1 791 416 3 791 450 1 791 477 1 791 486 1 791 505 1 791 511 2 791 515 1 791 521 1 791 535 1 791 565 1 791 567 1 791 573 1 791 586 1 791 587 1 791 592 2 791 614 1 791 625 1 791 629 1 791 631 1 791 634 2 791 638 1 791 651 1 791 665 1 791 667 1 791 700 1 791 720 1 791 728 1 791 747 1 791 748 8 791 750 1 791 751 3 791 759 1 791 765 4 791 767 2 791 777 1 791 778 8 791 785 1 791 786 3 791 787 3 791 788 1 791 789 1 791 791 24 791 792 1 791 793 2 791 800 3 791 804 1 791 811 2 791 816 1 791 818 1 791 823 1 791 843 1 791 844 1 791 846 1 791 852 1 791 872 1 791 875 1 791 893 4 791 894 1 791 915 1 791 925 3 791 948 1 791 958 1 791 961 1 791 962 1 791 964 1 791 970 1 791 983 1 791 984 1 791 994 1 791 1015 1 791 1019 2 791 1030 3 791 1037 1 791 1081 1 791 1082 1 791 1083 4 791 1085 5 791 1086 3 791 1087 1 791 1182 2 791 1196 1 791 1200 1 791 1201 2 791 1242 1 791 1247 1 791 1268 1 791 1278 1 791 1285 2 791 1337 1 791 1338 1 791 1341 1 791 1354 1 791 1386 1 791 1401 1 791 1417 1 791 1418 1 791 1422 1 791 1422 1 791 .I 792 .T Photocopies v. Periodicals Cost-Effectiveness in the Special Library .A Brookes, B. C. .W Evidence provided by the Dainton Report indicates that special libraries in the UK are far from fully exploiting the photocopying services provided by the national libraries.. As these photocopying services are legally obliged to operate at cost, they offer significant economies to any special library which exploits them systematically.. This paper describes a simple graphical method of estimating the savings that can be made, or the extended subject coverage that can be obtained at no additional cost, by substituting photocopies for relevant papers in the peripheral periodicals relating to any well-defined scientific or technical subject.. Though photocopying charges must be realistic, the confident exploitation of the national photocopying services depends on the avoidance of arbitrary jumps in photocopying charges.. .X 36 1 792 48 1 792 55 1 792 57 1 792 83 1 792 147 1 792 149 1 792 153 1 792 167 2 792 175 1 792 184 1 792 193 1 792 195 1 792 201 1 792 203 1 792 204 1 792 205 1 792 222 2 792 223 1 792 228 1 792 229 1 792 233 1 792 245 1 792 255 1 792 267 2 792 359 2 792 361 1 792 395 1 792 494 4 792 515 3 792 587 4 792 614 1 792 635 1 792 638 1 792 667 1 792 748 2 792 750 2 792 751 3 792 753 1 792 756 1 792 757 1 792 759 1 792 765 1 792 767 1 792 778 1 792 787 3 792 791 1 792 792 13 792 793 2 792 794 1 792 800 2 792 804 1 792 815 1 792 821 1 792 823 1 792 831 2 792 840 3 792 841 1 792 842 1 792 925 3 792 945 1 792 948 1 792 952 1 792 953 1 792 1081 1 792 1082 1 792 1083 2 792 1085 3 792 1086 2 792 1201 1 792 1210 1 792 1219 1 792 1254 1 792 1256 1 792 1260 1 792 1275 1 792 1278 2 792 1282 1 792 1302 1 792 1317 1 792 1324 1 792 1365 2 792 1369 1 792 1373 1 792 1400 1 792 1401 2 792 1416 1 792 1417 2 792 1418 2 792 1418 2 792 .I 793 .T The 'Half-Life' of Periodical Literature: Apparent and Real Obsolescence .A Line, M.B. .W The expression 'half-life', borrowed from physics, has appeared quite frequently in the literature on documentation since 1960, when an article by Burton and Kebler on The 'half-life' of some scientific and technical literatures was published, although it had certainly been used previously. Burton and Kebler point out that literature becomes obsolescent rather than disintegrating (as in its original meaning), so that 'half-life' means 'half the active life', and this is commonly understood as meaning the time during which one-half of the currently active literature was published. Numerous studies have been carried out, mainly by the analysis of citations, to establish obsolescence rates of the literature of different subjects. Bourne points out that different studies have given widely different results, so that many of the 'half-life' figures reported are not valid beyond the particular sample of literature or users surveyed; certainly they cannot be used as accurate measures for discriminating between different subject-fields. .X 33 4 793 36 2 793 41 1 793 48 1 793 57 1 793 88 1 793 89 1 793 97 1 793 102 2 793 103 1 793 104 1 793 106 3 793 110 1 793 111 4 793 112 3 793 113 2 793 155 1 793 163 1 793 170 1 793 183 1 793 184 2 793 193 2 793 195 1 793 199 1 793 201 1 793 203 2 793 204 1 793 205 1 793 210 1 793 225 1 793 233 1 793 267 2 793 269 1 793 314 1 793 359 1 793 373 1 793 395 1 793 456 2 793 545 2 793 552 1 793 560 1 793 587 7 793 588 1 793 605 1 793 613 1 793 614 4 793 638 2 793 651 1 793 667 1 793 735 1 793 747 2 793 748 2 793 750 4 793 751 2 793 753 1 793 759 1 793 765 2 793 766 1 793 767 3 793 775 3 793 778 2 793 782 1 793 784 1 793 786 1 793 787 1 793 788 1 793 789 1 793 791 2 793 792 2 793 793 16 793 794 5 793 800 9 793 808 4 793 811 1 793 905 1 793 925 1 793 948 1 793 953 1 793 977 1 793 983 2 793 1010 1 793 1016 1 793 1019 1 793 1023 1 793 1030 1 793 1055 1 793 1062 1 793 1081 1 793 1082 1 793 1083 1 793 1085 1 793 1086 2 793 1087 2 793 1090 3 793 1135 1 793 1201 1 793 1222 1 793 1260 1 793 1275 1 793 1276 1 793 1278 2 793 1280 1 793 1285 5 793 1286 1 793 1287 3 793 1291 1 793 1302 1 793 1308 1 793 1335 2 793 1340 1 793 1344 1 793 1346 1 793 1347 1 793 1390 1 793 1397 1 793 1401 1 793 1417 2 793 1418 1 793 1428 1 793 1432 1 793 1432 1 793 .I 794 .T 'Half-Life' .A Vickery, B.C. .B V. 26 1970 .W The first diagram below gives a schematic view of a subject literature that is growing exponentially with time - the number of items published per year doubles in five years.

This was a subject which it was possible to write on or to discuss at great length, advancing a number of theoretical arguments or opinions expressed by pundits, without ever stating a single demonstratable fact. When, in the early 1950's, various people, such as Taube and Mooers, proposed new techniques for indexing, the reaction from the traditionally-minded was such that it appeared there was to be a repetition of all the old arguments. In an editorial in American Documentation in 1955, Perry expressed a viewpoint, shared by many others, when he wrote: Cautious and searching evaluation of all experimental results is essential in rating the efficiency of documentation systems. May the age-old controversies that arose from the conventional concepts of classification not be reborn in the mechanized searching systems of the future. There is hope for the avoidance of such errors if we will but regard documentation systems as useful devices, the benefits of which must be determined, not by polemics, but by the intelligent measurement of such benefits in relation to needs and costs. The machines of the future can make us free, but only if we are willing to subject them, and ourselves, to the most rigid intellectual discipline. .X 38 1 795 72 2 795 84 1 795 120 1 795 149 1 795 160 1 795 197 1 795 382 2 795 486 1 795 488 1 795 489 1 795 490 1 795 491 1 795 492 1 795 493 1 795 494 1 795 495 1 795 496 1 795 497 1 795 499 1 795 500 1 795 506 1 795 558 1 795 565 1 795 572 1 795 581 1 795 583 1 795 584 1 795 586 1 795 625 1 795 628 1 795 633 1 795 634 1 795 643 1 795 659 2 795 696 1 795 705 1 795 736 1 795 752 1 795 781 1 795 789 1 795 795 8 795 796 1 795 798 1 795 801 1 795 814 1 795 824 1 795 826 1 795 901 1 795 902 1 795 906 1 795 907 1 795 986 1 795 1089 1 795 1202 1 795 1209 1 795 1218 1 795 1250 1 795 1255 1 795 1289 1 795 1294 2 795 1414 1 795 1422 1 795 1422 1 795 .I 796 .T Switching Languages for Indexing .A Coates, E.

Retrieval from an information store (a 'library') of those items relevant to a request involves locating a particular class (describing what we think we want) and then, if necessary, adjusting this class - broadening it to find more material or narrowing it if the initial response proves excessive. This implies recognition of the relations between the classes, and the whole operation is often referred to neatly as 'locating and relating'. Assuming that we examine only a limited set of documents (those most likely to be relevant) the operation is entirely one of classification - the recognition of particular classes and their relations. The fact that the instrument we use to assist this operation may display quasi-classificatory features (e.g., alphabetical sequence) or may consist largely of our own brain box and memory store should not hide this otherwise obvious fact. .X 117 1 797 159 2 797 165 1 797 257 2 797 260 1 797 348 1 797 429 1 797 445 1 797 476 1 797 489 1 797 493 1 797 498 1 797 501 1 797 525 1 797 582 1 797 583 2 797 585 1 797 590 1 797 621 1 797 653 1 797 655 2 797 668 1 797 670 1 797 671 1 797 674 1 797 683 1 797 688 1 797 689 1 797 715 2 797 796 1 797 797 5 797 798 3 797 799 1 797 801 2 797 802 1 797 819 1 797 858 1 797 859 1 797 861 1 797 989 1 797 1077 1 797 1230 1 797 1231 1 797 1265 1 797 1393 1 797 1394 1 797 1405 1 797 1405 1 797 .I 798 .T The Thesaurofacet: A Multipurpose Retrieval Language Tool .A Aitchison, Jean .W A description is given of the English Electric 'Thesaurofacet', a faceted classification and thesaurus covering engineering and related scientific, technical, and management subjects.. A novel feature of the system is the integration of the classification schedules and thesaurus.. Each term appears both in the thesaurus and in the schedules.. In the schedules the term is displayed in the most appropriate facet and hierarchy: the thesaurus supplements this information by indicating alternative hierarchies and other relationships which cut across the classified arrangement.. The thesaurus also controls word forms and synonyms and acts as the alphabetical index to the class numbers.. The resulting tool is multipurpose, as easily applicable to shelf arrangement and conventional classified card catalogues as to co-ordinate indexing and computerized retrieval systems.. The reasons are given for modifying certain traditional facet techniques, including the choice of traditional disciplines for main classes, the lack of a 'built-in' preferred order, and the use, in certain instances, of enumeration rather than synthesis to express multi-term concepts.. Methods of application of the Thesaurofacet in pre-coordinate and post-coordinate systems are discussed and brief account is given of the techniques employed in its compilation.. .X 151 2 798 159 2 798 257 2 798 348 1 798 429 1 798 489 1 798 493 1 798 498 1 798 501 1 798 504 1 798 582 1 798 583 2 798 585 1 798 653 1 798 655 2 798 688 1 798 715 1 798 773 1 798 795 1 798 796 2 798 797 3 798 798 7 798 799 1 798 801 1 798 802 1 798 858 1 798 859 1 798 861 1 798 902 1 798 906 1 798 907 1 798 1089 1 798 1118 3 798 1122 1 798 1123 1 798 1133 1 798 1141 1 798 1163 1 798 1175 1 798 1209 1 798 1226 1 798 1230 1 798 1265 1 798 1289 1 798 1294 1 798 1393 1 798 1394 1 798 1405 1 798 1405 1 798 .I 799 .T Access and Recognition: from User's Data to Cataloque Entries .A Tagliacozzo, Renata .A Rosenberg, Lawrence .A Kochen, Manfred .W Patterns of searching in library catalogues were analysed,using the data from a large survey of the use of three university library and one public library catalogues..

Using the concept of utility and considering the sampling variances involved, the paper shows that Line's technique is both questionable and impractical, and that a further factor - the growth of the number of contributors - needs to be allowed for in Vickery's analysis..

H. .W The feasibility is examined of devising a scheme for operating a joint keyword system in a given subject area using several independently compiled thesauri.. It is suggested that if the individual keywords of each participating thesaurus represent indentifiable concepts, and these concepts are given unique code numbers, then the code numbers enable the keywords of any participating thesaurus to be converted into the appropriate keywords of any other participant.. Incompatibilities between keywords systems arise from differences in the selection and form of keywords.. Eleven types of incompatibility are identified and a method of reconciliation is proposed for each.. The types of incompatibility that can arise in a single language include those that arise between one language and another, so that a multilingual joint system presents no additional problems.. .X 16 1 802 114 1 802 148 1 802 151 1 802 154 2 802 159 1 802 194 1 802 212 1 802 257 1 802 333 1 802 346 1 802 429 1 802 449 1 802 454 1 802 458 1 802 477 1 802 489 1 802 493 1 802 498 1 802 501 2 802 504 1 802 530 1 802 553 1 802 582 1 802 583 1 802 627 1 802 628 1 802 653 2 802 655 1 802 688 1 802 770 1 802 781 1 802 796 4 802 797 1 802 798 1 802 801 1 802 802 7 802 819 1 802 838 1 802 874 1 802 877 1 802 878 1 802 940 1 802 941 1 802 989 1 802 992 1 802 993 1 802 995 1 802 1079 1 802 1216 1 802 1392 1 802 1405 1 802 1421 1 802 1431 2 802 1434 1 802 1435 1 802 1436 1 802 1448 1 802 1448 1 802 .I 803 .T Progress in Documentation .A Foskett, D.J. .W The term 'informatics' was first advanced formally by the Director of Viniti, A.I. Mikhailov, and his colleagues A.I. Chernyi and R.S. Gilyarevskii, in their paper Informatics - new name for the theory of Scientific Information published at the end of 1966. An English translation was circularized in the beginning of 1967. As the authors state in this paper, they are not the first to use this term, and they quote a review by Professor J.G. Dorfmann of their own book Fundamentals of Scientific Information in which Dorfmann criticizes the use of other terminology, such as 'documentation', 'documentalistics', 'information science', and so on. Their definition is as stated above but they are careful to add the rider that Informatics does not investigate the specific content of scientific information, only the structure and properties. In their paper they also advance definitions for 'information', 'scientific information', 'scientific information activity', 'information officer', and 'information scientist'. They have backed up their proposal by changing the title of their own book for its second edition, and the title of the information science fascicule of the Referativnyi Zhurnal, which is now called Informatiki. .X 3 1 803 15 1 803 20 1 803 42 1 803 60 1 803 85 2 803 129 1 803 152 1 803 172 1 803 228 1 803 313 1 803 345 1 803 361 1 803 447 1 803 449 1 803 456 1 803 457 1 803 469 1 803 505 1 803 574 1 803 585 2 803 599 2 803 607 1 803 625 1 803 640 1 803 652 1 803 665 2 803 762 1 803 803 7 803 911 1 803 1022 2 803 1045 1 803 1082 1 803 1218 1 803 1268 1 803 1309 2 803 1319 1 803 1386 1 803 1386 1 803 .I 804 .T Several Law Relations in Science Bibliography - A Self-Consistent Interpretation .A Naranan, S. .W Several power law relations are found to occur in bibliographic studies of scientific journals, articles, and citations..

A suitable measure of retrieval performance is then the Recall ratio - the fraction of the relevant references that are retrieved by the system.. When the file is large this method of measuring performance is not practicable, and Recall cannot be measured although it can be estimated.. A number of estimation procedures are examined and found unsatisfactory.. Another measure of retrieval performance is the Extension ratio which is approximately the ratio of the quantity of known relevant references before and after putting a query to the retrieval system.. The properties of this measure are examined and it is applied to 315 MEDLARS searches.. .X 75 1 806 161 1 806 197 1 806 375 1 806 445 1 806 447 1 806 454 1 806 472 1 806 503 1 806 506 1 806 507 1 806 514 1 806 526 1 806 554 1 806 579 1 806 591 1 806 593 1 806 594 1 806 595 1 806 596 1 806 597 1 806 599 1 806 600 1 806 603 1 806 604 1 806 606 1 806 623 1 806 639 1 806 660 1 806 696 1 806 723 1 806 724 1 806 752 1 806 801 1 806 805 1 806 806 5 806 836 1 806 866 1 806 867 1 806 956 1 806 989 1 806 1298 1 806 1299 1 806 1327 1 806 1405 1 806 1405 1 806 .I 807 .T Free Text Word Retrieval and Scientist Indexing: Performance Profile and Costs .A Hersey, D. F. .A Foster, W. R. .A Stalder, E. W. .A Carlson, W. T. .W Comparative performance profiles were determined, by two independent scientific information centres, for on-line retrieval by means of (a) free text words and (b) subject indexing codes, from a data base of 4,600 descriptions of in-going research projects in four broad subject areas.. Altogether, thirty-nine questions that users had previously asked of the Science Information Exchange (SIE) of the Smithsonian Institution, and that were in the four subjects areas, were employed by SIE staff scientists, and twelve of these were independently used by staff members of the Biological Science Communication Project (BSCP) of the George Washington University.. Results of the two studies showed average recall values 30-40% higher, and relevance values 15-20% higher, for subject index code use as compared with text word use.. Advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are discussed.. .X 63 1 807 150 1 807 175 2 807 348 1 807 382 1 807 389 1 807 390 1 807 487 1 807 501 1 807 502 1 807 510 1 807 565 1 807 566 1 807 579 1 807 596 1 807 600 1 807 601 1 807 603 1 807 726 1 807 799 1 807 805 1 807 807 8 807 813 1 807 820 1 807 863 1 807 864 1 807 956 1 807 963 1 807 987 1 807 988 1 807 989 1 807 1152 1 807 1265 1 807 1294 2 807 1298 1 807 1327 2 807 1448 1 807 1448 1 807 .I 808 .T The Use of Older Literature and Its Obsolescence .A Sandison, A. .W Terminalogy and parameters for describing the relation between figures for the use of library literature and for its age are discussed.. Unless a correction for growth is applied, half-life fails a simple test of suitability, as do Brookes's aging and utility factors.. Results based on cumulated data have other important disadvantages.. Relative 'use-per-item' figures are satisfactory.. The need to relate terminology more closely to the facts they represent is stressed: item-consultation decay rate, and 50% consultation probability age are suggested and defined.. In the context of citation studies, item-citation decay rate and 50% citation probability age are equivalent and avoid similar objections.. In data from NRLSI, item-consultation decay rates are only approximately exponential.. Different rates are demonstrated for updating and basic searches, for academic and other types of readers, and for types of literature.. For some historical searches negative decay rates were found in the NRLSI and BML.. .X 33 3 808 36 2 808 41 1 808 76 1 808 89 1 808 90 1 808 97 1 808 102 1 808 111 1 808 112 1 808 155 1 808 161 1 808 163 1 808 183 2 808 184 2 808 193 2 808 199 2 808 201 1 808 202 1 808 203 2 808 204 1 808 205 1 808 209 1 808 210 1 808 212 1 808 217 1 808 220 1 808 222 1 808 225 1 808 269 1 808 284 1 808 286 1 808 294 1 808 314 1 808 373 1 808 543 1 808 545 1 808 552 1 808 587 3 808 588 1 808 605 1 808 613 2 808 614 2 808 624 1 808 638 2 808 735 1 808 747 1 808 750 2 808 753 2 808 756 1 808 764 1 808 766 1 808 767 1 808 775 3 808 782 1 808 784 1 808 788 1 808 789 1 808 793 4 808 794 2 808 799 1 808 800 4 808 808 8 808 905 1 808 953 1 808 959 1 808 977 1 808 983 1 808 1016 1 808 1023 1 808 1030 1 808 1055 1 808 1087 1 808 1090 2 808 1097 1 808 1098 1 808 1109 1 808 1111 1 808 1123 2 808 1125 1 808 1135 1 808 1151 1 808 1172 1 808 1174 1 808 1260 1 808 1275 1 808 1276 1 808 1278 1 808 1280 1 808 1285 4 808 1286 1 808 1287 2 808 1302 2 808 1308 1 808 1335 1 808 1390 1 808 1397 1 808 1417 1 808 1428 1 808 1432 1 808 1432 1 808 .I 809 .T A Single Computer-Based System for Both Current Awareness and Retrospective Search: Operating Experience with ASSASSIN .A Clough, C.

This divides the file into retrieved and not-retrieved references.. An alternative is to assign each reference score calculated from its index terms and to retrieve the N highest scoring references in the file.. This scoring technique has several advantages in theory, and it performed slightly better in a retrieval test with N equal to the number of references retrieved by the corresponding Boolean search.. In the test a minimum value of N = 10 was used, and when less then this number of references matched the Boolean search requirement, the Scoring technique successfully widened the score of the search and retrieved twice as many relevant references as the Boolean searches.. .X 18 1 810 34 1 810 49 1 810 51 1 810 53 1 810 54 2 810 57 1 810 59 1 810 69 1 810 71 1 810 73 1 810 75 1 810 77 2 810 79 2 810 150 1 810 164 1 810 168 1 810 175 3 810 176 2 810 202 1 810 213 1 810 224 1 810 243 1 810 315 1 810 319 2 810 329 1 810 382 1 810 421 1 810 448 2 810 465 1 810 466 2 810 471 1 810 480 1 810 483 1 810 484 1 810 486 1 810 488 1 810 490 1 810 491 2 810 493 1 810 503 1 810 506 1 810 507 2 810 509 2 810 510 2 810 512 2 810 517 1 810 518 1 810 519 1 810 520 1 810 522 1 810 527 1 810 528 1 810 531 3 810 565 4 810 566 1 810 572 1 810 581 1 810 591 1 810 595 2 810 596 2 810 603 2 810 604 1 810 608 2 810 619 1 810 622 1 810 623 1 810 625 2 810 629 1 810 633 2 810 634 1 810 639 1 810 659 3 810 660 3 810 676 1 810 711 1 810 714 1 810 715 1 810 722 1 810 723 1 810 726 1 810 728 1 810 730 1 810 731 1 810 732 1 810 754 1 810 780 1 810 785 1 810 790 1 810 805 1 810 809 2 810 810 10 810 812 5 810 813 3 810 814 5 810 817 2 810 820 1 810 822 1 810 824 1 810 825 1 810 828 1 810 870 2 810 879 1 810 894 4 810 928 1 810 960 1 810 963 1 810 990 1 810 991 1 810 1051 1 810 1091 1 810 1219 1 810 1255 1 810 1283 1 810 1294 2 810 1298 1 810 1299 1 810 1307 1 810 1327 2 810 1363 1 810 1366 1 810 1367 1 810 1368 1 810 1396 1 810 1413 1 810 1419 1 810 1427 2 810 1445 1 810 1445 1 810 .I 811 .T Measuring Readers' Failure at the Shelf .A Urquhart, John A. .A Schofield, J. L. .W This paper is concerned with the availability of books known to be held by the Library.. It outlines a simple survey method whereby readers record the non-availability of books which they are looking for.. The survey has already been installed at four university libraries, but the results from only one library are considered here.. These results show how a librarian can find out the degree of non-availability or failure in any particular area of the library, the causes of failure, and even the particular items which are in heavy demand and not available.. They also provide information on the degree of co-operation by the readers, the number of titles failing once, twice, three times etc., the overlap of demand for popular books by different groups of borrowers, the waiting time for books that failed, the pattern of demand for particular books over a period of time, the relationship between failure and recall, the correlation of failure from one term to the next, and the relative use of books inside and outside the library.. From the results it was possible to recommend certain changes in library procedure which should have reduced failure, and to compare the titles of books failing in the Main Library with the holdings of a departmental library.. The time spent on the survey and the total cost of the survey are also given.. .X 4 2 811 5 2 811 9 2 811 32 1 811 33 1 811 96 1 811 115 1 811 137 1 811 163 1 811 207 7 811 217 1 811 222 1 811 223 1 811 234 3 811 245 2 811 267 1 811 296 1 811 297 1 811 298 1 811 300 1 811 301 1 811 302 1 811 358 1 811 364 3 811 365 1 811 456 1 811 502 3 811 515 1 811 535 1 811 614 1 811 625 1 811 629 1 811 631 1 811 634 1 811 638 2 811 651 1 811 748 1 811 751 1 811 764 2 811 765 1 811 766 1 811 768 1 811 774 1 811 778 1 811 783 2 811 786 1 811 791 2 811 793 1 811 799 1 811 800 1 811 811 14 811 816 7 811 818 2 811 823 2 811 842 2 811 843 1 811 844 1 811 846 1 811 913 1 811 915 1 811 925 4 811 944 1 811 948 3 811 959 1 811 960 1 811 961 3 811 962 3 811 963 3 811 964 3 811 968 1 811 983 1 811 994 3 811 1015 1 811 1019 1 811 1023 1 811 1068 1 811 1203 1 811 1242 1 811 1247 1 811 1257 1 811 1268 1 811 1321 1 811 1354 1 811 1400 1 811 1407 1 811 1445 1 811 1445 1 811 .I 812 .T A Statistical Interpretation of Term Specificity and Its Application in Retrieval .A Sparck-Jones, K. .W The exhaustivity of document descriptions and the specificity of index terms are usually regarded as independent.. It is suggested that specificity should be interpreted statistically, as a function of term use rather than of term meaning.. The effect on retrieval of variations in term specificity are examined, experiments with three test collections showing in particular that frequently-occurring terms are required for good overall performance.. It is argued that terms should be weighted according to collection frequency, so that matches on less frequent, more specific, terms are of greater value than matches on frequent terms.. Results for the test collections show that considerable improvements in performance are obtained with this very simple procedure.. .X 18 1 812 26 1 812 51 2 812 57 3 812 69 1 812 71 1 812 73 2 812 75 2 812 77 1 812 79 2 812 124 1 812 125 2 812 145 1 812 165 1 812 168 1 812 175 1 812 176 3 812 211 1 812 274 1 812 315 2 812 329 1 812 378 1 812 381 1 812 382 1 812 389 1 812 390 1 812 419 3 812 440 1 812 441 1 812 445 1 812 448 2 812 449 1 812 452 2 812 453 1 812 466 1 812 467 1 812 468 1 812 480 1 812 483 1 812 484 2 812 486 1 812 488 1 812 491 1 812 493 1 812 495 1 812 503 1 812 506 1 812 507 1 812 508 1 812 509 2 812 510 1 812 511 2 812 512 2 812 514 1 812 516 1 812 517 2 812 518 2 812 520 2 812 521 2 812 522 2 812 523 2 812 524 1 812 526 2 812 527 2 812 528 3 812 529 1 812 531 5 812 565 4 812 566 2 812 572 1 812 575 2 812 576 1 812 577 3 812 580 1 812 581 1 812 595 1 812 596 2 812 603 1 812 604 1 812 608 2 812 609 1 812 610 1 812 612 1 812 615 1 812 619 2 812 622 1 812 623 1 812 625 3 812 626 1 812 629 1 812 631 1 812 632 1 812 633 2 812 634 2 812 636 1 812 643 1 812 644 2 812 649 2 812 652 1 812 659 2 812 660 3 812 662 1 812 699 1 812 700 2 812 705 2 812 707 2 812 715 1 812 723 1 812 726 1 812 727 2 812 728 1 812 729 1 812 730 1 812 731 1 812 752 3 812 754 4 812 780 3 812 785 1 812 790 1 812 805 1 812 809 1 812 810 5 812 812 15 812 813 3 812 814 5 812 817 3 812 820 1 812 822 1 812 824 5 812 825 1 812 829 1 812 830 1 812 866 1 812 870 2 812 873 1 812 875 1 812 894 3 812 895 1 812 928 1 812 956 1 812 963 1 812 990 1 812 991 1 812 1051 1 812 1078 1 812 1089 1 812 1091 1 812 1143 1 812 1255 1 812 1264 1 812 1282 2 812 1294 2 812 1302 1 812 1303 2 812 1307 1 812 1327 4 812 1364 1 812 1366 2 812 1367 2 812 1368 2 812 1396 1 812 1413 1 812 1419 1 812 1427 1 812 1445 1 812 1445 1 812 .I 813 .T Comparative Efficiency of Searching Titles, Abstracts, and Terms in a Free-Text Data Base .A Barcer, F. H. .A Veal, D. C. .A Wyatt, B. K. .W The choice of the suitable data base for providing an information service is governed by factors of coverage, performance, and cost.. The cost of the data base to subscribers is a known quantity, and the coverage is decided by the data base producers.. This paper describes an investigation into the relative performance of the four major Chemical Abstracts Service magnetic tape data-base, Chemical Titles (CT), which contains the titles of citations only, Chemical Abstracts Condensates (CAC), which contains titles enriched with keyword phrases, Chemical-Biological Activities (CBAC),and Polymer Science and Technology (POST), both of which contain full digests in addition to titles.. The performance was measured in terms of the relative currency of the four data-bases, on the retrieval efficiency of profiles searched against them.. Fifty questions from industrial and government research organizations were used in the experiment.. Search profiles corresponding to these questions were constructed for searching against each database, output was assessed for relevance by users, and profile performance figures (precision and recall ratios) were calculated for each profile.. The overall retrieval efficiency of profiles searched against data-bases containing titles only, titles-plus-keywords, and titles-plus-digests, was calculated, and these results are presented.. .X 18 2 813 34 1 813 38 1 813 49 1 813 51 1 813 53 1 813 57 1 813 59 1 813 69 1 813 71 1 813 75 1 813 77 1 813 79 1 813 91 1 813 125 1 813 145 1 813 150 1 813 164 2 813 168 1 813 175 1 813 176 2 813 202 1 813 211 1 813 213 1 813 224 1 813 243 1 813 315 1 813 329 1 813 378 1 813 382 1 813 421 2 813 439 1 813 440 2 813 448 1 813 452 1 813 453 1 813 465 1 813 466 1 813 467 2 813 468 1 813 480 1 813 483 1 813 484 1 813 486 1 813 488 1 813 490 2 813 491 3 813 493 1 813 495 1 813 503 1 813 506 3 813 507 2 813 508 1 813 509 1 813 510 4 813 511 1 813 512 3 813 514 2 813 517 2 813 520 3 813 521 1 813 522 1 813 523 1 813 524 1 813 526 1 813 527 1 813 528 2 813 531 1 813 565 2 813 566 1 813 572 1 813 576 1 813 580 2 813 581 1 813 582 1 813 591 1 813 595 2 813 596 2 813 603 5 813 604 2 813 608 2 813 609 3 813 612 1 813 619 2 813 622 2 813 623 2 813 629 2 813 631 1 813 632 1 813 633 3 813 639 1 813 659 2 813 676 1 813 696 1 813 699 1 813 700 1 813 705 1 813 707 1 813 711 1 813 715 1 813 722 1 813 723 2 813 726 4 813 727 2 813 728 2 813 729 1 813 730 2 813 731 2 813 732 1 813 754 2 813 755 1 813 790 1 813 805 1 813 807 1 813 809 3 813 810 3 813 812 3 813 813 9 813 814 5 813 817 1 813 820 4 813 822 3 813 824 1 813 825 1 813 827 1 813 828 1 813 866 1 813 870 4 813 873 1 813 879 1 813 894 2 813 928 1 813 963 1 813 990 1 813 991 1 813 1051 1 813 1078 1 813 1089 1 813 1091 4 813 1143 1 813 1255 1 813 1264 1 813 1283 1 813 1294 1 813 1298 2 813 1299 1 813 1302 1 813 1303 1 813 1327 1 813 1363 1 813 1366 2 813 1367 2 813 1368 2 813 1396 3 813 1413 1 813 1419 1 813 1427 1 813 1445 1 813 1448 2 813 1448 2 813 .I 814 .T Towards Automatic Profile Construction .A Barker, F.H.

L. .W This paper continues the reporting of the Unit's work on a method of investigating how often readers fail to find what they are looking for on the shelves, why they fail, and what particular books they fail to find.. The method used is a slight modification of the earlier one - readers were asked to record on a slip provided the details of the book or periodical they were looking for, or subject area they were looking in, their academic status, and the date, and then to place the slip in an adjoining box.. Fron analysis of these 'failure' slips it was possible to determine the cause of the reader's failure, the individual book the reader was looking for, and the pattern of failure for different groups of volumes.. A new development was surveys of samples of readers, carried out during the fortnight of peak demand.. Answers to these surveys provided information on the effect or failure on a reader's work, what action he took after failing, whether he found adequate substitutes, how many books he found by browsing, and what proportion of the books he consulted he borrowed.. Some of these answers could be checked by a direct count of the books used in, and borrowed from, the library.. The investigations were carried out in three University libraries, each with its own characteristic library structure and teaching patterns.. These differences were reflected in the results obtained..

A simplistic statement, perhaps, but it is rare that a library's objectives are defined in any terms other than the broadest - for example, 'to meet the needs of its users'. In fact, the definition of objectives in any service organization is likely to be an iterative process, but the explicit commitment to users' needs (however mystical this concept may be) requires the librarian to examine users' behaviour as a first step to determining policy. Since a complete state-of-the-art in user behaviour would fill a substantial book, this survey is restricted to drawing together some threads of research of potential application in university libraries. Methodological problems are not discussed here, since these are adequately reviewed elsewhere. .X 5 1 818 9 1 818 115 1 818 128 1 818 129 1 818 130 1 818 167 1 818 207 1 818 222 1 818 223 2 818 225 1 818 234 2 818 245 1 818 280 1 818 296 1 818 297 1 818 298 1 818 300 2 818 301 1 818 302 1 818 358 1 818 364 2 818 365 1 818 370 2 818 393 1 818 439 1 818 468 1 818 494 1 818 515 1 818 528 1 818 535 1 818 614 1 818 624 1 818 625 1 818 629 1 818 631 1 818 634 1 818 639 1 818 646 1 818 647 1 818 648 1 818 651 1 818 764 1 818 765 1 818 768 2 818 774 1 818 791 1 818 811 2 818 816 2 818 818 8 818 822 1 818 823 3 818 827 1 818 839 1 818 842 1 818 843 2 818 844 1 818 845 1 818 846 1 818 847 2 818 915 1 818 925 2 818 943 1 818 944 2 818 948 1 818 961 2 818 962 1 818 964 1 818 994 1 818 1015 1 818 1020 1 818 1023 1 818 1070 1 818 1085 1 818 1242 1 818 1246 1 818 1247 1 818 1253 1 818 1257 1 818 1268 1 818 1354 1 818 1374 1 818 1390 1 818 1401 2 818 1437 1 818 1437 1 818 .I 819 .T Document Analysis and Linguistic Theory .A Gardin, Lean-Claude .W In this presentation I shell be concerned with only one aspect of information science and its relation with linguistics: namely document analysis.. 'Document analysis' is here understood in following sense: the extraction of meaning of documents - in the present case written documents.. We could define the latter without reference to the usual distinction between 'scientific literature' (the object of document analysis in information science) and other kinds of texts - historical records, myths, folklore, sacred writings, etc.).. Indeed, one of my theses in that there is little hope of understanding the kind of intellectual operations involved in the analysis of scientific documents, or questions pertaining to them other than through a study of textual analysis in general, as carried out in many disciplines - history, sociology, cultural anthropology, exegesis. etc. (Gardin, 1969).. For the purpose of this presentation, however, I shall concentrate on the handling of scientific documents in the first, narrower sense, and only refer to other categories of texts in so far as they have been submitted to analytical processes of a comparable nature.. .X 117 1 819 146 1 819 165 1 819 168 1 819 333 1 819 445 1 819 449 1 819 476 1 819 498 1 819 525 1 819 530 1 819 553 1 819 572 1 819 574 1 819 590 1 819 621 1 819 628 1 819 668 1 819 670 1 819 671 1 819 674 1 819 683 1 819 689 1 819 715 1 819 790 1 819 797 1 819 802 1 819 819 5 819 830 1 819 874 1 819 877 1 819 878 1 819 940 1 819 941 1 819 992 1 819 993 1 819 995 1 819 1024 1 819 1027 1 819 1077 1 819 1079 1 819 1215 1 819 1216 1 819 1231 2 819 1421 1 819 1434 1 819 1435 1 819 1436 1 819 1443 1 819 1443 1 819 .I 820 .T Studies to Compare Retrieval Using Titles with that Using Index Terms. SDI from 'Nuclear Science Abstracts' .A Olive, G. .A Terry, J. E. .A Datta, S. .W A Selective dissemination of Information service based on computer scanning of Nuclear Science Abstracts tapes has operated at Harwell since October 1968.. Users' interest profiles are constructed using Euratom index terms and NSA subject categories assigned to each item in NSA.. The performance of the mechanized SDI service has been compared with that of the pre-existing current awareness service which is based on visual scanning of journals and reports by information staff.. The visual service was found to be providing an important service of good currency and high precision, about 85%, to a limited number of users.. the mechanized service is less selective and of lower precision, approximately 50%, but can be expanded more readily.. In order to compare the effectiveness of Euratom index terms and words on titles for computer SDI matching, an experiment was set up in which sixty users of the mechanized service assessed NSA document notifications which were generated by matching either index terms and subject categories, or words in titles and subject categories, without being aware of the method of matching.. Over 10,000 document assessments, fron six issues of NSA were returned.. The average precision was 45.6% for index terms and 47.3% for title words.. Index terms retrieved more documents, in the ratio 1.13:1, but both systems missed many relevant documents retrieved by the other.. Index terms retrieved only 58% of the relevant documents selected by titles.. The converse ratio was 51%.. No significant effects of document types or subject on the relative effectiveness of two matching systems were found, but when the results were analyzed by title length it appeared that for titles longer than about 100 characters title words gave recall equal to that of index terms, though with a lower precision.. A detailed study of samples of items found by visual scanning but missed by computer matching or found by one computer method but not by the other, was made to identify reasons for failure.. .X 10 1 820 18 2 820 28 1 820 34 1 820 38 1 820 49 1 820 53 1 820 59 1 820 86 1 820 124 1 820 125 1 820 127 1 820 129 1 820 145 1 820 150 1 820 157 1 820 164 1 820 175 1 820 190 2 820 191 1 820 197 1 820 202 1 820 211 2 820 213 1 820 214 1 820 218 1 820 224 1 820 225 1 820 243 2 820 244 1 820 304 1 820 305 1 820 306 1 820 307 1 820 330 1 820 358 1 820 378 2 820 381 1 820 382 1 820 385 1 820 389 2 820 390 1 820 394 1 820 421 1 820 433 1 820 440 1 820 450 1 820 451 1 820 452 2 820 453 1 820 459 2 820 465 1 820 466 1 820 467 1 820 468 3 820 484 1 820 490 1 820 491 1 820 492 1 820 495 1 820 506 2 820 507 1 820 508 2 820 510 3 820 511 2 820 512 3 820 514 5 820 517 1 820 518 2 820 520 4 820 521 1 820 523 2 820 524 2 820 525 1 820 526 2 820 528 1 820 529 1 820 530 1 820 534 2 820 546 1 820 553 1 820 570 1 820 576 2 820 579 1 820 580 1 820 582 1 820 586 1 820 589 1 820 591 1 820 594 1 820 595 2 820 603 4 820 604 3 820 606 1 820 608 1 820 609 2 820 610 1 820 611 1 820 612 2 820 615 1 820 619 1 820 622 2 820 623 2 820 625 1 820 626 1 820 629 2 820 630 1 820 631 1 820 632 1 820 633 2 820 636 2 820 637 1 820 639 1 820 642 1 820 643 1 820 646 1 820 648 1 820 650 1 820 659 2 820 676 1 820 692 1 820 696 1 820 699 2 820 700 1 820 702 1 820 703 1 820 705 2 820 707 1 820 708 1 820 711 1 820 722 1 820 723 2 820 726 5 820 727 2 820 728 3 820 729 1 820 730 2 820 731 4 820 732 3 820 733 1 820 734 1 820 736 1 820 738 1 820 739 1 820 740 1 820 741 1 820 742 1 820 743 1 820 744 1 820 752 1 820 754 1 820 755 2 820 785 1 820 807 1 820 809 1 820 810 1 820 812 1 820 813 4 820 814 2 820 817 1 820 820 9 820 822 4 820 823 1 820 825 1 820 826 2 820 827 4 820 828 2 820 829 1 820 866 1 820 870 2 820 873 1 820 879 2 820 883 1 820 894 1 820 895 1 820 947 1 820 948 1 820 1004 1 820 1017 1 820 1035 1 820 1058 1 820 1078 2 820 1089 2 820 1091 5 820 1143 1 820 1146 1 820 1207 1 820 1230 1 820 1257 1 820 1264 2 820 1282 1 820 1283 1 820 1297 1 820 1298 1 820 1299 1 820 1302 1 820 1303 2 820 1313 1 820 1327 1 820 1356 1 820 1363 1 820 1364 1 820 1366 2 820 1367 2 820 1368 3 820 1370 1 820 1372 1 820 1373 1 820 1374 1 820 1375 1 820 1376 1 820 1377 1 820 1390 1 820 1396 2 820 1419 1 820 1448 2 820 1448 2 820 .I 821 .T Recent Growth of the Literature of Biochemistry and Changes in Ranking of Periodicals .A Sengupta, I. N. .W The ideas and techniques of physics have been systematically applied to the study of living matter since the 1950s and 1960s.. As a result a rapid and large increase has taken place in the research activity in this field and biophysics and molecular biology have emerged as important areas of study.. The consequent enormous growth of literature in the field has created great difficulties in tracking out the significant literature of the subject.. To cope with this unprecedented growth of literature, a ranking list of periodicals in this field has been prepared on the basis of citations in the Annual review of biochemistry for 1968, 1969, and 1970.. This list is expected to reflect the impact of literature on the progress of biochemical knowledge more accurately than the list prepared by Henkle in 1938.. The present list brings out the predominant position of biochemical research in the total scientific effort today, and the increasing bias of cognate disciplines towards biochemical methodologies.. A method of analysis of the number of citations in relation to size of the journal concerned and average length of the papers published has been developed and applied in this study.. The analysis yields three parameters which should be useful in assessing the actual scientific interest of a journal in relation to the number of paper published, compactness of the information content, and the scientific value of the paper in relation to compactness of presentation.. The results of the present study have been discussed in relation to Bradford's Law of Scattering and an extension of the Law has been suggested, namely, that during phases of rapid and vigorous growth of knowledge in a scientific disciplines, articles of interest to that discipline appear in increasing numbers in periodicals distant from that field.. It is expected that the present ranking list will enable librarians and other professional workers in the field of biochemistry to select journals from the viewpoint of their significance to the active areas or present day biochemical research.. .X 48 1 821 167 1 821 189 1 821 193 1 821 195 1 821 196 1 821 198 1 821 201 2 821 219 1 821 379 1 821 588 1 821 614 2 821 616 1 821 635 1 821 638 2 821 685 1 821 735 1 821 748 1 821 753 1 821 756 1 821 757 1 821 775 1 821 787 1 821 792 1 821 821 5 821 831 1 821 905 1 821 952 1 821 953 1 821 1083 1 821 1210 1 821 1254 1 821 1256 1 821 1260 1 821 1275 3 821 1278 1 821 1290 1 821 1302 3 821 1352 1 821 1355 2 821 1369 2 821 1373 1 821 1397 1 821 1418 1 821 1418 1 821 .I 822 .T A Cost Survey of Mechanized Information Systems .A Vickers, P. H. .W In the course of the survey covered by this paper, cost data were collected by visiting eighteen operational computer-based systems in Europe and the USA, using a structured cost analysis scheme.. The sample included data-base producers and self-contained systems that both create, and provide services from, a data base.. From the data obtained, unit costs have been derived for most operations, and the factors contributing to variations in the figures are discussed.. Analysis of the data has shown that costs are affected more significantly by factors such as system management, salary variations, and productivity of staff, than by technical factors such as depth of indexing, data preparation methods, or computer programming.. The total operating budgets of most of the systems have also been analysed to show the overall pattern of cost distribution, including overheads.. .X 18 2 822 28 1 822 34 1 822 38 1 822 49 1 822 53 1 822 59 1 822 125 1 822 128 1 822 129 1 822 130 1 822 141 1 822 145 1 822 157 1 822 164 2 822 167 1 822 172 1 822 175 1 822 178 1 822 202 1 822 211 1 822 213 1 822 223 1 822 224 2 822 225 1 822 234 1 822 243 1 822 244 1 822 280 1 822 298 1 822 299 1 822 365 1 822 374 1 822 378 1 822 381 4 822 389 1 822 393 1 822 419 1 822 421 1 822 440 1 822 452 1 822 453 1 822 456 1 822 458 1 822 465 1 822 466 1 822 467 1 822 468 3 822 481 1 822 490 1 822 491 2 822 494 1 822 495 1 822 506 2 822 507 2 822 508 1 822 510 2 822 511 1 822 512 2 822 514 4 822 517 1 822 518 1 822 520 3 822 521 1 822 523 2 822 524 1 822 526 1 822 528 1 822 529 1 822 554 1 822 575 1 822 576 1 822 579 1 822 580 1 822 582 1 822 591 3 822 595 3 822 599 1 822 603 3 822 604 2 822 609 1 822 612 1 822 615 2 822 619 2 822 620 1 822 621 1 822 622 2 822 623 3 822 625 1 822 629 2 822 630 2 822 631 1 822 632 1 822 633 2 822 639 3 822 646 2 822 647 1 822 651 1 822 659 1 822 676 1 822 699 1 822 700 1 822 705 1 822 707 1 822 711 1 822 722 1 822 723 2 822 726 3 822 727 1 822 728 2 822 729 1 822 730 2 822 731 2 822 732 1 822 752 2 822 754 1 822 755 1 822 765 1 822 779 1 822 780 1 822 785 1 822 809 1 822 810 1 822 812 1 822 813 3 822 814 2 822 817 1 822 818 1 822 820 4 822 822 14 822 823 1 822 827 3 822 828 1 822 829 1 822 854 1 822 866 1 822 870 2 822 871 1 822 872 1 822 873 2 822 874 1 822 875 1 822 876 1 822 877 1 822 878 1 822 879 2 822 880 1 822 892 1 822 895 1 822 907 2 822 925 1 822 940 1 822 941 1 822 943 1 822 944 1 822 990 1 822 994 1 822 997 1 822 998 1 822 1070 1 822 1078 1 822 1079 1 822 1085 1 822 1089 1 822 1091 4 822 1143 2 822 1230 1 822 1257 1 822 1264 1 822 1282 1 822 1283 1 822 1298 1 822 1299 1 822 1302 1 822 1303 2 822 1363 1 822 1366 2 822 1367 2 822 1368 2 822 1374 1 822 1390 1 822 1396 3 822 1401 1 822 1435 1 822 1436 1 822 1437 1 822 1448 1 822 1448 1 822 .I 823 .T Progress in Documentation: Measuring the Goodness of Library Services: A General Framework for Considering Quantitative Measures .A Orr, R.H. .W The literature of the last few decades reflects a steadily increasing concern with quantitative assessment of libraries and their services. This concern is both the result of, and a reaction to, growing pressures from within and without the library profession to adopt the tools of the management sciences. The pressures are generated by many factors including the success of these tools in other fields and their adoption by the organizations supporting libraries, the increasingly explicit character of competition for funds at all levels, and the complexity and critical nature of decisions on the host of new options being created by technology and by formalization of library networks. .X 4 1 823 5 1 823 9 1 823 10 1 823 115 1 823 126 1 823 128 2 823 129 1 823 130 1 823 158 1 823 167 1 823 190 1 823 207 1 823 222 2 823 223 2 823 225 2 823 234 2 823 244 1 823 245 1 823 249 1 823 267 1 823 280 1 823 292 1 823 293 1 823 296 1 823 297 1 823 298 2 823 300 1 823 301 1 823 302 1 823 304 1 823 305 1 823 306 1 823 358 2 823 364 2 823 365 1 823 385 1 823 393 1 823 394 1 823 418 1 823 433 1 823 449 1 823 459 1 823 468 1 823 494 2 823 515 2 823 525 1 823 526 1 823 533 1 823 534 1 823 535 1 823 560 1 823 574 1 823 587 1 823 616 1 823 625 1 823 629 1 823 631 1 823 634 1 823 639 1 823 640 1 823 646 2 823 647 2 823 651 1 823 652 1 823 702 1 823 731 1 823 732 1 823 764 1 823 765 1 823 768 1 823 774 1 823 791 1 823 792 1 823 811 2 823 816 2 823 817 1 823 818 3 823 820 1 823 822 1 823 823 9 823 825 1 823 826 1 823 827 3 823 828 1 823 840 1 823 841 1 823 842 3 823 843 2 823 844 2 823 846 1 823 888 1 823 915 1 823 919 1 823 925 4 823 943 1 823 944 2 823 947 1 823 948 4 823 961 1 823 962 1 823 964 1 823 994 1 823 1003 1 823 1015 1 823 1017 1 823 1023 1 823 1058 1 823 1069 1 823 1070 2 823 1085 1 823 1146 1 823 1214 1 823 1219 1 823 1230 1 823 1242 2 823 1247 1 823 1257 2 823 1268 1 823 1291 1 823 1305 1 823 1306 1 823 1313 1 823 1315 1 823 1317 1 823 1324 1 823 1340 1 823 1354 1 823 1374 1 823 1390 2 823 1401 2 823 1416 1 823 1417 1 823 1437 1 823 1445 1 823 1445 1 823 .I 824 .T On the Specification of Term Values in Automatic Indexing .A Salton, G. .A Yang, C.

This will serve not only as an introduction for those who are not familiar with the system, but will also help to explain the relevance of some of the historical sections which follow, in which we shall see how a machine-produced alphabetical indexing system, based on a syntax derived from a study of natural language, developed out of research into principles for a new general classification. PRECIS, or the PREserved Context Indexing System, differs in some respects from traditional alphabetical indexes and lists of subject headings. Like the system developed by Coates for the British Technology Index, PRECIS consists essentially of a set of working procedures, not a prescribed list of terms or phrases. The system is firmly based upon the concept of an open-ended vocabulary, which means that terms can be admitted into the index at any time, as soon as they have been encountered in literature. Once a term has been admitted, its relationships with other terms are handled in two different ways, distinguished as the syntactical and the semantic sides of the system. .X 10 1 825 51 1 825 69 1 825 71 1 825 77 1 825 79 2 825 86 1 825 92 1 825 146 1 825 160 1 825 168 2 825 172 1 825 175 1 825 176 1 825 190 1 825 194 1 825 225 1 825 244 1 825 246 1 825 258 1 825 304 1 825 305 1 825 306 1 825 315 1 825 358 1 825 361 1 825 365 1 825 382 2 825 385 1 825 394 1 825 422 1 825 433 1 825 448 1 825 453 1 825 458 1 825 459 1 825 478 1 825 480 2 825 483 1 825 484 1 825 486 1 825 487 1 825 488 1 825 491 1 825 493 1 825 503 1 825 507 1 825 509 1 825 510 1 825 512 1 825 517 1 825 520 1 825 522 1 825 527 1 825 528 1 825 530 1 825 531 1 825 534 1 825 565 1 825 566 1 825 577 1 825 581 1 825 596 1 825 603 1 825 608 2 825 633 1 825 641 1 825 643 1 825 644 1 825 645 1 825 649 1 825 650 1 825 652 1 825 659 1 825 702 1 825 709 1 825 715 1 825 731 1 825 732 1 825 746 1 825 754 1 825 755 1 825 781 1 825 790 1 825 805 1 825 809 1 825 810 1 825 812 1 825 813 1 825 814 1 825 817 4 825 820 1 825 823 1 825 824 2 825 825 19 825 826 1 825 827 1 825 828 1 825 830 1 825 856 1 825 880 1 825 883 1 825 886 1 825 888 1 825 894 1 825 901 1 825 913 1 825 930 1 825 941 1 825 943 1 825 947 1 825 948 1 825 950 1 825 963 1 825 966 1 825 978 1 825 988 1 825 997 2 825 1004 1 825 1017 1 825 1024 2 825 1051 1 825 1054 1 825 1058 1 825 1061 1 825 1079 1 825 1146 2 825 1215 7 825 1216 2 825 1230 3 825 1257 2 825 1258 1 825 1266 1 825 1294 1 825 1327 1 825 1390 1 825 1394 1 825 1395 1 825 1419 1 825 1421 1 825 1427 1 825 1433 1 825 1441 2 825 1441 2 825 .I 826 .T User Evaluation of Information Retrieval Systems .A Cleverdon, C.W. .W While Fairthorne may not have been the first person to recognize it, certainly, for this author, Fairthorne was the first to make explicit the fundamental problems of information retrieval systems, namely the clash between OBNA and ABNO (Only-But-Not-All and All-But-Not-Only). Although it was not until 1958 that the terms occur in Fairthorne's writings, the concept had been discussed in many meetings of the AGARD Documentation Panel and elsewhere. Originally it was considered that to meet these two requirements, it might be necessary to have two separate systems, and the test of the UNITERM system in 1954 was based on the hypothesis that a 'Marshalling' system (e.g. U.D.C.) was fundamentally different from a 'Retrieval' system (e.g. UNITERM). While the idea persisted in this form for some time, it gradually evolved into the inverse relationship of recall and precision, which is to say that while it is possible to obtain, of the relevant documents, All-But-Not-Only, or alternatively to obtain Only-But- Not-All, it is not possible to obtain All and Only. .X 10 1 826 18 1 826 61 1 826 120 1 826 124 1 826 127 2 826 129 1 826 145 1 826 190 3 826 191 1 826 197 2 826 211 1 826 214 1 826 218 1 826 225 1 826 243 1 826 244 1 826 274 1 826 304 1 826 305 1 826 306 1 826 307 1 826 320 1 826 330 1 826 332 1 826 357 1 826 358 1 826 376 1 826 378 1 826 382 1 826 385 1 826 394 1 826 433 1 826 450 1 826 451 1 826 452 1 826 458 1 826 459 7 826 468 1 826 484 2 826 492 1 826 506 1 826 508 2 826 511 1 826 512 1 826 514 1 826 518 1 826 520 1 826 523 2 826 524 2 826 525 2 826 526 3 826 527 1 826 528 1 826 529 2 826 530 2 826 532 1 826 534 4 826 546 3 826 553 1 826 579 3 826 594 2 826 603 1 826 604 1 826 606 3 826 609 1 826 610 1 826 611 1 826 612 1 826 625 3 826 626 3 826 630 1 826 633 1 826 634 1 826 635 1 826 636 2 826 637 3 826 642 2 826 646 3 826 648 1 826 650 1 826 692 1 826 696 2 826 699 1 826 702 2 826 703 2 826 705 2 826 708 1 826 726 1 826 727 1 826 728 1 826 730 1 826 731 2 826 732 3 826 733 2 826 734 2 826 736 3 826 738 1 826 739 1 826 740 1 826 741 1 826 742 1 826 743 1 826 744 1 826 754 1 826 755 1 826 795 1 826 814 1 826 817 1 826 820 2 826 823 1 826 825 1 826 826 9 826 827 4 826 828 1 826 830 1 826 877 1 826 879 3 826 883 2 826 885 1 826 947 1 826 948 1 826 1004 1 826 1017 1 826 1035 2 826 1058 1 826 1078 1 826 1089 1 826 1091 1 826 1146 1 826 1207 1 826 1230 1 826 1257 1 826 1263 1 826 1264 1 826 1297 1 826 1303 1 826 1356 2 826 1357 1 826 1364 1 826 1368 2 826 1370 3 826 1372 3 826 1373 1 826 1374 3 826 1375 2 826 1376 2 826 1377 2 826 1383 1 826 1390 1 826 1396 1 826 1405 1 826 1427 1 826 1427 1 826 .I 827 .T The Evaluation of Information Retrieval Systems .A Farradane, J. .W Methods of testing systems in practice and in theory are critically reviewed.

The study determined who uses each publication, how much, for what purpose, and with what degree of success. A major purpose was to discover how valuable the publications are to users and what impact they have had on their own research or professional practice as well as on their information seeking behaviour. Comparisons are made between the results for the two publications. Some conclusions are drawn on information seeking behaviour in the neuroscience community and on requirements for effective current awareness services in this field. .X 10 1 828 18 1 828 34 1 828 49 1 828 53 1 828 59 1 828 76 1 828 89 1 828 164 1 828 183 1 828 184 1 828 190 1 828 193 1 828 198 1 828 201 1 828 202 1 828 204 1 828 213 1 828 224 2 828 225 1 828 243 1 828 244 1 828 304 1 828 305 1 828 306 1 828 358 1 828 385 1 828 394 1 828 421 1 828 433 1 828 459 1 828 465 1 828 466 1 828 490 1 828 491 1 828 506 1 828 507 1 828 510 1 828 512 1 828 534 1 828 552 1 828 591 1 828 595 1 828 603 1 828 604 1 828 622 1 828 623 1 828 629 1 828 633 1 828 639 1 828 659 1 828 676 1 828 702 1 828 711 1 828 722 1 828 723 1 828 726 1 828 728 1 828 730 1 828 731 2 828 732 2 828 735 1 828 766 1 828 784 1 828 809 1 828 810 1 828 813 1 828 814 1 828 817 1 828 820 2 828 822 1 828 823 1 828 825 1 828 826 1 828 827 1 828 828 6 828 845 1 828 870 1 828 879 1 828 947 1 828 948 1 828 1017 1 828 1055 1 828 1058 1 828 1091 1 828 1146 1 828 1230 1 828 1257 1 828 1283 1 828 1298 1 828 1299 1 828 1363 1 828 1366 1 828 1367 1 828 1368 1 828 1372 1 828 1374 1 828 1390 1 828 1396 1 828 1397 1 828 1432 1 828 1432 1 828 .I 829 .T Foundation of Evaluation .A Van Rijsbergen, C.J. .W The mathematical theory of measurement is used to construct a framework for the evaluation of information retrieval strategies.

N. .W The proposition is examined that large-scale photocopying, such as that practised by the British Library Lending Division, affects the sales of journals.. There is little evidence of a reduction in journal circulation figures.. In spite of large increases in journal prices (which have risen much faster, in terms of cost per page, than the Retail Price Index), university libraries have, since the NLLST was established, devoted an increasingly high proportion of their budgets to journals, though recent financial pressures are now forcing cancellation.. An extensive survey of demand for journals at BLLD shows a heavy concentration on a relatively small number of titles, most of them well established journals, widely held by libraries and with large circulations.. The demand for in-print issues of the average journal is small.. It is concluded, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, that economic difficulties experienced by journals publishers and the increased demand on the BLLD are unrelated, though both owe something to the economic pressures on libraries.. .X 10 1 831 48 1 831 128 1 831 167 2 831 198 1 831 330 1 831 393 1 831 614 1 831 623 1 831 635 1 831 638 1 831 729 1 831 744 1 831 748 2 831 753 1 831 756 1 831 757 3 831 787 1 831 792 2 831 821 1 831 831 9 831 888 1 831 893 1 831 952 1 831 953 1 831 1083 1 831 1210 1 831 1241 1 831 1254 1 831 1256 1 831 1260 1 831 1275 1 831 1278 1 831 1302 1 831 1369 1 831 1373 1 831 1375 1 831 1376 1 831 1390 1 831 1418 1 831 1418 1 831 .I 832 .T The Status of 'Practicum' in Graduate Library Schools .A Grotzinger, L. .W The early schools were dedicated to practical work as a necessary component of every program; this fact is heavily documented in numerous commentaries on the time. As this century progressed, however, this pioneer preoccupation came under strong criticism and by the 1930's and in more recent decades, an equally strong documentation attacks the earlier curricula. Now, in the 1970's amid the many questions raised about the relevance of contemporary library education, there appears to be a revival in the use of field experiences. .X 832 5 832 1423 1 832 1423 1 832 .I 833 .T A New Linear Notation System Based on Combinations of Carbon and Hydrogen .A Skolnic, Herman .W A new linear notation system is described which was designed to have a one-to-one correspondence with the chemical structures represented by the notations..

This leads to problems of: (a) currency: keeping the scheme in line with new discoveries.. (b) hospitality: allowing room for insertion of new subjects.. (c) cross-classification: a concept may be considered in such a way that it fits as logically into one discipline as another.. Machine retrieval is also hampered by the fact that any individual concept is notated differently, depending on where in the scheme it appears.. The approach now considered is from an organized universe of concepts, every concept being set down only once in an appropriate vocabulary, where it acquires the notation which identifies it wherever it is used.. It has been found that all the concepts present in any compound subject can be handled as though they belong to one of two basic concept types, using either Entitles or Attributes.. In classing, these concepts are identified, and notation is selected from appropriate schedules.. Subjects are then built according to formal rules, the final class number incorporating operators which convey the fundamental relationships between concepts.. Fron this viewpoint, the Rules and Operators of the proposed system can be seen as the grammar of an IR language, and the schedules of Entitles and Attributes as its vocabulary.. .X 16 1 838 30 1 838 71 1 838 75 2 838 77 1 838 78 1 838 79 1 838 80 1 838 81 1 838 82 1 838 83 1 838 154 4 838 159 1 838 212 1 838 247 1 838 257 2 838 476 1 838 477 3 838 581 1 838 653 2 838 666 1 838 796 1 838 802 1 838 838 9 838 853 1 838 898 2 838 989 1 838 1074 2 838 1075 2 838 1259 2 838 1391 4 838 1393 1 838 1395 1 838 1402 2 838 1429 4 838 1430 4 838 1431 2 838 1431 2 838 .I 839 .T Information Services in University Libraries .A Line, M.B. .W Development in university libraries in recent years in reader services, instruction in library use and subject specialization go only a small way to meeting the problems created by the "information explosion." Reasons why more dynamic and personal information services for scientists and social scientists should be developed include the limitations in researchers' present use of libraries and information, the preference of users for informal channels of communication, increasing pressures on the time of university teachers, and problems associated with computer retrieval systems. Specialist posts of information officer should be created as part of the library services, but with functions distinct from those of the librarian; difficulties that may arise with their location and operation are discussed. The cost of information services in depth is heavy, but it may be possible to develop them within the existing budget by a reallocation of funds and staff duties. .X 2 1 839 13 1 839 66 1 839 152 1 839 243 1 839 370 1 839 371 1 839 475 1 839 648 1 839 664 1 839 768 1 839 774 1 839 783 1 839 818 1 839 837 1 839 839 7 839 845 2 839 847 1 839 907 1 839 968 1 839 1246 1 839 1246 1 839 .I 840 .T The Viability of Branch Libraries .A Brookes, B. C. .W A simple model of a two-stage hierarchical library system is described.. The model indicates, in terms of "user costs" and library "viability", how the branch library should be stocked.. The most significant factor used in the analysis is shown to be the ratio of the two actual user costs, rather than the actual costs themselves.. It is shown that the viability level of stock provision of the branch library is determined by this ratio.. .X 81 1 840 222 1 840 267 1 840 494 3 840 515 3 840 587 1 840 786 1 840 787 2 840 788 1 840 792 3 840 823 1 840 840 5 840 925 4 840 948 1 840 1085 1 840 1219 1 840 1324 1 840 1365 2 840 1400 1 840 1401 2 840 1416 1 840 1417 2 840 1417 2 840 .I 841 .T Work Study in Libraries .A Gilchrist, Alan .W A brief review of the principal work study techniques is given.. It is suggested that these techniques are applicable to libraries and librarians and will become increasingly useful as the problems of increased work loads become more severe..

C. K. Schofield, J. L. .W The kinds of information needed by managing librarians to make correct decisions are considered, with emphasis on the value of current data on the exceptional situation.. Management information in a library is of greatest use in comparison, either internally, or with data from other libraries.. A simple, standard method of recording and costing is urged, so that librarians may readily identify procedures requiring improvement.. Development of the present costing method is traced from its original state as a simple management information system based on exception reporting (i.e. reporting the exceptions which occur in any particular survey), through a pilot study in a large university library, to its full installation in two further university libraries.. The method of analyzing the raw data is described, and examples of the tables are given, together with brief background information on the libraries concerned.. After a note on the limitations of the present costing method and of unit costs in general, unit times and costs are given for numerous operations in both the libraries surveyed, covering both reader and technical services.. There is agreement between results of several American studies and those of the present investigation.. For further comparison, the information on times and salaries has been used in conjunction with a standard civil service costing procedure.. .X 4 1 842 5 1 842 83 1 842 115 1 842 153 1 842 158 1 842 234 1 842 245 2 842 249 1 842 292 1 842 293 1 842 298 1 842 311 1 842 364 1 842 365 1 842 418 1 842 764 1 842 768 1 842 774 1 842 792 1 842 811 2 842 815 1 842 816 2 842 818 1 842 823 3 842 841 2 842 842 9 842 843 1 842 844 1 842 925 2 842 944 1 842 948 2 842 994 1 842 1023 1 842 1069 1 842 1070 1 842 1214 1 842 1232 1 842 1236 1 842 1242 1 842 1257 1 842 1317 2 842 1400 1 842 1401 1 842 1401 1 842 .I 843 .T Subject Specialisation in Academic Libraries: some preliminary observations on role conflict and organizational stress .A Guttsman, W.L. .W The library of the University of East Anglia has been organized on the basis of subject specialization, a system which the author believes to be applicable to small and medium-sized universities. A comparison of university structure and university library structure shows how the system can bring about organizational strains and conflict situations in respect of career patterns of senior staff members. The need to recognize academic considerations for library promotions is stressed and a case made out for the fullest involvement of all senior library staff in policy-making. .X 4 1 843 9 1 843 207 1 843 222 1 843 223 1 843 268 1 843 293 1 843 296 1 843 297 1 843 298 2 843 300 1 843 301 1 843 302 1 843 303 1 843 358 1 843 364 1 843 418 1 843 515 1 843 535 1 843 559 1 843 625 1 843 629 1 843 631 1 843 634 1 843 768 1 843 774 1 843 791 1 843 811 1 843 816 1 843 818 2 843 823 2 843 842 1 843 843 6 843 844 4 843 845 1 843 846 1 843 915 1 843 961 2 843 962 1 843 964 1 843 985 1 843 994 1 843 1015 1 843 1020 2 843 1021 1 843 1069 1 843 1070 1 843 1214 1 843 1233 1 843 1242 1 843 1247 1 843 1253 1 843 1268 1 843 1354 1 843 1401 1 843 1424 1 843 1424 1 843 .I 844 .T Graduates in Academic Libraries: a survey of past students of the Post- Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Studies, Sheffield University, 1964/65 - 1970/71 .A Roberts, N. .W The Sheffield "Follow-up" Study revealed that an overwhelming majority of graduates of the Post-Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Science are satisfied with their work and working situations.

Line, M.B. .W Between 1969 and 1971 Bath University Library experimented with a personalized information service to social science researchers at the Universities of Bath and Bristol. The principal service offered was a manual current awareness service, based mainly on the scanning of primary and abstracting journals. The service was evaluated by feedback slips returned by clients for each reference notified, and by a questionnaire at the end of the experiment. The relevance performance was good, and few references had been seen before; some precision could have been sacrificed to ensure comprehensive recall. The whole service was rated highly by nearly all users and considered to be a high priority among the various possible claims on university resources. Those who had the closest contact with the information officers had the best scores on most aspects evaluated and rated the service most highly. Some general observations on the place and value of an information service in a university library are given in conclusion. .X 224 2 845 300 1 845 818 1 845 828 1 845 839 2 845 843 1 845 845 7 845 961 1 845 1020 1 845 1253 1 845 1372 1 845 1374 1 845 1401 1 845 1401 1 845 .I 846 .T Jesse Shera and the Theory of Bibliography .A Brookes, B.C. .W Twenty years ago Jesse Shera suggested that there was a need for a more analytical study of bibliography which might help to bridge library and information services. Little note was taken of this proposal at the time but developments have since occurred and are here briefly reported. It is argued that Shera's "macrobibliography" or "social epistemology" provides not only a subject for theoretical study but that it will also be needed for the rational design of library and information systems and networks of the near future. .X 3 1 846 9 1 846 207 1 846 222 1 846 223 1 846 296 1 846 297 1 846 298 1 846 300 1 846 301 1 846 302 1 846 358 1 846 364 1 846 515 1 846 535 1 846 625 1 846 629 1 846 631 1 846 634 1 846 791 1 846 811 1 846 816 1 846 818 1 846 823 1 846 843 1 846 844 1 846 846 5 846 911 1 846 915 1 846 961 1 846 962 1 846 964 1 846 994 1 846 1015 1 846 1242 1 846 1247 1 846 1268 1 846 1354 1 846 1354 1 846 .I 847 .T Library Instruction and the Development of the Individual .A Hills, P.

The library may decide simply to wait for developments; it may attempt to develop a total or integrated system from the start; or it may adopt an evolutionary approach leading to an integrated system.. Outside consultants,it is suggested, will become increasingly important.. The second part of the paper deals with important elements in any program regardless of the approach.. These include the building of a capability to do automation work, staffing, equipment, organizational structure, selection of projects, and costs.. .X 24 1 849 64 1 849 175 1 849 177 1 849 200 1 849 245 1 849 281 1 849 287 1 849 289 1 849 294 1 849 348 1 849 374 1 849 406 1 849 408 1 849 717 1 849 781 1 849 783 1 849 834 1 849 835 2 849 848 1 849 849 9 849 850 3 849 851 2 849 852 1 849 897 2 849 907 1 849 916 1 849 922 1 849 925 1 849 974 1 849 979 1 849 981 1 849 982 1 849 1007 1 849 1042 1 849 1051 1 849 1415 1 849 1415 1 849 .I 850 .T Bell Laboratories' Library Real-Time Loan System (BELLREL) .A Kennedy, R.

An important requirement is the solution of the problem of matching proper names, not only because both input specifications and storage specifications are subject ot error, but also because various transliteration schemes exist and can provide variant proper name forms in the same data base..

Finlay, Alexander C. Cushman, Joann G. Detmer, James M. .W A computerized serials record and control system developed in 1968/69 for the Technical Information Department of Pfizer Inc. is described and subjected to a cost analysis.. This cost analysis is conducted in the context of an investment decision, using the concept of net present value, a method not previously used in library literature.. The cost analysis reveals a positive net present value and a system life break-even requirement of seven years at a 10% cost of capital.. This demonstrates that such an automated system can be economically justifiable in a library of relatively modest size (approx. 1,100 serial and periodical titles).. It may be that the break-even point in terms of collection size required for successful automation of serial records is smaller than has been assumed to date.. .X 235 1 865 288 2 865 289 2 865 291 2 865 292 1 865 295 1 865 408 1 865 548 1 865 591 1 865 594 1 865 597 1 865 598 1 865 601 1 865 836 1 865 863 1 865 864 1 865 865 5 865 866 1 865 868 1 865 897 1 865 915 1 865 916 1 865 925 1 865 936 1 865 938 1 865 957 1 865 959 1 865 960 1 865 961 1 865 962 1 865 972 1 865 984 1 865 1052 1 865 1248 1 865 1353 1 865 1400 1 865 1401 1 865 1401 1 865 .I 866 .T A MARC II - Based Program for Retrieval and Dissemination .A Mauerhoff, Georg R.

All working papers emanating from the IFLA Working Group will be submitted to the International Standards Organization Technical Committee 46, Subcommittee 4, Working Group on Content Designators.. Prior to any attempt to standardize the content designators for the international exchange of bibliographic data in machine-readable form, it is necessary to agree on certain basic points from which all future work will be derived.. This first working paper is a statement of: 1) the obstacles that presently exist which prevent the effective international interchange of bibliographic data in machine-readable form; 2) the score of concern for the IFLA Working Group; and 3) the definition of terms included in the broader term "content designators".. If an international standard format can be derived, it would greatly facilitate the use in this country of machine-readable bibliographic records issued by other national agencies.. It should also contribute significantly to the expansion of MARC to other languages by the Library of Congress.. .X 18 1 873 121 1 873 125 1 873 141 2 873 145 1 873 211 1 873 244 1 873 299 2 873 333 1 873 365 1 873 378 1 873 440 1 873 452 1 873 453 1 873 467 1 873 468 1 873 495 1 873 506 1 873 508 1 873 511 1 873 512 1 873 514 1 873 517 1 873 520 1 873 521 1 873 522 1 873 523 1 873 524 1 873 526 1 873 528 1 873 529 1 873 530 1 873 541 1 873 576 1 873 580 1 873 604 1 873 609 1 873 612 1 873 619 1 873 622 1 873 623 1 873 627 1 873 628 1 873 629 1 873 630 1 873 631 1 873 632 1 873 633 1 873 699 1 873 700 1 873 705 1 873 707 1 873 723 1 873 726 1 873 727 1 873 728 1 873 729 1 873 730 1 873 731 1 873 754 1 873 812 1 873 813 1 873 814 1 873 820 1 873 822 2 873 854 1 873 866 1 873 870 1 873 871 1 873 872 1 873 873 5 873 874 2 873 875 2 873 876 2 873 877 1 873 878 1 873 879 1 873 880 1 873 881 1 873 892 2 873 919 1 873 920 1 873 921 1 873 940 1 873 941 2 873 990 1 873 994 2 873 995 1 873 996 1 873 997 2 873 998 2 873 1042 1 873 1078 1 873 1079 2 873 1089 1 873 1091 1 873 1143 2 873 1153 1 873 1189 1 873 1230 1 873 1251 1 873 1257 1 873 1264 1 873 1302 1 873 1303 2 873 1351 1 873 1366 1 873 1367 1 873 1368 1 873 1396 3 873 1420 1 873 1434 1 873 1435 2 873 1436 1 873 1441 1 873 1442 1 873 1442 1 873 .I 874 .T The New York Public Library Automated Book Catalog Subsystem .A Malinconico, S. Michael Rizzolo, James A. .W A comprehensive automated bibliographic control system has been developed by the New York Public Library.. This system is unique in its use of an automated authority system and highly sophisticated machine filing algorithms.. The primary aim was the rigorous control of established forms and their cross-reference structure.. The original impetus for creation of the system, and its most highly visible product, is a photocomposed book catalog.. The book catalog subsystem supplies automatic punctuation of condensed entries and contains the ability to produce cumulation/supplement book catalogs in installments without loss of control of the cross referencing structure.. .X 141 2 874 244 1 874 259 1 874 299 5 874 326 1 874 333 3 874 354 1 874 365 1 874 434 1 874 445 1 874 449 2 874 522 1 874 529 1 874 530 2 874 553 1 874 627 2 874 628 3 874 630 1 874 802 1 874 819 1 874 822 1 874 848 1 874 854 1 874 871 1 874 872 2 874 873 2 874 874 16 874 875 3 874 876 2 874 877 2 874 878 3 874 879 1 874 880 2 874 881 1 874 882 1 874 884 2 874 887 1 874 892 5 874 922 2 874 940 2 874 941 4 874 990 2 874 991 1 874 992 1 874 993 1 874 994 2 874 995 3 874 996 1 874 997 2 874 998 3 874 1079 4 874 1143 1 874 1153 1 874 1189 1 874 1215 1 874 1216 3 874 1230 1 874 1251 1 874 1255 1 874 1257 1 874 1265 1 874 1303 1 874 1351 2 874 1395 1 874 1396 2 874 1420 2 874 1421 1 874 1434 3 874 1435 4 874 1436 2 874 1441 1 874 1442 2 874 1448 1 874 1448 1 874 .I 875 .T File Structure for an On-Line Catalog of One Million Titles .A Dimsdale, J.

It is more likely that the library's reference staff will develop the capability of serving as a broker between the local campus user and the various regional or specialized retail distribution centers which exist or will be established.. .X 18 2 879 34 1 879 49 1 879 53 1 879 59 1 879 124 1 879 127 2 879 129 1 879 141 1 879 145 1 879 152 1 879 164 1 879 190 1 879 191 1 879 197 1 879 202 1 879 211 1 879 213 1 879 214 1 879 218 1 879 224 1 879 243 2 879 244 1 879 299 1 879 307 1 879 330 1 879 357 2 879 365 1 879 376 1 879 378 1 879 421 1 879 450 1 879 451 1 879 452 1 879 459 4 879 465 1 879 466 1 879 468 1 879 484 1 879 490 1 879 491 1 879 492 1 879 506 1 879 507 1 879 508 1 879 510 1 879 511 1 879 512 2 879 514 1 879 518 1 879 520 1 879 523 1 879 524 2 879 525 2 879 526 2 879 527 1 879 529 3 879 530 2 879 534 2 879 546 1 879 553 1 879 579 1 879 591 1 879 594 1 879 595 1 879 603 2 879 604 2 879 606 1 879 609 1 879 610 1 879 611 2 879 612 2 879 622 1 879 623 1 879 625 1 879 626 1 879 629 1 879 630 2 879 633 2 879 635 1 879 636 2 879 637 2 879 639 1 879 642 2 879 646 1 879 648 1 879 650 1 879 659 1 879 676 1 879 692 1 879 696 1 879 699 1 879 702 1 879 703 2 879 705 1 879 708 1 879 711 1 879 722 1 879 723 1 879 726 2 879 727 1 879 728 2 879 730 2 879 731 2 879 732 3 879 733 2 879 734 2 879 736 2 879 738 1 879 739 1 879 740 1 879 741 1 879 742 1 879 743 1 879 744 1 879 755 1 879 809 1 879 810 1 879 813 1 879 814 1 879 820 2 879 822 2 879 826 3 879 827 2 879 828 1 879 854 1 879 870 1 879 871 1 879 872 1 879 873 1 879 874 1 879 875 1 879 876 1 879 877 2 879 878 1 879 879 7 879 880 1 879 883 2 879 885 1 879 892 1 879 940 1 879 941 1 879 942 1 879 990 1 879 994 1 879 997 1 879 998 1 879 1004 1 879 1035 1 879 1078 1 879 1079 1 879 1089 1 879 1091 2 879 1143 1 879 1207 1 879 1230 1 879 1257 1 879 1264 1 879 1283 1 879 1297 1 879 1298 1 879 1299 1 879 1303 2 879 1356 2 879 1363 1 879 1364 1 879 1366 1 879 1367 1 879 1368 3 879 1370 3 879 1372 3 879 1373 1 879 1374 2 879 1375 2 879 1376 2 879 1377 2 879 1383 1 879 1396 4 879 1435 1 879 1436 1 879 1436 1 879 .I 880 .T BIBCON - A General Purpose Software System for MARC-Based Book Catalog Production .A Gibson, Liz .W The BIBCON file management system, designed for use on IBM 360 system equipment, performs two basic functions: (1) it creates MARC structured, bibliographic records from untagged input data; (2) from these records it produces page image output for book catalogs..

Yet this very characteristic of rapid change makes valid the effort of providing an overview at a point in time. The first task, then, is network definition and description, necessary because a large number of library activities have been described as "networks" and only a limited number are covered here. The chapter on "Library and Information Networks" in volume seven of the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology provides a "normative list" of "essential characteristics": 1. A network's function is to marshal resources ... to accomplish results beyond the ability of any one of its members. 2. A network has developed an organizational design and structure that allows it to establish an identifiable domain.... 3. It has a base in communications technology. .X 115 1 885 123 1 885 141 1 885 335 1 885 342 1 885 363 1 885 400 1 885 409 1 885 434 1 885 459 2 885 505 1 885 594 1 885 598 1 885 643 1 885 644 1 885 645 2 885 646 1 885 647 1 885 651 1 885 739 1 885 826 1 885 872 1 885 879 1 885 881 2 885 882 2 885 883 2 885 884 2 885 885 9 885 886 1 885 887 2 885 888 1 885 917 1 885 921 1 885 947 1 885 972 1 885 999 1 885 1000 1 885 1001 1 885 1002 1 885 1003 1 885 1004 1 885 1016 1 885 1356 1 885 1368 1 885 1370 1 885 1372 1 885 1374 1 885 1375 2 885 1376 2 885 1377 1 885 1437 1 885 1437 1 885 .I 886 .T Automated Alternatives to Card Catalogs: The Current State of Planning and Implementation .A Bierman, Kenneth John .W The results of a study carried out under the auspices of the Council on Library Resources are described..

I will attempt to describe and/or define the almost incestuous intricacies of the National Serials Data Program (NSDP), the International Serials Data System (ISDS), and CONSER (CONversion of SERials). 3. Code Revision Activities. I will outline the influence that current standards and projects are having on code revision activities. My comments are to be considered within the context of conventional libraries, primarily one wherein card catalogs still exist and manual processes are the rule. .X 128 1 888 172 1 888 342 1 888 365 1 888 453 1 888 560 1 888 646 1 888 647 1 888 652 2 888 823 1 888 825 1 888 827 1 888 831 1 888 856 1 888 881 2 888 882 2 888 885 1 888 886 1 888 888 6 888 904 1 888 913 1 888 919 1 888 921 1 888 943 1 888 963 1 888 999 1 888 1000 1 888 1001 2 888 1002 1 888 1003 2 888 1004 2 888 1060 1 888 1241 1 888 1257 1 888 1258 1 888 1291 1 888 1315 1 888 1340 1 888 1433 1 888 1437 1 888 1441 1 888 1445 1 888 1445 1 888 .I 889 .T A Comprehensive Study Based on Physics Abstracts .A Keeman, S. .W The Documentation Research Project of the American Institute has been engaged for some years in an effort to improve the various systems available for the publication and dissemination of physics literature.

I. .W This paper reports the application of pattern recognition and substructural analysis to the problem of predicting the antineoplastic activity of 24 test compounds in an experimental mouse brain tumor system based on 138 structurally diverse compounds tested in this tumor system.. The molecules were represented by three types of substructural fragments, the augmented atom, the heteropath, and the ring fragments.. Of the two pattern recognition methods used to predict the activity of the test compounds the nearest neighbor method predicted 83% correctly while the learning machine method predicted 92% correctly..

The frequency of an index term, or its "breadth" as it is called here, is the number of postings made to the term in a given collection.. The question is asked: Of index terms assigned to documents, which function most effectively in retrieval, the most term or popular terms, or those which are used relatively infrequently? The experiment is a retrieval experiment and uses the Cranfield-Salton data.. Breadth of indexing is varied by nonrandomly deleting terms from documents.. Retrieval output is evaluated using the Expected Search Length measure of retrieval effectiveness as well as the usual precision and recall.. The Wilcoxen Test is used to determine the statistical significance of the different indexings.. The results show that the "optimal" breadth of indexing is a variable, depending on user needs: if a few documents are wanted or high precision is desired, then narrow terms are more effective than broad ones; if, on the other hand, all or most relevant documents are wanted, then broad terms are better.. An argument, however, can be made for the quality of narrow terms, since when these terms are deleted precision never improves, whereas deleting broad terms always results in a higher precision.. A corollary experiment is carried out to compare two indexings of the same average breadth where one indexing consists of semantically appropriate terms - terms taken from the document title - and the other consists of merely "reasonable" index terms.. The result suggest that title-term indexing is qualifiedly superior.. .X 44 1 894 51 1 894 57 2 894 69 1 894 71 1 894 75 1 894 77 2 894 79 2 894 86 1 894 168 1 894 175 3 894 176 2 894 315 1 894 329 2 894 382 2 894 389 1 894 390 1 894 416 1 894 448 2 894 450 1 894 466 1 894 480 1 894 483 1 894 484 1 894 486 1 894 488 1 894 491 1 894 493 1 894 503 1 894 507 1 894 509 1 894 510 1 894 511 1 894 512 1 894 514 1 894 517 1 894 520 2 894 521 1 894 522 1 894 527 1 894 528 1 894 531 2 894 565 4 894 566 1 894 567 1 894 570 1 894 572 1 894 576 1 894 581 1 894 586 1 894 595 1 894 596 2 894 603 1 894 608 3 894 619 1 894 633 1 894 636 1 894 643 1 894 659 3 894 715 1 894 754 1 894 790 1 894 791 1 894 805 1 894 809 1 894 810 4 894 812 3 894 813 2 894 814 3 894 817 2 894 820 1 894 824 1 894 825 1 894 870 1 894 875 1 894 894 6 894 928 1 894 963 1 894 990 1 894 991 1 894 1051 1 894 1255 1 894 1294 2 894 1313 1 894 1327 2 894 1413 1 894 1419 2 894 1427 1 894 1445 1 894 1445 1 894 .I 895 .T Design Equations for Retrieval System Based on the Swets Model .A Heine, M. H. .W Swets's theory of information retrieval allows the threads of document weighting formulae, probabilistic measures of effectiveness, and management theory to be woven into a coherent pattern.. Benefits of the theory are the beginnings of a quantitative description of retrieval languages, a clear distinction between retrieval 'systems' and 'language', a recognition that retrieval performance can be tailored to suit individual needs in a systematic way, and confirmation that question Generality is a pivotal feature of the retrieval process.. The hypotheses involved are still in need of rigorous experimental testing.. .X 28 1 895 57 1 895 73 3 895 157 1 895 175 1 895 274 1 895 381 1 895 389 1 895 390 1 895 445 1 895 449 1 895 468 1 895 514 1 895 518 1 895 519 2 895 577 1 895 587 1 895 595 1 895 615 1 895 625 1 895 634 1 895 643 1 895 644 1 895 646 1 895 649 2 895 652 1 895 660 1 895 752 2 895 754 1 895 764 1 895 780 3 895 785 2 895 812 1 895 820 1 895 822 1 895 824 1 895 827 1 895 829 4 895 830 1 895 895 6 895 1091 2 895 1282 2 895 1307 3 895 1307 3 895 .I 896 .T Job Dimensions and Educational Needs in Librarianship .A Kertendick, T.T. .W This study was undertaken to meet more fully the demands for improved and expanded training of library personnel, especially at the middle and upper levels, occasioned by the rapidly changing roles and functions of libraries as they try to adapt to the vast social, economic, and technological changes currently in progress. The rise to a higher level of required skills and competencies - often new - has brought about an urgent need for improved training beyond the first professional degree at the post-master's level. The basic purpose of this research is curriculum development at the post-master's level that will equip the middle- and upper-level personnel in libraries for the changes confronting them. Although it would be possible to restructure the master's program and add the courses that this study shows a need for, that alternative has not been pursued for two reasons: a fairly stable master's curriculum is widely accepted and institutionalized and, more important, the new courses are designed for a different group of students - experienced librarians. .X 230 1 896 232 1 896 241 1 896 331 1 896 358 1 896 406 1 896 896 7 896 945 1 896 946 1 896 948 1 896 1005 1 896 1033 1 896 1079 1 896 1379 1 896 1403 1 896 1403 1 896 .I 897 .T Shawnee Mission's On-Line Cataloging System .A Miller, Ellen W.

Mono-Dicraredical Classification systems were developed for this purpose which made it possible in each case to find a single clearly defined category for each bibliographic item. The development of modern science has brought about two principal changes in the situation: First it is no longer enough to simply provide for the retrieval of complete bibliographic items as a unit, but rather one tends more and more to request informational details that may be contained in the book. Second, modern knowledge has become too complex and interdependent that it is no longer possible to provide a single well-defined category for the books or journal articles. .X 154 1 898 165 1 898 477 2 898 530 1 898 621 1 898 641 1 898 653 1 898 838 2 898 898 6 898 1074 1 898 1075 1 898 1231 1 898 1259 1 898 1391 2 898 1402 1 898 1429 2 898 1430 2 898 1430 2 898 .I 899 .T Technical Scientific Information and the Efficient Application of Science .A Mikhailov, A. .W The intense development of science and its immediate application in production is one of the characteristic feelings of our time.

I decided in favor of the first course with regard to the articles I had written during the last fifteen years on language and information, in particular on the more technical and applied aspects, leaving for some future occasion my papers on the philosophy of language. .X 29 1 901 58 1 901 72 1 901 160 1 901 165 1 901 445 1 901 451 1 901 477 1 901 558 1 901 565 1 901 590 1 901 600 1 901 609 1 901 633 1 901 643 1 901 653 1 901 656 1 901 659 1 901 689 1 901 746 1 901 762 1 901 781 1 901 795 1 901 814 2 901 824 1 901 825 1 901 901 7 901 1077 1 901 1215 1 901 1231 1 901 1394 1 901 1422 1 901 1422 1 901 .I 902 .T Language and Mind .A Chomsky, N. .W The three chapters of this book are somewhat elaborated versions of three lectures, the Beckman lectures, that I delivered at the University of California, at Berkeley, in January 1967. The first is an attempt to evaluate past contributions to the study of mind that have been been based on research and speculation regarding the nature of language. The second is devoted to contemporary developments in linguistics that have a bearing on the study of the mind. The third is a highly speculative discussion of directions that the study of language and mind might take in coming years. The three lectures, then, are concerned with the past, the present, and the future. .X 21 1 902 168 2 902 172 1 902 191 1 902 194 1 902 212 1 902 274 1 902 317 1 902 332 1 902 417 2 902 443 1 902 446 1 902 458 1 902 485 1 902 546 1 902 572 2 902 577 1 902 579 1 902 608 1 902 615 1 902 640 1 902 795 1 902 796 1 902 798 1 902 902 6 902 906 1 902 907 1 902 1033 1 902 1046 1 902 1084 1 902 1089 1 902 1209 1 902 1279 1 902 1289 1 902 1294 1 902 1310 1 902 1327 1 902 1386 1 902 1387 1 902 1399 2 902 1399 2 902 .I 903 .T Development of the County Law Library .A Jurkins, J. .W Do you know that there are 3,071 counties and parishes and 59 county equivalents in the United States, making a total of 3,130? Do you know that only 39 states have statutory provisions for county law libraries? Do you know that seven states have no listing for county law libraries in the American Association of Law Libraries 1968 Directory of Law Libraries? Do you know that Los Angeles County, California, not only has the largest county law library collection in the United States, but it also has seven branch law libraries? These four questions readily point out the simple fact that the growth and development of county law libraries in the United States has been uneven, without pattern or standards, not only on a State-to-State basis, but on a county- to-county basis within a particular state. A survey of the 39 state statutes relating to county law libraries reveals that there are no two states that have exactly the same method for the establishment, administration, financial support, or maintenance of a county law library. .X 122 1 903 855 1 903 903 5 903 907 1 903 908 1 903 1011 1 903 1011 1 903 .I 904 .T No Special Rules for Entry of Serials .A Carpenter, Michael .W One of the objectives of a library catalog is to enable one to determine what books or publications by an author are in the library.. Establishment of special rules of entry for serial publications which preclude attribution of authorship defeats this objective.. The present rule 6 of the Anglo_American Cataloging Rules are the Paris Principles are criticized in this regard.. In the course of this criticism, it is shown that the presence of a generic title, the presence of the name of a corporate body within the serial publication are not valid criteria for determining authorship of a serial publication.. Furthermore, using the form of publication produces unpredictable entries for serials.. Therefore, it is proposed that special rules for entry of serials be abolished, that a serial be treated like any other work of corporate or personal authorship, including compilations and works produced under editorial direction.. This will have the added benefit of allowing consistent treatment of instances of corporate and personal authorship.. .X 333 1 904 541 3 904 877 1 904 878 1 904 881 1 904 882 2 904 888 1 904 904 5 904 919 1 904 920 2 904 921 1 904 999 5 904 1000 4 904 1001 5 904 1002 5 904 1003 5 904 1004 1 904 1013 1 904 1060 1 904 1437 1 904 1437 1 904 .I 905 .T Periodicals for the Small Bio-Medical and Clinical Library .A Hunt, J.W. .W Since the advent of periodical literature in the seventeenth century well over ten thousand journals have been published in the field of bio-medicine. Many of these have ceased publication; others are only of local interest. Still, approximately two thousand desirable periodicals in this field are being currently released. As research and discovery are recorded in the journal literature, the greatest asset of a scientific library is its subscription list and periodical holdings. It therefore becomes a major responsibility of such libraries to make this wealth of experimental data available to their readers. When funds are limited, the selection of a periodical collection that will best serve the most urgent needs of the reader becomes of paramount importance. A plan of highly selective purchasing must be adopted to prevent the improper use of funds. Actual needs of the library must be at hand to carry out such a plan. .X 31 1 905 33 1 905 36 2 905 41 3 905 46 1 905 89 1 905 97 1 905 102 1 905 111 1 905 112 1 905 163 1 905 181 1 905 182 1 905 183 2 905 184 2 905 189 1 905 193 3 905 195 3 905 196 2 905 198 2 905 199 2 905 201 2 905 203 2 905 210 1 905 219 1 905 221 1 905 225 1 905 269 2 905 359 1 905 373 1 905 395 1 905 415 2 905 545 1 905 552 1 905 587 1 905 605 1 905 613 1 905 614 2 905 638 2 905 735 1 905 747 1 905 748 1 905 750 1 905 753 1 905 760 1 905 766 1 905 767 3 905 774 1 905 775 2 905 778 1 905 782 1 905 784 1 905 788 1 905 789 1 905 793 1 905 800 1 905 808 1 905 821 1 905 891 1 905 905 5 905 952 2 905 953 2 905 964 1 905 968 1 905 977 1 905 983 1 905 1009 1 905 1016 1 905 1018 1 905 1019 1 905 1023 1 905 1030 1 905 1055 1 905 1071 2 905 1087 1 905 1090 1 905 1135 1 905 1147 1 905 1240 1 905 1260 1 905 1275 4 905 1276 1 905 1278 1 905 1280 1 905 1285 1 905 1286 1 905 1287 1 905 1302 4 905 1335 1 905 1355 1 905 1359 1 905 1369 1 905 1390 1 905 1397 3 905 1417 2 905 1428 1 905 1432 1 905 1432 1 905 .I 906 .T Libraries and Cultural Change .A Benge, R.C. .W This work is a contribution to the literature of librarianship and some parts of it may interest a wider audience.

Bowker Company, members of the Commission and its several study groups, and many other diverse individuals within and without the library world. The resultant theme is the same one that characterized the work of our Commission from the beginning - namely, a concern that every individual in our society be provided with library and informational services adequate to his current and emerging needs. Confronting this goal requires a recognition of inevitable change, and we have questioned status quo, recognizing at the same time the differing pace and character requisite for the implementation of designs in the adaptability to change. The national interest demands simultaneous sympathy with people in pockets of illiteracy and people in the vanguards of intellectual achievement. .X 22 1 908 122 1 908 358 1 908 855 1 908 903 1 908 907 1 908 908 5 908 937 1 908 1005 1 908 1011 1 908 1056 1 908 1056 1 908 .I 909 .T Libraries and Librarianship in the West: A Brief History .A Jackson, S.L. .W This book was written in an attempt to fill a gap. If one ignored the major historical resources in other languages (which few United States students read), notably the Handbuch der Bibliothekswissenschaft, edited by Fritz Milkau and others (2d ed., Leipzig: Harrassowitz, 1952-1957; Registerband, 1965), it was plain that the goodly company of works available did not meet all fundamental needs. The most nearly comprehensive treatment was Elmer C. Johnson's A History of Libraries in the Western World (Scarecrow, 1965), which remains in its second edition (Scarecrow, 1970) solid and attractive reading but continues as announced to cover only libraries. Its attention to librarianship is very limited; numerous important theorists are not even mentioned. Furthermore, the predominant organization by type of library hampers the analysis of crosscurrents between libraries and life and thought, particularly the development of the image of the library and librarian. The aim here has been to tie it all together. In the present offering, "the West" is used conventionally: European civilization, with its Near Eastern ancestors and its Western Hemisphere progeny. The limitation is practical. To try to "cover" even the West may prove to be too much for one person; to go beyond would be rash. Yet an understanding of those lands "beyond" would be most valuable to us all. Let us hope that someone will try to provide it. .X 8 1 909 20 1 909 171 1 909 909 6 909 918 1 909 1061 1 909 1453 1 909 1453 1 909 .I 910 .T Libraries and Neighborhood Information Centers .A Kromes, C.L. .W It has been suggested by various librarians concerned with inner-city service that the library serve as an informational and interpersonal link between community residents and social agencies. The major question is whether it is necessary to add another agency to the already overburdened social service bureaucracy. The rationale for envisioning the library in this role is twofold: (1) the library has achieved a reputation for impartiality because it provides information on all sides of an issue and is not committed to any particular action program, community service or clientele; and (2) librarians are specifically trained to locate, organize, update and disseminate information. .X 248 1 910 340 1 910 376 1 910 431 1 910 910 5 910 935 1 910 939 1 910 1006 1 910 1017 1 910 1049 1 910 1145 2 910 1227 1 910 1236 1 910 1384 1 910 1396 1 910 1396 1 910 .I 911 .T Libraries and the Organization of Knowledge .A Shera, J.H. .W From time to time, in the course of its historical development, a professional activity enters a new stage. This usually takes place as the culmination of a series of modifications to the practice of the art, arising out of changes in the social situation in which the profession operates. Skilled workers, sensitive to changing needs, alter or refine their practice so that it develops in tune with the progress of society itself. Descriptive accounts of new or improved methods appear in the literature; and, from time to time, a leading thinker makes a new synthesis by combining these explanations into a system, or theory, which gives a rational account of what is going on, and so prepares the way forward. This is what Dean Jesse H. Shera has set out to do in this collection of his essays and addresses. .X 3 1 911 111 1 911 112 1 911 113 1 911 146 1 911 199 1 911 231 1 911 352 1 911 360 1 911 361 1 911 383 1 911 457 1 911 458 1 911 487 1 911 665 1 911 803 1 911 846 1 911 911 9 911 966 1 911 1053 1 911 1073 1 911 1152 1 911 1231 1 911 1309 1 911 1393 1 911 1393 1 911 .I 912 .T Libraries in Political Science .A Dosa, M.L. .W This study undertakes to document the process and the thinking that led Leyh to his controversial professional-political activities and his widely criticized writings in his later years.

Basic questions in need of investigation include: whether individual libraries need catalogues of their own stock; how far printed bibliographies could serve as a substitute; the functions catalogues are serving at present, and the actual demands placed on them; the nature of users and non-users, and the possible conflicts between the catalogue needs of librarians and non-librarians; the psychological factors of approachability and usability; whether standardization should over-rule local needs; whether catalogues should be designed for use by readers at all; the functions of printed national catalogues; the implications of increased co-operation and of the changing functions of libraries; what a catalogue entry should contain and how it should be arranged; and the possible administrative uses of catalogue data. Mechanization has made these questions of great urgency. .X 4 1 913 9 1 913 32 1 913 96 1 913 137 1 913 163 1 913 172 1 913 207 1 913 365 1 913 453 1 913 456 1 913 652 1 913 768 2 913 774 1 913 783 2 913 799 1 913 811 1 913 816 1 913 825 1 913 856 1 913 872 1 913 886 1 913 888 1 913 913 5 913 943 1 913 961 1 913 962 1 913 963 1 913 964 1 913 968 1 913 970 1 913 1004 1 913 1068 1 913 1203 1 913 1257 1 913 1258 1 913 1321 1 913 1407 1 913 1433 1 913 1434 1 913 1441 1 913 1445 1 913 1445 1 913 .I 914 .T Library and information science abstracts A new service for librarians and documentalists .A Edwards, T. .W A survey of the events leading to the decision to replace Library Science Abstracts by a new service.

There is a concern in every library for the proper handling and control of a veritable flood of material and for the prompt and convenient fulfillment of service demands. That concern is matched by excitement about the possibilities for effective use of the computers and communications network in many library functions. Knowledge, the library's stock-in-trade, is being generated at an unprecedented rate and sought after with unprecedented intensity. Technology, the driving force behind the library's problems and one hope for future solution, is being advanced to unprecedented levels. .X 119 1 916 177 1 916 178 1 916 214 1 916 235 1 916 241 1 916 287 2 916 289 1 916 291 1 916 348 1 916 406 2 916 408 3 916 548 1 916 594 1 916 597 1 916 598 1 916 601 1 916 836 1 916 849 1 916 863 1 916 864 1 916 865 1 916 866 1 916 868 1 916 897 2 916 916 5 916 925 1 916 936 1 916 959 1 916 960 1 916 962 1 916 979 1 916 986 1 916 1007 2 916 1012 1 916 1033 1 916 1052 1 916 1084 1 916 1248 1 916 1400 1 916 1400 1 916 .I 917 .T Library Automation Systems .A Salmon, S.R. .W This book is intended as a reasonably comprehensive discussion of library automation systems for the librarian without previous knowledge or experience in the field, and for the intelligent layman. Library automation systems, in the context of this work, are combinations of electronic data processing machines and appropriate programs and operating procedures, organized to work together in carrying out, with a minimum of human intervention, some well-defined library process. It is a field that many thoughtful observers feel has reached a certain maturity, and so deserves to have its portrait made. .X 141 1 917 363 1 917 409 1 917 645 1 917 647 1 917 651 1 917 739 1 917 881 1 917 882 1 917 883 1 917 884 1 917 885 1 917 886 1 917 887 1 917 917 8 917 999 1 917 1000 1 917 1001 1 917 1002 1 917 1003 1 917 1004 1 917 1375 1 917 1376 1 917 1376 1 917 .I 918 .T Library of Congress .A Goodrum, C.A. .W The book was built on interviews with the Library's middle managers, on discussions with working specialists in the various divisions, on conversations with and questionnaires sent to out-of-Library users, and from my own observations through almost twenty-five years in the Library's Congressional Research Service. After the text was completed, it was read by appropriate people in each department for factual content and ultimately by the staff in the Librarian's Office for their comment.

S. .W The International Meeting of Cataloguing Experts, convened in Copenhagen in 1969 under the auspices of the IFLA Committee on Uniform Cataloguing Rules (later Committee on Cataloguing), set in motion the first major development in continuation of the success achieved by the Paris International Conference on Cataloguing Principles (1961) in the matter of the principles and general rules for entry and heading. Taking under consideration the study of "Bibliographical Data in National Bibliography Entries" prepared by Michael Gorman, the experts of the Copenhagen meeting set up a working group, with Jack Wells as chairman, charged with drafting an international standard bibliographic description for monographic publications. There was common agreement that the objective was the development of specifications for the necessary data elements, their order of presentation, and the punctuation to delimit them. These specifications should be designed to satisfy the needs of national bibliographies, and, with whatever judicious trimming might be desirable, the needs of the libraries of the entire world. It was further agreed that these bibliographic descriptions were to be made quite independently of the heading under which they might appear in listings. The working group succeeded in its task and brought forth its provisional ISBD(M) in 1971; the first standard edition was published earlier this year. The success of this standard is manifested by the continuing increase in the number of countries that have adopted it. .X 10 1 919 121 1 919 128 1 919 246 1 919 265 1 919 331 1 919 541 3 919 560 1 919 646 1 919 647 1 919 652 1 919 799 1 919 823 1 919 827 1 919 873 1 919 877 1 919 878 1 919 881 2 919 888 1 919 904 1 919 919 5 919 920 4 919 921 3 919 922 1 919 999 1 919 1000 1 919 1001 1 919 1002 1 919 1003 2 919 1013 1 919 1291 1 919 1315 1 919 1340 1 919 1441 1 919 1445 2 919 1445 2 919 .I 920 .T Main Entry for Serials .A Howard, J.H. .W The nature of serials is such that, in both the ALA Cataloging Rules for Author and Titles Entries and the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR),there are special rules for choice of entry for serials that differ from the rules for monographs.

Twenty-two libraries reported having no files and one library indicated that it was in the process of converting its file.

With these changes have come alternations in the role of institutions of higher education. During the Centennial Year we shall try to measure the need and nature of further change and to evolve ideas that may influence its direction. In keeping with this idea, the Graduate School of Library Science of the University of Illinois felt that this indeed was a time propitious for holding an International Conference on Education for Librarianship. The profession as a whole and library education in particular are still quite young, but in less than one hundred years we have seen revolutionary changes. Demands have been made on the world's libraries, and in turn on the schools' training personnel for these libraries, almost too rapidly for them to satisfy. It seemed logical for library education, therefore, "to measure the need and nature of future change and to evolve ideas that may influence its direction." .X 339 1 923 371 1 923 387 1 923 923 5 923 924 1 923 954 1 923 1021 1 923 1403 1 923 1403 1 923 .I 924 .T Library Education and Training .A Bonn, G.S. .W The Conference on Library Education and Training in Developing Countries was arranged in order (1) to examine more closely the present facilities, curricula, and programs for training library workers in the developing countries of the world closest to Hawaii, those in East and South Asia; (2) to determine their short- and long-range needs for trained library workers; and (3) to determine their needs for additional library education and training facilities and for revised curricula. In the light of this information the Conference proposed to evaluate the assistance given in recent years by American advisors and temporary library school faculty in these countries, and then to ascertain the roles that both local library schools and their counterparts in the United States can play in serving the needs for trained library workers in these and other developing countries. .X 339 1 924 371 1 924 387 1 924 923 1 924 924 9 924 1403 1 924 1403 1 924 .I 925 .T Library Effectiveness .A Morse, P.M. .W This book is an experiment - in several respects.

It happens not unfrequently that some book is called for by a reader, or that in looking up the answer to a question a librarian has occasion to use a book which he finds in the catalogue of another library, but which does not belong to his own collection. The book, very likely, is one that can be replaced if lost. But it would take time to get it through ordinary channels; it might be necessary to send abroad for a copy or to wait to pick up one, if the book is scarce. In such a case it would be a great convenience to be able to borrow a book for a few days. .X 249 1 926 431 1 926 891 1 926 926 5 926 927 2 926 1028 1 926 1397 1 926 1439 2 926 1439 2 926 .I 927 .T Personal Relations Between Librarians and Readers .A Green, S.S. .W When scholars and persons of high social position come to a library, they have confidence enough, in regard to the cordiality of their reception, to make known their wishes without timidity or reserve. Modest men in the humbler walks of life, and well-trained boys and girls, need encouragement before they become ready to say freely what they want. A hearty reception by a sympathizing friend, and the recognition of some one at hand who will listen to inquiries, even although he may consider them unimportant, make it easy for such persons to ask questions, and put them at once on a home footing. .X 274 1 927 353 1 927 926 2 927 927 5 927 1017 1 927 1028 1 927 1263 1 927 1357 1 927 1357 1 927 .I 928 .T The Divided Catalog .A Elrod, J.M. .W As early as 1905 the divided catalog was being presented as a preferable alternative to the dictionary catalog. Writing in 1958 Dorothy Grosser found that the steady stream of papers on the subject began in 1938. She reported 21 articles based on actual experience with the divided catalog. A quick check of her list discloses that all divided catalogs are not represented by articles. She recorded nine opponents of the divided catalog and six better known members of the profession reserving judgement. Lyle in his new edition of The Administration of the College Library considers it "safer," rather than "wiser" as in his earlier edition, to await further evidence. Faced at Central Methodist College Library with a dictionary catalog which had outgrown its cabinets and which was to be expanded, a survey of catalog user opinion was undertaken to determine if some division of the catalog should be considered. Some revision of the filing would be needed anyway because of inconsistencies which had crept in, largely involving the inter-filing of subject and title entries. The following questions were asked of all users of the catalog during hours selected at random over several weeks: 1. Are you looking for a particular book or for books on a particular subject? Were you looking under author, title, or subject? 2. What is your greatest difficulty in using the catalog? 3. How would you feel about having the subject cards in a separate file? One hundred persons, approximately one tenth of the campus population, were questioned; 93 per cent felt that they would prefer having subject cards in a separate catalog, 5 per cent were opposed, and 2 per cent undecided. It must be admitted that the prejudice of the person asking may have influenced the way in which the question was answered - a similar survey made in 1954 by the University of Toronto showed general support for the dictionary catalog. .X 57 1 928 75 1 928 176 1 928 202 1 928 209 2 928 276 1 928 326 1 928 329 1 928 565 1 928 572 1 928 595 1 928 596 1 928 608 1 928 619 1 928 810 1 928 812 1 928 813 1 928 814 1 928 870 1 928 891 1 928 894 1 928 928 5 928 963 2 928 965 1 928 973 4 928 990 1 928 991 1 928 1255 1 928 1413 1 928 1445 1 928 1445 1 928 .I 929 .T The Trading Stamp Mentality .A Stokes, R. .W A number of trips to the United States, to teach in library schools, have inculcated in me a variety of views about the present state of American library education. They are personal opinions - no more - but they come from one who has seen much that he admires and who believes wholeheartedly that the American spirit includes a firm resolution to change whatever is inefficient or corrupt. Otherwise, 1776 would have no meaning. The opinions do not stem directly from my experience in the five accredited schools in which I have taught, but are strongly rooted in my general observation of library education practice and my discussions with members of the library profession. .X 929 5 929 934 1 929 934 1 929 .I 930 .T Top Priority for Cataloging-In-Source .A Wheeler, J.L. .W After a century of public library service and progress, public libraries attract less than a third, perhaps only a quarter of the adult population, either to read and borrow books, or to look up information. But nearly 60 per cent of the population is over 21. Currently a few large city libraries show slight decreases in annual circulation, the major measure of their usefulness. Yet, nationally, circulation and the informational use of public libraries have in general steadily increased, especially in the last decade. Possibly because the number of public, college, university, and special libraries doubled, from 13,676 reported in 1960, to 27,746 in 1968 (Publishers' Weekly, January 20, 1969). And there are more than that many school libraries. .X 92 1 930 246 1 930 249 1 930 825 1 930 883 1 930 930 8 930 931 1 930 941 1 930 950 1 930 978 1 930 987 1 930 988 2 930 997 1 930 1043 1 930 1079 1 930 1216 1 930 1393 1 930 1393 1 930 .I 931 .T Backlog to Frontlog .A Scilken, M.H. .W A scheme for circulating nonfiction books without the help of the Library of Congress. .X 930 1 931 931 5 931 931 5 931 .I 932 .T The Urban Library Dilemma .A Gaines, E.J. .W The American urban public library is in something of a dilemma. Relatively secure in the affections of the populace, the library is nevertheless frequently threatened by loss of income. The threats are cyclical and are associated with the local tax picture, which at the present time is notably obscure. The abortive attempts earlier this year to reduce appropriations for the libraries in Newark and New York received widespread attention both because the libraries are quite visible nationally and because the proposed cuts were preposterously unmistakable. In the eye of the politician who must find that tiny bit of safe water between the shoals of economy and those of service, the library appears to be expendable ballast to be dumped in heavy weather. In 12 years in two city libraries, I have seen almost every budget year produce a critical fight to prevent disaster from overtaking the library. I think the experience is not uncommon. Only the most extraordinary efforts keep most urban libraries from going under. Libraries seldom thrive; they survive. Periods of calm and prosperity are rare for urban public libraries in the richest nation in the world during this era of extraordinary national economic success. The paradox invites some critical self-analysis. .X 932 5 932 932 5 932 .I 933 .T The Library Press .A Moon, E. .W The deadliest disease afflicting the library press is proliferation. The kindest and most conservative estimate I am able to bring myself to make is that there are at least three times as many library periodicals in this country as we can afford or are necessary. Perhaps the most constructive single thing that could be accomplished would be to persuade at least one in three publishers of a library periodical to cease publication. One might reasonably expect that librarians, who have done so much public wailing about the publication explosion, would be among the chief advocates and practitioners of birth control in the world of print. Instead we find them cavorting as uninhibitedly in the king-size bed of printed procreation as do the denizens of the Sodom and Gomorrah of science and technology. Just about every library of any consequence (and some of little consequence) and, almost without exception, every group or organization within the loose boundaries of our profession, decides, virtually at the moment of its birth, that it cannot survive without a publication of its own - a newsletter, a journal, some regular calling card to announce its presence to the world at large. .X 162 1 933 171 1 933 398 1 933 933 6 933 1076 2 933 1275 1 933 1275 1 933 .I 934 .T Library Education and the Public Library .A Garrison, G. .W A major and largely justifiable criticism of library education has always been that it is too closely tied to present practices and that it trains for current service instead of educating for growth and change. Unfortunately, the picture many faculty members have of what today's requirements for public library service are tends to be obsolete. Graduates are thus doubly handicapped. Not only do we fail to educate, we fail even to provide realistic training. At worst, we perpetuate the past and train people for tasks that are no longer central to the concerns of public libraries. Library education, like the public library itself, will have to accelerate the pace of change or risk the fate of oblivion. Institutions that can move with the times and maintain a position of relevance to contemporary affairs will survive. Others will wither away, disappear, or be replaced by more responsive agencies. There is no shortage of prophets of doom for both the public library and for graduate library education, but there are plenty of signs of life yet in both. An article in the June 13, 1968 issue of The Reporter called "Dust Gathers on the Public Library" summed up nicely the apparent slow decline and loss of purpose of a once-revered institution (however, The Reporter is dead - while the public library lives on). .X 22 1 934 230 1 934 929 1 934 934 6 934 954 1 934 1423 1 934 1423 1 934 .I 935 .T Crisis in Library Education .A Bundy, M.L. .W A battle is currently being waged at the University of Maryland School of Library and Information Services; its outcome will influence the future of the library profession. Because of the significance of this controversy, this situation at Maryland is here brought to the attention of the profession at large. Last fall, a group, with funding from the Office of Education, brought into being an educational program which is addressing the profession's most critical problems, those central to its survival as a viable social institution: The library profession's need to define and fulfill an important service function in the public arena; its failure to make itself relevant to other than middle-class interests in the culture; and its inavailability to contribute to the alleviation of the severe social, economic, and other inequalities which exist in the culture and which continue to deprive black Americans particularly of even minimal life opportunities. .X 376 1 935 910 1 935 935 6 935 1006 1 935 1049 1 935 1145 1 935 1227 1 935 1384 1 935 1396 1 935 1396 1 935 .I 936 .T Along the Academic Way .A Mason, E. .W The invitation to apply for this council on Library Resources fellowship stated as one aim to break administrators loose from their desk to read, investigate, and reach for broadening experiences that might make them administrate better. The application listed seven targets of study in the working context of university research libraries: 1) Organizational structures; 2) Management Techniques; 3) Program budgeting; 4) Use of machines, including the computer; 5) Research collection development; 6) Non-book materials in the library; 7) Out-of- building services. .X 161 1 936 235 1 936 287 1 936 289 2 936 291 1 936 548 1 936 594 1 936 597 1 936 598 1 936 601 1 936 836 1 936 863 1 936 864 1 936 865 1 936 866 1 936 868 1 936 897 1 936 916 1 936 936 6 936 1052 1 936 1084 1 936 1248 1 936 1248 1 936 .I 937 .T The Philadelphia Project .A Benford, J.Q. .W The objectives of the research were: 1) to determine actual requirements for library resources by elementary and secondary grade students and to evaluate existing library resources in terms both of student needs and national standards, and 2) on the basis of this information to outline the respective roles of the school libraries and the public libraries in providing needed resources and in developing joint planning. .X 161 1 937 295 1 937 300 1 937 340 1 937 358 2 937 433 1 937 624 1 937 631 1 937 908 1 937 937 5 937 946 1 937 1056 1 937 1373 1 937 1373 1 937 .I 938 .T Library Cost Analysis: A Recipe .A Kountz, J. .W Unforgivably, time has passed since the days when the library's patron was the local monarch and cost was no deterrent. Time's passage has replaced the monarch with taxpayers or stockholders, and, concurrently, sensitivity to cost has attained stellar importance. The causes for being unaware of costs may stem from a variety of reasons, but they cannot, in all fairness to the profession, belie an inability to perform the simple arithmetic of cost accounting. What is suspected is a lack of the few simple ground rules and the logical operations that bind them together, in short - a recipe for cost accounting and analysis. In the following is outlined one such set of ground rules and their related procedural requirements, which have evolved and been applied with success over the past few years. It is stressed that since this set represents the findings of one library, it may not fully satisfy the specific requirements of your own shop. Therefore, feel free to adopt the ground rules to your immediate requirements. With regard to discipline, it is pretty much summed up in the six steps and five resource requirements which follow. In addition to identifying steps, requirements, and the mysterious ways of cost analysis, these ingredients are blended together in a manner which will be meaningful for your internal operations and may be significant for your library's future. .X 90 1 938 231 1 938 249 1 938 250 1 938 261 1 938 288 1 938 289 1 938 295 2 938 299 1 938 334 1 938 354 1 938 365 1 938 408 1 938 608 1 938 610 1 938 617 1 938 620 1 938 815 1 938 865 1 938 938 5 938 939 1 938 959 1 938 974 1 938 984 1 938 991 1 938 992 1 938 1221 1 938 1317 1 938 1318 1 938 1352 1 938 1365 1 938 1390 1 938 1390 1 938 .I 939 .T The Paradoxes of Library Cooperation .A Dougherty, R.M. .W The need for libraries to cooperate has long been recognized, as countless articles written within the past decade will attest. Moreover, the necessity to combine forces has never been as apparent as it is today. Because the cost of self-sufficiency has become undeniably prohibitive, libraries can no longer afford to act as free agents. Voluntary library cooperation is no natural manifestation of social interaction. Rhetoric alone is a impotent agent of change. In truth, cooperative programs succeed only as long as each participant perceives the arrangement as beneficial to his institution. .X 90 1 939 207 1 939 231 1 939 261 1 939 295 1 939 299 1 939 334 1 939 340 2 939 354 1 939 361 1 939 431 2 939 549 1 939 608 1 939 610 1 939 617 1 939 620 1 939 815 1 939 872 1 939 910 1 939 938 1 939 939 5 939 940 1 939 941 1 939 955 1 939 991 1 939 992 1 939 996 1 939 1009 1 939 1080 1 939 1221 1 939 1236 1 939 1318 1 939 1365 1 939 1390 2 939 1424 1 939 1435 1 939 1436 1 939 1441 1 939 1441 1 939 .I 940 .T ISBD Its Origin, Rationale, and Implications .A Spaulding, C.S. .W A proper understanding of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), a standard promulgated by the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), requires some knowledge of how it came into existence, what reasoning prompted its development, ad what useful results can be expected from its adoption.

Users of LC catalog cards will require retraining: all reference librarians will experience an immediate and continuing demand for explanation of the new catalog cards to users; those large public and research libraries with computer-based systems will require costly modifications of computer programs. Yet the ISBD (International Standard Bibliographic Description) is destined to be implemented by the Library of Congress with the sanction of ALA but without even being considered by the recognized standards associations (ISO, ANSI), to say nothing of the other professional and information industry organizations. .X 92 1 941 141 2 941 244 1 941 246 1 941 299 3 941 333 3 941 361 1 941 365 1 941 449 1 941 522 1 941 529 1 941 530 2 941 553 1 941 627 2 941 628 3 941 630 1 941 802 1 941 819 1 941 822 1 941 825 1 941 854 1 941 871 1 941 872 2 941 873 2 941 874 4 941 875 3 941 876 2 941 877 2 941 878 2 941 879 1 941 880 1 941 883 1 941 892 3 941 930 1 941 939 1 941 940 4 941 941 7 941 950 2 941 978 2 941 988 1 941 990 1 941 992 1 941 993 1 941 994 2 941 995 3 941 996 3 941 997 3 941 998 2 941 1079 5 941 1080 1 941 1143 1 941 1153 1 941 1189 1 941 1216 2 941 1230 1 941 1251 1 941 1257 1 941 1303 1 941 1351 2 941 1396 2 941 1420 2 941 1421 1 941 1434 3 941 1435 5 941 1436 3 941 1441 1 941 1442 2 941 1442 2 941 .I 942 .T Pay Libraries & User Charges .A De Gennaro, R. .W The battle lines are being drawn for a great debate over the emotionally and politically charged issue of how library and information services are to be funded in the coming decades. Most librarians will be on the side of "conservatism" and "democracy," favoring the continuation of traditional modes of tax-supported public library service with information freely available to all as a matter of right. Information industry people, publishers, government officials, engineers, and even, perhaps, authors will be on the side of "progress" and "profits," advocating a new concept of for-profit or pay libraries, user charges, and information as a salable commodity. .X 10 1 942 145 1 942 152 1 942 167 1 942 234 1 942 304 1 942 306 1 942 338 1 942 526 1 942 551 1 942 646 1 942 647 1 942 651 1 942 879 1 942 942 8 942 943 1 942 944 1 942 947 1 942 948 1 942 1009 1 942 1017 1 942 1049 1 942 1206 1 942 1237 1 942 1258 1 942 1305 1 942 1306 1 942 1378 1 942 1390 1 942 1440 1 942 1450 1 942 1453 1 942 1453 1 942 .I 943 .T Austerity, Technology, and Resource Sharing: Research Libraries Face the Future .A De Gennaro, R. .W During the last two decades academic libraries, in parallel with their parent institutions, experienced the greatest period of growth and affluence that they have ever known. The watchword was "more" - more money, more books and journals, more staff, more space, and more technology. Many new research libraries were created, and those that already existed experienced unprecedented growth. Although libraries got more of everything during those years, they still could not keep pace with the growth of new fields of research, new doctoral programs, and the increasing production of books and journals. Two decades of affluence not only failed to help solve the many problems that were brought on by exponential growth - they exacerbated them. .X 46 1 943 115 1 943 128 1 943 129 1 943 130 1 943 167 1 943 172 1 943 183 1 943 192 1 943 196 1 943 215 1 943 219 1 943 221 1 943 223 1 943 225 1 943 232 1 943 234 2 943 277 1 943 280 1 943 290 1 943 304 1 943 306 1 943 338 1 943 365 1 943 393 1 943 415 1 943 453 1 943 468 1 943 494 1 943 639 1 943 646 2 943 647 2 943 651 2 943 652 1 943 765 1 943 818 1 943 822 1 943 823 1 943 825 1 943 827 1 943 856 1 943 886 1 943 888 1 943 913 1 943 925 1 943 942 1 943 943 9 943 944 3 943 948 1 943 963 1 943 1004 1 943 1017 1 943 1021 1 943 1023 2 943 1049 1 943 1070 1 943 1071 1 943 1085 1 943 1203 1 943 1206 1 943 1237 1 943 1257 1 943 1258 1 943 1302 1 943 1374 1 943 1378 1 943 1390 1 943 1401 1 943 1433 1 943 1437 1 943 1440 1 943 1441 1 943 1450 2 943 1453 1 943 1453 1 943 .I 944 .T The View from the Tower of Babel .A Gore, D. .W A funny thing happened on the way to the biggest building boom in library history.

Its origins have been traced to simple war games, used in military training when the "real thing" was either unavailable or too dangerous. In more recent times, these games have become more and more sophisticated, and many now use large electronic computers to handle the complex calculations involved. Since 1956, when the first well-developed management game was introduced, the technique has spread rapidly into a wide variety of disciplines and today it is used at all levels of education, from primary school classes to courses for experienced men and women. One of the main causes of this "game explosion" has been the rapid development of sophisticated management techniques, such as simulation and mathematical modelling, which have been made possible by rapid advances in computer technology. .X 222 1 945 223 1 945 291 1 945 792 1 945 815 1 945 896 1 945 945 6 945 961 1 945 982 1 945 1401 1 945 1401 1 945 .I 946 .T Library Materials .A Lyman, H.H. .W The problem investigated by the research was the development of standards for reading materials that would support the adult new reader in the exercise of his new-found skill and build the habit of regular use of the printed word. Bridging the gap between minimal literacy skills and the reading habit was proposed as essential to the purposes of the library program in helping the reader improve has basic education skills, increase his employability, and develop his potential as a citizen and gain personal satisfaction in his many adult roles. The nature of library materials best designed for this end required study in depth. The findings and conclusions derived from the research project provide basic information about the adult new reader and his reading, criteria for analysis of reading materials, and a bibliography of materials.

It makes a good deal of sense when one considers that the library's function is to parcel out information, and that information can be forwarded electronically as easily as it can be mailed. In fact, the logic of library networks is such that everyone is hopping on the bandwagon -- consultants, systems analysts, state agencies and a growing list of manufacturers that includes Xerox and International Business Machines. Their initial efforts are concentrated on what are basically bookkeeping tasks -- in particular, the cataloging of new acquisitions. The Ohio college Library Center, for example, provides its customers with entries for their card catalog files; and because OCLC is the first and most extensive of the networks, its approach is being closely copied by the others. .X 10 2 947 115 1 947 167 1 947 190 1 947 225 1 947 244 1 947 304 1 947 305 1 947 306 1 947 335 1 947 342 1 947 358 1 947 385 1 947 393 1 947 394 1 947 433 1 947 434 2 947 459 1 947 529 1 947 534 2 947 551 1 947 639 1 947 643 1 947 644 1 947 645 1 947 647 1 947 651 1 947 702 1 947 731 1 947 732 1 947 817 1 947 820 1 947 823 1 947 825 1 947 826 1 947 827 1 947 828 1 947 885 1 947 942 1 947 947 7 947 948 1 947 1017 1 947 1058 1 947 1059 1 947 1060 1 947 1146 1 947 1230 1 947 1257 1 947 1258 1 947 1305 1 947 1306 1 947 1374 1 947 1390 2 947 1437 1 947 1441 1 947 1441 1 947 .I 948 .T Library Planning and Decision Making Systems .A Hamburg, M. .W The research project which produced this book concentrated on the problem of the design and development of statistical information systems that would provide quantitative information for effective management of university and large public libraries. Since there is an inseparable need not only for improved library statistical data systems but also for the above-mentioned frameworks for rational planning and decision making, we have devoted considerable effort to the development of analytical models that might assist library administrators in making decisions that would maximize the flow of benefits imparted to the communities the library serves. Some of the results of this model-building effort are repored in these pages. .X 5 1 948 10 1 948 33 1 948 115 1 948 158 1 948 190 1 948 207 1 948 222 1 948 225 1 948 232 1 948 234 3 948 241 1 948 244 1 948 245 1 948 249 1 948 267 2 948 292 1 948 304 2 948 305 1 948 306 2 948 331 1 948 338 1 948 358 2 948 364 1 948 365 1 948 385 1 948 394 1 948 406 1 948 408 1 948 433 1 948 459 1 948 494 1 948 502 1 948 515 1 948 534 1 948 587 1 948 614 1 948 638 1 948 646 1 948 647 1 948 651 2 948 702 1 948 731 1 948 732 1 948 748 1 948 751 1 948 764 1 948 765 1 948 778 1 948 786 1 948 791 1 948 792 1 948 793 1 948 800 1 948 811 3 948 816 1 948 817 1 948 818 1 948 820 1 948 823 4 948 825 1 948 826 1 948 827 1 948 828 1 948 840 1 948 841 1 948 842 2 948 896 1 948 925 6 948 942 1 948 943 1 948 944 2 948 946 1 948 947 1 948 948 16 948 962 1 948 963 1 948 964 1 948 983 1 948 1017 2 948 1019 1 948 1023 1 948 1033 1 948 1049 1 948 1058 1 948 1079 1 948 1146 1 948 1206 1 948 1219 1 948 1230 1 948 1237 1 948 1242 1 948 1257 2 948 1317 1 948 1324 1 948 1378 1 948 1379 1 948 1390 1 948 1400 1 948 1401 1 948 1403 1 948 1416 1 948 1417 1 948 1440 1 948 1450 1 948 1453 1 948 1453 1 948 .I 949 .T Library Practice in Hospitals .A Bloomquist, H. .W According to a National Hospital Panel Survey conducted by the American Hospital Association in February 1970, 4,191 (72 percent) of the 5,820 community hospitals in the United States operated a library. This percentage falls to 60 when only hospitals of less than 100-bed capacity are considered (1,990 libraries in 3,318 hospitals). In the 4,191 libraries, one or more full-time staff members were found in only 1,054 (25 percent). In even fewer, 928, was there supervision of the library by a professional librarian. Clearly there is a massive job to be done if these libraries are to perform properly their functions of health education and patient care. By "community hospital" we mean the nonfederal, short-term hospital providing general and selected special services, the hospital located at some distance from a large medical center and without teaching and research programs, such as a nursing school or internships. Though the librarians of more sophisticated teaching institutions may well profit from the study of this book, it is written primarily for an audience of untrained, probably newly employed, individuals who find themselves supervising the hospital's library and do not know where to begin. .X 192 2 949 215 2 949 221 1 949 410 2 949 949 9 949 1071 4 949 1147 1 949 1147 1 949 .I 950 .T The Crisis in Cataloging .A Osborn, A.D. .W A wise German librarian has linked the library administrator and the cataloger as working for the common aim of economy in work and cost coupled with better utilization of a library's resources. This aim, he thinks, is expressed in various kinds of cooperative work, of pooling interests, and of setting standards. It is to be developed prudently, he says, with the objectives setting limitations in such a way that more values will not be destroyed than are created. This ideal he set out in a chapter entitled "Tasks for the future." There was a time, and not so very far back, when the library administrator and the cataloger worked side by side. In the more immediate past, however, the two have become separated, so that their closer collaboration does need to be set down as a task for the future, the immediate future at that. Many new problems of administration have served to busy the administrator, and most catalogers have had more work than enough, with the result that administrators have come to know less and less of cataloging, and catalogers have come to know less and less about general library administration. The situation now is that the administrator will be forced to pay more attention to cataloging because it has become a major problem field. .X 92 2 950 235 1 950 246 2 950 247 1 950 262 1 950 326 1 950 333 2 950 825 1 950 883 1 950 930 1 950 940 1 950 941 2 950 950 5 950 978 3 950 988 1 950 991 1 950 996 1 950 997 2 950 1000 1 950 1079 1 950 1153 1 950 1216 2 950 1266 1 950 1395 1 950 1441 1 950 1441 1 950 .I 951 .T The Historical Background of Departmental and Collegiate Libraries .A Thompson, L. .W In spite of the great volume of material dealing with departmental and collegiate libraries that has appeared in library periodicals and books on university and college library administration, there has been relatively little original thought on the subject and virtually no historical treatment to provide an adequate background for solution of problems which have their roots in a former generation. Most of the literature has been either repetition of the old arguments for and against this type of library organization or statements of how this or that institution has faced its peculiar problems. Except for contemporary accounts of early American scholars describing the attempts to transplant the German seminar library to American soil and reports on a few large university libraries, there is no account of the conditions which brought about and for many years invigorated the departmental system. An evaluation of trends in the history of departmental libraries over the last three-quarters of a century should prove to be a valuable supplement to other information in the hands of surveyors and administrators who are interested in abolishing, establishing, continuing, or amalgamating departmental libraries in a given institution. .X 96 1 951 297 1 951 298 1 951 304 1 951 951 5 951 952 1 951 1183 1 951 1339 1 951 1365 1 951 1365 1 951 .I 952 .T Characteristics of the Research Literature Used by Chemists and Physicists in the United States .A Fussler, H.H. .W The increasing growth and complexities of research libraries are natural consequences of the growth of knowledge and the increasing complexity of knowledge. Librarians have tried to amass more and more knowledge in the form of books for the benefit of the diverse interests of their clienteles. Their success in this activity has been reflected in the increasing difficulties of identifying satisfactorily what they have. The processes of cataloging, classifying, and related technical routines have become increasingly complex and expensive. The processes are of such a nature that the cost for adding each new item to a large library is, on the average, potentially if not actually, higher than that for its predecessor. The total proportion of the budgets of large research libraries that is spent for the processing of material, as distinguished from the costs of its purchase or its direct servicing, is now such as to give librarians pause for fear a day may come when nearly all the money available to large libraries will be spent in processing material, and little will be left to service the collection or to buy new books! .X 14 1 952 19 1 952 31 1 952 36 1 952 37 2 952 39 1 952 40 1 952 41 1 952 46 1 952 47 1 952 48 1 952 88 1 952 96 1 952 97 1 952 102 1 952 103 1 952 132 1 952 137 1 952 167 1 952 181 1 952 182 1 952 183 1 952 184 1 952 189 1 952 193 1 952 195 1 952 198 2 952 201 1 952 221 1 952 233 1 952 237 1 952 253 1 952 255 1 952 269 1 952 272 1 952 297 1 952 298 1 952 313 1 952 359 2 952 377 1 952 379 1 952 395 2 952 415 2 952 505 1 952 543 1 952 560 1 952 573 1 952 614 2 952 618 1 952 632 1 952 635 2 952 638 2 952 667 1 952 735 1 952 748 3 952 749 1 952 751 1 952 753 1 952 756 1 952 757 1 952 760 1 952 764 1 952 765 1 952 767 3 952 772 1 952 774 1 952 775 1 952 777 1 952 778 2 952 782 1 952 787 1 952 792 1 952 804 1 952 805 1 952 821 1 952 831 1 952 891 1 952 893 1 952 905 2 952 951 1 952 952 10 952 953 4 952 958 1 952 964 1 952 968 1 952 1009 1 952 1016 1 952 1018 1 952 1019 1 952 1030 1 952 1061 1 952 1071 1 952 1083 1 952 1085 1 952 1086 2 952 1087 1 952 1182 1 952 1200 1 952 1210 2 952 1235 1 952 1240 1 952 1254 1 952 1256 1 952 1260 3 952 1274 1 952 1275 6 952 1276 2 952 1277 1 952 1278 2 952 1280 2 952 1287 1 952 1301 1 952 1302 6 952 1304 1 952 1313 1 952 1338 1 952 1339 1 952 1344 1 952 1347 1 952 1359 1 952 1365 1 952 1369 1 952 1373 1 952 1380 1 952 1397 1 952 1417 1 952 1418 1 952 1428 1 952 1444 1 952 1444 1 952 .I 953 .T Characteristics of the Research Literature Used by Chemists and Physicists in The United States, Part II .A Fussler, H.H. .W This is the second of two papers dealing with the characteristics of the literature used by research chemists and physicists in the United States.

Compared to other types of societies, this one demands a wider variety of higher level skills and thus generates much pressure against the forces that in all societies tend to keep the individual in his original caste or class. Much of the resulting mobility is based on a radical change which has taken place in the occupational structure of modern industrial societies, one which neither Marx nor orthodox economists anticipated, an expansion of the demand for professional and technical skills of a high order. Thus not only are individuals competing with one another in their efforts to rise in the class system, but occupations, too, are engaged in the same competition and may move up or down in power, prestige, or income. .X 22 1 954 230 1 954 237 1 954 301 1 954 348 1 954 923 1 954 934 1 954 954 9 954 1056 1 954 1333 1 954 1423 1 954 1423 1 954 .I 955 .T Interrelations among Special Librarys .A Budington, W.S. .W The present paper will first deal with some of the objectives, etiology, and requirements of the library network as it overtakes and embraces co-operation. Next, in this context of network development, a number of activities involving special libraries will be reviewed by way of illustration and example. The greatest proportion of special library interrelationships are, on the surface at least, random and informal. We shall therefore concentrate on such arrangements as have about them some measure of structure and intent. Finally, we will deduce from these examples the performance and promise which special libraries may offer to a total library network or information system. .X 24 1 955 74 1 955 75 1 955 119 2 955 122 2 955 336 1 955 340 1 955 431 1 955 684 1 955 939 1 955 955 5 955 967 1 955 982 1 955 1009 1 955 1011 2 955 1361 1 955 1390 1 955 1424 1 955 1451 1 955 1451 1 955 .I 956 .T The Cranfield II Relevance Assessments: A Critical Evaluation .A Harter, Stephen P. .W The relevance assessments belonging to the Cranfield II document/query collection are shown to be faulty, in the sense that "many" relevant documents were not so identified by the Cranfield judges..

This requires the use of decision rules which permit library resources to be directed to those activities which yield the highest returns.. An effort is made to utilize part of welfare economics to suggest which groups of library users will provide the greatest return to society.. An evaluation of the traditional library functions of education, information, and leisure suggests that libraries should direct their resources toward educational activities and not toward recreation when public monies are involved.. A case can be made for subsidizing the library activities of school-age children, other explicitly involved in education, disadvantages minority groups and governmental officials and staff.. Since public and school libraries produce and distribute essentially the same services, it is an uneconomic use of the communities' resources to maintain two separate institutions, one of which imposes costs on the other as children are forced to use public library facilities due to school library inadequacies.. .X 5 1 957 74 1 957 83 1 957 90 1 957 91 1 957 158 1 957 222 1 957 223 1 957 245 1 957 273 1 957 279 1 957 288 2 957 291 1 957 292 1 957 331 1 957 368 1 957 381 1 957 408 1 957 435 1 957 490 1 957 496 1 957 591 2 957 592 1 957 615 1 957 723 1 957 724 1 957 815 1 957 834 1 957 860 1 957 865 1 957 915 1 957 925 2 957 957 5 957 959 2 957 960 1 957 961 1 957 962 2 957 972 1 957 976 1 957 984 1 957 1005 1 957 1018 1 957 1023 1 957 1148 1 957 1149 1 957 1219 1 957 1227 3 957 1317 1 957 1333 1 957 1353 2 957 1359 1 957 1360 1 957 1365 1 957 1390 1 957 1400 2 957 1401 1 957 1410 1 957 1424 1 957 1424 1 957 .I 958 .T The Review Article: Its Characteristics and Problems .A Virgo, Julie A. .W The characteristics and problems associated with the review literature in the sciences were examined.. Three major classes of review articles were identified: (1) the annual review which aims to provide a systematic record of the contributions made within the previous year, (2) the critical review which selectively evaluates contributions to the solution of a common research problem, and (3) data compilations which are concerned with facts and findings rather than the opinions of the authors of papers from which the data are taken.. The role and control of the review article in medicine was described.. Over the past fifteen years, the ratio of review to nonreview articles in medicine has been on the order of 1:38.. Possible solutions to a number of problems associated with the review literature are discussed, such as the selection of articles for review..Further examination of some critical questions relating to the production and organization of reviews will have to be undertaken before the review, as a means of bringing the most significant information to its users, will be accepted as a reliable adjunct to the original publications.. .X 39 1 958 43 1 958 47 1 958 50 2 958 65 1 958 75 1 958 91 1 958 326 1 958 429 1 958 446 1 958 473 1 958 485 1 958 503 1 958 513 1 958 572 1 958 582 1 958 586 1 958 588 1 958 589 1 958 603 1 958 613 1 958 614 1 958 616 1 958 618 1 958 632 1 958 657 1 958 685 1 958 686 1 958 691 1 958 718 1 958 719 2 958 721 1 958 722 1 958 724 1 958 725 1 958 773 1 958 778 1 958 791 1 958 952 1 958 953 1 958 958 7 958 987 1 958 988 1 958 1207 1 958 1208 1 958 1235 1 958 1283 1 958 1293 1 958 1302 1 958 1426 1 958 1426 1 958 .I 959 .T Measures of Library Effectiveness .A Morse, Philip M. .W Mathematical models of library operations are presented, allowing managers to estimate measures of effectiveness for a library.. These models describe the amount of use made of resources by a user in a visit, the distribution of book circulation in a collection, the dependence of circulation on time, and the effect of multiple copies on user satisfaction.. Predictions are made on the basis of the models of the consequence of breaking of central library into branch libraries.. The effect, in terms of frustrated use, of removing the least-used books from a collection is discussed, as are strategies for for duplication.. The emphasis is on facilitating getting results from models; for this purpose graphic techniques supplement the mathematical formulas.. .X 4 1 959 5 1 959 33 1 959 36 1 959 90 1 959 161 1 959 178 1 959 183 1 959 184 1 959 193 1 959 194 1 959 199 1 959 201 1 959 202 1 959 203 1 959 204 1 959 205 1 959 207 1 959 209 1 959 212 1 959 217 1 959 220 1 959 222 1 959 245 1 959 284 1 959 286 1 959 287 1 959 288 1 959 291 1 959 292 1 959 294 1 959 364 1 959 401 1 959 406 1 959 408 1 959 543 1 959 588 1 959 591 1 959 613 1 959 624 1 959 766 1 959 799 1 959 800 1 959 808 1 959 811 1 959 816 1 959 865 1 959 915 1 959 916 1 959 925 3 959 938 1 959 957 2 959 959 8 959 960 3 959 961 3 959 962 4 959 964 1 959 972 1 959 984 1 959 1005 1 959 1007 1 959 1018 1 959 1033 1 959 1149 1 959 1151 1 959 1333 1 959 1352 1 959 1353 1 959 1400 3 959 1401 1 959 1401 1 959 .I 960 .T Library Operations Research: A Process of Discovery and Justification .A Leimkuhler, Ferdinand F. .W This article begins with a discussion of the broad role of operations research (O.R.) in a society undergoing change.. The nature of O.R. terms in a library environment is then considered.. The function of models in O.R. is analyzed, the development of a model being contrasted with its formal presentation.. Criteria for good models are suggested.. This article then focuses on storage models for libraries, first considering the Dewey classification system from this perspective and then summarizing more current research carried out under the direction of the author with a grant from the National Science Foundation.. .X 4 1 960 5 1 960 175 1 960 178 1 960 207 1 960 245 1 960 287 1 960 288 1 960 291 2 960 292 1 960 364 1 960 406 1 960 408 1 960 471 1 960 591 1 960 660 1 960 766 1 960 810 1 960 811 1 960 816 1 960 865 1 960 915 1 960 916 1 960 925 4 960 957 1 960 959 3 960 960 6 960 961 3 960 962 3 960 964 1 960 972 1 960 984 1 960 1007 1 960 1033 1 960 1219 1 960 1353 1 960 1400 3 960 1401 1 960 1401 1 960 .I 961 .T An Operations Research Study of a Variable Loan and Duplication Policy at the University of Lancaster .A Buckland, Michael K. .W The Library Research Unit of the University of Lancaster used an Operations Research (O.R.) approach to recommend changes in loan and duplication policies in the university library.. The "variable" loan and duplication policy which was developed is described and also the considerable impact of implementation.. Other libraries are now adopting this kind of policy..

W. .W For optimal allocations of limited funds, it is necessary for libraries to develop measures of output.. Various forms of user exposure to documents are discussed in an effort to develop such measures for public libraries.. It is suggested that the actual method of accounting be used to compare such measures with costs, and an illustrative computation is presented.. It is shown how size of user population, amount of exposure, and costs for a given year can be estimated..Similar techniques are suggested for evaluation of library programs.. This approach is then compared with current concepts of library standards.. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research.. .X 4 2 962 5 1 962 9 2 962 32 1 962 96 1 962 137 1 962 163 1 962 178 2 962 206 1 962 207 3 962 208 1 962 217 1 962 222 2 962 223 2 962 245 2 962 287 1 962 288 1 962 291 1 962 292 1 962 296 1 962 297 1 962 298 1 962 300 1 962 301 1 962 302 1 962 358 1 962 364 2 962 406 1 962 408 2 962 456 1 962 515 1 962 535 1 962 591 3 962 625 1 962 629 1 962 631 1 962 634 1 962 766 1 962 768 1 962 774 1 962 783 1 962 791 1 962 799 1 962 811 3 962 816 4 962 818 1 962 823 1 962 843 1 962 844 1 962 846 1 962 865 1 962 913 1 962 915 2 962 916 1 962 925 3 962 948 1 962 957 2 962 959 4 962 960 3 962 961 4 962 962 10 962 964 4 962 968 1 962 972 1 962 976 1 962 984 1 962 994 1 962 1005 1 962 1007 1 962 1015 1 962 1018 1 962 1033 1 962 1068 1 962 1149 1 962 1203 1 962 1205 1 962 1242 1 962 1247 1 962 1268 1 962 1318 1 962 1321 1 962 1333 1 962 1353 1 962 1354 1 962 1400 4 962 1401 1 962 1407 1 962 1445 1 962 1445 1 962 .I 963 .T Catalog use in a Large Research Library .A Lipetz, Ben_Ami .W Concern with the questions of when and how best to computerize the catalog of a large research library, and how to improve an existing conventional catalog, motivated a study of the utilization of the main catalog of the Yale University Library.. The study was carefully designed to provide a representative sample of catalog use.. Traffic through the catalog area was observed over a period of more than a year.. A schedule of interviews with catalog users was based on observed traffic volume by hour of day, day of week, and time of year.. More than 1,000 interviews were completed, using nonleading interviewing technique.. Information was derived on the catalog user's objective, starting clues, and university affiliation.. Search success was determined.. Follow-up studies were performed on the catalog cards and the actual books identified in successful searches.. Reasons for search failure were determined for know-item searches.. Availability and accuracy of different categories of search clues were ascertained.. Published algorithms for searching computerized bibliographic files were evaluated.. Attention is given to the feasibility of automatic construction of computerized catalogs..

Librarians and their assistants respect research and scholarship and are inclined to go far beyond the call of duty in helping the investigator, even when they are skeptical (rightfully, in most instances) of the usefulness of such research for the improvement of their own organizations. Data and related information are necessarily treated with greater precision and discipline in libraries than in factories and most bureaucratic offices; therefore, significant results can often be obtained with smaller samples and in shorter periods of observation. People working in libraries do not feel they should curtail disclosures about basic processes. Elsewhere professional employees are obligated to preserve trade secrets from competitors or to suppress facts which might be considered scandalous by legislative committees. At least as important to an investigator is the fact that one or more libraries almost always lie close at hand - there could hardly be any more convenient institution. .X 4 2 964 5 1 964 9 2 964 31 2 964 32 1 964 36 1 964 41 1 964 46 2 964 96 1 964 137 1 964 163 1 964 181 1 964 182 1 964 183 1 964 184 1 964 193 1 964 195 1 964 198 1 964 201 1 964 206 2 964 207 5 964 208 3 964 217 1 964 222 2 964 223 2 964 245 2 964 266 2 964 269 1 964 277 1 964 282 1 964 289 1 964 296 1 964 297 1 964 298 1 964 300 1 964 301 1 964 302 1 964 358 1 964 364 2 964 395 1 964 408 1 964 415 1 964 456 1 964 515 1 964 535 1 964 591 2 964 625 1 964 629 1 964 631 1 964 634 1 964 760 1 964 766 1 964 767 1 964 768 1 964 774 2 964 778 1 964 783 1 964 791 1 964 799 1 964 811 3 964 816 4 964 818 1 964 823 1 964 843 1 964 844 1 964 846 1 964 891 1 964 905 1 964 913 1 964 915 1 964 925 2 964 948 1 964 952 1 964 953 1 964 959 1 964 960 1 964 961 3 964 962 4 964 964 9 964 968 2 964 976 1 964 994 1 964 1005 1 964 1009 1 964 1015 1 964 1018 1 964 1019 1 964 1068 1 964 1203 1 964 1240 1 964 1242 1 964 1247 1 964 1268 1 964 1321 1 964 1354 1 964 1359 1 964 1397 1 964 1400 2 964 1407 1 964 1417 1 964 1445 1 964 1445 1 964 .I 965 .T The Information Needs of Current Scientific Research .A Menzel, H. .W The information demands, or information needs, of current scientific research are similar in many respects to the information needs in other forms of scholarship. But this is not true in all cases, and the focus of this paper is on the needs of the research scientists. In discussing the information needs of the scientist, I shall not limit myself to those for which library work is immediately relevant; in fact, a good part of this paper will call attention to the importance of those aspects of scientific communication that take place outside libraries and, indeed, outside literature.

Thus, well-designed experiments should permit judging the relative merits of different classification schemes. This notion, although self-evident, had remarkably little impact on the field of library science prior to the 1950's. During that decade, the first controlled experiments on information retrieval were performed, and these mark a turning point in the history of classification research. For the first time, experimental procedure and the rules of scientific evidence became of critical importance to indexing and classification. It is my purpose here to review some aspects of the most notable of these experimental tests - the ASLIB Cranfield Research Project. .X 50 1 966 79 1 966 131 1 966 146 1 966 175 1 966 361 1 966 382 4 966 389 1 966 458 1 966 474 1 966 608 1 966 769 1 966 773 1 966 780 1 966 785 1 966 825 1 966 911 1 966 956 1 966 966 7 966 997 1 966 1053 1 966 1084 1 966 1216 1 966 1255 3 966 1266 1 966 1282 1 966 1361 1 966 1393 1 966 1395 1 966 1421 1 966 1421 1 966 .I 967 .T On Improving Communication among Scientists .A Swanson, D.R. .W Libraries and information services of the twenty-first century almost certainly will be the beneficiary, or perhaps the victim, of enormous technological change. High-speed search by computers, microrecording techniques, remote interrogation consoles, and great communication networks will someday place the world's knowledge at our fingertips. It is inferred by many that, through such a metamorphosis, we shall cure the information ills of our age, bring order out of chaos, and somehow contain the "information explosion" - or at least reduce it to a small conflagration. .X 29 2 967 58 1 967 66 1 967 95 1 967 172 1 967 274 1 967 360 1 967 371 1 967 382 1 967 451 1 967 475 2 967 578 1 967 658 1 967 760 1 967 770 1 967 776 1 967 955 1 967 967 6 967 982 1 967 1038 1 967 1053 1 967 1094 1 967 1281 1 967 1358 1 967 1361 1 967 1404 1 967 1404 1 967 .I 968 .T The Ecology of Privacy .A Sommer, R. .W The purpose of this article is to discuss the part played by the library environment in regulating interaction between people. .X 4 1 968 9 1 968 13 1 968 31 1 968 32 1 968 36 1 968 41 1 968 46 1 968 66 1 968 96 1 968 137 1 968 152 1 968 163 1 968 181 1 968 182 1 968 183 1 968 184 1 968 193 1 968 195 1 968 198 1 968 201 1 968 207 1 968 269 1 968 395 1 968 415 1 968 456 1 968 475 1 968 664 1 968 760 1 968 767 1 968 768 1 968 774 2 968 778 1 968 783 2 968 799 1 968 811 1 968 816 1 968 837 1 968 839 1 968 891 1 968 905 1 968 907 1 968 913 1 968 952 1 968 953 1 968 961 1 968 962 1 968 964 2 968 968 5 968 1009 1 968 1018 1 968 1019 1 968 1068 1 968 1203 1 968 1240 1 968 1321 1 968 1359 1 968 1397 1 968 1407 1 968 1417 1 968 1445 1 968 1445 1 968 .I 969 .T Paper Deacidification: A Preliminary Repot .A Smith, R.D. .W The purpose of this paper is to develop an approach to a practical treatment for the wet deacidification of paper in books stored in libraries. .X 337 2 969 969 5 969 971 3 969 1211 1 969 1211 1 969 .I 970 .T Fields of Information on Library of Congress Catalog Cards: Analysis of a Random Sample, 1950-1964 .A Avram, H.D.

One of the primary activities in this effort is a system-development study concentrating on the central bibliographic operations, that is, acquisitions, cataloging, reference, etc. This study is now in its early stages, and it is too soon to predict the actual system that will evolve. As an adjunct to this study an analysis of the potential uses of and problems involved in the machine processing of cataloging data was begun. One aspect of the analysis was the design of a preliminary machine- readable catalog record.

He questions its advocates' claim that it best meets a library's needs. He advocates a divided catalog such as the one at Amherst because, for one thing, the separate catalog can more readily be used in conjunction with bibliographies in the subject fields. We find a similar argument in the latest item in the bibliography (Harris, 1957). Fletcher's article seems to have been followed by more than thirty years of silence in the library journals on the subject of the divided catalog. During that period there were probably some divisions of catalogs at some libraries but, as Thom (q.v.) indicates, the greatest period of such activity started in 1937. Our survey of the literature on the divided catalog corroborates this since 1938 in the year in which the steady stream of papers on the subject began. .X 202 1 973 209 2 973 276 2 973 326 1 973 891 1 973 928 4 973 963 1 973 965 1 973 973 6 973 973 6 973 .I 974 .T Cost Survey: Cost of Ordering, Cataloging, and Preparations in Southern California Libraries .A MacQuarrie, C. .W It was our original intention to include the cost of book selection with the cost of ordering, as part of the total acquisition process. We also attempted to get indirect costs, such as rent and utilities. Very few of the libraries were able to supply these figures so we based our survey on direct cost only. We found from the preliminary survey that book selection statistics were extremely difficult to determine, since all the professional staff in the libraries concerned participated in book selection, with the chief librarian performing most of it. As a result, the cost of book selection was exceedingly high and threw the cost of ordering out of proportion. .X 249 1 974 250 1 974 331 1 974 365 1 974 408 1 974 834 1 974 848 1 974 849 1 974 922 1 974 938 1 974 974 5 974 984 2 974 997 1 974 1317 1 974 1359 1 974 1359 1 974 .I 975 .T Why Allocate? .A Bach, H. .W Most academic librarians will no doubt agree with Lyle's statement that the book fund is one of the most important items in the library budget. Fewer academic librarians, however, are likely to agree with the view that in their handling of the book budget, college and university librarians for the most part have not been living up to their professional responsibilities. .X 275 1 975 277 1 975 279 1 975 282 1 975 288 1 975 305 1 975 975 5 975 976 1 975 1183 1 975 1360 1 975 1360 1 975 .I 976 .T Cost Accounting for the Library .A Brutcher, C. Gessford, G. Rixford, E. .W Increasingly, librarians have felt the need for more accurate cost data. The prime reason for this need has been in the development and presentation of the budget which is the instrument used to determine and obtain the funds for the library's forthcoming fiscal period. Since libraries do not charge for the service they render their users, they must derive the funds necessary for their operations and growth from supporting bodies such as federal, state, or local governments, private institutions, and industrial firms. .X 27 1 976 74 1 976 83 1 976 178 1 976 206 3 976 207 1 976 208 2 976 245 3 976 266 1 976 273 1 976 277 1 976 279 2 976 282 1 976 288 2 976 331 1 976 381 1 976 408 4 976 490 1 976 496 1 976 591 2 976 592 1 976 723 1 976 724 1 976 834 1 976 860 1 976 925 2 976 957 1 976 962 1 976 964 1 976 970 1 976 975 1 976 976 7 976 1005 1 976 1007 1 976 1148 1 976 1183 1 976 1227 1 976 1317 2 976 1353 1 976 1359 1 976 1360 2 976 1400 3 976 1410 1 976 1424 1 976 1424 1 976 .I 977 .T A Study of the Usage and Retention of Technical Periodicals .A Strain, P.M. .W Limited physical space expansion, an administrative consideration in every library, becomes a stringent factor in the planning of special libraries. While public and college libraries may have several decades of growth possibility when they take possession of a building or area, it is indeed a fortunate industrial library whose stacks are not overcrowded after five years of establishment in new quarters. Industrial floorspace is too greatly in demand to devote more effort to the possible future growth of the library. Weeding or storage requirements, therefore, are far more immediate considerations to the special industrial library administrators than they are to administrators of other types of libraries. The limits of expansion are usually apparent earliest in the serials collections of industrial libraries because so much current technical data is published first in scientific and technical periodicals. These collections grow rapidly. This summarization of a recent study made by one technical library in the area of space for use of technical journals has potential for other libraries. .X 2 1 977 31 1 977 33 2 977 36 1 977 41 1 977 46 1 977 76 1 977 89 1 977 97 1 977 102 1 977 111 1 977 112 1 977 132 1 977 137 1 977 139 1 977 152 1 977 155 1 977 163 1 977 183 3 977 184 1 977 193 2 977 195 1 977 199 1 977 201 3 977 203 4 977 204 1 977 205 1 977 210 2 977 225 1 977 269 2 977 367 1 977 373 3 977 475 1 977 545 1 977 552 2 977 587 1 977 605 1 977 613 1 977 614 2 977 638 2 977 735 1 977 747 1 977 750 1 977 753 1 977 759 1 977 760 1 977 766 1 977 767 3 977 774 1 977 775 2 977 782 1 977 784 1 977 788 2 977 789 2 977 793 1 977 800 1 977 808 1 977 889 1 977 905 1 977 953 1 977 977 7 977 983 2 977 1016 1 977 1023 1 977 1030 2 977 1055 2 977 1056 1 977 1087 1 977 1090 1 977 1135 1 977 1203 2 977 1256 1 977 1260 1 977 1275 1 977 1276 1 977 1278 1 977 1280 1 977 1285 1 977 1286 1 977 1287 1 977 1302 1 977 1335 1 977 1352 3 977 1369 1 977 1390 1 977 1397 2 977 1417 1 977 1428 1 977 1432 1 977 1451 2 977 1451 2 977 .I 978 .T Remarks on LC Plans for Implementation of New Centralized Acquisitions and Cataloging Program under Title IIC, Higher Education Act .A Cronin, J.w. .W The general purpose of my part in this program discussion is to report to you on the new program of centralized acquisitions and cataloging to be undertaken by the Library of Congress under authorization granted under Title IIC of the Higher Education Act of 1965. By this action, the Congress took two most important steps to aid libraries of higher education in the United States: (1) it fully recognized for the first time, the importance of granting Federal aid and assistance toward solving the problem of cataloging in this country; and (2) it gave the Library of Congress a clear mandate to provide new and unparalleled services for the benefit of academic and research libraries of this country. .X 92 1 978 200 1 978 246 1 978 262 1 978 825 1 978 883 1 978 930 1 978 940 1 978 941 2 978 950 3 978 978 5 978 988 1 978 996 1 978 997 1 978 1079 1 978 1216 1 978 1252 1 978 1252 1 978 .I 979 .T Automated Acquisitions Procedures at the University of Michigan Library .A Dunlap, C. .W In June 1965, the Acquisitions Department of The University of Michigan Library began using a computer-based system for ordering books and other library materials. This is the beginning of an over-all automated system for the Acquisitions Department and was designed with the assistance of Robert O. Kindt, Systems Analyst from the University's Office of Management Services. Preliminary work on the automated system was begun in late 1963, and in September, 1964. Mr. Kindt was assigned to the University Library on a full-time basis. After the preliminary proposal was drafted, cost and feasibility studies were made. Current (i.e., 1964) volume and costs were compared with anticipated volume and costs in 1968 and 1975 for both manual and automated systems. .X 64 1 979 177 1 979 200 2 979 211 1 979 281 1 979 287 1 979 348 1 979 406 1 979 408 3 979 849 1 979 850 1 979 897 1 979 916 1 979 979 5 979 1007 1 979 1051 1 979 1051 1 979 .I 980 .T Facsimile Transmission in Libraries: A State of the Art Survey .A Schatz, S. .W Facsimile transmission is the rapid transmission of printed pages from one point to another using electronic devices. All facsimile transmission methods require converting the original picture into an electrical impulse which is then transmitted over telephone lines, private lines, microwave, or a combination of these communication links. The receiving unit reconverts the electrical impulse into an exact duplicate of the original document on a screen or in the form of a hard copy. .X 59 1 980 63 1 980 175 1 980 355 1 980 408 1 980 481 1 980 482 1 980 686 1 980 717 1 980 718 1 980 719 1 980 850 1 980 980 6 980 1042 1 980 1051 1 980 1410 3 980 1415 1 980 1426 1 980 1426 1 980 .I 981 .T Statistics of Collection Overlap at the Libraries of the Six New England State Universities .A Nugent, W.R. .W As part of a design study to specify a regional processing center for the New England state university libraries, it was required to know the percentage of collection overlap with respect to each of the 30 ordered pairs of 6 libraries. Participating states were Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. This overlap data was needed to predict the degree of joint use of cataloging information and to estimate the efficiency of collective reclassification. The results revealed a high degree of commonality in the 6 collections, showing, for example, that a random title from one library had a 40% chance of being present in another randomly selected library. When current imprint samples were tested, the figure rose to 47%. Rhode Island's holdings were shown to be the collection of greatest duplication elsewhere. .X 4 1 981 61 1 981 64 1 981 65 1 981 67 1 981 70 1 981 71 1 981 72 1 981 73 1 981 135 1 981 162 1 981 175 2 981 206 1 981 207 1 981 208 1 981 245 1 981 249 2 981 250 1 981 271 1 981 282 1 981 290 1 981 295 1 981 374 1 981 382 1 981 394 1 981 458 1 981 481 1 981 483 1 981 485 1 981 580 1 981 601 1 981 622 1 981 696 1 981 705 1 981 717 1 981 728 1 981 729 1 981 770 1 981 776 1 981 779 1 981 780 1 981 781 1 981 783 1 981 834 1 981 835 1 981 848 1 981 849 1 981 850 1 981 851 2 981 852 1 981 862 1 981 863 1 981 872 1 981 922 1 981 925 2 981 981 11 981 982 2 981 984 1 981 1013 1 981 1042 1 981 1051 1 981 1197 1 981 1247 1 981 1257 1 981 1268 1 981 1358 1 981 1390 1 981 1402 1 981 1410 2 981 1415 1 981 1417 1 981 1417 1 981 .I 982 .T Logical Flow Charts and Other New Techniques for the Administration of Libraries and Information Centers .A Gull, C.D. .W The widespread introduction of electronic digital computer systems for information processing has produced significant advances in management theory and practice in recent years.

Later, I began to have second thoughts - I suppose because we were almost buried under an avalanche of data and it soon became apparent that we could not really summarize the findings of the study in one evening. The investigation took off in tangents that had not been originally anticipated. As you have already been informed, the final report deals with such diverse topics as a faculty user attitude survey, mathematical model simulations of processing center operations, approval plan utilization, and an inter-institutional bookkeeping system, all in addition to the cost studies of acquisitions and cataloging in nine libraries. .X 24 1 984 71 1 984 72 1 984 73 1 984 74 1 984 75 2 984 77 1 984 78 2 984 79 1 984 80 1 984 81 1 984 82 1 984 83 1 984 86 1 984 153 1 984 156 1 984 177 1 984 211 1 984 212 1 984 245 1 984 249 1 984 250 1 984 277 1 984 279 1 984 280 1 984 281 1 984 288 1 984 291 1 984 292 1 984 331 1 984 336 1 984 365 1 984 408 1 984 486 1 984 591 1 984 601 1 984 720 1 984 748 1 984 785 1 984 786 1 984 787 1 984 788 1 984 789 1 984 791 1 984 834 2 984 848 1 984 851 1 984 852 1 984 853 1 984 854 1 984 855 1 984 860 1 984 862 1 984 863 1 984 865 1 984 915 1 984 922 1 984 925 2 984 938 1 984 957 1 984 959 1 984 960 1 984 961 1 984 962 1 984 972 1 984 974 2 984 981 1 984 984 7 984 1011 1 984 1013 1 984 1197 1 984 1317 1 984 1353 1 984 1359 1 984 1400 1 984 1401 1 984 1401 1 984 .I 985 .T The Bibliographer in the Academic Library .A Haro, Robert P. .W Academic libraries, in their quest to secure and make available library materials necessary to support instructional and research programs, are finding it necessary to rely upon librarians functioning as book selectors.. The term bibliographer (frequently applied to these selectors) is gradually taken on new meaning in library service.. The role of the bibliographer is changing to include (besides book selection) new duties and responsibilities such as advanced reference, research work, instruction, and liaison duties between teaching departments and the library.. In addition, academic library organization is gradually being affected by the increasing use of bibliographers.. .X 3 1 985 268 4 985 284 1 985 303 3 985 843 1 985 985 5 985 1021 2 985 1021 2 985 .I 986 .T MEDLARS: A Summary Review and Evaluation of Three Reports .A Stevens, N.D. .W The MEDLARS (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) system at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) has over the past few years been one of the most significant and one of the most publicized automated bibliographic information retrieval systems. Over two hundred articles on it have appeared in American newspapers and popular magazines, in specialized medical journals throughout the world, and in a variety of library journals. The publicity that has attended this project has, in a way, been unfortunate, for it has presented an exaggerated picture of the system and its accomplishments which has only made the sceptics more skeptical; and it has obscured in part the examination of MEDLARS' real accomplishments. There has to date been very little careful outside analysis and evaluation of MEDLARS. Over 50 percent of all the articles listed in the bibliography in Austin's report, and virtually all the substantive ones, represent the work of persons closely connected with NLM or the development of the MEDLARS system. Their judgement on the effectiveness of the system and its overall value cannot help but be colored by this connection. .X 38 1 986 84 1 986 119 1 986 147 1 986 210 1 986 213 1 986 214 2 986 218 1 986 241 1 986 250 1 986 340 1 986 348 1 986 355 1 986 375 1 986 381 1 986 382 1 986 408 1 986 488 1 986 489 1 986 490 1 986 491 2 986 492 1 986 493 1 986 494 1 986 495 1 986 496 1 986 497 1 986 499 1 986 500 1 986 506 1 986 581 1 986 583 1 986 584 1 986 586 2 986 591 1 986 603 1 986 608 1 986 610 1 986 659 1 986 676 1 986 696 1 986 763 1 986 788 1 986 795 1 986 801 1 986 855 1 986 916 1 986 986 6 986 1012 2 986 1050 1 986 1084 1 986 1188 1 986 1254 1 986 1291 1 986 1294 1 986 1379 1 986 1404 1 986 1404 1 986 .I 987 .T CIP in Mid-1970 .A Clapp, Verner W. .W The history of the near-success of the 1958-59 experiment with cataloging in source and the subsequent refusal of the library community to accept its failure are punctuated by data from a recent survey of 591 libraries in IS categories regarding attitudes toward prepublication cataloging.. .X 63 1 987 91 1 987 175 1 987 348 1 987 389 1 987 390 1 987 429 1 987 487 1 987 502 1 987 513 1 987 579 1 987 582 1 987 588 1 987 589 1 987 596 1 987 600 1 987 601 1 987 603 1 987 613 1 987 614 1 987 618 1 987 657 1 987 685 1 987 686 1 987 691 1 987 721 1 987 722 1 987 724 1 987 725 1 987 799 1 987 805 1 987 807 1 987 863 1 987 864 1 987 930 1 987 956 1 987 958 1 987 963 1 987 987 5 987 988 5 987 989 1 987 1000 1 987 1152 1 987 1208 1 987 1265 1 987 1293 1 987 1294 1 987 1302 1 987 1327 1 987 1434 1 987 1434 1 987 .I 988 .T Report on Library of Congress Plans for Cataloging in Publication .A Welsh, W.J. .W When we were asked in October 1969 for an expression of attitude about a renewal of cataloging-in-source, our response was positive.

It is design to make readily feasible the conversion completely or in part to a computer-based operation and to tie in directly to an information retrieval system in the future.. The four elements of this documentation and control system are:standard catalogue entries, data abstract and data description forms, content documentation codebooks, and records of physical and logical characteristics of the data set.. .X 130 1 993 333 1 993 357 2 993 449 1 993 530 1 993 553 1 993 628 1 993 710 1 993 802 1 993 819 1 993 874 1 993 877 1 993 878 1 993 940 1 993 941 1 993 992 1 993 993 6 993 995 1 993 1079 1 993 1216 1 993 1421 1 993 1434 1 993 1435 1 993 1436 1 993 1436 1 993 .I 994 .T Measuring Reader Failure at the Catalogue .A Seymour, Carol A. .A Schofield, J. L. .W In an effort to develop a simple method for librarians to employ to measure and evaluate author catalogue use, the Library Management Research Unit tested a survey design in four varying libraries.. The reader was asked to note details of items not found in the catalogue, the source of the reference, and his status.. The items were then checked by library staff to discover the cause of "failure".. Library staff interviewed samples of catalogue users to determine the overall rate of "failure", the cooperation (with "Catalogue Query Slips") rate, and the action readers proposed to take in order to obtain the item(s) not found in the catalogue.. .X 9 1 994 141 2 994 207 1 994 222 1 994 223 1 994 244 1 994 296 1 994 297 1 994 298 1 994 299 2 994 300 1 994 301 1 994 302 1 994 333 1 994 358 1 994 364 1 994 365 1 994 502 1 994 515 1 994 522 1 994 529 1 994 530 1 994 535 1 994 625 1 994 627 1 994 628 1 994 629 1 994 630 1 994 631 1 994 634 1 994 791 1 994 811 3 994 816 2 994 818 1 994 822 1 994 823 1 994 842 1 994 843 1 994 844 1 994 846 1 994 854 1 994 871 1 994 872 1 994 873 2 994 874 2 994 875 2 994 876 2 994 877 1 994 878 1 994 879 1 994 880 1 994 892 2 994 915 1 994 940 1 994 941 2 994 961 1 994 962 1 994 963 1 994 964 1 994 990 1 994 994 5 994 995 1 994 996 1 994 997 2 994 998 2 994 1015 1 994 1079 2 994 1143 1 994 1153 1 994 1189 1 994 1230 1 994 1242 1 994 1247 1 994 1251 1 994 1257 1 994 1268 1 994 1303 1 994 1351 1 994 1354 1 994 1396 2 994 1420 1 994 1434 1 994 1435 2 994 1436 1 994 1442 1 994 1442 1 994 .I 995 .T "Early Warning" Generic Medium Designations in Multimedia Catalogues .A Lewis, Peter R. .W The much-favored "early warning" generic medium designation is discriminatory, functionally inefficient, and out of line with the national and international acceptance of AACR.. A specific designation, placed with the collation, is preferable on all these grounds; and there are better ways of giving an "early warning".. .X 141 1 995 299 2 995 333 3 995 449 1 995 522 1 995 530 2 995 553 1 995 627 2 995 628 3 995 802 1 995 819 1 995 873 1 995 874 3 995 875 2 995 876 1 995 877 1 995 878 1 995 892 2 995 940 1 995 941 3 995 992 1 995 993 1 995 994 1 995 995 5 995 996 1 995 997 1 995 998 1 995 1079 3 995 1152 1 995 1153 2 995 1189 1 995 1216 1 995 1251 1 995 1351 2 995 1396 1 995 1420 2 995 1421 1 995 1434 3 995 1435 3 995 1436 1 995 1442 2 995 1442 2 995 .I 996 .T International Developments in Cataloging .A Anderson, Dorothy .W The IFLA Committee on Cataloging has been at work since 1954 to establish international standards for cataloging and bibliographic records; it was responsible for the International Conference on Cataloging Principles, Paris, 1961, and and the International Meeting of Cataloging Experts, Copenhagen, 1969.. In recent years there have been increasing demands from national cataloging bodies and bibliographic agencies for uniformity in codes and practices, and in consequence there has been more willingness to make national concessions in order to reach international standards.. The IFLA Cataloging Secretariat was established in 1971 to assist this trend by co-ordinating work, promoting new projects and acting as a liaison center.. .X 141 1 996 299 1 996 333 1 996 361 1 996 522 1 996 530 1 996 627 1 996 628 1 996 872 1 996 873 1 996 874 1 996 875 1 996 876 1 996 892 1 996 939 1 996 940 2 996 941 3 996 950 1 996 978 1 996 994 1 996 995 1 996 996 6 996 997 1 996 998 1 996 1079 1 996 1080 1 996 1153 1 996 1189 1 996 1251 1 996 1351 1 996 1396 1 996 1420 1 996 1434 1 996 1435 2 996 1436 1 996 1441 1 996 1442 1 996 1442 1 996 .I 997 .T The Ohio College Library Center .A Hopkins, Judith .W The Ohio College Library Center is a regional library network.. Its on-line shared cataloging system has been operational since 18 October 1971,and utilizes cathode ray tube terminals located in the center's fifty-three member libraries.. These terminals are connected to the Sigma 5 computer in Columbus by a multiple line, multiple party synchronous transmission telephone network.. Between January and June 1972 the system operated at an annual rate of 500,000 works cataloged and over 3,400,000 catalog cards produced .. These cards are individualized to fit the requirements of each member and are produced in packs designated for particular catalogs.. .X 79 1 997 92 2 997 141 2 997 178 1 997 235 1 997 244 1 997 246 2 997 247 1 997 299 2 997 326 1 997 333 2 997 361 1 997 365 1 997 382 1 997 522 1 997 529 1 997 530 1 997 608 1 997 627 1 997 628 1 997 630 1 997 822 1 997 825 2 997 854 1 997 871 1 997 872 2 997 873 2 997 874 2 997 875 2 997 876 2 997 877 1 997 878 1 997 879 1 997 880 1 997 883 1 997 892 2 997 930 1 997 940 1 997 941 3 997 950 2 997 966 1 997 974 1 997 978 1 997 988 1 997 990 1 997 991 1 997 994 2 997 995 1 997 996 1 997 997 10 997 998 2 997 1000 1 997 1071 1 997 1079 3 997 1143 1 997 1153 2 997 1189 1 997 1216 3 997 1230 1 997 1251 1 997 1252 1 997 1257 1 997 1266 2 997 1303 1 997 1351 1 997 1371 1 997 1395 2 997 1396 2 997 1420 1 997 1421 1 997 1434 1 997 1435 2 997 1436 1 997 1441 1 997 1442 1 997 1442 1 997 .I 998 .T The Other Half of Cataloging .A Ohmes, Frances .A Jones, J. F. .W The authors investigate the impact of a bibliographic retrieval/card production system, such as the Ohio College Library Center (OCLC), with special attention to its role in cataloging.. Activities required at the local level to make the LC card a functioning component of the catalog are described.. The characteristics of the ensuring workload are examined, along with methods of accomplishing it.. These activities are seen as a factor in the persistence of backlogs.. The design of OCLC, because of the immobility of the terminal and the absence of the catalog from the data base, by-passes this workload, leaving the local library to accomplish it by the method of its choice, as before, or to leave it undone.. .X 141 2 998 244 1 998 299 2 998 333 1 998 354 1 998 365 1 998 522 1 998 529 1 998 530 1 998 627 1 998 628 1 998 630 1 998 822 1 998 854 1 998 871 1 998 872 1 998 873 2 998 874 3 998 875 2 998 876 2 998 877 1 998 878 1 998 879 1 998 880 1 998 882 1 998 884 1 998 886 1 998 887 1 998 892 3 998 940 1 998 941 2 998 990 1 998 994 2 998 995 1 998 996 1 998 997 2 998 998 6 998 1079 2 998 1143 1 998 1153 1 998 1189 1 998 1230 1 998 1251 1 998 1257 1 998 1303 1 998 1351 1 998 1395 1 998 1396 2 998 1420 1 998 1434 1 998 1435 2 998 1436 1 998 1442 1 998 1442 1 998 .I 999 .T The Impact of International Standardization on the Rules of Entry for Serials .A Cannan, Judith Proctor .W The major provisions of the International Serials Data Systems and the International Standard Bibliographic Description for Serials are presented and related to present rules of entry for serials as detailed in the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules.. .X 141 1 999 333 1 999 363 1 999 409 1 999 541 3 999 645 1 999 647 1 999 651 1 999 739 1 999 877 1 999 878 1 999 881 2 999 882 3 999 883 1 999 884 1 999 885 1 999 886 1 999 887 1 999 888 1 999 904 5 999 917 1 999 919 1 999 920 2 999 921 1 999 999 6 999 1000 5 999 1001 6 999 1002 6 999 1003 6 999 1004 2 999 1013 1 999 1060 1 999 1375 1 999 1376 1 999 1437 1 999 1437 1 999 .I 1000 .T Serial Cataloging Problems: Rules of Entry and Definition of Title .A Simonton, Wesley .W Alternatives to the present rule for entry of serials in the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR) are identified and arguments relating to the concept of authorship for serials are summarized..

The second (A Metropolitan Library in Action, completed in 1939) proposed quality, the achieving of recognized standards.

In fact, the literature of this subject has itself spawned a fair-sized literature of review. Admittedly, the task is formidable. As compared with other library activities such as circulation, acquisitions, and cataloging, reference service is ill-defined, with little agreement on its component parts. Is inter-library lending an integral part of reference work because many reference librarians are responsible for it? Formal instruction in the use of books and libraries? The supervision of reference reading rooms? The preparation of indexes? And having decided what the genus "reference librarian" does, how can one readily determine the effectiveness of his work or its impact? Reference librarians may have acted rather blindly in approaching their elephant of a problem, but it is undeniably a big one. .X 274 1 1008 298 1 1008 303 1 1008 353 1 1008 364 1 1008 470 2 1008 1008 7 1008 1017 2 1008 1049 2 1008 1247 1 1008 1263 1 1008 1353 1 1008 1357 1 1008 1357 1 1008 .I 1009 .T Service to Industry and Research Parks by College and University Libraries .A Nicholson, N.N. .W The phrase "research parks" in the title of this article recalls Eugene B.

The concept of a national network implies the interconnection of existing information systems and libraries through communications. Certainly one of the great strengths of this nation is the great array of intellectual, scholarly, and research resources to be found in its libraries and information centers. Without integration and close cooperation, however, these resources will remain a series of separate, insulated institutions. But if maximum communication can be established among them, this array can be converted into a national resource of immense value to citizens throughout the country. .X 24 2 1011 74 1 1011 75 2 1011 78 1 1011 80 1 1011 119 4 1011 122 3 1011 177 1 1011 178 1 1011 206 1 1011 281 1 1011 336 3 1011 431 1 1011 481 1 1011 654 1 1011 684 1 1011 773 1 1011 850 1 1011 851 1 1011 852 1 1011 853 1 1011 854 1 1011 855 3 1011 856 1 1011 872 1 1011 903 1 1011 907 1 1011 908 1 1011 955 2 1011 984 1 1011 1011 11 1011 1013 1 1011 1080 2 1011 1247 1 1011 1451 1 1011 1451 1 1011 .I 1012 .T Standardization Requirements of a National Program for Information Transfer .A Wigington, R.L.

As a final paper, this solution for the storage of library materials will be discussed.

Recent theories in management and social psychology have addressed themselves to the implications of participative management and group decision-making, and their findings appear to have important applications to libraries, not the least of which is personnel development. .X 9 1 1015 207 1 1015 222 1 1015 223 1 1015 270 1 1015 285 4 1015 289 1 1015 293 1 1015 296 3 1015 297 1 1015 298 2 1015 300 1 1015 301 5 1015 302 2 1015 304 1 1015 358 1 1015 364 1 1015 418 1 1015 515 1 1015 535 1 1015 625 1 1015 629 1 1015 631 1 1015 634 1 1015 791 1 1015 811 1 1015 816 1 1015 818 1 1015 823 1 1015 843 1 1015 844 1 1015 846 1 1015 915 1 1015 925 1 1015 961 1 1015 962 1 1015 964 1 1015 994 1 1015 1015 10 1015 1065 1 1015 1069 1 1015 1070 1 1015 1150 2 1015 1214 1 1015 1233 1 1015 1242 1 1015 1247 1 1015 1268 1 1015 1354 1 1015 1454 3 1015 1454 3 1015 .I 1016 .T Numerical Methods of Bibliographic Analysis .A Brookes, B.C. .W It is only in the last eight or ten years that the numerical aspects of bibliography have attracted attention, although some of the numerical regularities that occur in bibliography have been known for thirty or forty years. Results are, therefore, still meager and applications are still few. Moreover, most of the work so far reported has been limited to numerical analysis of the literature of the natural sciences. This is in part because the secondary sources in the natural sciences are the best organized and so provide the most accessible data; in part because the literature of the natural sciences are the least restricted by linguistic barriers; and in part because the proposed world- wide systems, such as those advocated in the UNISIST report, offer an immediate field of application in the design of economic and efficient systems based on the results of numerical bibliographic analysis. However, the field of possible application is gradually widening: serious efforts are now being made to organize the more diffused literatures of the social sciences, for example. .X 19 1 1016 29 1 1016 33 1 1016 35 1 1016 36 1 1016 37 1 1016 39 1 1016 40 1 1016 41 1 1016 42 1 1016 43 1 1016 47 1 1016 55 1 1016 58 1 1016 70 1 1016 84 1 1016 88 1 1016 89 1 1016 97 2 1016 102 2 1016 103 1 1016 111 1 1016 112 1 1016 163 1 1016 183 1 1016 184 1 1016 193 1 1016 199 1 1016 203 1 1016 210 1 1016 225 1 1016 233 1 1016 253 1 1016 269 1 1016 313 1 1016 359 5 1016 373 1 1016 377 1 1016 378 1 1016 379 1 1016 395 1 1016 444 1 1016 445 1 1016 447 1 1016 449 1 1016 474 1 1016 486 1 1016 487 1 1016 505 2 1016 515 1 1016 532 1 1016 545 1 1016 552 1 1016 560 1 1016 573 4 1016 587 1 1016 605 1 1016 613 1 1016 614 1 1016 616 1 1016 618 2 1016 625 1 1016 632 1 1016 635 2 1016 638 1 1016 660 1 1016 667 1 1016 735 1 1016 744 1 1016 747 1 1016 748 3 1016 749 1 1016 750 1 1016 751 3 1016 753 1 1016 759 1 1016 762 1 1016 764 2 1016 765 3 1016 766 1 1016 767 1 1016 775 1 1016 777 1 1016 778 4 1016 782 2 1016 784 1 1016 787 1 1016 788 1 1016 789 1 1016 793 1 1016 800 1 1016 804 1 1016 805 1 1016 808 1 1016 885 1 1016 893 2 1016 905 1 1016 952 1 1016 953 1 1016 977 1 1016 983 1 1016 1016 9 1016 1023 1 1016 1030 2 1016 1045 1 1016 1055 1 1016 1061 1 1016 1083 1 1016 1084 3 1016 1085 4 1016 1086 2 1016 1087 2 1016 1090 2 1016 1135 1 1016 1182 2 1016 1195 1 1016 1200 1 1016 1201 2 1016 1235 1 1016 1260 1 1016 1274 2 1016 1275 1 1016 1276 1 1016 1277 1 1016 1278 2 1016 1280 2 1016 1281 1 1016 1285 3 1016 1286 1 1016 1287 2 1016 1301 1 1016 1302 3 1016 1304 1 1016 1313 1 1016 1335 1 1016 1338 1 1016 1344 1 1016 1347 1 1016 1380 1 1016 1390 1 1016 1397 1 1016 1417 1 1016 1428 2 1016 1432 1 1016 1444 1 1016 1444 1 1016 .I 1017 .T Evaluation of Adult Reference Service .A Weech, T.L. .W The evaluation of reference service has received considerable attention in the literature over a comparatively long period. But, as Samuel Rothstein pointed out in his 1964 Library Trends article on the measurement and evaluation of reference service, much of the literature has focused on discussing the lack of evaluation or the shortcomings of the evaluation that has taken place. In the ten years since Rothstein wrote his article, there does seem to be more effort at evaluation of reference service. Undoubtedly, many of the trends in recent evaluation are due to the influence of Rothstein's article. .X 10 1 1017 190 1 1017 225 1 1017 234 1 1017 244 1 1017 248 1 1017 274 2 1017 304 2 1017 305 1 1017 306 2 1017 338 1 1017 358 1 1017 385 1 1017 394 1 1017 433 1 1017 459 1 1017 534 1 1017 646 1 1017 647 1 1017 651 1 1017 702 1 1017 731 1 1017 732 1 1017 817 1 1017 820 1 1017 823 1 1017 825 1 1017 826 1 1017 827 1 1017 828 1 1017 910 1 1017 927 1 1017 942 1 1017 943 1 1017 944 1 1017 947 1 1017 948 2 1017 1008 2 1017 1017 8 1017 1049 3 1017 1058 1 1017 1145 1 1017 1146 1 1017 1206 1 1017 1230 1 1017 1237 1 1017 1257 1 1017 1263 1 1017 1357 2 1017 1378 1 1017 1390 1 1017 1440 1 1017 1450 1 1017 1453 1 1017 1453 1 1017 .I 1018 .T The Library's Public; a report of the public library inquiry .A Berelson, B. .W The following report on use of the public library is the product of two separate studies made for the Public Library Inquiry. One was the national sample survey of library use made for the Inquiry by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan. Personal interviews of a half-hour or more in length were held with 1,151 people selected at random in different counties scattered over the United States. The sample was designed so as to represent all adult persons living in private households. By this tested method the survey gathered information concerning the amount and the kind of use people make of the public library and what changes or extension of library service people in general would prefer. The survey also gathered information on the use of books obtained from sources other than the public library, as well as the extent of regular use of newspapers, radio, magazines, and movies. .X 31 1 1018 36 1 1018 41 1 1018 46 1 1018 181 1 1018 182 1 1018 183 1 1018 184 1 1018 193 1 1018 195 1 1018 198 1 1018 201 1 1018 208 1 1018 239 1 1018 269 1 1018 358 2 1018 385 1 1018 395 1 1018 415 1 1018 470 1 1018 760 1 1018 767 1 1018 774 1 1018 778 1 1018 891 1 1018 905 1 1018 925 1 1018 946 2 1018 952 1 1018 953 1 1018 957 1 1018 959 1 1018 962 1 1018 964 1 1018 968 1 1018 1005 4 1018 1009 1 1018 1018 9 1018 1019 1 1018 1032 2 1018 1056 2 1018 1145 1 1018 1149 1 1018 1203 1 1018 1227 1 1018 1240 2 1018 1333 1 1018 1359 1 1018 1380 1 1018 1384 1 1018 1397 1 1018 1417 1 1018 1417 1 1018 .I 1019 .T Determining the Optimal Number of Volumes for a Library's Core Collection .A Trueswell, R.W. .W The concept of the core collection in a large library is not new. The thought behind such a concept is to provide a separation of the more frequently used volumes from those that are infrequently used. There have been, however, difficulties in determining what volumes are to be included within the core collection. It is usually necessary to establish a committee or group of professional people who determine, usually by enumeration, those volumes that should be included in the core collection. Often the results of such a determination merely reflect the opinions of the individuals, and although valid in many cases as desirable reading, the core collection that results may not be a reflection of user requirements. .X 14 1 1019 31 2 1019 33 1 1019 36 1 1019 41 1 1019 46 4 1019 123 1 1019 131 1 1019 153 1 1019 170 1 1019 181 1 1019 182 1 1019 183 1 1019 184 1 1019 193 1 1019 195 1 1019 198 1 1019 201 2 1019 223 1 1019 266 1 1019 267 2 1019 269 2 1019 271 1 1019 280 2 1019 290 1 1019 359 1 1019 373 1 1019 379 1 1019 395 1 1019 415 1 1019 475 1 1019 550 1 1019 614 1 1019 634 1 1019 638 1 1019 651 1 1019 748 2 1019 751 1 1019 760 1 1019 765 1 1019 767 1 1019 774 1 1019 778 2 1019 786 1 1019 791 2 1019 793 1 1019 800 1 1019 804 1 1019 811 1 1019 891 1 1019 905 1 1019 925 3 1019 948 1 1019 952 1 1019 953 1 1019 964 1 1019 968 1 1019 983 1 1019 1009 1 1019 1018 1 1019 1019 9 1019 1028 1 1019 1037 1 1019 1086 1 1019 1090 1 1019 1173 1 1019 1203 1 1019 1240 1 1019 1359 1 1019 1397 1 1019 1400 1 1019 1416 2 1019 1417 3 1019 1424 1 1019 1424 1 1019 .I 1020 .T IFLA - Communications - FIAB .A Humphreys, K. .W The traditional pattern of organization of national and university libraries, apart from those in Germany or affected by German practice, was imposed by the weight given to the processing divisions.. The order department, which in university libraries did not include experts in book-selection, was not considered to be of comparable importance with the major department -- the cataloguing room, which also housed the classifiers.. Other divisions would be concerned with particular types of material -- maps, state papers or official documents, manuscripts, oriental books -- and would be largely autonomous with regard to acquisition and cataloguing.. The reading room staff were mainly employed in assisting readers to use the catalogue and in answering queries of a very specialized nature on the library's collections, especially on manuscripts or early printed books: they rarely dealt with the general bibliographical or reference type of enquiry which is put to present-day reference librarians.. In these circumstances members of staff tended to become expert in the work of their own department and not be invited to take any part in the activities of another.. Divisions between the various kinds of work were therefore hard and fast and the structure of the library's organization could become similarly rigid.. It must be appreciated that this is a generalization and that many libraries were more fluid in their approach. Nonetheless this conservative view of the library's function tended to freeze the administration into this form.. An expert in a particular subject field often undertook research in the subject outside the library and might occasionally be asked to deal with a reader enquiring about an aspect of his field, but usually he would not make much use of his expertise in connection with his library duties, unless of course he was appointed as a paleographer, orientalist or linguist. The appointment of subject specialists may therefore necessitate a complete re-modelling of the staff organization if their influence is to extend beyond the bounds of the old departments. .X 11 1 1020 143 1 1020 268 1 1020 305 1 1020 818 1 1020 843 2 1020 844 1 1020 845 1 1020 961 1 1020 1020 5 1020 1021 1 1020 1058 1 1020 1233 1 1020 1253 1 1020 1401 1 1020 1401 1 1020 .I 1021 .T The Subject Specialist in National and University Libraries, with Special Reference to Book Selection .A Danton, J.P. .W Of the world's numerous kinds of libraries, the national and the university may properly be characterized as having responsibilities for both general and universal or nearly universal collecting in the realm of scholarship. That is, these two, and only these two, commonly collect over a very broad spectrum, and in depth, material which makes possible the creation of new knowledge. Herein lies the paramount importance of these libraries to society if it be granted, as it is here assumed, that almost no field of human endeavor can advance without resort to the recorded past. It is this twin aspect of the activity of these scholarly libraries - collecting simultaneously in breadth and in depth - which produces most of their major problems. The concern of this paper is with two of these problems which seem by far the most important and difficult: the selection of materials and the utilization of subject specialists. .X 11 1 1021 143 1 1021 268 4 1021 303 1 1021 305 1 1021 843 1 1021 923 1 1021 943 1 1021 985 2 1021 1020 1 1021 1021 8 1021 1023 1 1021 1058 1 1021 1450 1 1021 1450 1 1021 .I 1022 .T Information Science in Librarianship .A Hayes, R.M. .W These information systems create a real challenge for librarianship, since on the surface it would seem that librarians can have a central role in their development, their operation, and their management.

Production of monographs and journals, research reports and government documents has been increasing exponentially to the point that British university librarians are beginning to feel the sense of constriction of space which their American counterparts have been struggling with for a number of years (judging by the amount of print devoted to the subject in American library journals). The force of this sense of constriction has been somewhat mitigated in all but the copyright libraries by the general lack of funds available for book purchasing, and by the increasing price of books. However, when space in the library does become filled, obviously something must be done to create more space, because the flow of material is certainly not going to cease. .X 5 2 1023 33 1 1023 36 1 1023 41 1 1023 46 1 1023 89 1 1023 90 1 1023 91 1 1023 97 1 1023 102 1 1023 111 1 1023 112 1 1023 115 1 1023 158 1 1023 163 1 1023 183 1 1023 184 1 1023 193 1 1023 199 1 1023 203 1 1023 210 1 1023 222 1 1023 223 1 1023 225 1 1023 234 1 1023 245 1 1023 269 1 1023 290 1 1023 364 1 1023 365 1 1023 368 1 1023 373 1 1023 435 1 1023 545 1 1023 552 1 1023 587 1 1023 605 1 1023 613 1 1023 614 1 1023 615 1 1023 638 1 1023 735 1 1023 747 1 1023 750 1 1023 753 1 1023 764 1 1023 766 1 1023 767 1 1023 775 1 1023 782 1 1023 784 1 1023 788 1 1023 789 1 1023 793 1 1023 800 1 1023 808 1 1023 811 1 1023 815 1 1023 816 1 1023 818 1 1023 823 1 1023 842 1 1023 905 1 1023 925 1 1023 943 2 1023 944 1 1023 948 1 1023 953 1 1023 957 1 1023 977 1 1023 983 1 1023 1016 1 1023 1021 1 1023 1023 6 1023 1030 1 1023 1055 1 1023 1087 1 1023 1090 1 1023 1135 1 1023 1203 1 1023 1219 1 1023 1227 1 1023 1257 1 1023 1260 1 1023 1275 1 1023 1276 1 1023 1278 1 1023 1280 1 1023 1285 1 1023 1286 1 1023 1287 1 1023 1302 1 1023 1335 1 1023 1365 1 1023 1390 2 1023 1397 1 1023 1417 1 1023 1428 1 1023 1432 1 1023 1450 1 1023 1450 1 1023 .I 1024 .T PRECIS in a Multilingual Context .A Austin, D. .W The present paper is offered as the first of a series of articles in which PRECIS will be reviewed as a potential multi-lingual system, having in mind the obvious need, notably in a European context, for standard and language- independent methods of subject analysis and document description.

Later papers will then review the application of this model to indexing in, firstly, the Germanic languages (e.g. German and Danish), and, secondly, the Romance languages, illustrated by French. .X 1 1 1024 86 1 1024 92 1 1024 168 1 1024 194 1 1024 458 1 1024 480 1 1024 556 1 1024 781 1 1024 817 1 1024 819 1 1024 825 2 1024 1004 1 1024 1024 6 1024 1027 1 1024 1054 1 1024 1215 5 1024 1231 1 1024 1443 1 1024 1443 1 1024 .I 1025 .T Limits Growth .A Meadows, D.H. .W In April 1968, a group of thirty individuals from ten countries - scientists, educators, economists, humanists, industrialists, and national and international civil servants - gathered in the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome. They met at the instigation of Dr. Aurelio Peccei, an Italian industrial manager, economist, and man of vision, to discuss a subject of staggering scope - the present and future predicament of man. A series of early meetings of The Club of Rome culminated in the decision to initiate a remarkably ambitious undertaking - the Project on the Predicament of Mankind. The intent of the project is to examine the complex of problems troubling men of all nations: poverty in the midst of plenty; degradation of the environment; loss of faith in institutions; uncontrolled urban spread; insecurity of employment; alienation of youth; rejection of traditional values; and inflation and other monetary and economic disruptions. .X 175 1 1025 227 1 1025 401 1 1025 1025 8 1025 1386 1 1025 1456 1 1025 1456 1 1025 .I 1026 .T Line - Formula Chemical Notation .A Wiswesser, W.T. .W This manual is the culmination of a long search for a chemical notation that should consist of symbols limited to those on the standard typewriter keyboard.

It is concerned with the linguistic aspects of information science, and in particular with the linguistic components of document analysis, description, and retrieval. We have attempted to relate linguistics and information science by considering the theories and techniques linguistics has to offer, and how far these have been, or could be, exploited by information scientists. We have examined these questions within the context of automated language processing and automated documentation. The use of computers for linguistic operations presents special challenges as well as interesting possibilities, and we have chosen to approach the field from this particular point of view. .X 168 1 1027 583 1 1027 819 1 1027 1024 1 1027 1027 5 1027 1215 1 1027 1231 1 1027 1443 1 1027 1443 1 1027 .I 1028 .T A List of Books for College Libraries .A Shaw, C.B. .W To permit a qualitative estimate of a college library's resources, the Advisory Group on College Libraries of the Carnegie Corporation authorized the compilation of a list of not less that 8,000 nor more than 15,000 titles which might be regarded as a statement of the minimum or basic book collection of a four-year liberal arts college. The procedure on which the Advisory Group decided included (1) the selection of a librarian under whose direction the compilation should be made, (2) the checking and improvement of the original lists drawn up by this compiler by such a homogeneous group as the faculty of a single college, and (3) the submission of these revised recommendations to an able group of widely scattered college teachers for further revision. .X 7 1 1028 14 1 1028 153 1 1028 170 1 1028 223 1 1028 240 1 1028 262 1 1028 266 1 1028 271 1 1028 405 1 1028 550 1 1028 926 1 1028 927 1 1028 1019 1 1028 1028 5 1028 1086 1 1028 1090 1 1028 1211 1 1028 1212 1 1028 1266 1 1028 1424 2 1028 1424 2 1028 .I 1029 .T A Little Commonwealth Family Life in Plymouth Colony .A Demos, J. .W The kind of study presented in this monograph has not as yet won a wide following among working historians. On the whole their interest has remained with the larger units of social action: the region, the class, the party, the ethnic or religious group. It has been left to the so-called behavioral sciences - anthropology, sociology, psychology - to demonstrate the fundamental importance of the smallest and most intimate of all group environments, the family. .X 351 2 1029 1029 5 1029 1029 5 1029 .I 1030 .T Little Science, Big Science .A De Solla Price, D.J. .W Pegram lecturers are supposed to talk about science and its place in society. The ordinary way of doing this would be either to talk popular science or to adopt one of the various styles in humanistic discussion of the reactions between men and science. Previous lecturers in this series have given accounts of the content of space science and made excursions into the philosophy and the history of science. Although professionally my concern is with the history of science, I have a certain prehistoric past as a physicist, and this has led me to treat these lectures in what is, perhaps, an extraordinary way. My goal is not discussion of the content of science or even a humanistic analysis of its relations. Rather, I want to clarify these more usual approaches by treating separately all the scientific analyses that may be made of science. Why should we not turn the tools of science on science itself? Why not measure and generalize, make hypotheses, and derive conclusions? .X 14 1 1030 29 1 1030 33 2 1030 35 1 1030 36 1 1030 37 1 1030 40 1 1030 41 1 1030 42 1 1030 43 1 1030 46 1 1030 58 1 1030 63 1 1030 70 1 1030 84 1 1030 89 2 1030 95 1 1030 96 1 1030 97 2 1030 102 1 1030 105 4 1030 110 2 1030 111 2 1030 112 1 1030 113 1 1030 123 1 1030 132 1 1030 137 1 1030 155 1 1030 157 1 1030 161 1 1030 163 2 1030 172 1 1030 183 1 1030 184 1 1030 193 1 1030 199 1 1030 203 1 1030 210 1 1030 211 1 1030 214 1 1030 216 1 1030 217 1 1030 218 1 1030 220 1 1030 225 1 1030 233 1 1030 237 1 1030 243 1 1030 269 1 1030 272 1 1030 280 1 1030 312 1 1030 314 1 1030 356 2 1030 359 1 1030 367 1 1030 373 1 1030 379 1 1030 439 2 1030 440 1 1030 444 1 1030 445 1 1030 447 1 1030 449 1 1030 456 1 1030 474 1 1030 486 1 1030 513 1 1030 532 1 1030 544 1 1030 545 2 1030 552 1 1030 560 2 1030 582 2 1030 587 1 1030 592 2 1030 602 1 1030 605 1 1030 607 1 1030 613 1 1030 614 1 1030 618 1 1030 625 1 1030 638 1 1030 656 1 1030 660 1 1030 667 1 1030 685 1 1030 722 1 1030 735 1 1030 747 1 1030 748 1 1030 750 1 1030 753 1 1030 759 1 1030 762 1 1030 764 1 1030 765 1 1030 766 1 1030 767 3 1030 770 1 1030 772 1 1030 775 1 1030 776 1 1030 782 1 1030 784 1 1030 786 1 1030 788 1 1030 789 1 1030 791 3 1030 793 1 1030 800 1 1030 808 1 1030 891 1 1030 893 3 1030 905 1 1030 952 1 1030 953 1 1030 977 2 1030 983 2 1030 1016 2 1030 1023 1 1030 1030 29 1030 1045 2 1030 1050 1 1030 1055 1 1030 1062 2 1030 1063 2 1030 1081 1 1030 1082 1 1030 1083 1 1030 1084 1 1030 1085 1 1030 1086 1 1030 1087 3 1030 1088 1 1030 1090 1 1030 1135 1 1030 1147 1 1030 1195 1 1030 1201 1 1030 1203 1 1030 1209 2 1030 1235 2 1030 1256 1 1030 1260 1 1030 1275 3 1030 1276 1 1030 1278 1 1030 1280 2 1030 1281 1 1030 1284 2 1030 1285 5 1030 1286 1 1030 1287 1 1030 1289 1 1030 1290 2 1030 1291 1 1030 1293 3 1030 1294 1 1030 1295 1 1030 1296 3 1030 1297 1 1030 1298 1 1030 1302 2 1030 1317 1 1030 1319 1 1030 1329 1 1030 1330 1 1030 1335 1 1030 1346 2 1030 1347 1 1030 1380 1 1030 1386 3 1030 1387 1 1030 1389 1 1030 1390 1 1030 1397 1 1030 1417 1 1030 1422 1 1030 1428 1 1030 1432 1 1030 1432 1 1030 .I 1031 .T The Logic of Comparative Social Inquiry .A Przeworski, A. .W The ideas presented in this book developed during the course of our participation in a comparative research project, the International Studies of Values in Politics, which was a study of the relationship between characteristics of local political leadership and the behavior of local governments in India, Poland, the United States, and Yugoslavia. Among the first problems we confronted were those of measurement. In the fall of 1965 the first pretest of value-scale items was under way. The goal of the pretest was to develop valid and reliable scales of values in four national samples. The second problem we had to face arose from the nees to obtain "comparable" measures of community "activeness" in four countries. .X 345 1 1031 438 1 1031 1031 6 1031 1328 1 1031 1386 1 1031 1386 1 1031 .I 1032 .T Londoner and His Library .A Groombridge, B. .W This report deals with a complementary theme: the public for which the public library service is provided. It does this in two ways - by giving information about the nature of that public, as it is at present made up, and by reporting what people say about public libraries, not only those who are members, but also those who used to belong and those who never have. Its closest relatives in British writing on this subject are, therefore, Mass Observation's now dated Reading in Tottenham (1947) and the Society of Young Publishers' Survey Books in London, 1959. It is more comprehensive in scope and more detailed in its analysis that the Tottenham survey, while it goes in some depth into issues that necessarily played only a small part in Books in London. .X 239 2 1032 358 1 1032 456 2 1032 470 1 1032 925 1 1032 946 1 1032 1005 1 1032 1018 2 1032 1032 7 1032 1056 3 1032 1145 1 1032 1227 1 1032 1238 1 1032 1240 1 1032 1380 1 1032 1380 1 1032 .I 1033 .T The Making of a Library .A Taylor, R.S. .W A book like this is a cumulation of experience, thought, error, and hopefully, learning of many years.

This aim was never realized, because it soon became evident that the social structure of the factory interlocked with, and often mirrored, that of the small isolated town in which it was situated. The wider study which then appeared necessary was not practicable and the enquiry petered out rather inconclusively, assuming its present significance only in the context of later studies. .X 15 1 1036 227 1 1036 312 1 1036 356 1 1036 436 1 1036 437 1 1036 561 1 1036 658 1 1036 1036 8 1036 1041 1 1036 1154 1 1036 1187 1 1036 1188 1 1036 1333 1 1036 1348 1 1036 1406 1 1036 1406 1 1036 .I 1037 .T Towards a Behavioral Theory of Communication .A Ackoff, R.L. .W This paper presents a conceptualization of information as related to the decision problems of the recipient. The orientation is toward a formal definition of behavioral elements in an individual's "purposeful state": specifically, these elements are his objectives, his valuation of each objective, his possible courses of action, the efficiency of each course of action in achieving each objective, and his probability of choice for each course of action. The amount of information in a purposeful state is explicitly defined in terms of the probabilities of choice of the available courses of action. The amount of information in a message is defined as the difference between the amount of information in the purposeful state following the message, and the amount of information in the purposeful state preceding the message. The amount of instruction in a purposeful state is defined in terms of the efficiencies of the available courses of action; and the amount of motivation is defined in terms of the values of the objectives. The amounts of instruction and motivation in a message are defined, just as information is, by comparing the amounts in a purposeful state before and after receipt of the message. The value of a purposeful state to an individual is defined as a function of the amount of information, the amount of instruction, and the amount of motivation in the state. This concept can be generalized to express the value of the state to some other individual. .X 85 2 1037 123 1 1037 131 1 1037 137 1 1037 355 1 1037 382 1 1037 457 1 1037 634 1 1037 716 1 1037 791 1 1037 804 1 1037 965 1 1037 1019 1 1037 1037 6 1037 1045 2 1037 1187 1 1037 1408 1 1037 1408 1 1037 .I 1038 .T Management Misinformation Systems .A Ackoff, R.L. .W Five assumptions commonly made by designers of management information systems are identified. It is argued that these are not justified in many (if not most) cases and hence lead to major deficiencies in the resulting systems. These assumptions are: (1) the critical deficiency under which most managers operate is the lack of relevant information, (2) the manager needs the information he wants, (3) if a manager has the information he needs his decision making will improve, (4) better communication between managers improves organizational performance, and (5) a manager does not have to understand how his information system works, only how to use it. To overcome these assumptions and the deficiencies which result from them, a management information system should be imbedded in a management control system. A procedure for designing such a system is proposed and an example is given of the type of control system which it produces. .X 29 1 1038 95 1 1038 120 1 1038 135 2 1038 137 1 1038 475 1 1038 537 1 1038 967 1 1038 1038 5 1038 1270 1 1038 1281 1 1038 1306 1 1038 1358 1 1038 1358 1 1038 .I 1039 .T Computational Analysis of Scoring Models for R and D Project Selection .A Moore, J.R. Baker, N.R. .W Several authors have proposed using scoring models for prescriptive analysis of the R and D project selection decision problem. This research indicates that these models do not meet with important practical requirements. For example, many authors recommend a multiplicative index, over an additive index, in order to generate a wide range of project scores. The additive index is shown to have important advantages over the multiplicative index. The most serious shortcoming in the models, however, is the relatively arbitrary fashion in which the models have been constructed and the failure of the model builders to recognize the impact of certain structural considerations on resulting project scores. Comparative analyses relating project rankings produced by scoring models to rankings produced by a profitability index and by a linear programming model demonstrate that the performance of the scoring model is highly sensitive to decisions made during the development of the model. Considerations such as (1) the underlying distributions of project data, (2) time preferences, (3) the number of ranking intervals or categories, and (4) the width of the intervals, all have important implications for final project scores and associated rankings. .X 423 4 1039 424 2 1039 425 4 1039 426 1 1039 427 2 1039 428 2 1039 436 1 1039 437 1 1039 561 2 1039 1039 6 1039 1040 4 1039 1449 1 1039 1449 1 1039 .I 1040 .T A Scoring Methodology for Assessing the Suitability of Management Science Models .A Souder, W.E. .W In this study, five major criteria (realism, flexibility, capability, case of use, and cost) for evaluating the suitability of management science models for R & D project selection are established, through personal interviews with R&D administrators and management scientists. A suitability rating system, based on these criteria, is used by the author to rate twenty-six management science models for their suitability of use in R&D project selection decision making. Profitability index and scoring types of models were found to have generally higher ease of use and lower cost performances than the other types. The linear and nonlinear models had generally higher flexibility, while the linear, nonlinear and zero-one models had generally higher realism than the other model types. .X 423 5 1040 424 2 1040 425 5 1040 426 1 1040 427 1 1040 428 4 1040 436 2 1040 437 1 1040 561 2 1040 1039 4 1040 1040 7 1040 1449 1 1040 1449 1 1040 .I 1041 .T The Managerial Grid .A Blake, R.R. .W The Managerial Grid method of designating various styles of leadership avoids these semantic traps. Even more, it shows how a leader can simultaneously maximize both the methods which are production-oriented and those which are people-oriented. Thus instead of putting a manager in a dilemma of choosing one or the other alternative, it illustrates that there are ways he can gain the benefits of both. It puts various methods of managing problems into a framework where the leader can identify, study and change his own behavior. Thus he is in a position to understand it better, to evaluate the results it produces, and to encourage its use by others. .X 293 1 1041 298 1 1041 304 1 1041 312 1 1041 356 1 1041 401 1 1041 418 1 1041 436 1 1041 437 1 1041 1036 1 1041 1041 6 1041 1069 1 1041 1154 2 1041 1187 1 1041 1188 1 1041 1233 1 1041 1333 1 1041 1406 1 1041 1455 1 1041 1455 1 1041 .I 1042 .T The Marc II Format: A Communications Format for Bibliographic Data .A Avram, H.D. .W The MARC (Machine-Readable-Cataloging) Pilot Project was an experiment to test the feasibility of distributing Library of Congress cataloging in machine-readable form to a variety of users. This project grew out of the conviction of many librarians that automation was becoming necessary if libraries were to keep up with the rising tide of new materials and the mounting demand for rapid information. Although there were other library procedures which stood to profit from mechanization, it was felt that devising a method of recording bibliographical information in machine-readable form was basic to the solution of other problems. .X 59 1 1042 63 1 1042 64 1 1042 175 2 1042 218 1 1042 243 1 1042 245 1 1042 253 1 1042 265 1 1042 355 1 1042 374 1 1042 375 1 1042 408 1 1042 481 1 1042 482 1 1042 492 1 1042 497 1 1042 506 1 1042 507 1 1042 508 1 1042 510 1 1042 548 1 1042 594 1 1042 601 1 1042 604 1 1042 607 1 1042 717 2 1042 718 1 1042 719 1 1042 781 1 1042 783 1 1042 834 1 1042 835 1 1042 848 1 1042 849 1 1042 850 1 1042 851 1 1042 852 1 1042 864 1 1042 866 1 1042 867 1 1042 873 1 1042 922 1 1042 925 1 1042 980 1 1042 981 1 1042 982 1 1042 1012 1 1042 1042 7 1042 1043 1 1042 1051 2 1042 1087 1 1042 1252 1 1042 1327 1 1042 1410 1 1042 1415 2 1042 1426 1 1042 1426 1 1042 .I 1043 .T The MARC Pilot Project: The Final Report .A Avram, H.D. .W The MARC project has progressed from a pilot to test the feasibility of a distribution service of centrally produced machine-readable cataloging data to a full-scale operational system in the design stages in two short years. The library community, both here and abroad, has accepted MARC and recognizes its potential for the future. The single most significant result of MARC has been the impetus to set standards. There is no doubt that eventually standards would have been designed for machine-readable bibliographic records, character sets, and codes for place and language. MARC accelerated standardization and still more important, the standards are being set and agreed to be a large segment of the library community. The cooperation among the producers and users of bibliographic description has been a rewarding experience. .X 159 1 1043 178 1 1043 249 2 1043 852 1 1043 854 1 1043 857 1 1043 858 1 1043 859 1 1043 861 1 1043 930 1 1043 970 1 1043 1012 1 1043 1042 1 1043 1043 5 1043 1252 3 1043 1393 1 1043 1393 1 1043 .I 1044 .T Mathematical Taxonomy .A Jardine, N. .W In this book we give a mathematical account of some of the methods of data simplification which are involved in or suggested by the practice of biological taxonomy. The computable methods derived are offered as potentially useful tools for taxonomists, rather than as substitutes for their activities. Superficially similar problems of data simplification arise in pattern recognition and in the various sciences which make substantial use of classificatory systems: biological taxonomy, ecology, psychology, linguistics, archaeology, sociology, etc. But more detailed examination shows that the kinds of classification used and the kinds of data on which they are based differ widely from science to science. Whilst we recognize that some of the methods described here, particularly in Part II of the book, are more widely applicable, we have deliberately limited discussion to biological taxonomy. The emphasis throughout is on the clarification of the mathematical properties of methods of automatic classification and of the conditions under which their application is valid, so that anyone who wishes to apply the methods in other fields shall be aware of their limitations, and of the lines along which they may profitably be developed and modified. .X 39 1 1044 175 7 1044 176 1 1044 327 1 1044 389 2 1044 390 2 1044 416 1 1044 422 2 1044 458 1 1044 498 1 1044 509 3 1044 560 1 1044 562 1 1044 564 1 1044 566 1 1044 570 1 1044 602 1 1044 618 1 1044 632 1 1044 643 1 1044 644 1 1044 660 1 1044 670 1 1044 699 1 1044 700 1 1044 708 1 1044 737 1 1044 752 1 1044 754 1 1044 785 1 1044 829 1 1044 1010 1 1044 1044 12 1044 1082 1 1044 1092 1 1044 1154 1 1044 1202 1 1044 1218 3 1044 1300 1 1044 1327 4 1044 1444 1 1044 1444 1 1044 .I 1045 .T The Mathematical Theory of Communication .A Shannon, C.E. .W The word communication will be used here in a very broad sense to include all of the procedures by which one mind may affect another. This, of course, involves not only written and oral speech, but also music, the pictorial arts, the theatre, the ballet, and in fact all human behavior. In some connections it may be desirable to use a still broader definition of communication, namely, one which would include the procedures by means of which one mechanism (say automatic equipment to track an airplane and to compute its probably future positions) affects another mechanism (say a guided missile chasing this airplane). The language of this memorandum will often appear to refer to the special, but still very broad and important, field of the communication of speech; but practically everything said applies equally as well to music of any sort, and to still or moving pictures, as in television. .X 20 1 1045 29 1 1045 34 1 1045 35 1 1045 42 2 1045 43 1 1045 53 1 1045 58 1 1045 60 1 1045 70 1 1045 84 1 1045 85 3 1045 95 1 1045 129 1 1045 137 1 1045 168 1 1045 172 1 1045 175 2 1045 312 1 1045 355 1 1045 382 1 1045 444 1 1045 445 1 1045 447 1 1045 449 1 1045 456 1 1045 457 1 1045 459 1 1045 469 1 1045 474 1 1045 486 1 1045 532 1 1045 572 1 1045 574 1 1045 585 1 1045 590 1 1045 599 1 1045 625 1 1045 640 1 1045 652 1 1045 660 1 1045 665 3 1045 716 1 1045 762 2 1045 764 1 1045 803 1 1045 893 1 1045 1016 1 1045 1022 1 1045 1030 2 1045 1037 2 1045 1045 23 1045 1046 1 1045 1047 1 1045 1054 1 1045 1077 1 1045 1084 1 1045 1116 1 1045 1161 1 1045 1195 1 1045 1201 2 1045 1204 1 1045 1213 1 1045 1220 1 1045 1235 1 1045 1268 1 1045 1281 1 1045 1285 1 1045 1296 1 1045 1327 2 1045 1389 1 1045 1422 1 1045 1443 1 1045 1443 1 1045 .I 1046 .T Meaning and the Structure of Language .A Chafe, W.L. .W The work to which this chapter forms a preface arises out of a deep and prolonged dissatisfaction which the author has felt with both past and present theories of the structure of language.

The intrinsic importance of these remarks is minimal, but they may provide a useful background for what follows. .X 117 1 1046 168 3 1046 175 1 1046 317 2 1046 320 2 1046 332 1 1046 417 1 1046 443 1 1046 546 1 1046 558 2 1046 572 3 1046 590 2 1046 608 1 1046 628 1 1046 664 1 1046 902 1 1046 1045 1 1046 1046 6 1046 1047 1 1046 1118 1 1046 1213 1 1046 1232 1 1046 1327 1 1046 1389 1 1046 1399 3 1046 1443 3 1046 1443 3 1046 .I 1047 .T Measurement of Meaning .A Osgood, C.E. .W The scientific study of language has been developing with particular rapidity during the past decade or so. One thinks immediately of the basic work of Zipf and Skinner, of the developments in information theory, in concept formation, in second language learning, in work association research, and generally of the increasing integration of the psychological and linguistic approaches as reflected in the activities of the Social Science Research Council Committee on Linguistics and Psychology. Almost every new issue of a social science journal brings additional evidence of this heightened activity. A significant aspect of much of this development has been the devising and application of new quantitative measurement techniques. During the past six or seven years, a group of us at the University of Illinois has been concentrating on the development of an objective measure of meaning, and this book is largely a progress report of that research. .X 118 1 1047 168 1 1047 412 1 1047 549 1 1047 572 1 1047 590 1 1047 610 1 1047 1045 1 1047 1046 1 1047 1047 6 1047 1213 1 1047 1389 1 1047 1443 1 1047 1443 1 1047 .I 1048 .T Measurement of Satisfaction in Work and Retirement .A Smith, P.C. .W The focus of the book can be summed up in its subtitle: A Strategy for the Study of Attitudes. This strategy is developed by devoting considerable attention to the nature of the concept of satisfaction, and, particularly, to the requirements for scientifically adequate measures of satisfaction. In fact, it is the emphasis on a comprehensive set of requirements for sound measurement, rather than on just one or two elements of it, which is the quality that sets this book apart from any previous report in the area of job satisfaction. Not the least of the values of this book is its basic utility for both academicians and practitioners. For the former, it should serve as a powerful spur and guide to further fundamental research on the nature and correlates of satisfaction. For too many years we in this area have been plagued by inadequately conceived and poorly developed measuring devices. This has led to a plethora of studies each using a different scale or measuring instrument. As a consequence, this has opened the door for almost anyone to claim the solution for making sense of the jigsaw pattern of findings relating to satisfaction. At the very least, the present volume should provide researchers with a thoroughly developed measuring instrument that will allow comparability of results across studies. If so, this may well bring some meaningful order to the present rather chaotically structured literature on job satisfaction. .X 15 1 1048 105 1 1048 560 1 1048 1048 5 1048 1069 2 1048 1186 1 1048 1188 1 1048 1233 2 1048 1408 1 1048 1454 1 1048 1454 1 1048 .I 1049 .T Measuring the Quality of Library Service: A Handbook .A Beeler, M.G. .W There is probably no measurement task which public servants face which is more difficult than that of measuring the quality of service. It is as difficult to measure the quality of hospital service, or of schools, or of social welfare programs, as it is to determine the quality of library service. It is equally as difficult to decide what actions to take in order to improve service. Legislators, urban and regional planners, consultants, boards of trustees, accrediting teams, librarians, and a host of other decision makers must act on the basis of some conclusions about the quality of service offered by library systems. This handbook is intended for these groups, and especially for practicing librarians. The pervasiveness of the problem across all public service institutions, however, leads us to hope that the handbook will be of interest to other groups. .X 234 1 1049 274 1 1049 304 1 1049 306 1 1049 338 1 1049 376 1 1049 646 1 1049 647 1 1049 651 1 1049 910 1 1049 935 1 1049 942 1 1049 943 1 1049 944 1 1049 948 1 1049 1006 1 1049 1008 2 1049 1017 3 1049 1049 5 1049 1145 1 1049 1206 1 1049 1227 1 1049 1237 1 1049 1357 1 1049 1378 1 1049 1384 1 1049 1396 1 1049 1440 1 1049 1450 1 1049 1453 1 1049 1453 1 1049 .I 1050 .T Medical Innovation: a diffusion study .A Coleman, J.S. .W The research reported here constitutes a case study in the acceptance of an innovation. The innovation is a medical one, a drug which physicians use in everyday practice; the setting is in the Midwestern United States in the 1950's. This study gives a glimpse of one small part of the great changes that have recently occurred within medicine and thus is of specific interest to the medical profession and its allied institutions. But more generally, the question of the spread of an innovation is of interest to all students of society. Particularly in an age of change, and in our complex and massive society, an understanding of the way in which an innovation can spread - for better or worse! - constitutes important knowledge of man. It is to aid in this understanding, as well as to describe the case at hand, that this report is written. .X 89 2 1050 102 1 1050 105 1 1050 109 1 1050 110 1 1050 137 1 1050 139 1 1050 147 1 1050 155 1 1050 157 1 1050 210 1 1050 312 1 1050 314 1 1050 355 1 1050 356 3 1050 391 3 1050 426 1 1050 436 3 1050 437 2 1050 544 1 1050 560 1 1050 582 1 1050 656 1 1050 658 2 1050 685 1 1050 763 1 1050 788 1 1050 986 1 1050 1030 1 1050 1050 7 1050 1062 1 1050 1254 1 1050 1256 1 1050 1284 1 1050 1285 1 1050 1288 2 1050 1290 1 1050 1291 2 1050 1293 1 1050 1294 1 1050 1295 1 1050 1296 2 1050 1297 1 1050 1319 1 1050 1339 1 1050 1346 1 1050 1386 2 1050 1404 1 1050 1404 1 1050 .I 1051 .T MEDLARS 1963-1967 .A Austin, C.J. .W The purpose of this document is to present a final description of the system as it has evolved through a period of four years of operation.

(2) What was actually accomplished? and (3) What changes were made in the original system design and why? .X 51 1 1051 59 1 1051 63 1 1051 64 1 1051 69 1 1051 71 1 1051 77 1 1051 79 1 1051 145 1 1051 168 1 1051 175 3 1051 176 1 1051 200 1 1051 211 2 1051 245 1 1051 281 1 1051 315 1 1051 355 1 1051 374 1 1051 382 4 1051 389 1 1051 448 1 1051 452 1 1051 458 1 1051 480 1 1051 481 1 1051 482 1 1051 483 1 1051 484 1 1051 486 1 1051 488 1 1051 491 1 1051 493 1 1051 503 1 1051 507 1 1051 509 1 1051 510 1 1051 512 1 1051 517 1 1051 520 1 1051 522 1 1051 527 1 1051 528 1 1051 531 1 1051 546 1 1051 565 1 1051 566 1 1051 581 1 1051 594 1 1051 596 1 1051 603 1 1051 608 1 1051 633 1 1051 659 1 1051 715 1 1051 717 2 1051 718 1 1051 719 1 1051 754 1 1051 781 1 1051 783 1 1051 790 1 1051 805 1 1051 809 1 1051 810 1 1051 812 1 1051 813 1 1051 814 1 1051 817 1 1051 824 1 1051 825 1 1051 834 1 1051 835 1 1051 848 1 1051 849 1 1051 850 2 1051 851 1 1051 852 1 1051 894 1 1051 922 1 1051 925 1 1051 979 1 1051 980 1 1051 981 1 1051 982 1 1051 1042 2 1051 1051 8 1051 1294 1 1051 1303 1 1051 1327 1 1051 1368 1 1051 1410 1 1051 1415 2 1051 1419 1 1051 1426 1 1051 1427 1 1051 1427 1 1051 .I 1052 .T Melcher on Acquisition .A Melcher, D. .W This book originally set out to be a kind of reporting-in-depth of the American Library Association Pre-Conference on Acquisitions held in Atlantic City in the summer of 1969 - a report embracing not only the essential content of the formal speeches, but also the floor discussions and after-hours bull sessions. Meanwhile, however, a closely similar treatment of the problem of how to buy library materials, long in process, suddenly shaped up and was published by ALA in November 1969. This was Purchasing Library Materials in Public and School Libraries by Evelyn Hensel and Peter D. Veilette. A treatment of the acquisition process in college and university libraries was also taking shape at this time and became the January 1970 issue of Library Trends. The acquisition problems of research libraries were likewise getting detailed examination in the two annual International Seminars on Approval and Gathering Plans in Large and Medium Size Academic Libraries, sponsored by Western Michigan University in the fall of 1968 and the fall of 1969. .X 235 1 1052 289 1 1052 291 1 1052 548 1 1052 594 1 1052 597 1 1052 598 1 1052 601 1 1052 836 1 1052 863 1 1052 864 1 1052 865 1 1052 866 1 1052 868 1 1052 897 1 1052 916 1 1052 936 1 1052 1052 8 1052 1248 1 1052 1248 1 1052 .I 1053 .T Methods of Information Handling .A Bourne, C.P. .W This book is meant to be an aid and reference work for those people who are interested in the design of information systems. Such information systems are typified by the traditional libraries, but the same problems of information processing, storage, and retrieval are present in many government and industrial organizations in many places besides the library. This book provides an illustration of the tools, equipment, and methodology that might be applied to those problems. .X 140 1 1053 146 1 1053 337 1 1053 346 1 1053 360 1 1053 458 1 1053 471 1 1053 495 1 1053 563 1 1053 835 1 1053 851 1 1053 862 1 1053 911 1 1053 966 1 1053 967 1 1053 1053 6 1053 1231 1 1053 1309 1 1053 1393 1 1053 1393 1 1053 .I 1054 .T Relevance Predictability in Information Retrieval Systems .A Kent, A. Belzer, J. Kurfeerst, M. Dym, E.D. Shirey, d.L. Bose, A. .W An experiment is described which attempts to derive quantitative indicators regarding the potential relevance predictability of the intermediate stimuli used to represent documents in information retrieval systems. In effect, since the decision to peruse an entire document is often predicated upon the examination of one "level of processing" of the document (e.g., the citation and/or abstract), it became interesting to analyze the properties of what constitutes "relevance". However, prior to such an analysis, an even more elementary step had to be made, namely, to determine what portions of a document should be examined. An evaluation of the ability of intermediate response products (IRPs), functioning as cues to the information content of full documents, to predict the relevance determination that would be subsequently made on these documents by motivated users of information retrieval systems, was made under controlled experimental conditions. The hypothesis that there might be other intermediate response products (selected extracts from the document i.e., first paragraph, last paragraph, and the combination of first and last paragraph), that would be representative of the full document as the traditional IRPs (citation and abstract) was tested systematically. The results showed that: 1. there is no significant difference among the several IRP treatment groups on the number of cue evaluations of relevancy which match the subsequent user relevancy decision on the document; 2. first and last paragraph combinations have consistently predicted relevancy to a higher degree that the other IRPs; 3. abstracts were undistinguished as predictors; and 4. the apparent high predictability rating for citations was not substantive. Some of these results are quite different than would be expected from previous work with unmotivated subjects. .X 35 2 1054 42 1 1054 43 1 1054 52 1 1054 58 1 1054 70 1 1054 73 1 1054 81 1 1054 86 1 1054 95 1 1054 194 1 1054 420 1 1054 451 1 1054 480 1 1054 571 1 1054 578 1 1054 582 1 1054 589 1 1054 594 1 1054 595 1 1054 655 1 1054 656 1 1054 657 2 1054 712 1 1054 781 1 1054 785 1 1054 817 1 1054 825 1 1054 1024 1 1054 1045 1 1054 1054 5 1054 1154 1 1054 1215 1 1054 1232 1 1054 1281 1 1054 1295 1 1054 1298 1 1054 1298 1 1054 .I 1055 .T The Use of Biomedical Periodical Literature at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology .A Wood, D.N. Bower, C.A. .W The paper reports the results of a two week questionnaire survey of the use of biomedical periodical literature carried out at the UK National Lending Library in February 1969. The survey was designated to discover the subject, date and language characteristics of the borrowed literature, the most frequently requested journals, and the most popular sources of references to biomedical publications. The loans were spread over 1,084 titles, although 9 per cent of the issues involved only 2 per cent of the titles. The literature in most demand was less than one year old and in the case of medicine 50 per cent of the requests were for literature lss than 3 1/2 years old. The half-life for the biological literature was somewhat longer at 5 3/4 years. The majority of issues (87.8 per cent) involved English language periodicals. Overall, the principal sources of references to the requested literature were citation lists in other periodical articles. Regarding the more recent literature, however, abstracting and indexing journals were the primary sources of information. For medical references Index Medicus was the most used indexing publication, and for biological references Current Contents. .X 2 1 1055 33 1 1055 36 1 1055 41 1 1055 65 1 1055 75 1 1055 76 3 1055 89 2 1055 97 1 1055 102 1 1055 111 1 1055 112 1 1055 132 1 1055 137 1 1055 139 1 1055 152 1 1055 155 1 1055 156 1 1055 163 1 1055 183 3 1055 184 2 1055 193 2 1055 195 1 1055 198 1 1055 199 1 1055 201 1 1055 203 2 1055 204 2 1055 210 3 1055 213 1 1055 214 1 1055 225 1 1055 269 1 1055 359 1 1055 373 1 1055 382 1 1055 475 1 1055 495 1 1055 526 1 1055 545 1 1055 552 3 1055 587 1 1055 605 1 1055 613 1 1055 614 1 1055 638 1 1055 676 1 1055 735 2 1055 747 1 1055 750 1 1055 753 1 1055 760 1 1055 766 2 1055 767 1 1055 774 1 1055 775 2 1055 779 1 1055 782 1 1055 784 2 1055 788 3 1055 789 2 1055 790 1 1055 793 1 1055 800 1 1055 808 1 1055 828 1 1055 905 1 1055 953 1 1055 977 2 1055 983 1 1055 1016 1 1055 1023 1 1055 1030 1 1055 1055 7 1055 1056 1 1055 1083 1 1055 1086 1 1055 1087 1 1055 1090 1 1055 1135 1 1055 1260 1 1055 1275 1 1055 1276 1 1055 1278 1 1055 1280 1 1055 1281 1 1055 1285 1 1055 1286 1 1055 1287 1 1055 1295 1 1055 1297 1 1055 1302 1 1055 1335 1 1055 1390 1 1055 1397 2 1055 1417 1 1055 1428 1 1055 1432 2 1055 1451 1 1055 1451 1 1055 .I 1056 .T Metropolitan Public Library .A Bundy, M.L. .W Public libraries in the 1960's which are active and alert and interested in meeting the interests of their various publics face problems far different from those of even a decade ago. The Maryland metropolitan area is an example of the many changes taking place in metropolitan areas which require corresponding change in the type and form and arrangements for library service and even demand looking into the very nature of library service itself. .X 2 1 1056 76 1 1056 132 1 1056 137 1 1056 139 1 1056 152 1 1056 155 1 1056 161 1 1056 183 1 1056 195 1 1056 203 1 1056 204 1 1056 208 1 1056 210 1 1056 237 1 1056 239 2 1056 358 4 1056 385 1 1056 402 1 1056 456 2 1056 470 1 1056 475 1 1056 552 1 1056 760 1 1056 774 1 1056 775 1 1056 788 1 1056 789 1 1056 908 1 1056 925 1 1056 937 1 1056 946 2 1056 954 1 1056 977 1 1056 1005 4 1056 1018 2 1056 1032 3 1056 1055 1 1056 1056 12 1056 1145 2 1056 1227 1 1056 1238 1 1056 1240 1 1056 1373 1 1056 1384 1 1056 1451 1 1056 1451 1 1056 .I 1057 .T The Microtext Reading Room: Part II .A Fair, J. .W Part I dealt with the selection of a microtext manager and with procedural consideration in the acquisition process.

A growing number of published studies indicate that improper production, inadequate bibliographic access, lack of standardization, defects in equipment design, maintenance problems, poor environments for microform usage, and certain inherent characteristics of the microforms themselves all combine to make their use inconvenient. Solutions to most of these problems have existed for some time, but the microform industry has been slow to correct them. Some positive developments have occurred in the last two years, but the major problems remain. .X 10 2 1058 11 1 1058 143 1 1058 190 1 1058 225 1 1058 232 1 1058 244 1 1058 268 1 1058 286 1 1058 304 1 1058 305 2 1058 306 1 1058 358 1 1058 383 1 1058 385 1 1058 394 1 1058 433 1 1058 459 1 1058 534 1 1058 551 1 1058 702 1 1058 721 1 1058 731 1 1058 732 1 1058 817 1 1058 820 1 1058 823 1 1058 825 1 1058 826 1 1058 827 1 1058 828 1 1058 886 1 1058 887 1 1058 947 1 1058 948 1 1058 1017 1 1058 1020 1 1058 1021 1 1058 1058 6 1058 1059 1 1058 1060 1 1058 1146 1 1058 1230 1 1058 1257 1 1058 1390 1 1058 1390 1 1058 .I 1059 .T Microform Information Sources: Publications and Hardware .A Diaz, Albert James .W This article lists and describes articles, books, and services that provide information about publications available in microform and about microform hardware.. .X 10 1 1059 115 1 1059 232 1 1059 383 1 1059 393 1 1059 551 1 1059 647 1 1059 651 1 1059 886 1 1059 887 1 1059 947 1 1059 1014 1 1059 1058 1 1059 1059 5 1059 1060 3 1059 1060 3 1059 .I 1060 .T Microforms in Libraries .A Diaz, A.T. .W Why do libraries use microforms? According to a 1974 survey by a micropublisher, saving space was the reason given by most respondents. Holmes, on the other hand, found, "to acquire materials not otherwise available," as the major reason. Others include: (1) Instead of binding serials (journals are retained unbound for two to three years after publication, the period of heaviest use, and are then discarded and replaced by microform versions; (2) To preserve deteriorating materials; (3) Easing access to bulky materials such as newspapers; (4) To provide working copies of materials too delicate for continued use such as rare books; (5) to save money - in most cases the cost of an out-of-print set or serial backfile will be substantially less in microform than the cost of a full-size reprint or the cost of the original on the used book market; (6) Ease of acquisition - i.e., acquiring materials which would otherwise be difficult to acquire; (7) Mutilations reduced. .X 10 1 1060 115 1 1060 232 1 1060 393 1 1060 551 1 1060 647 1 1060 651 1 1060 881 1 1060 882 1 1060 886 1 1060 887 1 1060 888 1 1060 904 1 1060 947 1 1060 999 1 1060 1000 1 1060 1001 1 1060 1002 1 1060 1003 1 1060 1004 1 1060 1058 1 1060 1059 3 1060 1060 8 1060 1437 1 1060 1437 1 1060 .I 1061 .T Milestones in Cataloging .A Lehnus, d.J. .W In the case of the present study, Dr.Lehnus was interested in applying a method - in a non-standard way for that method - to a type of literature that had not been addressed so far. He proposed to begin with a single monograph on the subject "cataloging," apply the method of citation analysis to the references of that work, and determine whether a core literature on cataloging could be discovered in this way. There are innumerable examples of core literatures in scientific fields obtained from journal articles or through the Science citation index, but research via the monograph in non- scientific subjects has been minimal. .X 8 1 1061 19 1 1061 20 1 1061 37 1 1061 39 1 1061 40 1 1061 47 1 1061 88 1 1061 97 1 1061 102 1 1061 103 1 1061 171 1 1061 233 1 1061 253 1 1061 313 1 1061 359 1 1061 377 1 1061 379 1 1061 395 1 1061 505 1 1061 530 1 1061 560 1 1061 573 1 1061 618 1 1061 632 1 1061 635 1 1061 667 1 1061 748 1 1061 749 1 1061 751 1 1061 764 1 1061 765 1 1061 777 1 1061 778 1 1061 782 1 1061 804 1 1061 805 1 1061 824 1 1061 825 1 1061 880 1 1061 893 1 1061 909 1 1061 918 1 1061 952 1 1061 1016 1 1061 1061 5 1061 1085 1 1061 1086 1 1061 1087 1 1061 1146 1 1061 1182 1 1061 1200 1 1061 1215 1 1061 1274 1 1061 1277 1 1061 1278 1 1061 1280 1 1061 1287 1 1061 1301 1 1061 1302 1 1061 1304 1 1061 1313 1 1061 1338 1 1061 1344 1 1061 1347 1 1061 1380 1 1061 1428 1 1061 1441 1 1061 1444 1 1061 1453 1 1061 1453 1 1061 .I 1062 .T Patterns of Evaluation in Science: Institutionalization, Structure and Functions of the Referee System .A Zuckerman, H. Merton, R.K. .W The referee system in science involves the systematic use of judges to assess the acceptability of manuscripts submitted for publication. The referee is thus an example of status-judges who are charged with evaluating the quality of role-performance in a social system. They are found in every institutional sphere. Other kinds of status-judges include teachers assessing the quality of work by students (and, as a recent institutional change, students officially assessing the quality of performance by teachers), critics in the arts, supervisors in industry and coaches and managers in sports. Status-judges are integral to any system of social control through their evaluation of role-performance and their allocation of rewards for that performance. They influence the motivation to maintain or to raise standards of performance. .X 48 1 1062 89 2 1062 98 1 1062 100 1 1062 102 1 1062 104 1 1062 105 1 1062 106 1 1062 107 2 1062 110 3 1062 111 3 1062 112 1 1062 113 1 1062 155 1 1062 157 1 1062 170 1 1062 314 1 1062 356 1 1062 359 1 1062 456 1 1062 544 1 1062 545 1 1062 560 2 1062 582 1 1062 592 1 1062 602 1 1062 656 1 1062 685 1 1062 793 1 1062 1030 2 1062 1050 1 1062 1062 7 1062 1083 1 1062 1085 1 1062 1209 1 1062 1256 1 1062 1284 1 1062 1285 2 1062 1287 1 1062 1290 1 1062 1291 3 1062 1293 2 1062 1294 1 1062 1295 1 1062 1296 2 1062 1297 1 1062 1301 1 1062 1302 2 1062 1319 1 1062 1335 1 1062 1340 1 1062 1344 1 1062 1346 2 1062 1347 1 1062 1386 1 1062 1386 1 1062 .I 1063 .T The Development of a Scientific Specialty: The Phage Group and the Origins of Molecular Biology .A Mullins, N.C. .W This paper analyses the formation of a new discipline, molecular biology, from the development of phage work. It argues that such social variables as the competitive position and relative status of each of the specialities or disciplines from which a new one is formed are not sufficient to explain phage work's development into the specialty of molecular biology. Even though persons in physics, a field with high academic standing, decided to enter biology, which had a lower academic standing, and even though some recruiting of students occurred, these factors alone are not sufficient to account for the development of the specialty, particularly given the competitiveness of modern conditions. In the emergence of molecular biology from phage work, the variables of status and competitive position, adduced by Professors Ben-David and Collins to explain the emergence of experimental psychology from the hybridization of physiology and philosophy, seem to be less important than other normal activities which occur in scientific development. .X 33 1 1063 95 1 1063 98 1 1063 101 2 1063 102 1 1063 105 4 1063 109 1 1063 110 1 1063 343 1 1063 386 1 1063 391 1 1063 398 1 1063 544 2 1063 560 1 1063 605 1 1063 667 1 1063 750 1 1063 775 1 1063 800 1 1063 1030 2 1063 1063 7 1063 1081 1 1063 1082 1 1063 1088 1 1063 1284 1 1063 1285 1 1063 1286 1 1063 1287 1 1063 1300 1 1063 1308 1 1063 1312 1 1063 1315 1 1063 1329 1 1063 1334 1 1063 1342 1 1063 1386 2 1063 1387 2 1063 1389 1 1063 1408 1 1063 1408 1 1063 .I 1064 .T Modern Manuscripts A Practical Manual for Their Management, Care and Use .A Duckett, K.W. .W The title of this book is intended to indicate that its scope is limited to manuscripts of the seventeenth century to the present.

The book is directed toward the novice curator of manuscripts, and, again, as the title indicates, it is intended to serve as a practical guide, not as an exposition of theory. .X 142 1 1064 1064 6 1064 1064 6 1064 .I 1065 .T Modern Organizations .A Etzione, A. .W The plan of this book follows our definition of organizations as social units that pursue specific goals which they are structured to serve, obviously under some social circumstances. Therefore the book has three foci: organizational goals; organizational structure; and organizations and their social environment. Considerably more space is devoted to organizational structure than to the other topics, for two reasons: First, more research has been conducted and more writings are available on organizational structure than on organizational goals (Chapter 2) and environment. Second, the major schools of organizational analysis have fixed their interests on structural aspects of the organization, and thus, we may best evaluate these different approaches in the context of organizational structure. .X 270 1 1065 285 1 1065 301 1 1065 381 1 1065 1015 1 1065 1065 6 1065 1150 1 1065 1333 1 1065 1353 1 1065 1454 1 1065 1454 1 1065 .I 1066 .T A Modern Outline of Library Classification .A Mills, J. .W This outline is based mainly on lectures given at the North-Western Polytechnic to students studying for the Library Association's Registration Examination in Classification and Cataloguing. It is hoped that it will help to meet the need, increasingly felt in recent years by students and teachers of the subject, for a reasonably simple textbook on Library Classification which takes account of the considerable developments which have occurred in the subject in the past 25 years. As is well known, a great deal of this has been due to Dr. Ranganathan, and also, in more recent years, to Mr. B. C. Vickery. As a result of these developments, a coherent theory of library classification has been established in each of its three major departments - in subject analysis, in notation, and in the alphabetical indexing of systematic orders. It is now possible to construct library classifications whose efficiency in the two basic functions (of relating subjects helpfully, and of locating them rapidly ad unerringly) is considerably greater than the schemes we have so far used. Moreover, they are easier to construct. .X 154 1 1066 257 1 1066 258 1 1066 260 1 1066 263 1 1066 388 1 1066 476 1 1066 477 1 1066 516 1 1066 1066 5 1066 1231 3 1066 1255 1 1066 1259 1 1066 1391 1 1066 1393 2 1066 1394 1 1066 1414 1 1066 1429 1 1066 1430 1 1066 1430 1 1066 .I 1067 .T Modern Systems Research for the Behavioral Scientist. A Sourcebook .A Buckley, W. .W Although it is hoped that this sourcebook will be of interest to those of any discipline concerned with new developments in science of the last quarter century, it is addressed principally to the student of human behavior as that study is approached from the social side. This is so partly because that is the editor's main competence and interest, but primarily because the study of human behavior is the general area of science that has least responded to the exciting challenge of the modern systems outlook. Yet it is precisely this general area that stands to gain the most from insights into the workings of the more complex types of systems. .X 557 1 1067 1067 5 1067 1069 1 1067 1333 1 1067 1348 2 1067 1402 1 1067 1402 1 1067 .I 1068 .T Monteith College Library Experiment .A Knapp, P.B. .W Our report on the analysis of social structure in the Monteith Library Project begins with discussion of certain general characteristics of research of this type and with comments on the academic institution as a specific type of formal organization.

My effort was to synthesize the holistic, the dynamic and the cultural emphases which, each one, excited so many young psychologists of the time. I felt that they were intrinsically related to each other, and that they were subaspects of a single, larger, encompassing whole. I felt also that they would make more meaningful my previous studies at the University of Wisconsin in comparative and experimental psychology, and in biology and neurophysiology. Furthermore, I felt that they would enable me to serve better my humanistic aims. .X 4 1 1069 285 1 1069 293 1 1069 296 1 1069 298 1 1069 301 1 1069 302 1 1069 401 1 1069 418 4 1069 557 1 1069 768 1 1069 774 1 1069 823 1 1069 842 1 1069 843 1 1069 844 1 1069 925 1 1069 1015 1 1069 1041 1 1069 1048 2 1069 1067 1 1069 1069 9 1069 1070 3 1069 1214 2 1069 1233 2 1069 1348 1 1069 1454 1 1069 1455 1 1069 1455 1 1069 .I 1070 .T The Motivation to Work .A Herzberg, F. .W This book reports the findings from a study of job motivation based on a fresh approach to this problem. It is an important study, since the analyses and interpretations of the authors suggest that a breakthrough may well have been made to provide new insights into the nature and method of operation of job attitudes. The senior authors were well prepared for their task, having recently completed a comprehensive review and analysis of the research in this field, reported in Job Attitudes: Review of Research and Opinion. This review of several thousand articles and books regarding the factors relating to job attitudes and the effect of job attitudes on work performance indicated much disagreement and confusion in the field. It appeared that one of the major contributors to this apparent diversity of results was the unstable nature of the subjective data on which studies in this field have been typically based. .X 4 1 1070 128 1 1070 129 1 1070 130 1 1070 167 1 1070 173 1 1070 223 1 1070 225 1 1070 227 1 1070 234 1 1070 280 1 1070 285 1 1070 293 1 1070 296 1 1070 298 1 1070 301 1 1070 302 1 1070 393 1 1070 418 5 1070 468 1 1070 494 1 1070 639 1 1070 646 1 1070 647 1 1070 651 1 1070 765 1 1070 768 1 1070 774 1 1070 818 1 1070 822 1 1070 823 2 1070 827 1 1070 842 1 1070 843 1 1070 844 1 1070 925 2 1070 943 1 1070 944 1 1070 1015 1 1070 1069 3 1070 1070 6 1070 1085 1 1070 1150 2 1070 1186 1 1070 1187 1 1070 1214 2 1070 1233 1 1070 1374 1 1070 1390 1 1070 1401 1 1070 1437 1 1070 1454 1 1070 1455 2 1070 1455 2 1070 .I 1071 .T An Integrated Health-Science Core Library for Physicians, Nurses and Allied Health Practitioners in Community Hospitals .A Stearns, Norman S. .A Ratcliff, Wendy W. .W This Core Medical Library has been revised, updated and expanded in the hope of providing a single library facility for the entire health-care team..

Brann, W. Vanpel, W. .W The authors of this essay were faced with the task of organizing a documentation office in which a large number of publications and patents in chemistry would have to be processed. This large collection would be made available to a large group of elements without restrictions. To permit a large frequency of use, and to maintain this also with increases in file sizes, it becomes necessary to limit especially that faction of the task which consists in the retrieval activities paper. Savings in the retrieval activity are possible only at the expense of greater effort in indexing and by heavier use of technical aids. We have taken the second path by consciously applying the principles to a highly detailed faceted classification. .X 116 3 1072 117 1 1072 254 1 1072 327 1 1072 490 1 1072 491 1 1072 495 1 1072 512 1 1072 641 1 1072 668 1 1072 670 1 1072 671 1 1072 673 1 1072 677 1 1072 678 1 1072 679 1 1072 682 1 1072 683 1 1072 689 2 1072 690 1 1072 693 1 1072 694 1 1072 695 1 1072 698 1 1072 700 1 1072 704 1 1072 706 1 1072 707 1 1072 727 1 1072 730 1 1072 738 1 1072 833 1 1072 1026 1 1072 1072 6 1072 1292 1 1072 1452 1 1072 1452 1 1072 .I 1073 .T Automatic Construction of Thesauri and of Concept Systems for Dictionaries and Subject Lists .A Lang, F.H. .W After a synopsis of the relations existing between descriptors and their concepts, the EPD-program called "GENTHES" is described. The program supports the construction of a thesaurus and its use. The relational system corresponds to ISO/DIS 2788 (UNESCO) and DIN 1463. It differentiates, however, in addition generically related and contiguous terms pertaining to a part-whole system. Characteristics that determine narrower terms against their broader terms are introduced as new relation. Many types of associations are made available for experimenting. The programmed generation of dependent relations reduces the amount of work to one third although ensuring total avoidance of formal errors and logical contradictions, even in applying permitted polyhierarchy. The program is available in batch mode or in an interactive timesharing version (Remote GENTHES). The program functions are input, logical and formal input checking, generation of relations, display, delete, print on line printer and storage on disk.

According to it, the so-called "Universal Decimal Classification" proves to be fragmentary. Terminological aspects are not provided for, hierarchical order often is fictitious, and the representation of special fields is inadequate. For the purpose of reforming the Decimal Classification, a reconstruction scheme is suggested, consisting of free facets, with the aid of which special classifications can be compiled, according to the modular principle. .X 75 1 1074 154 2 1074 477 1 1074 838 2 1074 898 1 1074 989 1 1074 1074 6 1074 1075 3 1074 1077 1 1074 1391 2 1074 1402 2 1074 1413 1 1074 1429 2 1074 1430 2 1074 1430 2 1074 .I 1075 .T Possibilities for Revisions of the DK (Decimal Classification) .A Dahlberg, I. .W For a number of reasons mentioned it is proposed to reorganize in a new edition the existing UDC completely, to reallocate the subject fields of the UDC main classes according to present day views, state of knowledge and priorities, and to subdivide these main classes only by subfields of subject fields. The specific facets of each field should be represented by a uniform array of special auxiliaries attached to the fields through the technique of interrupted subdivision. These should express the following categories: (1) Theory, (2) Objects, (3) Processes, (4) Attributes, (6) Order, organization, (7) Relation, (8) Determination, (9) Evaluation.

II: communication and Information .A Wersig, V.G. Meyer-Uhlenried, K. .W Developing from the definitions of the concept language a terminological represented model of the communication process can be deduced that shows the transfer of meaning between communicator and recipient through communication channels and mediators. The distinguished communication structures are communication sequences, chains, nets and systems. With an universal definition of data as fixed representations of facts by means of signs the various meanings of the term "information" are terminological to differentiate as "information," "information process" and "informations." The theory of signs makes the differentiation of syntactical, semantical, sigmatical and pragmatical information possible. Adequate to communication process and system we can determine informing process and information system. .X 29 1 1077 58 1 1077 60 1 1077 85 1 1077 117 1 1077 165 3 1077 169 1 1077 445 2 1077 451 1 1077 476 1 1077 525 2 1077 590 2 1077 609 1 1077 621 2 1077 641 1 1077 656 1 1077 668 1 1077 670 1 1077 671 1 1077 674 1 1077 683 1 1077 689 2 1077 715 1 1077 762 1 1077 797 1 1077 814 1 1077 819 1 1077 901 1 1077 1022 1 1077 1045 1 1077 1074 1 1077 1077 7 1077 1231 3 1077 1309 1 1077 1309 1 1077 .I 1078 .T Computerized Information Retrieval Services (Automatisierte Information Retrieval Dienste) .A Standera, O. .W Following an outline of the current trend in information storage, retrieval, and dissemination, this paper provides a description of some of the information services offered at the University of Calgary.

First, is it feasible to define a level or subset of the MARC format that would allow a library using the lower level to be part of a future national network? Second, is it possible to use machine-readable records from a variety of sources in a national bibliographic store as a way to reduce the conversion effort on the national level? Third, what are the problems of producing a National Union Catalog from machine-readable records? As these studies and the pilot project progressed, it also became apparent that there were many practical difficulties in carrying out a large-scale conversion project. Therefore, it seemed essential to investigate alternative strategies for RECON that might yield broad benefits in a reasonable short time span. .X 92 1 1079 141 2 1079 232 1 1079 241 1 1079 244 1 1079 246 1 1079 299 3 1079 331 1 1079 333 3 1079 358 1 1079 365 1 1079 406 1 1079 449 1 1079 522 1 1079 529 1 1079 530 2 1079 553 1 1079 627 2 1079 628 3 1079 630 1 1079 802 1 1079 819 1 1079 822 1 1079 825 1 1079 854 1 1079 871 1 1079 872 1 1079 873 2 1079 874 4 1079 875 3 1079 876 2 1079 877 2 1079 878 2 1079 879 1 1079 880 1 1079 883 1 1079 892 3 1079 896 1 1079 930 1 1079 940 2 1079 941 5 1079 946 1 1079 948 1 1079 950 1 1079 978 1 1079 988 1 1079 990 1 1079 992 1 1079 993 1 1079 994 2 1079 995 3 1079 996 1 1079 997 3 1079 998 2 1079 1033 1 1079 1079 7 1079 1143 1 1079 1153 1 1079 1189 1 1079 1216 2 1079 1230 1 1079 1251 1 1079 1257 1 1079 1303 1 1079 1351 2 1079 1379 1 1079 1396 2 1079 1403 1 1079 1420 2 1079 1421 1 1079 1434 3 1079 1435 4 1079 1436 2 1079 1442 2 1079 1442 2 1079 .I 1080 .T National Document-Handling Systems for Science and Technology .A Carter, L.F. .W This book has grown out of a study undertaken for the Committee on Scientific and Technical Information (COSATI) Task Group on National Systems(s) for Scientific and Technical Information in support of their examination of national document and information systems. The emphasis of the study as stated by COSATI is as follows: 1. Initial and primary priority will be placed on national systems relating to scientific and technical documents, their handling and the management of such documents. Specific matters to be reported on will include, the current organizational and functional situation in the United States; the extent to which known deficiencies are causing a reduction in the potential for technical effectiveness in the United States scientific and technical community; the alternatives which are available and economically feasible for correction of these deficiencies; and one or more action plans which can be followed by governmental (especially including Congress) and non-governmental units. 2. Secondary attention will be given to development of programs which can be undertaken with Government support for identifying, analyzing, and giving a structure to the total flow of scientific and technical information in the United States." .X 119 1 1080 123 1 1080 175 1 1080 206 1 1080 273 1 1080 331 1 1080 336 1 1080 361 1 1080 376 1 1080 459 1 1080 481 1 1080 850 1 1080 872 1 1080 925 1 1080 939 1 1080 940 1 1080 941 1 1080 996 1 1080 1011 2 1080 1080 8 1080 1144 1 1080 1198 1 1080 1258 1 1080 1435 1 1080 1436 1 1080 1441 1 1080 1441 1 1080 .I 1081 .T Generalization of Epidemic Theory An Application to the Transmission of Ideas .A Goffman, W. Newill, V.A. .W One of the most fundamental problems in the field of information retrieval is that of determining the circumstances under which it might be necessary to introduce an information retrieval system as an aid to a given population of scientists. It is proposed that this problem be examined in terms of the transmission and development of ideas within a population. Specifically, the transmission of ideas within a population will be treated as if it were the transmission of an infectious disease, that is, in terms of an epidemic process. An attempt will be made to indicate the role of information retrieval in the development of such a process. .X 33 1 1081 36 1 1081 44 1 1081 57 2 1081 76 1 1081 81 1 1081 101 1 1081 105 1 1081 144 1 1081 184 1 1081 193 1 1081 195 1 1081 201 1 1081 203 1 1081 204 1 1081 205 1 1081 233 1 1081 267 1 1081 359 2 1081 395 1 1081 416 1 1081 544 1 1081 560 1 1081 587 1 1081 605 1 1081 667 4 1081 748 2 1081 750 2 1081 751 1 1081 759 2 1081 765 2 1081 767 1 1081 775 1 1081 778 2 1081 787 2 1081 791 1 1081 792 1 1081 793 1 1081 800 2 1081 893 1 1081 1030 1 1081 1063 1 1081 1081 6 1081 1082 5 1081 1083 2 1081 1085 1 1081 1086 1 1081 1088 3 1081 1201 4 1081 1227 1 1081 1270 1 1081 1278 1 1081 1285 1 1081 1286 1 1081 1287 1 1081 1308 1 1081 1312 1 1081 1334 1 1081 1401 1 1081 1417 1 1081 1418 1 1081 1444 1 1081 1444 1 1081 .I 1082 .T Mathematical Approach to the Spread of Scientific Ideas - The History of Mast Cell Research .A Goffman, W. .W One of the most intriguing problems of modern science is the obscure nature of its own growth. Indeed, there are few notable scientists who have not, at one time or another, given serious thought to the questions of how their particular science has reached its present state and what will be the course of its future development. These questions seem to be of such importance to scientists that they have emerged as fundamental scientific problems in their own right. Goffman and Newill have pointed out that the process by which ideas spread within a population of scientists possesses epidemiological properties and can therefore be investigated as an epidemic process. Consequently, a new set of mathematical tools can be applied to the problem of explaining the nature of scientific development. In particular, this approach makes it possible to establish the relative importance of past lines of inquiry within a given area of scientific research, and to predict the future behavior of existing lines of investigation as well as the emergence of important new ones within the given area. The purpose of this communication is to demonstrate this method by applying it to the development of knowledge about mast cells. In his recent comprehensive survey of this subject, Prof. Hens Selye has assembled a "full bibliography" in which "every aspect of the mast cell is dealt with."

Brookes propounds an ingenious mathematical framework to determine which periodical volumes a library should hold. He is careful to point out that the selection will need regular review and revision, in case the value of the aging factor a or the contents of the Bradford set change from year to year. There is as yet very little experimental evidence on the consistency of either. Such limited evidence as there is suggests that the aging factor is reasonably constant. But the position of the Bradfod set is less satisfactory. The Nature Conservancy librarians (J. M. Weingott and S. M. Penny, unpublished) have lent me a list of titles cited in the Journal of Ecology three or more times in 1955-56, and a similar list for 1965-66. There are 150 periodical titles in the two lists, but only forty-two (28%) appear in both. Of the thirty-three titles cited nine or more times in either year, only eight (25%) attained that level in both, and twelve were cited less than three times in the other year. The Kendall rank correlation coefficient between the two years is 0.18 and not significant. There is another major practical problem. The article assumes that the data analyzed to obtain aging or utility factors and Bradford sets are valid parameters of the relative value of the literature to the readers. There is no mention of the type of data to use. The reader who sought guidance from the earlier literature cited would find practical techniques described in which analyses of citation frequencies are used to calculate utilities discussed in terms of library use. Krauze and Hillinger have discussed the difference between citations in one article and future citations to that article. Their work implies a more complex relation between a and u than Brookes suggests. In any case, the validity of citations for forecasting library consultations remains unproven, and there are prima facie reasons why the relationship is not necessarily close. For example, one item in a list of references is often intended to lead to a chain of earlier papers. Again, each citation represents an author's selection from a wider group most of which he has consulted in a library. In neither case is there any inherent reason for similarity of age distribution or of pool of titles between the list of citations and the items read by the author or his readers. .X 14 1 1090 33 1 1090 36 1 1090 41 2 1090 89 1 1090 97 1 1090 102 1 1090 111 1 1090 112 1 1090 153 1 1090 163 1 1090 170 1 1090 183 1 1090 184 1 1090 193 1 1090 196 1 1090 199 1 1090 203 1 1090 210 1 1090 215 1 1090 219 1 1090 221 1 1090 223 1 1090 225 1 1090 255 1 1090 266 1 1090 269 1 1090 271 1 1090 359 3 1090 373 1 1090 505 1 1090 515 1 1090 545 1 1090 550 1 1090 552 1 1090 573 1 1090 587 1 1090 605 1 1090 613 1 1090 614 3 1090 616 1 1090 638 1 1090 735 1 1090 747 1 1090 748 1 1090 750 1 1090 751 1 1090 753 1 1090 759 1 1090 765 1 1090 766 1 1090 767 1 1090 775 1 1090 778 1 1090 782 1 1090 784 1 1090 788 1 1090 789 1 1090 793 3 1090 800 1 1090 808 2 1090 905 1 1090 953 1 1090 977 1 1090 983 1 1090 1016 2 1090 1019 1 1090 1023 1 1090 1028 1 1090 1030 1 1090 1055 1 1090 1071 1 1090 1083 1 1090 1085 2 1090 1086 2 1090 1087 1 1090 1090 7 1090 1135 1 1090 1147 1 1090 1182 1 1090 1260 1 1090 1275 1 1090 1276 1 1090 1278 1 1090 1280 1 1090 1285 1 1090 1286 1 1090 1287 1 1090 1302 3 1090 1335 1 1090 1352 1 1090 1390 1 1090 1397 1 1090 1417 1 1090 1424 1 1090 1428 1 1090 1432 1 1090 1432 1 1090 .I 1091 .T Effectiveness of Combining Title Words and Index Terms in Machine Retrieval Searches .A Fisher, H.L. .W Our experiment was based on volume 24 of Nuclear Science Abstracts (NSA) which contains about 53,000 citations; we used the generalized file-management system, Master Control, which can operate in either an inverted or a linear search mode. The inverted mode uses a table composed of the unique vocabulary contained in one or more data elements, along with all record numbers in which each vocabulary word occurs. For example, an inverted table constructed on titles will have one entry for each unique word of every title in the data base, plus the record numbers in which each vocabulary word occurs. For example, an inverted table constructed on titles will have one entry for each unique word of every title in the data base, plus the record numbers in which each word was found. (In Master Control, a word is defined as any set of characters bounded on either side by a legal separator such as a blank, period, comma, colon, etc.) On the other hand, in a linear search mode the data element is compared with the profile word, character by character, which results in a prohibitively time-consuming process for large data bases. We chose the inverted-table technique because of the large amount of data to be searched. Individual tables were constructed from the titles of the articles, NSA index terms, and titles and index terms combined. NSA index terms are controlled by the Euratom Thesaurus, as revised for NSA. We used two criteria in the study. First, the questions had to be of real interest to laboratory personnel. Some of the questions had actually been submitted by other members of the staff, to be run concurrently on the same data base on an SDI basis. The others were especially constructed by the authors for this experiment. Second, citations obtained were to be considered good (or relevant) only if they actually pertained to the subject in question; otherwise, they were to be considered "false drops," regardless of the number of words matched between the profile and the citation. .X 18 2 1091 28 1 1091 34 1 1091 38 1 1091 49 1 1091 53 1 1091 59 1 1091 73 1 1091 124 1 1091 125 1 1091 127 1 1091 129 1 1091 145 1 1091 157 1 1091 164 1 1091 190 1 1091 191 1 1091 197 1 1091 202 1 1091 211 2 1091 213 1 1091 214 1 1091 218 1 1091 224 1 1091 243 2 1091 307 1 1091 330 1 1091 378 2 1091 381 1 1091 389 1 1091 421 1 1091 440 1 1091 450 1 1091 451 1 1091 452 2 1091 453 1 1091 459 1 1091 465 1 1091 466 1 1091 467 1 1091 468 3 1091 484 1 1091 490 1 1091 491 1 1091 492 1 1091 495 1 1091 506 2 1091 507 1 1091 508 2 1091 510 2 1091 511 2 1091 512 3 1091 514 4 1091 517 1 1091 518 2 1091 519 1 1091 520 3 1091 521 1 1091 523 2 1091 524 2 1091 525 1 1091 526 2 1091 528 1 1091 529 1 1091 530 1 1091 534 1 1091 546 1 1091 553 1 1091 576 1 1091 579 1 1091 580 1 1091 582 1 1091 587 1 1091 591 1 1091 594 1 1091 595 2 1091 603 4 1091 604 3 1091 606 1 1091 609 2 1091 610 1 1091 611 1 1091 612 2 1091 615 1 1091 619 1 1091 622 2 1091 623 2 1091 625 1 1091 626 1 1091 629 2 1091 630 1 1091 631 1 1091 632 1 1091 633 2 1091 636 1 1091 637 1 1091 639 1 1091 642 1 1091 646 1 1091 648 1 1091 650 1 1091 659 1 1091 676 1 1091 692 1 1091 696 1 1091 699 2 1091 700 1 1091 703 1 1091 705 2 1091 707 1 1091 708 1 1091 711 1 1091 722 1 1091 723 2 1091 726 4 1091 727 2 1091 728 3 1091 729 1 1091 730 2 1091 731 3 1091 732 2 1091 733 1 1091 734 1 1091 736 1 1091 738 1 1091 739 1 1091 740 1 1091 741 1 1091 742 1 1091 743 1 1091 744 1 1091 752 1 1091 754 1 1091 755 2 1091 764 1 1091 780 1 1091 785 1 1091 809 1 1091 810 1 1091 812 1 1091 813 4 1091 814 2 1091 820 5 1091 822 4 1091 824 1 1091 826 1 1091 827 3 1091 828 1 1091 829 2 1091 866 1 1091 870 2 1091 873 1 1091 879 2 1091 883 1 1091 895 2 1091 1004 1 1091 1035 1 1091 1078 2 1091 1089 2 1091 1091 8 1091 1143 1 1091 1207 1 1091 1264 2 1091 1282 1 1091 1283 1 1091 1297 1 1091 1298 1 1091 1299 1 1091 1302 1 1091 1303 2 1091 1307 1 1091 1356 1 1091 1363 1 1091 1364 1 1091 1366 2 1091 1367 2 1091 1368 3 1091 1370 1 1091 1372 1 1091 1373 1 1091 1374 1 1091 1375 1 1091 1376 1 1091 1377 1 1091 1396 2 1091 1448 1 1091 1448 1 1091 .I 1092 .T Method for Relating the Structure and Properties of Chemical Compounds .A Adamson, G.W. .W The structure diagrams of chemical compounds are widely used in the communication of chemistry. They are also used in chemical information systems, mainly as keys for the retrieval of associated information. However some chemical information systems hold property data as well as structure diagrams in machine-readable forms. If structure-property relationships could be investigated easily within chemical information systems, then the usefulness of the systems would be considerably increased. Described below are some results which have been obtained during investigation of structure- property relationships using a combination of regression analysis and some techniques of chemical structure handling used in information systems. .X 254 2 1092 327 3 1092 568 4 1092 697 1 1092 700 1 1092 706 1 1092 890 3 1092 1044 1 1092 1092 5 1092 1218 1 1092 1452 1 1092 1452 1 1092 .I 1093 .T Synthesis of Situations for a Stage of Scientific Activity .A Bernshtein, E.

The analysis has shown that the existing criteria for evaluation of special bibliographies (scope, coverage, arrangement, speed of announcement, etc.) are inadequate for an unbiased characterization of their exhaustivity and subject contents.. This hampers a correct choice of the sources of secondary information and leads to duplication, parallelisms and loss of information.. Judgements of the leading Soviet and foreign bibliographers relating to the problems under consideration are reviewed, which are all essentially in favor of a reconstruction of the publishing processes, issuing of scientific publications on a world scale, and algorithmization of the information processes.. It is suggested that the first objective of research should be a method of comparative evaluation of periodicals.. .X 40 1 1098 76 1 1098 359 1 1098 618 1 1098 759 1 1098 765 1 1098 770 1 1098 776 2 1098 808 1 1098 1076 1 1098 1097 2 1098 1098 8 1098 1102 1 1098 1123 2 1098 1157 3 1098 1160 1 1098 1168 1 1098 1172 2 1098 1176 1 1098 1182 1 1098 1182 1 1098 .I 1099 .T On Factors Influencing the Attitude of Scientists and Engineers towards Scientific Information .A Shekhurin, D. .W The most important objective factors are considered influencing the limits and the depth of information needs of researchers and designers, i.e. the growth of information flow, the level of specialization, the qualification standard, the official position, the development rates of scientific or technical discipline in question the teamwork on scientific or engineering projects, the language barrier, the specifics of narrowly specialized terminology, as well as a number of subjective (psychological) factors like inclination to creative work, type of memory, the time available, methods of sources handling..

The author holds that the system of scientific communications is based on formal processes (founded on scientific and technical literature, including the primary and secondary sources), whereas the informal processes (in which scientists play the leading part and which have no institutionalized and permanent interactive mechanisms) are also very important, but auxiliary.. The specific features of the informal processes and their interaction with the formal processes are analyzed in detail. Recommendations towards efficient use of the positive aspects of informal communications for raising the overall effectiveness of scientific communication system are offered.. .X 105 1 1111 132 1 1111 161 1 1111 166 1 1111 616 1 1111 771 1 1111 808 1 1111 1095 1 1111 1097 1 1111 1102 1 1111 1109 1 1111 1111 5 1111 1114 1 1111 1115 1 1111 1123 1 1111 1125 1 1111 1174 1 1111 1285 1 1111 1355 1 1111 1446 1 1111 1447 1 1111 1447 1 1111 .I 1112 .T State System of Scientific and Technical Information: Results and Prospects .A Aruntunov, N.B. .W Some results of State information system activity for the past year are considered..

I. .W The author gives a general definition of the IR thesaurus and outlines its inner structure.. He describes a procedure of accumulating the body of keywords which is required to compile the vocabulary of descriptors.. An attempt is made to determine how the rate of keyword accumulation depends on the number of abstracts' titles processed and in what way the volume of descriptor vocabulary is related to the number of documents indexed.. General rules are given for lexicographic processing of the keywords accumulated and for compiling of the descriptor vocabulary.. The algorithm has been constructed which is designed to generate the article of each descriptor in the thesaurus.. To construct this algorithm the author analyzed the results of word-association tests and selected 5 most important types of paradigmatic relations.. He formulates the basic rules for translation of the texts describing the main subject content of the documents and of the users' requests from a natural language into the IR language of descriptors.. (The block diagram of algorithm for translation of these texts is also given..) In conclusion the author describes general principles of lexicographic editing of the above mentioned texts.. .X 25 1 1118 26 1 1118 29 1 1118 30 1 1118 34 1 1118 53 1 1118 68 2 1118 69 1 1118 77 1 1118 78 1 1118 79 1 1118 151 2 1118 168 1 1118 175 3 1118 179 1 1118 261 1 1118 317 1 1118 320 1 1118 346 1 1118 382 1 1118 420 1 1118 458 1 1118 476 1 1118 477 1 1118 478 1 1118 479 1 1118 480 1 1118 484 1 1118 485 1 1118 504 1 1118 539 1 1118 558 1 1118 566 1 1118 595 1 1118 664 1 1118 680 1 1118 704 1 1118 711 1 1118 712 1 1118 760 1 1118 769 1 1118 773 1 1118 781 1 1118 790 1 1118 798 3 1118 889 1 1118 1046 1 1118 1117 1 1118 1118 37 1118 1122 1 1118 1123 1 1118 1124 3 1118 1125 1 1118 1127 1 1118 1131 1 1118 1132 1 1118 1133 1 1118 1134 1 1118 1135 1 1118 1139 1 1118 1141 1 1118 1161 1 1118 1162 1 1118 1163 1 1118 1175 2 1118 1179 1 1118 1190 1 1118 1226 1 1118 1228 1 1118 1281 1 1118 1326 1 1118 1327 1 1118 1381 1 1118 1382 3 1118 1388 1 1118 1399 1 1118 1443 1 1118 1448 1 1118 1448 1 1118 .I 1119 .T Axiomatic Relevance Tolerance Theory .A Yakubovich, S.

I. Margaritov, V. B. .W The results are described of research and development activities of the Mechanized Information Retrieval Laboratory of the NIITEKHIM.. Research Institute aimed towards creating a descriptor language for an information retrieval system in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering.. The objectives of an optimum reduction of retrieval noise and maximum recall have required the introduction of grammatical and transformational devices into the language.. The former condition is provided for by a matrix notation of document search patterns and requests, while the latter condition is met with the help of the transformational devices of the language.. Examples of search requests and patterns are considered, which illustrate the "resolution" of the grammatical and transformational devices being developed.. These are said largely to eliminate subjectiveness in assigning relational factors in search patterns and requests.. The relevancy criterion is formulated.. A retrieval algorithm based on this criterion has been compiled.. Experimental searches were conducted on a Minsk-22 computer.. The results were analyzed to evaluate the grammatical and transformational devices and to verify indexing principles devised for the automated retrieval system under development.. Factors of "silence" are discussed, as well as the contribution of the grammatical and transformational devices to reducing noise and enhancing recall.. .X 1120 5 1120 1120 5 1120 .I 1121 .T The Outlook of Cybernetic and Computer Applications in the National System of Scientific and Technical Information .A Mamontov, O.

I. .W The methods and results of an endeavor to develop an information retrieval language for automatic retrieval systems meant for handling a polytechnical document collection are described.. The descriptor dictionary includes general and special terms, both single-word and phrase terms, which is conducive to higher recall and relevance; it comprises a classified index and a lexico-semantic index as well as tables of generic relations.. The size of the dictionary is 5,542 descriptors and 3,073 keywords.. The indexing procedure includes: analysis of document content and its characterization by keywords elicited from natural text; and creation of the search pattern using the descriptor dictionary.. The techniques are described which are applied to analyze the documents into semantic aspects that constitute the elements of the formalized model of a document's condensed content.. The procedure employed to translate a text into the retrieval language comprises selection of words both from the title and the body of the document.. Main principles for retrieval efficiency determination using mathematical-statistic methods are given.. Tests on multi-subject collections show a probability of 85-% recall and 70-% relevance at a standard deviation of 25%.. These findings have been corroborated by the results of the basic experiment on a file of up to 2,500 search patterns using 42 requests.. Among the factors of losses there are the poor quality of abstracts (into cards) and the absence of a single abstracting procedure; it is proposed that abstractors should be in future charged with writing abstracts in keywords and, ultimately, in the descriptor language.. The experimental results attest to the feasibility and practical sensibility of creating a multi-disciplinary information retrieval system to be based on a broad-scope descriptor dictionary and on the suggested methods for document and request indexing.. .X 68 1 1124 77 1 1124 78 1 1124 79 1 1124 420 1 1124 458 1 1124 595 1 1124 712 1 1124 790 1 1124 1118 3 1124 1124 5 1124 1131 1 1124 1165 2 1124 1167 1 1124 1382 1 1124 1382 1 1124 .I 1125 .T A Contribution to the Theory of the Systems of Information Flows .A Kozachkov, L.

The structure of the taxons described by a given classification is treated as the referent (the denotate).. The formation of taxons is shown to be connected with the preliminary arrangement of the subject area into a classification field.. The classification concept is connected with the structure and nature of the classification characteristics..

It is shown that with the accuracy of up to isomorphism, the structure of a classification is characterized by a certain semigroup.. For an important type of classifications, the algebraic structure of these semigroups is completely characterized by the relation of order on the set of generants.. The case of "perfect order" on the generants corresponds to hierarchical (tree) classifications.. The case of "incomparability" of the generants corresponds to facet classifications.. All the other cases are "intermediate" between these two types of classification.. .X 25 1 1141 151 1 1141 362 1 1141 455 1 1141 504 1 1141 773 1 1141 798 1 1141 1117 2 1141 1118 1 1141 1119 1 1141 1122 1 1141 1123 1 1141 1133 1 1141 1137 3 1141 1138 1 1141 1140 3 1141 1141 6 1141 1169 1 1141 1220 1 1141 1226 1 1141 1267 1 1141 1409 1 1141 1459 1 1141 1459 1 1141 .I 1142 .T Science on science - Introduction to a general science of science .A Dobrov, G.M. .W This book generalizes world and soviet experience of science, gives original representation of science as informational process which allows one to use quantitative methods in scientometrics, analyzes extensive data on the experience of formulating scientific potential and organizing scientific work, formulates general principles of organization, management and disposition of modern scientific centers.

Consideration is first given to indexes compiled by or with the aid of machines, including citation indexes. Automatic derivative indexing is exemplified by key-word-in-context (KWIC) and other word- in-context techniques. Advantages, disadvantages, and possibilities for modification and improvement are discussed. Experiments in automatic assignment indexing are summarized. Related research efforts in such areas as automatic classification and categorization, computer use of thesauri, statistical association techniques, and linguistic data processing are described. A major question is that of evaluation, particularly in view of evidence of human inter-indexer inconsistency. It is concluded that indexes based on words extracted from text are practical for many purposes today, and that automatic assignment indexing and classification experiments show promise for future progress. .X 26 1 1144 38 2 1144 39 1 1144 52 1 1144 77 1 1144 78 1 1144 149 1 1144 150 1 1144 168 1 1144 174 2 1144 175 4 1144 273 1 1144 315 1 1144 324 1 1144 331 1 1144 336 1 1144 382 1 1144 419 1 1144 420 1 1144 455 1 1144 479 1 1144 483 1 1144 485 1 1144 498 1 1144 501 1 1144 503 1 1144 562 1 1144 564 1 1144 565 1 1144 576 1 1144 583 1 1144 586 1 1144 589 2 1144 603 1 1144 608 1 1144 643 1 1144 657 1 1144 660 1 1144 661 1 1144 662 1 1144 663 1 1144 664 1 1144 722 1 1144 769 1 1144 824 1 1144 830 1 1144 925 1 1144 1080 1 1144 1144 12 1144 1195 1 1144 1207 1 1144 1283 1 1144 1294 2 1144 1327 1 1144 1421 1 1144 1421 1 1144 .I 1145 .T Neighborhood Information Centers A Study and Some Proposals .A Kahn, A.J. .W Our point of departure is a study of the feasibility and desirability of adapting the British Citizens' Advice Bureau (CAB) plan to the United States, carried out with the financial support and cooperation of the Ford Foundation. We conclude that the British CAB pattern, while creative, richly implicative and a major source of valuable guidance, if merely duplicated would not make the optimum contribution to the current American scene. We find overwhelming evidence that new information, advice, referral provision are necessary. Localities need and want Neighborhood Information Centers (NIC's). We find promising beginnings and a number of attractive possibilities emerging out of the somewhat different efforts by a number of federal agencies, local government and local voluntary groups. However, no one of these provides auspices for all the needed functions in accord with qualities which we find to be essential. .X 239 2 1145 248 1 1145 358 2 1145 376 1 1145 470 1 1145 781 1 1145 910 2 1145 935 1 1145 946 2 1145 1005 2 1145 1006 1 1145 1017 1 1145 1018 1 1145 1032 1 1145 1049 1 1145 1056 2 1145 1145 8 1145 1227 3 1145 1240 1 1145 1384 2 1145 1396 1 1145 1396 1 1145 .I 1146 .T Networks for Research and Education .A Greenberger, M. .W Responding to the heightened interest in the possibilities of networks, and reflecting its own continuing interest in improving the use of new technologies in research and education, the National Science Foundation in 1972 announced the mounting of "an expanded research program . . . to explore . . . the resource-sharing potential of a national network in support of research and education."

Ratcliff, W.W. .W In a ongoing study designed in part to evaluate and encourage continuing education programs in community hospitals Postgraduate Medical Institute (PMI) has determined that there is need for guidance in the area of medical-library development. Reports from PMI physician consultants who visited more than 40 community hospitals indicate that medical-library facilities are generally poor and infrequently used by physicians. The basic weaknesses of these libraries fall into four categories: inadequate collections, inadequate personnel, inadequate space, and the absence of any practical indexing system to facilitate use of collections that do exist. Failure to deal with these problems does not reflect lack of interest but rather lack of stimulation to do so and absence of any concerted source of guidance. In response to requests for such guidance PMI has undertaken a community hospital library development project in co-operation with the New England Regional Medical Library Service (NERMLS) at the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine. This report is concerned with the first phase of this project - namely, the formulation of a list consisting of a minimal number of textbooks and journals that can function as the core for a medical library. Explanatory letters and questionnaires were sent to 400 specialists representing 50 areas of medical practice, including the basic sciences. The specialists, chosen from regions throughout the country, were requested to recommend two textbooks and two journals in their area of special interest that they considered to be the most basic and fundamentally useful for practitioners. It was also requested that recommendations be made in order of preference. .X 41 2 1147 87 2 1147 172 1 1147 189 1 1147 195 1 1147 196 6 1147 198 1 1147 199 1 1147 203 1 1147 211 1 1147 214 1 1147 215 2 1147 216 1 1147 217 1 1147 218 1 1147 219 1 1147 220 1 1147 221 1 1147 359 1 1147 415 5 1147 552 1 1147 891 1 1147 905 1 1147 949 1 1147 1030 1 1147 1071 5 1147 1085 1 1147 1086 1 1147 1090 1 1147 1147 14 1147 1275 1 1147 1302 2 1147 1352 1 1147 1397 1 1147 1397 1 1147 .I 1148 .T The New Industrial State .A Galbraith, J.K. .W During the fifties and sixties it had become customary to depict the economic system of the United States, along with its European and Japanese counterparts, as an accomplishment unique since the Creation. This volume departed from the accustomed cheering. It is my impression that the adult reader was always more skeptical than the economists of the neo-Keynesian nirvana. Economic life was not meant to be that easy. And perhaps some sensed what I here urge, that what was called success was less what served the individual than what served the goals of great industrial and military bureaucracies which had come, the economic myth notwithstanding, to comprise so large a part of the economic system. Still, who could tell that a herald of such news would be welcomed - or even heard. .X 22 1 1148 74 1 1148 83 1 1148 169 1 1148 245 1 1148 273 1 1148 279 1 1148 288 1 1148 331 1 1148 381 1 1148 408 1 1148 490 1 1148 496 1 1148 591 1 1148 592 1 1148 723 1 1148 724 1 1148 834 1 1148 860 1 1148 925 1 1148 957 1 1148 976 1 1148 1148 6 1148 1227 3 1148 1317 1 1148 1336 1 1148 1353 1 1148 1359 1 1148 1360 1 1148 1400 1 1148 1406 1 1148 1410 1 1148 1424 1 1148 1424 1 1148 .I 1149 .T The New Librarianship A Challenge for Change .A Wasserman, P. .W Among the avenues explored were the following: the attractions the field holds for those now in it and those who might be drawn to it; the personality of those in the occupation and in its various subfields and work roles; the characteristics and perspectives of the institutional administrators; supply and demand facets of the manpower problem; organizational relationships in libraries and information centers; library education as a professionalizing and socializing force; and the implications of network development for manpower planning. Central to the study rationale was the notion that librarianship should be viewed not as a static institution committed solely to traditional objectives, but as one with the capacity to be responsive to changing environmental requirements. It was hoped that from the intelligence gathered from these inquiries certain of the significant dimensions of the field's manpower concerns would be illuminated and proposals to influence future development would be drawn. Thus, while the investigations were in the nature of more basic research, their ends were committedly pragmatic. .X 957 1 1149 959 1 1149 962 1 1149 1005 1 1149 1018 1 1149 1149 5 1149 1333 1 1149 1333 1 1149 .I 1150 .T New Patterns of Management .A Mityaev, V.A. .W This volume is intended for persons concerned with the problems of organizing human resources and activity. It is written especially for those who are actively engaged in management and supervision and for students of administration and organization. It presents a new theory of organization based on the management principles and practices of the managers; who are achieving the best results in American business and government. It draws also upon research done in voluntary organizations. To maintain a relatively consistent orientation, the focus of this volume is largely on the problems of business enterprises. People interested in other kinds of institutions, such as schools, hospitals, labor unions, professional and voluntary organizations, should, however, experience no difficulty in applying the general principles of the theory to their organizations. .X 172 1 1150 173 1 1150 227 1 1150 270 1 1150 272 1 1150 283 1 1150 285 1 1150 293 1 1150 296 1 1150 301 1 1150 401 1 1150 418 2 1150 426 1 1150 1015 2 1150 1065 1 1150 1070 2 1150 1150 11 1150 1186 2 1150 1187 1 1150 1233 1 1150 1268 1 1150 1321 2 1150 1333 1 1150 1362 1 1150 1454 2 1150 1455 1 1150 1455 1 1150 .I 1151 .T Unintentional Duplication of Research A survey revealing instances of belated discovery of information in the literature leads to an estimate of what duplication costs .A Martyn, J. .W In a letter in New Scientist (vol. 19, p. 148) the rate of duplication of research among scientists was said to have been estimated at about 10 per cent. The first systematic attempt to assess the size of this problem, carried out by the Aslib Research Department, suggests the actual figure is more than double this, and the consequent cost to the nation to be measurable in millions of pounds. We put questions to 647 scientists engaged in industrial, academic or government research, including chemists, physicists, biologists, psychologists and mathematicians. One question was: "Have you, during your current research, discovered in the literature information which you wish you had had at the beginning of your project?" To this, 144 of them (22 per cent) replied that they had. Many had made more than one such find, so that the total number of instances was 245. .X 2 1 1151 32 1 1151 33 1 1151 36 1 1151 40 1 1151 83 1 1151 90 1 1151 147 1 1151 150 1 1151 161 1 1151 183 1 1151 184 1 1151 193 1 1151 199 1 1151 201 1 1151 202 1 1151 203 1 1151 204 1 1151 205 1 1151 209 1 1151 212 1 1151 217 1 1151 220 1 1151 222 1 1151 284 1 1151 286 1 1151 294 1 1151 369 1 1151 382 1 1151 465 1 1151 543 1 1151 588 1 1151 613 1 1151 624 1 1151 717 1 1151 771 1 1151 782 1 1151 799 1 1151 800 1 1151 808 1 1151 959 1 1151 1068 1 1151 1089 1 1151 1151 9 1151 1361 1 1151 1361 1 1151 .I 1152 .T Non-book Materials: The Organization of Integrated Collections .A Weihs, J.R. .B 1970 .W This book presupposes a knowledge of book cataloguing and basic cataloguing principles. The Dewey decimal classification 9th abridged edition, Sears list of subject headings 9th edition, and A list of Canadian subject headings together with a form of simplified cataloguing found in many school libraries have been used on the sample cards. It must be emphasized that the subject analysis systems chosen by a particular library for its print collection should be used for all media. Because of its school library orientation, this book distinguishes between essential and optional elements on the catalogue card. Libraries which require detailed cataloguing will consistently list these options, and may wish to augment the description of materials in the collation and in the notes. Items necessary for a minimum description and for a complete description will be subject to further study prior to the next edition of this work. .X 16 1 1152 63 1 1152 175 1 1152 231 1 1152 235 2 1152 250 1 1152 289 1 1152 348 1 1152 352 1 1152 383 1 1152 389 1 1152 390 1 1152 404 1 1152 487 1 1152 502 1 1152 579 1 1152 596 1 1152 600 1 1152 601 2 1152 799 1 1152 805 1 1152 807 1 1152 848 1 1152 863 2 1152 864 2 1152 897 1 1152 911 1 1152 956 1 1152 963 1 1152 987 1 1152 988 1 1152 989 1 1152 995 1 1152 1152 8 1152 1153 1 1152 1265 1 1152 1294 1 1152 1327 1 1152 1392 1 1152 1392 1 1152 .I 1153 .T Nonbook Materials: The Organization of Integrated Collections .A Weihs, J.R. .B 1973 .W Many segments of society are recognizing that access to information is a vital and fundamental contemporary need. To provide optimum access it is essential to be able to retrieve information in whatever physical format it is found. Such retrieval requires the development of cataloguing codes that will handle all media, including diverse kinds of audio and visual materials. To be most effective these cataloguing guidelines should be acceptable on an international level and should have the support of professional organizations most concerned with these problems. .X 92 1 1153 141 1 1153 231 1 1153 235 1 1153 246 1 1153 247 1 1153 299 1 1153 326 1 1153 333 2 1153 352 1 1153 522 1 1153 530 1 1153 627 1 1153 628 1 1153 873 1 1153 874 1 1153 875 1 1153 876 1 1153 892 1 1153 941 1 1153 950 1 1153 991 1 1153 992 1 1153 994 1 1153 995 2 1153 996 1 1153 997 2 1153 998 1 1153 1000 1 1153 1079 1 1153 1152 1 1153 1153 12 1153 1189 2 1153 1216 1 1153 1251 1 1153 1266 1 1153 1351 1 1153 1395 1 1153 1396 1 1153 1420 1 1153 1434 1 1153 1435 1 1153 1441 1 1153 1442 1 1153 1442 1 1153 .I 1154 .T Nonparametric Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences .A Siegel, S. .W In this book I have presented the tests according to the research design for which each is suited.

It is suggested that the concept of genres of scientific-technical literature be introduced, based on the degree to which the material is generalized. Five basic genres are examined: technical reports, articles, monographs, text- books and reference works.

A descriptor language is conceived as a complex comprising a thesaurus for terminology control, classifiers for nomenclature control, and the working dictionaries of the system patrons, which comprise fragments of thesaurus and classifiers plus narrowly specialized terms as conforming to the file and user needs concerned.. Requirements to a thesaurus as the core of an information network language are considered.. .X 38 1 1171 180 1 1171 1171 5 1171 1171 5 1171 .I 1172 .T A Statistical Analysis of Published Articles on Electrical and Power Engineering .A Gorkova, V.

The identity of the mathematical essence of various distributions, investigated by many authors on their own objects of study, is shown.. The link is considered between the basic probability distribution and some problems studied in the modern mathematical theory of information..

L. .W A standard format of progress reports is suggested, based on the experience of research institutes and drawing offices.. The schedule of reports and each of their sections proceed from the need for maximum "noise-resistance" of reports as used by various categories of users and giving an exhaustive description of final and intermediate R&D results.. The author shows that the difference between the notion of "information value" and of "document value" dictates a specific approach to organization of the flows of documentary information, duplication of data in documents of various kind, and to development of the logical format and literary style of scientific documents.. .X 33 1 1174 789 1 1174 808 1 1174 1097 2 1174 1109 1 1174 1111 1 1174 1122 1 1174 1123 1 1174 1125 1 1174 1160 1 1174 1172 1 1174 1174 5 1174 1176 1 1174 1285 1 1174 1285 1 1174 .I 1175 .T Syntagmatic Relations Between Descriptors .A Chernyi, A.I. .W Syntagmatic relations (SR) are defined as connections between words that are established aposteriori and combine these words into phrases and sentences.. The lack of means for recording SR in descriptor languages results in a reduction of retrieval precision.. At present, roles and links and the evaluation of the extent to which these devices are used are the major devices used for the description of SR between descriptors in documents' search patterns.. An analysis of published results of experiments testing the performance of roles and links in 176 descriptor retrieval systems operative in the USA suggests the conclusion about a poor performance of roles as a precision device: an increase of 10 percent in precision with the aid of roles is accompanied by a 10 percent reduction of recall.. Links provide for approximately the same increase of precision.. The author states the general requirements to a simple and flexible grammar for descriptor languages, and show that the approach the suggest ts has been partially implemented in the information retrieval language for radioelectronics and computer technology developed at the Institute of Cybernetics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kiev, and in the SYNTOL (France).. .X 29 1 1175 68 1 1175 69 1 1175 119 1 1175 151 1 1175 175 1 1175 261 1 1175 346 1 1175 382 1 1175 388 1 1175 458 2 1175 476 1 1175 477 1 1175 478 1 1175 479 1 1175 480 1 1175 484 1 1175 485 1 1175 566 1 1175 680 1 1175 704 1 1175 761 1 1175 781 1 1175 798 1 1175 1118 2 1175 1163 1 1175 1175 5 1175 1175 5 1175 .I 1176 .T Techinical Bibliographies in Metallurgy .A Gedrimovich, G.

It is necessary to give a definition of "information crisis", this widely used concept in informatics and the science of science.. The author suggests one such definition, which reflects the specific historical nature of the possible manifestations of the crisis.. The "cumulativistic" concept of the progress of science is criticized as it rules out the possibility of finding the true causes of the information crisis.. The major cause is asserted to lie with the nature of the contemporary social production..

Bradford, discussed certain regularities in the pattern of distribution of articles on a particular subject over different journals. He gives as examples the distributions for geophysics from 1928-31 inclusive and lubrication for 1931 to June, 1933, inclusive. The typical picture is one in which, to a bibliography covering a certain short term of years, a few journals contribute a large number of articles, more journals contribute fewer and so on in a monotonic sequence ending with a large number of journals contributing one article each. Patterns of this kind have been observed by several authors, but Bradford was the first, I think, to advance an explanation of the effect in bibliographical terms. .X 19 1 1182 37 1 1182 39 1 1182 40 1 1182 47 1 1182 88 1 1182 97 1 1182 102 1 1182 103 1 1182 162 1 1182 233 2 1182 253 1 1182 313 1 1182 359 5 1182 377 1 1182 379 2 1182 395 1 1182 416 2 1182 505 3 1182 515 1 1182 560 1 1182 573 2 1182 616 1 1182 618 1 1182 632 1 1182 635 1 1182 667 1 1182 748 5 1182 749 1 1182 751 3 1182 759 4 1182 764 1 1182 765 5 1182 776 1 1182 777 1 1182 778 6 1182 782 1 1182 791 2 1182 804 2 1182 805 1 1182 893 2 1182 952 1 1182 1016 2 1182 1061 1 1182 1076 1 1182 1083 2 1182 1085 3 1182 1086 2 1182 1087 1 1182 1090 1 1182 1097 1 1182 1098 1 1182 1114 1 1182 1122 1 1182 1157 1 1182 1168 1 1182 1172 1 1182 1173 1 1182 1182 10 1182 1200 1 1182 1201 1 1182 1226 1 1182 1274 1 1182 1277 1 1182 1278 1 1182 1280 1 1182 1287 1 1182 1301 1 1182 1302 1 1182 1304 1 1182 1313 1 1182 1338 1 1182 1344 1 1182 1347 1 1182 1380 1 1182 1381 2 1182 1418 1 1182 1428 1 1182 1444 1 1182 1444 1 1182 .I 1183 .T Operations Research: Implications for Libraries .A Bookstein, A. Swanson, D.R. .W Library operations in recent times have been characterized by a great increase in complexity. The rapid expansion of collections, both in size and scope, the great variety of forms taken by items that now must be housed in the library, and the growth in expectations among library users are among the factors that have contributed to this complexity. In this setting, managerial decision making in the library has become an unenviably difficult task. Furthermore, the new technologies and new techniques which offer great opportunities for library planners and managers make even more difficult the use of traditional, intuitive approaches. It is reasonable to ask whether techniques such as Operations Research (O. R.) that have proved valuable in similar situations for business and government, might not also be of service in libraries. .X 279 1 1183 288 1 1183 304 1 1183 951 1 1183 975 1 1183 976 1 1183 1183 6 1183 1360 1 1183 1360 1 1183 .I 1184 .T Compact Book Storage in Libraries .A Leimkuhler, Ferdinand F. .A Cox, J. Grady .W A method is developed for optimally shelving inventory items by size, with particular reference to large library collections.. The area presented by n+1 distinct shelf heights is minimized for any collection that can be characterized by an item-height distribution.. When item-height is continuous, the necessary conditions for the extremum are recursive in the optimal shelf heights, and the solution reduces to a simple computational search.. For certain distribution functions, as demonstrated in the example, an additional recursive relation between the solutions for different n further simplified the computation considerable.. Geometrical representations of both the model and the solution method are presented.. The maximum increase in storage capacity can be expressed generally as a simple function of the mean and the maximum item-height.. .X 62 1 1184 67 1 1184 245 1 1184 267 1 1184 278 1 1184 435 1 1184 515 1 1184 654 1 1184 925 1 1184 1184 5 1184 1187 1 1184 1317 1 1184 1417 1 1184 1417 1 1184 .I 1185 .T Experimentation in the Theory of Linguistic Description .A Melchuk, I.A. .W The principle tool for the study and description of natural languages used in this book are working models of the type "Sense <-> Text". The similar model for a given actual language is a completely organized sum of rules whose purely mechanical application should ideally allow one to: 1) go from the given text in the language being studied to the formal description of the sense of that text, i.e., to its semantic representation (= semantic notation) 2) go from a given meaning, i.e., from a given semantic representation to a text (in the language being studied) which will convey the same meaning. If the proposed meaning may be expressed in more than one way, then all the appropriate synonymous texts should be constructed. .X 1129 1 1185 1185 5 1185 1427 1 1185 1427 1 1185 .I 1186 .T Organization and Environment Managing Differentiation and Integration .A Lawrence, Paul R. .A Lorsch,Jay W. .W What organizational characteristics are required to deal effectively with different external market and technological conditions? This is the central question which this book addresses.. Such a question is quite different from the central theme of most earlier organizational studies, which have tended to focus on the question of what is the one best way to organize, irrespective of the external environmental conditions facing the business.. In this important respect this study breaks new ground.. Nevertheless, it draws heavily on earlier studies in the field of organization behavior at Harvard Business School and elsewhere, as well as the related literature of the behavioral sciences.. The authors not only report the findings of a comparative study of ten organizations with different levels of economic performance in three distinct industrial environments, but also use these findings to unravel some of the apparent contradictions in current organization theory.. A discussion of the implications of these findings for the design and administration of large organizations in relation to their specific market and technological environments is also included.. .X 15 2 1186 105 1 1186 139 1 1186 173 1 1186 227 1 1186 272 1 1186 298 1 1186 356 1 1186 418 1 1186 560 1 1186 1048 1 1186 1070 1 1186 1150 2 1186 1186 9 1186 1187 2 1186 1188 1 1186 1240 1 1186 1320 1 1186 1321 1 1186 1333 2 1186 1362 1 1186 1384 1 1186 1408 1 1186 1408 1 1186 .I 1187 .T Organizations .A March, J.G. .W This book is about the theory of formal organizations. It is easier, and probably more useful, to give examples of formal organizations than to define the term. The United States Steel Corporation is a formal organization; so is the Red Cross, the corner grocery store, the New York State Highway Department. The latter organization is, of course, part of a larger one - the New York State government. But for present purposes we need not trouble ourselves about the precise boundaries to be drawn around an organization or the exact distinction between an "organization" and a "nonorganization." We are dealing with empirical phenomena, and the world has an uncomfortable way of not permitting itself to be fitted into clean classifications. Authors are often convinced that the particular subjects with which they are dealing are more significant than the world has acknowledged. We cheerfully make this claim for organization theory. However much organizations occupy the thoughts of practicing executives and administrators, and however many books for these practitioners have been written about them, the theory of organizations occupies an insignificant place in modern social science. Most current psychology and sociology textbooks do not devote even a short chapter to the subject of formal organizations. The Handbook of Social Psychology (Lindzey, 1954) contains chapters on small groups, mass media, "industrial social psychology" (with only passing references to organizations), leadership, and voting behavior. There is no comparable chapter on formal organizations, and only scattered reference to them throughout the text. .X 15 1 1187 39 1 1187 61 1 1187 62 2 1187 67 3 1187 83 1 1187 100 1 1187 120 1 1187 139 1 1187 173 1 1187 227 1 1187 292 1 1187 312 1 1187 343 1 1187 356 2 1187 418 1 1187 435 1 1187 436 1 1187 437 1 1187 584 1 1187 965 1 1187 1036 1 1187 1037 1 1187 1041 1 1187 1070 1 1187 1150 1 1187 1154 1 1187 1184 1 1187 1186 2 1187 1187 8 1187 1333 2 1187 1406 1 1187 1408 1 1187 1416 1 1187 1417 1 1187 1417 1 1187 .I 1188 .T Organizations in Action Social Science Bases of Administrative Theory .A Thompson, J.D. .W This book might be considered a conceptual inventory. This is a departure from the recent fashion of conducting "propositional inventories," which assumes that important relationships have already been explored (Berelson and Steiner, 1964). I assume merely that the concepts relevant to important relationships exist, and once having identified some, I hope to generate potentially significant propositions. We lack the systematic evidence that eventually must come, but there are illustrative studies cited to indicate that the propositions which are neither time- nor space-bound. I assume that there are differences among organizations, and hope to account for some of them. But I also assume that there is not a one- to-one correspondence between significant organizational differences and the typical categories of business, government, medicine, and education. Likewise, I believe there is not a direct correlation between the academic disciplines and useful categories of complex organizations. .X 15 1 1188 105 1 1188 214 1 1188 218 1 1188 227 1 1188 250 1 1188 340 1 1188 348 1 1188 375 1 1188 560 1 1188 855 1 1188 986 1 1188 1012 1 1188 1036 1 1188 1041 1 1188 1048 1 1188 1154 1 1188 1186 1 1188 1188 5 1188 1379 1 1188 1408 1 1188 1408 1 1188 .I 1189 .T Organizing Nonprint Material .A Daily, T.E. .W The object of this book is to establish a means for organizing collections of nonprint material so that greatest efficiency can match most effective service. No lesser goal is worthy of consideration. In discussing the problems of organization, the examples of material have been used to explain differences in treatment that can be made responsive to the needs of the community that the library serves. Nonprint material is a vital part of a modern library of whatever type.

However, a basic library bibliographic file should be organized to yield a record unequal and dissimilar to all others. Such a file is analogous to the familiar main entry catalog, which every library maintains, and would have associated with it supplementary index files of subjects, titles, call numbers, and perhaps other attributes. .X 90 1 1197 281 1 1197 348 1 1197 601 1 1197 835 3 1197 836 2 1197 851 6 1197 862 2 1197 863 1 1197 868 4 1197 869 2 1197 871 1 1197 872 1 1197 981 1 1197 984 1 1197 1013 1 1197 1196 4 1197 1197 9 1197 1197 9 1197 .I 1198 .T Proceedings.

Newill, V. A. .W It is pointed out that communication processes can be represented as epidemic processes.. Consequently, epidemic theory can be applied to the study of any process in which information is transmitted within a population.. The members of such populations need not be human beings but could be micro-organisms or even machines.. The fundamental notion of stability of an epidemic process is introduced and a stability theorem is derived.. A mechanism, called an information retrieval process, which instigates an epidemic process is defined, certain general properties of the mechanism are established and the means of controlling it are discussed.. Pontryagin's maximum principle is applied to the problem of achieving optimal control of an epidemic process and it is shown that stability of the process is equivalent to stability in the sense of Lyapunov.. This result makes it possible to determine the conditions for stability without knowledge of the solution of the differential equations which represent the process.. .X 29 1 1201 35 1 1201 36 1 1201 39 1 1201 42 1 1201 43 1 1201 44 1 1201 57 2 1201 58 1 1201 70 1 1201 76 1 1201 81 1 1201 84 1 1201 144 1 1201 162 1 1201 184 1 1201 193 1 1201 195 1 1201 201 1 1201 203 1 1201 204 1 1201 205 1 1201 233 1 1201 267 1 1201 359 3 1201 379 1 1201 395 1 1201 416 1 1201 444 2 1201 445 2 1201 447 1 1201 449 1 1201 474 1 1201 486 1 1201 505 1 1201 532 1 1201 587 1 1201 625 1 1201 660 1 1201 667 2 1201 748 3 1201 750 1 1201 751 1 1201 753 1 1201 759 2 1201 762 1 1201 764 1 1201 765 3 1201 767 1 1201 778 4 1201 787 2 1201 791 2 1201 792 1 1201 793 1 1201 800 2 1201 893 2 1201 1016 2 1201 1030 1 1201 1045 2 1201 1081 4 1201 1082 3 1201 1083 6 1201 1084 2 1201 1085 4 1201 1086 3 1201 1088 3 1201 1182 1 1201 1195 1 1201 1201 14 1201 1222 1 1201 1227 1 1201 1235 1 1201 1270 1 1201 1274 1 1201 1278 1 1201 1281 1 1201 1285 4 1201 1380 1 1201 1401 1 1201 1417 1 1201 1418 1 1201 1444 1 1201 1444 1 1201 .I 1202 .T Pattern Classification and Scene Analysis .A Duda, R.O. .W Our purpose in writing this book has been to give a systematic account of major topics in pattern recognition, a field concerned with machine recognition of meaningful regularities in noisy or complex environments. The most prominent domain-independent theory is classification theory, the subject of Part I of this book. Based on statistical decision theory, it provides formal mathematical procedures for classifying patterns once they have been represented abstractly as vectors. Attempts to find domain-independent procedures for constructing these vector representations have not yielded generally useful results. Instead, every problem area has acquired a collection of procedures suited to its special characteristics. Of the many areas of interest, the pictorial domain has received by far the most attention. Furthermore, work in this area has progressed from picture classification to picture analysis and description. Part II of this book is devoted to a systematic presentation of these topics in visual scene analysis. .X 72 1 1202 160 1 1202 441 1 1202 448 1 1202 462 1 1202 518 1 1202 558 1 1202 568 1 1202 572 1 1202 575 1 1202 577 1 1202 628 1 1202 660 2 1202 706 1 1202 795 1 1202 890 1 1202 1044 1 1202 1202 8 1202 1218 1 1202 1282 1 1202 1282 1 1202 .I 1203 .T Patterns in the Use of books in Large Research Libraries .A Fussler, H.H. .W The accumulative growth, without limit in ultimate size, of the general research library must produce stresses and strains that many institutions will find difficult to resolve.

Librarianship was not immune: there was more work to be done than existing staffs could do; there were budgeted professional vacancies that could not be filled. And, concurrently, there were concerns being quietly expressed that some of the shortages could be ameliorated by a changed utilization of existing manpower. It was at this time and out of these concerns that Julius R. Chitwood, then president of the Illinois Library Association, appointed an ad hoc Committee on Manpower Training and Utilization to study patterns of staff assignments and to recommend to library administrators more effective ways of utilizing professional staff. After examining the use of professional staff in a few libraries, however, it became clear to this committee of volunteer researchers that they could not do the job which needed doing. It was also clear that a need was there, that a small segment of the library manpower problem could be more fully explored, that the results of a serious study in Illinois might have national implications, and that the resources for such a study should be sought. .X 234 1 1206 304 1 1206 306 1 1206 338 1 1206 646 1 1206 647 1 1206 651 1 1206 942 1 1206 943 1 1206 944 1 1206 948 1 1206 1017 1 1206 1049 1 1206 1206 6 1206 1237 1 1206 1378 1 1206 1440 1 1206 1450 1 1206 1453 1 1206 1453 1 1206 .I 1207 .T Technical Information Project .A Kessler, M.

The program went back several years, and AIP was considering a major expansion. The first task faced in such an expansion was to augment the staff so as to be interdisciplinary in physics, computer operations and scientific information. The staff would be able to analyze and extend the studies made at AIP and elsewhere, and would formulate a basic approach. .X 91 1 1208 253 1 1208 429 1 1208 513 1 1208 580 1 1208 582 1 1208 588 1 1208 589 1 1208 603 1 1208 613 1 1208 614 1 1208 618 1 1208 657 1 1208 685 3 1208 686 2 1208 691 2 1208 721 2 1208 722 1 1208 724 1 1208 725 2 1208 765 1 1208 770 1 1208 776 1 1208 958 1 1208 987 1 1208 988 1 1208 1208 5 1208 1209 1 1208 1290 1 1208 1293 1 1208 1299 2 1208 1302 1 1208 1302 1 1208 .I 1209 .T Is Journal Publication Obsolescent? .A Pasternack, S. .W Orderly communication through research journals may be jeopardized by a developing national information system that is beginning to encroach on the domain of the primary publication system.

Analysis of close to a million citations puts Physical Review at the top of the list, but the order changes when we adjust for "impact" and "immediacy." .A Inhaber, H. .W When physicists wish to communicate their work by means of publication, several considerations are weighed before choosing the appropriate journal. There is the matter of audience; of the probable delay between acceptance and publication; of article format (letter, review, standard research report). If the article is potentially controversial, the author may estimate its chances of being accepted by different journals. Considerations of national pride may sway the choice: An author may submit a work to a journal in his own country rather than to one that has a greater circulation and impact but is published in a foreign country. .X 37 1 1210 47 1 1210 48 2 1210 102 1 1210 113 1 1210 167 1 1210 198 1 1210 378 1 1210 503 1 1210 513 1 1210 543 1 1210 614 2 1210 618 1 1210 635 2 1210 638 2 1210 735 1 1210 748 1 1210 753 1 1210 756 1 1210 757 1 1210 787 1 1210 792 1 1210 821 1 1210 831 1 1210 952 2 1210 953 1 1210 1083 1 1210 1210 5 1210 1254 1 1210 1256 1 1210 1260 2 1210 1275 2 1210 1276 1 1210 1278 1 1210 1300 1 1210 1302 4 1210 1308 1 1210 1313 1 1210 1369 1 1210 1373 1 1210 1418 1 1210 1418 1 1210 .I 1211 .T The Planning of Academic and Research Library Buildings .A Metcalf, K.D. .W This volume deals with the planning of academic and research library buildings. Library buildings house library collections of various kinds, chiefly books and other printed matter; seating accommodations and other facilities for library users; quarters for the library staff that acquires, catalogues, and serves the collections; and, in addition, architectural or what is preferably known as non-assignable space. (If there if space left over after caring for the above needs, it is sometimes assigned for other purposes.) .X 7 3 1211 240 1 1211 262 2 1211 353 2 1211 365 1 1211 367 1 1211 969 1 1211 971 1 1211 1028 1 1211 1068 1 1211 1203 1 1211 1211 10 1211 1212 3 1211 1266 2 1211 1424 1 1211 1425 1 1211 1425 1 1211 .I 1212 .T Planning the College and University Library Building: A book for campus planners and architects .A Ellsworth, R.E. .W This book is intended to help campus planners, architects, and librarians in the early stages of the planning process. Three aspects of the problem deserve more careful treatment than they have received. These are: the effects of automation and electronics on planning; the overall organization of service patterns; and, the relevance of other audiovisual learning media. This is a book about the planning process, not the details of all parts of a building. It will not tell you which floor covering is best, which light fixtures to use or which kind of library shelving to buy. These matters are treated in detail by Metcalf. It will, however, try to tell you how to go about solving these and the many other problems planners face. Wherever it seems relevant and proper, I have included sketches to illustrate the point under discussion. For the simplicity of these illustrations, I beg the indulgence of the reader. .X 7 1 1212 240 1 1212 262 2 1212 353 1 1212 365 1 1212 907 1 1212 1028 1 1212 1068 1 1212 1203 1 1212 1211 3 1212 1212 5 1212 1266 2 1212 1424 1 1212 1425 1 1212 1425 1 1212 .I 1213 .T Plans and Structure of Behavior .A Miller, G.A. .W The notion of a Plan that guides behavior is, again not entirely accidentally, quite similar to the notion of a program that guides an electronic computer. In order to discover how to get the Image into motion, therefore, we reviewed once more the cybernetic literature on the analogies between brains and computers, between minds and programs. Our fundamental concern, however, was to discover whether the cybernetic ideas have any relevance for psychology. The men who have pioneered in this area have been remarkably innocent about psychology - the creatures whose behavior they want to simulate often seem more like a mathematician's dream than like living animals. But in spite of all the evidence, we refused to believe that ignorance of psychology is a cybernetic prerequisite or even an advantage. There must be some way to phrase the new ideas so that they can contribute to and profit from the science of behavior that psychologists have created. It was the search for that favorable intersection that directed the course of our year-long debate. .X 66 1 1213 75 1 1213 168 1 1213 211 1 1213 572 1 1213 586 1 1213 590 1 1213 1035 1 1213 1045 1 1213 1046 1 1213 1047 1 1213 1213 5 1213 1389 1 1213 1443 1 1213 1443 1 1213 .I 1214 .T The Practice of Management .A Drucker, P.F. .W We have available today the knowledge and experience needed for the successful practice of management. But there is probably no field of human endeavor where the always tremendous gap between the knowledge and performance of the leaders and the knowledge and performance of the average is wider or more intractable. This book does not exclude from its aims the advancement of the frontier of knowledge; it hopes, indeed, to make some contribution to it. But its first aim is to narrow the gap between what can be done and what is being done, between the leaders in management and the average. .X 4 1 1214 206 1 1214 285 1 1214 293 1 1214 296 1 1214 298 1 1214 301 1 1214 302 1 1214 418 2 1214 768 1 1214 774 1 1214 823 1 1214 842 1 1214 843 1 1214 844 1 1214 925 1 1214 1015 1 1214 1069 2 1214 1070 2 1214 1214 6 1214 1454 1 1214 1454 1 1214 .I 1215 .T PRECIS: a manual of concept analysis and subject indexing .A Austin, D. .W In 1951, the British Bibliography introduced the relatively new technique of chain indexing to British libraries. Twenty years later, with chain procedure established as one of the standard techniques, BNB again pioneered a new approach to subject indexing when it adopted PRECIS from its first issues of 1971. To explain why this change was felt to be necessary, we have to consider these indexing systems in the light of the new approaches to handling bibliographic data which have developed over the past decade of so. Two forces, in particular, have affected both descriptive cataloguing and subject indexing during this period; firstly, the introduction of computers; secondly, and concomitantly, the development of bibliographic data exchange networks, of which MARC is, perhaps, the primary example. In some respects, PRECIS represents a parallel development in the field of subject indexing. Traditionally, indexing systems have also tended to be dominated by the concept of a most significant term which, once identified by the indexer, would be offered as the user's access point to the alphabetical file. This applied most obviously to subject heading systems. A good deal of Cutter's "Rules for a dictionary catalog" is devoted to the problem of identifying this most significant term in a compound heading and presenting it as the user's access point, even when this entailed a distortion of natural language, and the production of inverted headings. The unselected component would then be lost as an entry word, unless the indexer also created a further heading or headings, in which case none of these headings would be co-extensive with the subject of the document. .X 86 1 1215 146 1 1215 160 1 1215 168 2 1215 194 1 1215 258 1 1215 259 1 1215 434 1 1215 445 1 1215 449 1 1215 458 1 1215 478 3 1215 480 4 1215 487 1 1215 530 1 1215 746 2 1215 758 1 1215 781 1 1215 817 2 1215 819 1 1215 824 1 1215 825 7 1215 874 1 1215 880 1 1215 901 1 1215 1024 5 1215 1027 1 1215 1054 1 1215 1061 1 1215 1146 1 1215 1215 19 1215 1230 2 1215 1231 1 1215 1255 1 1215 1265 1 1215 1441 1 1215 1443 1 1215 1448 1 1215 1448 1 1215 .I 1216 .T Prejudices and Antipathies: A tract on the LC subject heads concerning people .A Berman, S. .W Since the first edition of Library of Congress subject headings appeared 60 years ago, American and other libraries have increasingly relied on this list as the chief authority -- if not the sole basis -- for subject cataloging. There can be no quarrel about the practical necessity for such a labor-saving, worry-reducing work, nor--abstractly--about its value as a global standardizing agent, a means for achieving some uniformity in an area that would otherwise be chaotic. Undoubtedly, it is a real boon to scholars, as well as to ordinary readers, to find familiar, fairly constant headings in subject catalogs as far removed geographically as Washington, DC and Lusaka, Zambia. Knowledge and scholarship are, after all, universal. And a subject-scheme should, ideally, manage to encompass all the facets of what has been printed and subsequently collected in libraries to the satisfaction of the worldwide reading community. Should, that is. But in the realm of headings that deal with people and cultures--in short, with humanity--the LC list can only "satisfy" parochial, jingoistic Europeans and North Americans, white-hued, at least nominally Christian (and preferably Protestant) in faith, comfortably situated in the middle and higher-income brackets, largely domiciled in suburbia, fundamentally loyal to the Established Order, and heavily imbued with the transcendent, incomparable glory of Western civilization. Further, it reflects a host of untenable--indeed, obsolete and arrogant--assumptions with respect to young people and women. And exudes something less than sympathy or even fairness toward organized labor and the sexually unorthodox or "avant-garde." .X 79 1 1216 92 2 1216 235 1 1216 246 2 1216 247 1 1216 326 1 1216 333 2 1216 361 1 1216 382 1 1216 449 1 1216 530 1 1216 553 1 1216 608 1 1216 628 1 1216 802 1 1216 819 1 1216 825 2 1216 874 3 1216 877 1 1216 878 1 1216 881 1 1216 883 1 1216 930 1 1216 940 1 1216 941 2 1216 950 2 1216 966 1 1216 978 1 1216 988 1 1216 991 1 1216 992 1 1216 993 1 1216 995 1 1216 997 3 1216 1000 1 1216 1079 2 1216 1153 1 1216 1216 13 1216 1266 2 1216 1395 2 1216 1421 2 1216 1434 1 1216 1435 1 1216 1436 1 1216 1441 1 1216 1441 1 1216 .I 1217 .T Prestige, Class and Mobility .A Svalastoga, K. .W This volume contains the report of a sample survey conducted in Denmark 1953-1954.

The broad topic coverage also should make the text helpful for students who seek careers as teachers and researchers as well as for practitioners who desire an up-to-date review of operations research. The book can be used in half-year or full-year introductory courses for juniors, seniors, or graduates in business, economics, and engineering curricula. The central goal of the book is to answer the question, "What are the fundamental ideas of operations research?"

Semantic text analysis could be described from the point of view of someone with a different "conception of the world" - e.g. the text of very meaningful article does not contain, in fact, any information for people who are not specialists in the given mathematic field. Therefore, the formal model must contain descriptions of the "conception of the world: of the given observer. Such a description we call a thesaurus. Semantic text analysis we interpret as changing the thesaurus in response to a given text. .X 25 1 1224 228 1 1224 229 1 1224 540 1 1224 1133 1 1224 1138 1 1224 1159 1 1224 1162 1 1224 1169 1 1224 1224 7 1224 1224 7 1224 .I 1225 .T On semantic synthesis .A Zholkovskii, A.K. .W This paper describes a system for the automatic synthesis of a text in a natural language (Russian).

An analysis of "knowledge," on the other hand, seems to be the philosopher's task, though some aspects of it are claimed by the sociologist. But if one speaks of the "communication of knowledge in the United States," the specialist in education may feel that this is in his bailiwick; also the mathematician or operations researcher specializing in communication theory and information systems may prick up his ears. In fact, some of the knowledge to be discussed here is technological, and thus the engineer may properly be interested. When I tried out the title of this study on representatives of various disciplines, many were rather surprised that an economist would find himself qualified to undertake this kind of research. .X 5 1 1227 10 1 1227 22 1 1227 74 1 1227 83 1 1227 90 1 1227 91 1 1227 127 1 1227 144 1 1227 145 1 1227 158 1 1227 169 1 1227 222 1 1227 223 1 1227 239 1 1227 245 1 1227 273 1 1227 279 1 1227 288 1 1227 331 1 1227 358 1 1227 368 1 1227 369 1 1227 376 1 1227 381 1 1227 400 1 1227 408 1 1227 435 1 1227 471 1 1227 490 1 1227 496 1 1227 591 1 1227 592 1 1227 615 1 1227 723 1 1227 724 1 1227 781 1 1227 815 1 1227 834 1 1227 860 1 1227 910 1 1227 925 2 1227 935 1 1227 946 1 1227 957 3 1227 976 1 1227 1005 1 1227 1006 1 1227 1018 1 1227 1023 1 1227 1032 1 1227 1049 1 1227 1056 1 1227 1081 1 1227 1082 1 1227 1145 3 1227 1148 3 1227 1201 1 1227 1219 1 1227 1227 18 1227 1232 1 1227 1240 1 1227 1270 1 1227 1302 1 1227 1306 1 1227 1317 1 1227 1353 1 1227 1359 1 1227 1360 1 1227 1365 1 1227 1384 1 1227 1389 1 1227 1390 2 1227 1396 1 1227 1400 1 1227 1406 1 1227 1410 1 1227 1424 1 1227 1444 1 1227 1444 1 1227 .I 1228 .T The Prognostication of science .A Dobrov, G.M. .W Science is developing at a rapid pace.

G. R. French, Thomas .W At Birmingham University Library it is proposed to implement in October l972, a complete microfilm catalogue system.. This system originated from two sources.. Over the past two years various means have been evaluated of converting the library's card catalogues (which were closed at the end of 1971) to a more compact form.. An interim report mentioned microfilming as one of a number of possibilities.. At the time the production of hard copy was envisaged, but since then a true microform system has seemed preferable, in which the catalogue would exist as cassettes of film to be viewed by all users on reader machines.. This system has been specified and costed, and details are included in this paper.. The impetus in reaching this viewpoint was provided by the progress made over the last 18 months in the field of COM, which rapidly commended itself as the choice of output medium for the new mechanized MARC-based catalogue, which covers all the library's serials and all monographs acquired after January 1972.. BLCMP union catalogues in these categories will also be held in COM form at Birmingham University Library.. .X 56 2 1229 90 1 1229 289 1 1229 294 1 1229 553 1 1229 612 1 1229 617 1 1229 620 1 1229 886 1 1229 892 2 1229 963 1 1229 990 1 1229 1221 1 1229 1229 5 1229 1371 1 1229 1371 1 1229 .I 1230 .T Book Selection from MARC Tapes: a Feasibility Study .A Wainwright, Jane Hills, Jacqueline .W The technical and economic feasibility of providing selective notifications of current books to specialized libraries by extraction from MARC tapes has been explored.. An experimental on-line system 'MARCAS' was used to test profile construction and the utility of the various elements in MARC records as search keys.. The programs allowed both weighted and Boolean searching on the title and author, LC classification and subject headings, and the BNB Precis indexing terms and Reference Index Numbers.. Test profiles were constructed for nine libraries covering a range of subject fields, and run on six weeks of BNB and six weeks of LC MARC tapes.. The output was assessed for relevance and recall, and the results analyzed in terms of precision and recall for various combinations of searchable fields.. The best performance, with recall and precision both about 50%, was given by searching all verbal fields together - title and author, LC subject headings, and (BNB tapes only) Precis indexing terms.. Costs for the experimental on-line system, and a batch version of the system, are identified.. .X 10 1 1230 141 1 1230 146 1 1230 160 1 1230 168 1 1230 190 1 1230 225 1 1230 244 2 1230 257 1 1230 258 1 1230 299 1 1230 304 1 1230 305 1 1230 306 1 1230 358 1 1230 365 1 1230 385 1 1230 394 1 1230 433 1 1230 459 1 1230 529 1 1230 534 1 1230 630 1 1230 702 1 1230 715 1 1230 731 1 1230 732 1 1230 746 1 1230 797 1 1230 798 1 1230 817 2 1230 820 1 1230 822 1 1230 823 1 1230 825 3 1230 826 1 1230 827 1 1230 828 1 1230 854 1 1230 871 1 1230 872 1 1230 873 1 1230 874 1 1230 875 1 1230 876 1 1230 877 1 1230 878 1 1230 879 1 1230 880 1 1230 892 1 1230 940 1 1230 941 1 1230 947 1 1230 948 1 1230 990 1 1230 994 1 1230 997 1 1230 998 1 1230 1017 1 1230 1058 1 1230 1079 1 1230 1143 1 1230 1146 1 1230 1215 2 1230 1230 5 1230 1257 2 1230 1265 1 1230 1303 1 1230 1390 1 1230 1393 1 1230 1394 1 1230 1396 1 1230 1435 1 1230 1436 1 1230 1436 1 1230 .I 1231 .T Prolegomena to Library Classification .A Ranganathan, S.R. .W Even while Edition 2 was under preparation, seeds had been sown to take the study of the Theory of Classification to a deeper level with the co-operation of a wider circle of workers. An International Conference of Libraries and Documentation Centres was held in Brussels from 11 to 18 September 1955. During the Conference, a whole forenoon was devoted to a Group Meeting on "Classification, General and Special", under my Chairmanship. The following two resolutions recommended by the Group Meeting were adopted by the Plenary Meeting on 16 September 1955. "1 The FID recommends that a deeper and more extensive study should be made of the general theory of classification, including facet analysis, and also of their application in the documentation of specific subjects. "2 The Commission proposes, that in liaison with the FID/CA Committee, a permanent Working Group be created in order to make mutual exchange of theoreticians' experiences and points of view possible. The rapporteurs shall bring about the creation of such a group and furnish the information and means of work in order that practical results may be obtained in the shortest time, by making mail exchanges easier and more frequent. The scheme proposed by Dr. Ranganathan will serve as the basic document" [154]. Further, at its meeting held on 16 September 1955, the Council of FID requested its Bureau to convene an International Seminar on Classification. This was in accord with the memorandum prepared by me at the request of Donker Duyvis [133]. .X 29 1 1231 58 1 1231 117 1 1231 154 1 1231 165 4 1231 168 1 1231 257 1 1231 258 1 1231 259 1 1231 260 1 1231 263 2 1231 337 1 1231 353 1 1231 388 1 1231 434 1 1231 445 2 1231 451 1 1231 471 1 1231 476 3 1231 477 2 1231 516 1 1231 525 2 1231 530 1 1231 542 1 1231 590 2 1231 609 1 1231 621 3 1231 641 2 1231 656 1 1231 668 1 1231 670 1 1231 671 1 1231 674 1 1231 683 1 1231 689 2 1231 715 1 1231 758 1 1231 762 1 1231 797 1 1231 814 1 1231 819 2 1231 898 1 1231 901 1 1231 911 1 1231 1024 1 1231 1027 1 1231 1053 1 1231 1066 3 1231 1073 1 1231 1077 3 1231 1215 1 1231 1231 18 1231 1255 1 1231 1259 2 1231 1391 2 1231 1393 1 1231 1394 1 1231 1413 1 1231 1414 1 1231 1429 1 1231 1430 1 1231 1443 1 1231 1448 1 1231 1448 1 1231 .I 1232 .T The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information .A Miller, G.A. .W My problem is that I have been persecuted by an integer.

This number assumes a variety of disguises, being sometimes a little larger and sometimes a little smaller than usual, but never changing so much as to be unrecognizable. The persistence with which this number plagues me is far more than a random accident. There is, to quote a famous senator, a design behind it, some pattern governing its appearances.

It derives most directly, however, from clinical experience. This theory is, I think, in the functionalist tradition of James and Dewey, and is fused with the holism of Wertheimer, Goldstein, and Gestalt Psychology, and with the dynamicism of Freud and Adler. This fusion of synthesis may arbitrarily be called a 'general-dynamic' theory. .X 285 1 1233 296 1 1233 298 1 1233 304 1 1233 418 1 1233 843 1 1233 844 1 1233 1015 1 1233 1020 1 1233 1041 1 1233 1048 2 1233 1069 2 1233 1070 1 1233 1150 1 1233 1233 9 1233 1455 2 1233 1455 2 1233 .I 1234 .T Multidimensional Scaling by Optimizing Goodness of Fit to a Nonmetric Hypothesis .A Kruskal, J.

In just what sense distances and dissimilarities should correspond has been left rather vague in most approaches, thus leaving these approaches logically incomplete.. Our fundamental hypothesis is that dissimilarities and distances are monotonically related.. We define a quantitative, intuitively satisfying measure of goodness of fit to this hypothesis.. Our technique of multidimensional scaling is to compute that configuration of points which optimizes the goodness of fit..

What is the nature of the community to which they adhere? .X 15 1 1235 29 1 1235 35 1 1235 40 1 1235 42 1 1235 43 1 1235 58 1 1235 70 1 1235 84 1 1235 102 1 1235 105 1 1235 444 1 1235 445 1 1235 447 1 1235 449 1 1235 474 1 1235 486 1 1235 532 1 1235 625 1 1235 660 1 1235 762 1 1235 764 1 1235 893 1 1235 952 1 1235 953 1 1235 958 1 1235 1016 1 1235 1030 2 1235 1045 1 1235 1084 1 1235 1195 1 1235 1201 1 1235 1209 1 1235 1235 5 1235 1281 1 1235 1285 1 1235 1289 1 1235 1290 1 1235 1329 1 1235 1387 1 1235 1387 1 1235 .I 1236 .T Public Libraries in Cooperative Systems; Administrative patterns for service .A Gregory, R.W. .W This book was written as an introduction to the administrative relationships between small and medium-sized public libraries and the cooperative library system. In this book, the definition of a cooperative system is as follows: A cooperative library system is the combining of the talents and the resources of a group of independent libraries, within a reasonable geographic radius, for the purpose of attaining excellence in service and resources for the benefit of the actual and potential users of all the member libraries. The plan for the book originated with questions directed to a public library administrator and to a system director. The most pertinent of the repeated questions was, "How does system membership change local library administration?" The sharpest question was, "Will the system ultimately take over local rights and responsibilities?" .X 311 1 1236 340 1 1236 431 1 1236 842 1 1236 910 1 1236 939 1 1236 1232 1 1236 1236 6 1236 1238 1 1236 1400 1 1236 1400 1 1236 .I 1237 .T Public Libraries as Culture and Social Centers: the origin of the concept .A Davies, D.W. .W This book is an attempt to trace the origins of non- book activities in public libraries, by which is meant the arrangement of fiestas, festivals, and exhibitions; the conduct of classes, contests, lectures, and excursions; the staging of plays, the exhibition of movies, the demonstration of karate and judo, and all similar activities not primarily concerned with books now carried on by public libraries. Since ideas about libraries, as well as librarians, have passed back and forth across the Atlantic with great facility, in this attempt to discover origins it seems wise to follow, however sketchily, developments in both America and Britain, and to note with some care what was happening in scholarly libraries, in popular libraries for the middle classes, and in libraries intended for the working classes. .X 234 1 1237 304 1 1237 306 1 1237 338 1 1237 646 1 1237 647 1 1237 651 1 1237 942 1 1237 943 1 1237 944 1 1237 948 1 1237 1017 1 1237 1049 1 1237 1206 1 1237 1237 5 1237 1378 1 1237 1440 1 1237 1450 1 1237 1453 1 1237 1453 1 1237 .I 1238 .T Public Library and City .A Conant, R.W. .W This volume is an edited collection of some papers from the 1963 Symposium on Library Functions in the Changing Metropolis sponsored by the Joint Center for Urban Studies and the National Book Committee. Not all the papers delivered at the Symposium are included, and papers by Banfield, Blasingame, and myself were written especially for this volume. The authors are urban social scientists, economists, historians, sociologists, political scientists, planners, communication experts, library scholars, and library administrators.

These activities have included public library pilot projects - Colombo (Ceylon), Medellin (Colombia), Delhi (India), Abidjan (Ivory coast), Enugu (Nigeria) - training of librarians, and meetings of experts on planning library services. It has become increasingly evident that effective public library services cannot be developed and maintained without appropriate legislation providing for a nation-wide service, offering, as far as possible, equal contract with the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), for a comparative study of existing library legislation that would be helpful to developing and developed countries alike in drafting legislation. .X 906 1 1239 1239 6 1239 1239 6 1239 .I 1240 .T The Public Library in the United States .A Leigh, R.D. .W The study as a whole is designed to stimulate public librarians to re-examine realistically their most useful function and greatest potential contribution at a time when methods of communication are undergoing rapid change. As the traditional custodian of the printed word, the librarian has long had a distinctive and widely accepted role. The Public Library Inquiry, especially in the concluding chapter of the present volume, brings to the center of attention problems and suggestions for change challenging a fresh appraisal. It should arouse the interest of the public served by the libraries as well as aid the librarians themselves to an appreciation of an important American institution that must be kept ever alert to the needs of a democratic society. .X 31 1 1240 36 1 1240 41 1 1240 46 1 1240 173 1 1240 181 1 1240 182 1 1240 183 1 1240 184 1 1240 193 1 1240 195 1 1240 198 1 1240 201 1 1240 237 1 1240 239 1 1240 269 1 1240 273 1 1240 298 1 1240 358 2 1240 395 1 1240 415 1 1240 760 1 1240 767 1 1240 774 1 1240 778 1 1240 891 1 1240 905 1 1240 946 1 1240 952 1 1240 953 1 1240 964 1 1240 968 1 1240 1005 1 1240 1009 1 1240 1018 2 1240 1019 1 1240 1032 1 1240 1056 1 1240 1145 1 1240 1186 1 1240 1227 1 1240 1240 10 1240 1333 1 1240 1359 1 1240 1384 1 1240 1397 1 1240 1417 1 1240 1417 1 1240 .I 1241 .T Publishers and Libraries .A Fry, B.M. .W The purpose of this study is to report on the viability of the journals' system for communicating scholarly and research information. Overall it examines the economics of the interaction between the publisher and library components in this system and seeks to identify the separate and interdependent problems of each. Data have been collected for the five-year period 1969-73 as a basis for analysis and interpretation. Emerging issues and trends are identified and evaluated for their possible future impact. When supported by data and information derived from the study, conclusions and recommendations are offered, aimed at possible solutions, or processes for stabilizing the present deteriorating situation and the consequent drift toward a general crisis in journal communication. .X 831 1 1241 888 1 1241 1241 5 1241 1390 1 1241 1390 1 1241 .I 1242 .T Quantitative Methods .A Hoadley, I.B. .W This Institute was designed both to encourage the use of quantitative measurement and to teach the techniques necessary for such use. It was hoped that an emphasis on statistical measurement would upgrade administrative and research skills and thus contribute to more efficient and effective library management. Studies of librarians' academic backgrounds have indicated a preponderance of humanities and social science majors in the field. Too often librarians have had only a few courses in mathematics, and some actually have a psychological antipathy toward numbers. This anti-mathematics syndrome has kept librarians from taking proper advantage of quantitative methods. .X 9 1 1242 158 1 1242 207 1 1242 222 1 1242 223 1 1242 249 1 1242 292 1 1242 296 1 1242 297 1 1242 298 1 1242 300 1 1242 301 1 1242 302 1 1242 358 1 1242 364 1 1242 515 1 1242 535 1 1242 616 1 1242 625 1 1242 629 1 1242 631 1 1242 634 1 1242 791 1 1242 811 1 1242 816 1 1242 818 1 1242 823 2 1242 841 1 1242 842 1 1242 843 1 1242 844 1 1242 846 1 1242 915 1 1242 925 1 1242 948 1 1242 961 1 1242 962 1 1242 964 1 1242 994 1 1242 1015 1 1242 1242 6 1242 1247 1 1242 1250 1 1242 1268 1 1242 1317 1 1242 1354 1 1242 1401 1 1242 1403 1 1242 1428 1 1242 1428 1 1242 .I 1243 .T Rare Book Librarianship .A Cave, R. .W Although there is an extensive and enjoyable literature on the subject of rare books, most of it is concerned with bibliography or book collecting, and relatively little on the librarianship of rare books is available. This book is an attempt to consider some of the problems of custodianship and exploitation of special collections in libraries; problems sufficiently different, I believe, to make the concept of rare book librarianship a valid one. It is based distantly upon lecture notes for a course on this subject which was offered to postgraduate students at Loughborough University. .X 1243 5 1243 1243 5 1243 .I 1244 .T Rate Distortion Theory A Mathematical Basis for Data Compression .A Berger, T. .W The branch of information theory devoted to situations in which the entropy of the source exceeds the capacity of the channel is called rate distortion theory. The name derives from C.E. Shannon's concept of the rate distortion function of an information source with respect to a fidelity criterion, which serves as the cornerstone of the theory. Rate distortion theory provides a mathematical basis for the rapidly evolving branch of communication engineering commonly referred to as "data compression," "bandwidth compression," or "redundancy reduction." .X 536 4 1244 1244 6 1244 1244 6 1244 .I 1245 .T Reader in Documents of International Organizations .A Stevens, R.D. .W The purpose of this volume is to give an insight into the nature and scope of the documents of international organizations and to provide information about the work of documentalists and librarians in making the mass of information available in these documents available to readers. All too many librarians regard government documents and in particular, the documents of international agencies as esoteric, unlike the usual library materials in format and publication pattern, and as presenting problems of acquisitions, control and service so complex and so frustrating that they are best left to the specialist in documents. The result is that international documents are a puzzlement to the general librarian, and a source of frustration to the ill informed administrator; a situation exacerbated by the present general tendency of library school curricula to ignore the question of international documents except for cursory mention in one or at most two sessions of a general course in government documents to which relatively few students are exposed. The information in this volume will allay the fears of the generalist librarian. It also provides the data on which to base additional emphasis on international documents in the library school curriculum. .X 1245 5 1245 1245 5 1245 .I 1246 .T Reader Instruction in Colleges and Universities .A Mews, H. .W DEFINITION: What is 'reader instruction'? Another currently used term is 'library instruction', which puts the emphasis on the library rather than the reader, and which also suggests to some that library instruction concerns the training of librarians. For the purpose of this introductory handbook 'reader instruction' is taken to mean instruction given to readers to help them make the best use of a library, particularly an academic library of some size and complexity. .X 370 2 1246 648 1 1246 768 1 1246 774 1 1246 818 1 1246 839 1 1246 847 2 1246 1068 1 1246 1246 5 1246 1246 5 1246 .I 1247 .T Reader in Library Cooperation .A Reynolds, M.M. .W This volume is intended as a means of exploration for the practicing librarian and as a textbook for the library school student. It will try to draw attention to significant social, behavioral, theoretical, organizational, functional, and operational generalizations about library interrelationships; and to suggest a sense of the total fabric of the cooperative endeavor. It does not aim at identifying and incorporating the forms and the range of library cooperation in which individual libraries seek to extend the limits of their separate capabilities. .X 9 1 1247 92 1 1247 119 1 1247 122 1 1247 207 1 1247 222 1 1247 223 1 1247 249 1 1247 250 1 1247 295 1 1247 296 1 1247 297 1 1247 298 2 1247 300 1 1247 301 1 1247 302 1 1247 303 1 1247 340 1 1247 353 1 1247 358 1 1247 364 1 1247 365 1 1247 375 1 1247 394 2 1247 431 2 1247 453 1 1247 515 1 1247 526 1 1247 528 1 1247 535 1 1247 612 1 1247 625 1 1247 629 1 1247 631 1 1247 634 1 1247 791 1 1247 811 1 1247 816 1 1247 818 1 1247 823 1 1247 843 1 1247 844 1 1247 846 1 1247 872 3 1247 915 1 1247 940 1 1247 961 1 1247 962 1 1247 964 1 1247 981 1 1247 994 1 1247 1008 1 1247 1011 1 1247 1013 1 1247 1015 1 1247 1143 1 1247 1242 1 1247 1247 8 1247 1257 1 1247 1258 1 1247 1264 1 1247 1268 1 1247 1354 2 1247 1367 1 1247 1390 1 1247 1410 1 1247 1435 1 1247 1436 1 1247 1436 1 1247 .I 1248 .T Reader in Library Service and the Computer .A Kaplan, L. .W The selections are intended mainly for students in library schools, and for librarians in the field who have not yet made themselves conversant with the literature of computer-based operations. This is not a book, to state the proposition in the negative, for those who wish to read on the theoretical aspects of computers. The selections are brought together in seven sections. The first, the Challenge, includes material on what is expected of librarians in the age of the computer. The second section, Varieties of Response, does not by any means exhaust developments in American libraries. It does, I believe, contain representative descriptions of some of the best work being accomplished. The third section, Theory of Management, contains an outstanding article by Richard DeGennaro of Harvard. The particular contributions made in this article are described in the editorial comment immediately preceding this third section. News Services, the fourth section, required a considerable degree of selection among a wealth of material, and is indicative of the wide variety of services which libraries are beginning to offer in the age of the computer. The considerable range of such services is exhaustively indicated in the first selection of this section, while those that follow describe specific services now being offered, or services in the planning stage. The material in the fifth section, Catalogs and the Computer, is on a subject that has elicited considerable discussion. The two articles selected are on two aspects of the subject, namely, filing problems, and comparative costs. The sixth section, Copyright, contains an article from the legal point of view. The more traditional library view of copyright has been ably represented by Verner Clapp in an article cited in the section on additional readings. The seventh section, Information Retrieval Testing, is a subject which has excited the attention of but few librarians, yet its influence on subject indexing could in time prove considerable. .X 177 1 1248 235 1 1248 289 1 1248 291 1 1248 374 1 1248 408 1 1248 458 1 1248 471 1 1248 548 1 1248 594 1 1248 597 1 1248 598 1 1248 601 1 1248 836 1 1248 863 1 1248 864 1 1248 865 1 1248 866 1 1248 868 1 1248 897 1 1248 916 1 1248 936 1 1248 1052 1 1248 1248 7 1248 1327 1 1248 1327 1 1248 .I 1249 .T Reader in Medical Librarianship .A Sewell, W. .W Each kind of librarianship partakes of the general elements of librarianship, and each has a flavor all its own. This book is intended to present the flavor and philosophy of medical librarianship to the student or novice. If it gives a new perspective to some practicing librarians or administrators in health science organizations, so much the better. If it were ever possible to think of medical libraries in isolation, it is so no longer. One must conceive of them as part of a medical system, and indeed as part of a system that goes beyond the narrow confines of medicine as practiced by a single physician for a single patient. It extends into the health sciences as represented by dentists, pharmacists, nurses, veterinarians, medical technologists, medical associates and dozens of others, some not yet possessing a clear identity. It includes research, education and practice. In addition to the clinical sciences, the system involves the preclinical ones and preventive medicine and public health. Increasingly, socioeconomic considerations have moved into the mainstream of medicine. .X 241 1 1249 1249 6 1249 1249 6 1249 .I 1250 .T Reader in Research Methods for Librarianship .A Bundy, M.L. .W The fundamental purpose of this volume is to assist its reader to genuinely perceive the nature of scholarship and its relationship to the goals of librarianship. Viewed in this way, and perhaps as antidote to the more rigidly formalistic treatments of the technical matters of research, the editors' concern here has been less with the rituals and far more with the fundamental nature of intellectual inquiry and its societal contribution, with the modes of analysis, the habits of thought and expression which characterize scholarship and the scholar. Another primary purpose has been to put research into a context which clearly depicts the task of the researcher, and so illuminates realistically not only the rigor and the discipline, but the human triumphs and joys which derive from its accomplishment. Seen thus, as a dynamic field fit for the adventurer of the mind, perhaps it may succeed in enticing more to its fold from among those in librarianship with imaginative and creative capacity, who have not before held this perspective of research. .X 616 1 1250 789 1 1250 795 1 1250 1242 1 1250 1250 7 1250 1403 1 1250 1422 1 1250 1428 1 1250 1428 1 1250 .I 1251 .T Reader in Technical Services .A Applebaum, E.

It is expected that these selections will be of interest and use to the teacher and student.. It is also hoped that they will be of equal interest to the professional librarian and researcher.. There has been a deliberate attempt to exclude materials that have appeared in recently published collections.. It is for this reason that the names of Panizzi, Cutter, Martel, Hanson, Dewey, Rider, Bliss, Haykin, Shera, Lubetzky and others do not appear.. A specific focus has been given to this book..

F. .W This report describes the results of a study of a practical method of preparing Library of Congress card catalog data in machine form for (1) the automatic typesetting of cards and book catalogs, and (2) distribution to other libraries throughout the country for all foreseeable bibliographic and typographic applications of such data, including preparation of local catalogs.. The first step of the method proposed is to type the card data on a perforated tape typewriter in a way which identifies all of the items on the card.. After the data is edited and corrected, it is processed by a computer to form (1) catalog card typesetting tapes, (2) the National Union Catalog, (3) Library of Congress Books, Subjects Catalog, magnetic tape catalog files, and a master magnetic or perforated paper tape record copy for distribution.. The procedure also allows the recording of data which does not now appear on Library of Congress cards, should studies find that the value of the data exceeds the cost of recording it.. A demonstration was performed in which cards were typed to produce perforated tape records.. These record tapes were automatically converted to a variety of output forms ranging from phototypeset catalog cards and book catalog entries to tape typewriter and line printer produced catalog cards.. .X 159 1 1252 178 2 1252 200 1 1252 249 1 1252 852 1 1252 854 1 1252 857 1 1252 858 1 1252 859 1 1252 861 1 1252 970 1 1252 978 1 1252 997 1 1252 1012 1 1252 1042 1 1252 1043 3 1252 1071 1 1252 1252 5 1252 1371 1 1252 1371 1 1252 .I 1253 .T Relegation and Stock Control in Libraries .A Urquhart, J.A. .W Stock control has been defined by Buckland as "the managerial problem of organising the physical availability of books in relation to readers". While it has long been recognised that only a proportion of the stock of academic libraries is actively used academic library buildings grow both more expensive and approach capacity fullness with remarkable speed. In certain cases some new buildings are full even before they have left the design-board stage. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion reached by R.B. Morris in 1963 that 'in terms of long range perspective, responsible judgement suggests that there is no feasible choice before libraries other than a wide and continuous programme of "selective book retirement"'. Library stock control has not received the attention it merits from librarians whose energy, time and resources have been more than fully committed by the problems of acquisition and the provision of an ever-increasing range of services for readers. Early investigations of this issue have tended to be theoretical and Carol Seymour in her review "Weeding the Collection" put forward the view that "a librarian should be able to begin his plan for weeding even if the day seems far off when weeding will be necessary... He also knows the sorts of information tools he will need to have at hand when the day does dawn on his overgrown garden". The Pebul Report summarised the position in a remarkably appropriate metaphor when it observed that "weeding the bookstock" in academic libraries was the "ungrasped nettle." .X 766 1 1253 818 1 1253 843 1 1253 845 1 1253 961 1 1253 1020 1 1253 1253 6 1253 1401 1 1253 1401 1 1253 .I 1254 .T Report of an Investigation on Literature Searching by Research Scientists .A Martin, J. .W This is a factual report of the investigation..

In this report only such discussion is included as is necessary to clarify the data presented.. .X 48 1 1254 137 1 1254 147 1 1254 167 1 1254 210 1 1254 241 1 1254 355 2 1254 382 1 1254 456 1 1254 458 1 1254 475 1 1254 614 1 1254 635 1 1254 638 1 1254 658 1 1254 748 1 1254 753 1 1254 756 1 1254 757 1 1254 760 1 1254 763 1 1254 771 1 1254 772 1 1254 787 1 1254 788 2 1254 792 1 1254 821 1 1254 831 1 1254 900 1 1254 952 1 1254 953 1 1254 986 1 1254 1050 1 1254 1083 1 1254 1210 1 1254 1254 7 1254 1256 1 1254 1260 1 1254 1275 1 1254 1278 1 1254 1291 1 1254 1302 1 1254 1369 1 1254 1373 1 1254 1404 1 1254 1418 1 1254 1418 1 1254 .I 1255 .T Report on the Testing and Analysis of an Investigation into the Comparative Efficiency of Indexing Systems .A Cleverdon, C.W. .W This volume continues the account of the Aslib-Cranfield project as given in the "Final Report of the First Stage of an Investigation into the Comparative Efficiency of Indexing Systems". The major portion of the two years spent on this present stage has been involved with the analysis of the considerable amount of data which was obtained from the main test programme. A difficulty in this work was in deciding on the type of analysis which would be most likely to yield valuable information. In order to keep this volume within reasonable limits, it has been necessary to select from the analysis that was done, and even so in many cases only brief examples are given. The major emphasis has been placed on the reasons for failure to retrieve source documents, for this is considered to give some of the most interesting results of the project and has not, to our knowledge, been previously attempted. Of possible equal importance, but certainly more difficult to evaluate, is the reason for the retrieval of non-relevant references. This analysis has not been attempted within the present work, but will be one of the matters to be investigated in the continuation of the project. .X 44 1 1255 50 1 1255 52 1 1255 57 2 1255 61 3 1255 73 2 1255 75 1 1255 131 1 1255 134 1 1255 146 1 1255 149 1 1255 154 1 1255 175 1 1255 176 1 1255 257 1 1255 259 1 1255 260 1 1255 329 1 1255 382 2 1255 389 2 1255 390 3 1255 434 1 1255 445 1 1255 449 1 1255 458 1 1255 474 1 1255 476 1 1255 486 1 1255 488 1 1255 565 2 1255 572 1 1255 595 1 1255 596 1 1255 608 1 1255 619 1 1255 752 2 1255 769 1 1255 773 1 1255 780 2 1255 781 1 1255 785 3 1255 795 1 1255 810 1 1255 812 1 1255 813 1 1255 814 1 1255 870 1 1255 874 1 1255 894 1 1255 907 1 1255 928 1 1255 963 1 1255 966 3 1255 990 1 1255 991 1 1255 1066 1 1255 1084 1 1255 1154 1 1255 1191 1 1255 1215 1 1255 1231 1 1255 1255 15 1255 1265 1 1255 1268 1 1255 1282 2 1255 1286 1 1255 1294 1 1255 1327 1 1255 1380 1 1255 1394 1 1255 1413 1 1255 1414 1 1255 1429 1 1255 1430 1 1255 1445 1 1255 1448 1 1255 1448 1 1255 .I 1256 .T The Growth of the Literature of Physics .A Anthony, L. J. East, H. Slater, M. J. .W An examination is made of the current problems of the communication and dissemination of literature in the field of physics.. The growth of the literature is considered quantitatively with respect to the form, subject and origin of published material.. This is related to the general growth in scientific activity as exemplified by increases in numbers of physicists and of expenditure on research.. The results of surveys aimed at ascertaining the needs or demands of users of the physics literature are considered, particularly where these reveal weakness in the present organization of information transfer, and the reactions of users to new services intended to remedy the deficiencies.. Finally, a number of recently established services - some designed to meet hitherto unsatisfied needs - are described.. The role of the computer in the development of local, national and international documentation systems is examined.. .X 48 1 1256 88 1 1256 89 2 1256 105 1 1256 110 1 1256 155 1 1256 157 1 1256 167 1 1256 201 1 1256 203 1 1256 314 1 1256 356 1 1256 373 1 1256 384 1 1256 544 1 1256 560 2 1256 582 1 1256 589 1 1256 614 1 1256 635 1 1256 638 1 1256 656 1 1256 685 1 1256 722 1 1256 748 1 1256 753 1 1256 756 1 1256 757 1 1256 787 1 1256 792 1 1256 821 1 1256 831 1 1256 889 1 1256 952 1 1256 953 1 1256 977 1 1256 1030 1 1256 1050 1 1256 1062 1 1256 1083 1 1256 1203 1 1256 1210 1 1256 1254 1 1256 1256 5 1256 1260 1 1256 1275 1 1256 1278 1 1256 1284 1 1256 1285 1 1256 1290 1 1256 1291 1 1256 1293 1 1256 1294 1 1256 1295 1 1256 1296 1 1256 1297 1 1256 1302 2 1256 1319 1 1256 1346 1 1256 1352 1 1256 1369 1 1256 1373 1 1256 1386 1 1256 1397 1 1256 1418 1 1256 1418 1 1256 .I 1257 .T Research Libraries and Technology .A Fussler, H.H. .W The focus of the report is primarily upon the problems of the large, university, research-oriented library.

For each library, even the largest, the hope of adequately supplying its identified user groups has been greatly constrained by simultaneous inflation of both cost and quantity of materials. While future technological developments may well make possible on-line full text retrieval of all library materials at local terminals or the instantaneous remote "publication" of materials upon demand, the present situation requires more immediate solutions. .X 10 2 1258 92 1 1258 167 1 1258 172 1 1258 365 1 1258 375 1 1258 453 1 1258 551 1 1258 652 1 1258 825 1 1258 856 1 1258 886 1 1258 888 1 1258 913 1 1258 942 1 1258 943 1 1258 947 1 1258 963 1 1258 1004 1 1258 1080 1 1258 1247 1 1258 1257 1 1258 1258 5 1258 1305 1 1258 1306 1 1258 1390 2 1258 1433 1 1258 1441 1 1258 1441 1 1258 .I 1259 .T Categories and Relators: A New Scheme .A Perreault, J.M. .W If the (major) premise is accepted, that fully effective machine-strategization of a retrieval system depends upon the use of a (hierarchically) structural (but highly flexible) notation as the equivalent for the verbal access provided by either unitermic or articulated conceptual indicators, a faceted classification logically emerges as the desideratum. The two aspects of a structural notation most determinative here are hierarchicality and uniform use of general categories (the latter, not merely for the sake of uniformity as such, but as the means to a heightened flexibility). These desiderata could of course be present on the "idea plane" alone; but without their being present notationally they do not furnish, to a mechanized retrieval system, the type of assistance it requires for optimal functioning. The second (minor) premise ought to be that the Universal Decimal Classification, being both hierarchical and general-categoric, provides the desired structurality. But the melancholy fact is that this desideratum is not always satisfied, for instance when UDC uses direct division of a hierarchy when division by general category would be equally appropriate. .X 258 1 1259 259 1 1259 263 1 1259 388 1 1259 476 2 1259 477 4 1259 516 1 1259 542 1 1259 653 2 1259 758 1 1259 838 2 1259 898 1 1259 1066 1 1259 1231 2 1259 1259 6 1259 1391 4 1259 1414 1 1259 1429 2 1259 1430 2 1259 1430 2 1259 .I 1260 .T The Review of Scientific Instruments with Physics News and Views .A Hooker, R.H. .W A study of the periodicals for the subjects of physics and radio has been undertaken with the hope of indicating those which are most used in each field.

It thus comparizes simple and "fused" (ortho- and ortho-peri-fused), or annelated, systems (including spiro forms), but not systems like biphenyl or triphenylmethane, in which the rings are united only by valences or by atoms not belonging to the rings. Some systems are included in which a polar valence is involved, e.g. the four-membered ring of betaine, since these are often shown in formulas as if true rings; but in such cases the presence of the polar bond is noted. Polar bonds in metallic salts (e.g. calcium succinate) are disregarded as ring formers; so also are coordinate linkages (as in the chelate compounds). The word "system" is used to mean a single ring or a combination of rings united one to another by atoms common to both. Except for some special reason, only systems representing known compounds of generally accepted structure, or definitely believed by authors to have a certain structure, are included. The fact that a compound must have one or two alternative structures is not sufficient for the entry of a system based on either of them. Where there is doubt about an entry a query (?) is inserted after the reference. .X 671 1 1261 674 1 1261 681 1 1261 693 1 1261 699 1 1261 708 1 1261 709 1 1261 833 2 1261 1261 9 1261 1452 2 1261 1460 1 1261 1460 1 1261 .I 1262 .T The Rise of Anthropological Theory .A Harris, M. .W My main reason for writing this book is to reassert the methodological priority of the search for the laws of history in the science of man. There is an urgency associated with this rededication, which grows in direct proportion to the increase in the funding and planning of anthropological research and especially to the role anthropologists have been asked to assume in the planning and carrying out of international development programs. A general theory of history is required if the expansion of disposable research funds is to result in something other than the rapid growth in the amount of trivia being published in the learned journals. The publishing of more and more about less and less is an acceptable consequence of affluence only if specialization does not lead to an actual neglect or even obfuscation of fundamental issues. .X 1262 7 1262 1262 7 1262 .I 1263 .T Why Don't They Ask Questions? .A Swope, M.J. Katzer, J. .W Recently, a great deal of emphasis has been placed upon communications, interviewing, and advisory counseling in the field of library science. Studies done in these areas have dealt mainly with communication barriers, verbal and nonverbal communication, question-negotiation and patterns of information seeking, interviewing techniques for librarians, customer relations, and reference performance as they relate to the user and his confrontation with a librarian in seeking an answer to his question.

Again, the preparation of a catalog must vary as it is to be manuscript or printed, and, if the latter, as it is to be merely an index to the library, giving in the shortest possible compass clues by which the public can find books, or is to attempt to furnish more information on various points, or finally is to be made with a certain regard to what may be called style. Without pretending to exactness, we may divide dictionary catalogs into short-title, medium title, and full-title or bibliographic; typical examples of the three being, 1, the Boston Mercantile (1869) or the Cincinnati Public (1871); 2, the Boston Public (1861 and 1866), the Boston Athenaeum (1874-82); 3, the catalog now making by the Library of Congress. To avoid the constant repetition of such phrases as "the full catalog of a large library" and "a concise finding-list," I shall use the three words Short, Medium, and Full as proper names, with the preliminary caution that the Short family are not all the same size, that there is more than one Medium, and that Full may be Fuller and Fullest. Short, if single-columned, is generally a title-a-liner; if printed in double columns, it allows the title occasionally to exceed one line, but not, if possible, two; Medium does not limit itself in this way, but it seldom exceeds four lines, and gets many titles into a single line. Full usually fills three or four lines and often takes six or seven for a title. .X 63 1 1265 149 1 1265 175 1 1265 246 1 1265 247 2 1265 257 1 1265 259 1 1265 324 1 1265 348 1 1265 389 1 1265 390 1 1265 434 1 1265 445 1 1265 449 1 1265 487 1 1265 502 1 1265 579 1 1265 596 1 1265 600 1 1265 601 1 1265 653 1 1265 715 1 1265 797 1 1265 798 1 1265 799 1 1265 805 1 1265 807 1 1265 863 1 1265 864 1 1265 874 1 1265 956 1 1265 963 1 1265 987 1 1265 988 1 1265 989 1 1265 991 1 1265 1004 1 1265 1152 1 1265 1215 1 1265 1230 1 1265 1255 1 1265 1265 7 1265 1294 1 1265 1327 1 1265 1393 1 1265 1394 2 1265 1395 1 1265 1399 1 1265 1448 1 1265 1448 1 1265 .I 1266 .T Rules for a Dictionary Catalog .A Cutter, C.A. .W No code of cataloguing could be adopted in all points by everyone, because the libraries for study and the libraries for reading have different objects, and those which combine the two do so in different proportions.

Kuhn. Kuhn has not been accepted without criticism, but that need not prevent us from using his book as a point of departure for discussion. I assume that the reader will be familiar with Kuhn's analysis,so that only a sketchy summary of his position is necessary. I will then take a brief look at some of the history of psychology, with special emphasis upon the major tenets of behaviorism. Finally, I will advance some evidence to suggest that we may well be living in an era of revolution within psychology (as well as without). .X 101 1 1271 343 3 1271 1271 6 1271 1272 4 1271 1310 1 1271 1311 5 1271 1329 1 1271 1386 3 1271 1386 3 1271 .I 1272 .T Is a Kuhnian Analysis Applicable to Psychology? .A Briskman, L.B. .W As my title might suggest, I wish to discuss some aspects of Palermo's recent paper. The thesis which Palermo advocated is that Kuhn's view of scientific revolution is applicable to the recent history of experimental psychology, and that, in particular, experimental psychology has had two paradigms already, with the appropriate scientific revolution between them, and that the current behavioristic paradigm may well be in a state of Kuhnian crisis. The present note is divided into three parts: the first questions Palermo's assertion that the transition from introspectionism to behaviorism was a standard Kuhnian paradigm-change; the second, closely tied to the first, challenges the assumption that behaviorism itself can really be seen as a Kuhnian paradigm; finally, the third supports Palermo's thesis that behaviorism is in a 'crisis-state' but advances an alternative account of the reasons for this. .X 343 2 1272 1271 4 1272 1272 5 1272 1310 1 1272 1311 4 1272 1329 1 1272 1386 2 1272 1386 2 1272 .I 1273 .T Bibliographical Statistics as a Guide to Growth Points in Science .A Meadows, A.J. O'connor, J.G. .W Efforts have been made in recent years to use statistical studies of scientific research papers as a means for deriving general statements about trends in science. For example, there has been a continuing interest in the question of how the frequency of citation of a scientific paper depends on its age. These investigations have, however, been mainly concerned with the major branches of science only, and have also, perhaps, been rather more interested in identifying past trends than in making specific predictions for the future. Although such results are obviously valuable, it is also important to push these analyses further into smaller areas within a main scientific subject division, since such areas may have significantly different bibliographical properties from the subject average. One particularly important aspect of such work concerns the origin of new growth areas within a major discipline. We can specifically pose the question: is it possible, purely from a statistical analysis of scientific research papers, to identify the appearance of a new growth area and, if so, how soon after its first appearance can such an area be identified? .X 33 1 1273 39 1 1273 48 1 1273 89 1 1273 102 1 1273 106 1 1273 107 1 1273 111 1 1273 113 3 1273 155 1 1273 314 1 1273 605 1 1273 632 2 1273 784 1 1273 1087 1 1273 1234 1 1273 1270 1 1273 1273 7 1273 1274 3 1273 1285 2 1273 1287 1 1273 1300 1 1273 1301 1 1273 1302 1 1273 1304 2 1273 1312 1 1273 1313 3 1273 1337 2 1273 1338 2 1273 1341 1 1273 1342 1 1273 1344 1 1273 1346 1 1273 1347 1 1273 1387 1 1273 1444 3 1273 1444 3 1273 .I 1274 .T The Structure of Scientific Literatures II: Toward a Macro- and Microstructure for Science .A Griffith, B.C. Small, H.G. Stonehill, J.A. Dey, S. .W Part I of this paper described the first steps in mapping the scientific literature, using a new technique - co-citation - to measure the degree of similarity among documents. The work developed directly from an earlier paper which defined this measure, and explored its relationship to other citation measures for identifying relationships among documents. We now report the outcome of an attempt to create 'maps' of the scientific literature. The scales of these maps have been systematically manipulated so that they present, not only an overview of all highly-cited papers in natural science, but also a detailed view of a single scientific specialty. At each level we have systematically sought indications of the validity of the mapping operation, and have indications that the maps display at least certain important aspects of the specialty structure of science. .X 19 1 1274 37 1 1274 39 1 1274 40 1 1274 41 1 1274 47 2 1274 62 1 1274 88 1 1274 97 1 1274 102 3 1274 103 1 1274 104 1 1274 106 2 1274 108 1 1274 113 2 1274 228 1 1274 229 1 1274 233 1 1274 253 1 1274 310 1 1274 313 1 1274 314 1 1274 318 1 1274 359 1 1274 363 1 1274 377 3 1274 379 1 1274 395 1 1274 409 1 1274 462 1 1274 469 1 1274 503 1 1274 505 1 1274 560 1 1274 573 1 1274 604 1 1274 605 1 1274 618 1 1274 632 6 1274 635 1 1274 667 1 1274 737 1 1274 748 1 1274 749 1 1274 751 1 1274 764 2 1274 765 2 1274 777 1 1274 778 2 1274 782 1 1274 804 1 1274 805 1 1274 853 1 1274 875 1 1274 883 1 1274 893 1 1274 952 1 1274 1016 2 1274 1061 1 1274 1084 1 1274 1085 1 1274 1086 1 1274 1087 1 1274 1182 1 1274 1200 1 1274 1201 1 1274 1234 3 1274 1273 3 1274 1274 13 1274 1277 2 1274 1278 2 1274 1280 2 1274 1285 5 1274 1287 1 1274 1291 1 1274 1300 1 1274 1301 2 1274 1302 2 1274 1304 3 1274 1312 1 1274 1313 11 1274 1337 1 1274 1338 2 1274 1341 1 1274 1342 1 1274 1344 2 1274 1347 1 1274 1380 1 1274 1386 1 1274 1387 1 1274 1419 1 1274 1428 1 1274 1444 4 1274 1444 4 1274 .I 1275 .T College Libraries and Chemical Education .A Gross, P.L.K. .W The small college has stood staunch in its desire to supply the liberal education and perhaps it has done well in maintaining this position. On the other hand, many of the large universities have shifted the emphasis from undergraduate work to graduate study. Still others have tried to develop both side by side. Few of the small colleges have kept astride with the inevitable consequences of such a situation. The few who have are sending an increasing number of their graduates to these universities to complete their training. As an example of this, it is the boast of Pomona College that over seventy per cent of her graduates have taken subsequent professional training. It has become the evident duty, therefore, of the small college to prepare its men, not only to enter such graduate schools, but also to meet successfully the ever-increasing intensity of competition found there. This in addition to supplying a broad cultural education. This duty has brought with it a number of problems of first magnitude. One of the biggest of these is the problem of adequate library facilities. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss this problem with special reference to the student whose college major is chemistry. .X 14 1 1275 33 2 1275 36 2 1275 37 2 1275 40 1 1275 41 2 1275 48 1 1275 89 2 1275 97 4 1275 102 1 1275 111 2 1275 112 1 1275 132 1 1275 137 1 1275 163 1 1275 167 1 1275 183 1 1275 184 1 1275 185 1 1275 189 1 1275 193 2 1275 195 2 1275 196 2 1275 198 5 1275 199 2 1275 201 2 1275 203 2 1275 210 1 1275 211 1 1275 217 1 1275 219 1 1275 220 1 1275 221 1 1275 225 1 1275 233 1 1275 237 1 1275 253 1 1275 255 1 1275 269 1 1275 272 1 1275 359 1 1275 361 2 1275 373 1 1275 379 2 1275 415 1 1275 543 1 1275 545 2 1275 552 1 1275 587 1 1275 588 1 1275 605 1 1275 613 1 1275 614 4 1275 616 2 1275 618 4 1275 622 1 1275 632 2 1275 635 4 1275 638 4 1275 685 1 1275 735 4 1275 747 1 1275 748 2 1275 750 1 1275 753 2 1275 756 1 1275 757 1 1275 759 1 1275 766 1 1275 767 3 1275 772 1 1275 775 4 1275 776 1 1275 777 1 1275 782 1 1275 784 2 1275 787 1 1275 788 2 1275 789 3 1275 792 1 1275 793 1 1275 800 1 1275 808 1 1275 821 3 1275 831 1 1275 891 1 1275 905 4 1275 933 1 1275 952 6 1275 953 3 1275 977 1 1275 983 1 1275 1016 1 1275 1023 1 1275 1030 3 1275 1055 1 1275 1071 2 1275 1076 1 1275 1083 1 1275 1086 1 1275 1087 2 1275 1090 1 1275 1135 1 1275 1147 1 1275 1210 2 1275 1254 1 1275 1256 1 1275 1260 5 1275 1275 26 1275 1276 4 1275 1278 2 1275 1280 2 1275 1283 1 1275 1285 2 1275 1286 1 1275 1287 1 1275 1290 1 1275 1301 1 1275 1302 14 1275 1335 1 1275 1355 2 1275 1369 2 1275 1373 1 1275 1380 2 1275 1390 1 1275 1397 3 1275 1417 1 1275 1418 1 1275 1428 1 1275 1432 3 1275 1451 1 1275 1451 1 1275 .I 1276 .T Serial Literature Used by American Geologists .A Gross, P.L.K. Woodford, A.O. .W The present investigation deals with the serial literature of geology, including mineralogy. Six American journals for 1929 were chosen, and the references tabulated. In Table I are listed these source journals, together with the total number of pages of the actual articles studied, the total number of citations in each journal, the number of references to books and to personal communications, and the net total, which represents the citations to serial literature. It is these last mentioned references which will be considered in further detail. The totals are probably slightly high, due to unintentional counting in single articles of repetitions of the same citation. .X 33 1 1276 36 1 1276 37 1 1276 41 1 1276 89 1 1276 97 1 1276 102 1 1276 111 1 1276 112 1 1276 163 1 1276 183 1 1276 184 1 1276 193 1 1276 198 1 1276 199 1 1276 203 1 1276 210 1 1276 225 1 1276 255 1 1276 269 1 1276 373 1 1276 543 1 1276 545 1 1276 552 1 1276 587 1 1276 605 1 1276 613 1 1276 614 2 1276 638 2 1276 735 2 1276 747 1 1276 750 1 1276 753 1 1276 766 1 1276 767 1 1276 775 1 1276 782 1 1276 784 1 1276 788 1 1276 789 1 1276 793 1 1276 800 1 1276 808 1 1276 905 1 1276 952 2 1276 953 2 1276 977 1 1276 983 1 1276 1016 1 1276 1023 1 1276 1030 1 1276 1055 1 1276 1087 1 1276 1090 1 1276 1135 1 1276 1210 1 1276 1260 3 1276 1275 4 1276 1276 5 1276 1278 1 1276 1280 1 1276 1285 1 1276 1286 1 1276 1287 1 1276 1302 3 1276 1335 1 1276 1390 1 1276 1397 1 1276 1417 1 1276 1428 1 1276 1432 2 1276 1432 2 1276 .I 1277 .T Citation Indexes for Science .A Garfield, E. .W In this paper I propose a bibliographic system for science literature that can eliminate the uncritical citation of fraudulent, incomplete, or obsolete data by making it possible for the conscientious scholar to be aware of criticisms of earlier papers. It is too much to expect a research worker to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for the bibliographic descendants of antecedent papers. It would not be excessive to demand that the thorough scholar check all papers that have cited or criticized such papers, if they could be located quickly. The citation index makes this check practicable. Even if there were no other use for a citation index than that of minimizing the citation of poor data, the index would be well worth the effort required to compile it. This paper considers the possible utility of a citation index that offers a new approach to subject control of the literature of science. By virtue of its different construction, it tends to bring together material that would never be collated by the usual subject indexing. It is best described as an association-of-ideas index, and it gives the reader as much leeway as he requires. Suggestiveness through association-of-ideas is offered by conventional subject indexes but only within the limits of a particular subject heading. .X 19 1 1277 37 1 1277 39 2 1277 40 1 1277 41 1 1277

Deviations from the exponential curve are clearly related to war, depression, and recovery. If the total number of publications prior to 1868 is estimated by extrapolating from the curve of annual output, the cumulative grand total of mathematical titles grows from 41,000 in 1867 to 419,000 by the end of 1965. Deviations from an exponential growth of 2.5 percent per year are negligible except for two "pauses" during world wars, after which the observations continue parallel to the theoretical curve. The well-known hypothesis of exponential growth of the scientific literature is strongly confirmed but at a rate less than half that found by Price and other investigators. The discrepancy appears to be due to the failure of previous studies to take into account the titles published before the beginnings of the time series used. .X 33 4 1286 36 1 1286 41 1 1286 48 2 1286 61 1 1286 89 1 1286 97 1 1286 101 1 1286 102 1 1286 104 1 1286 105 1 1286 106 1 1286 111 1 1286 112 1 1286 163 1 1286 183 1 1286 184 1 1286 193 1 1286 199 1 1286 203 1 1286 210 1 1286 225 1 1286 233 1 1286 269 1 1286 373 1 1286 544 1 1286 545 1 1286 552 1 1286 560 1 1286 587 1 1286 605 2 1286 613 1 1286 614 1 1286 631 1 1286 638 1 1286 667 1 1286 735 1 1286 747 1 1286 750 2 1286 753 1 1286 766 1 1286 767 1 1286 775 2 1286 782 1 1286 784 2 1286 788 1 1286 789 1 1286 793 1 1286 800 2 1286 808 1 1286 905 1 1286 907 1 1286 953 1 1286 977 1 1286 983 1 1286 1016 1 1286 1023 1 1286 1030 1 1286 1055 1 1286 1063 1 1286 1081 1 1286 1082 3 1286 1087 1 1286 1088 1 1286 1090 1 1286 1135 1 1286 1142 1 1286 1255 1 1286 1260 1 1286 1268 1 1286 1275 1 1286 1276 1 1286 1278 1 1286 1280 1 1286 1285 3 1286 1286 7 1286 1287 4 1286 1302 1 1286 1308 1 1286 1312 1 1286 1334 1 1286 1335 2 1286 1338 1 1286 1341 1 1286 1346 1 1286 1380 1 1286 1390 1 1286 1397 1 1286 1417 1 1286 1428 1 1286 1432 1 1286 1432 1 1286 .I 1287 .T Citation Indexing and Evaluation of Scientific Papers .A Margolis, J. .W The spread of influence in populations of scientific papers may become a subject for quantitative analysis. .X 19 1 1287 33 5 1287 36 1 1287 37 1 1287 39 3 1287 40 1 1287 41 3 1287 47 1 1287 48 4 1287 50 2 1287 76 1 1287 88 1 1287 89 2 1287 95 1 1287 97 3 1287 101 1 1287 102 4 1287 103 1 1287 104 3 1287 105 2 1287 106 3 1287 110 2 1287 111 2 1287 112 2 1287 113 3 1287 155 1 1287 161 1 1287 163 1 1287 170 2 1287 175 1 1287 183 1 1287 184 1 1287 193 1 1287 199 1 1287 203 1 1287 210 1 1287 225 1 1287 233 3 1287 253 1 1287 269 1 1287 313 1 1287 359 1 1287 373 1 1287 377 1 1287 379 1 1287 395 1 1287 455 1 1287 456 1 1287 473 2 1287 486 1 1287 491 1 1287 505 1 1287 544 1 1287 545 2 1287 552 1 1287 560 3 1287 573 1 1287 582 1 1287 584 1 1287 587 2 1287 589 1 1287 605 3 1287 613 1 1287 614 1 1287 618 1 1287 632 3 1287 635 1 1287 638 1 1287 655 1 1287 667 4 1287 687 1 1287 735 1 1287 747 1 1287 748 1 1287 749 1 1287 750 2 1287 751 1 1287 753 1 1287 764 1 1287 765 1 1287 766 1 1287 767 1 1287 775 3 1287 777 1 1287 778 1 1287 782 2 1287 784 2 1287 788 1 1287 789 1 1287 793 3 1287 794 1 1287 800 3 1287 804 1 1287 805 2 1287 808 2 1287 893 2 1287 905 1 1287 952 1 1287 953 1 1287 977 1 1287 983 1 1287 1010 1 1287 1016 2 1287 1023 1 1287 1030 1 1287 1055 1 1287 1061 1 1287 1062 1 1287 1063 1 1287 1081 1 1287 1082 2 1287 1085 1 1287 1086 1 1287 1087 5 1287 1088 1 1287 1090 1 1287 1135 1 1287 1182 1 1287 1200 1 1287 1260 1 1287 1270 1 1287 1273 1 1287 1274 1 1287 1275 1 1287 1276 1 1287 1277 3 1287 1278 2 1287 1280 5 1287 1283 2 1287 1285 11 1287 1286 4 1287 1287 18 1287 1291 1 1287 1297 1 1287 1300 1 1287 1301 2 1287 1302 5 1287 1304 2 1287 1308 2 1287 1312 1 1287 1313 1 1287 1334 1 1287 1335 2 1287 1337 1 1287 1338 3 1287 1340 1 1287 1341 2 1287 1344 3 1287 1346 3 1287 1347 3 1287 1362 1 1287 1380 1 1287 1390 1 1287 1397 1 1287 1417 1 1287 1428 2 1287 1432 1 1287 1444 1 1287 1444 1 1287 .I 1288 .T Project Hindsight .A Sherwin, C.W.

It also invites a variety of statistical investigations, which must, however, be considered with prudence, since they may lead to misleading results. No matter how cautiously the authors express themselves, the casual readers, that is the majority, will treat the results as established facts and forget about the assumptions underlying them. This is also happening with the computer output for economic models, which is accepted as if it were experimental observation. .X 19 1 1304 37 1 1304 39 1 1304 40 1 1304 47 1 1304 48 1 1304 88 1 1304 97 1 1304 102 2 1304 103 1 1304 104 1 1304 108 1 1304 113 2 1304 233 1 1304 253 1 1304 313 1 1304 359 1 1304 377 1 1304 379 1 1304 395 1 1304 505 1 1304 560 1 1304 573 1 1304 618 1 1304 632 2 1304 635 1 1304 667 1 1304 748 1 1304 749 1 1304 751 1 1304 764 1 1304 765 1 1304 777 1 1304 778 1 1304 782 1 1304 804 1 1304 805 1 1304 893 1 1304 952 1 1304 1016 1 1304 1061 1 1304 1085 1 1304 1086 1 1304 1087 2 1304 1182 1 1304 1200 1 1304 1270 1 1304 1273 2 1304 1274 3 1304 1277 1 1304 1278 1 1304 1280 1 1304 1285 1 1304 1287 2 1304 1291 1 1304 1301 3 1304 1302 1 1304 1304 6 1304 1313 3 1304 1337 2 1304 1338 3 1304 1341 1 1304 1344 4 1304 1347 2 1304 1380 1 1304 1387 1 1304 1428 1 1304 1444 2 1304 1444 2 1304 .I 1305 .T Copyright, Public Policy, and Information Technology .A Henry, N.L. .W It is my purpose to single out two major information technologies that have already fostered considerable controversies - computer-based information storage and retrieval systems and photocopying technologies - and analyze the costs and benefits they have produced in various knowledge- sensitive circles of American society.

Gradually the study began to incorporate calculations of the effects of variable growth on a wide range of scientific concerns: studying, teaching, research, publishing, citations, the basis of scientific prestige, promotions, unemployment. It became apparent that generally unsuspected forces have a powerful influence on the careers of scientists and everyone else enmeshed in rapid change. This book presents some evidence for change and speculates about many effects. It also makes a beginning toward understanding the forces that cause and do not cause change. It may provide some solace for those in dormant fields who have wondered why life has passed them by. It may, perhaps, make a few highly successful scientists a little more modest. Most of all it may guide those who still have a choice - and so have we all. .X 33 2 1308 47 1 1308 48 1 1308 101 1 1308 102 1 1308 105 1 1308 113 1 1308 155 1 1308 503 1 1308 513 1 1308 544 1 1308 560 1 1308 587 1 1308 605 1 1308 638 1 1308 667 1 1308 750 1 1308 775 2 1308 793 1 1308 794 1 1308 800 2 1308 808 1 1308 1063 1 1308 1081 1 1308 1082 1 1308 1088 1 1308 1210 1 1308 1234 1 1308 1285 2 1308 1286 1 1308 1287 2 1308 1300 1 1308 1308 6 1308 1312 1 1308 1313 1 1308 1334 1 1308 1339 1 1308 1340 1 1308 1346 1 1308 1346 1 1308 .I 1309 .T Science and Information Theory .A Brillouin, L. .W A new scientific theory has been born during the last few years, the theory of information. It immediately attracted a great deal of interest and has expanded very rapidly. This new theory was initially the result of a very practical and utilitarian discussion of certain basic problems: How is it possible to define the quantity of information contained in a message or telegram to be transmitted? How does one measure the amount of information communicated by a system of telegraphic signals? How does one compare these two qualities and discuss the efficiency for coding devices? All of these problems, and many similar ones, are of concern to the telecommunication engineer and can now be discussed quantitatively. From these discussions there emerged a new theory of both mathematical and practical character. This theory is based on probability considerations. Once stated in a precise way, it can be used for many fundamental scientific discussions. It enables one to solve the problem of Maxwell's demon and to show a very direct connection between information and entropy. The thermodynamic entropy measures the lack of information about a certain physical system. Whenever an experiment is performed in the laboratory, it is paid for by an increase of entropy, and a generalized Carnot Principle states that the price paid in increase of entropy must always be larger than the amount of information gained. Information corresponds to negative entropy, a quantity for which the author coined the word negentropy. The generalized Carnot Principle may also be called the negentropy principle of information. This principle imposes a new limitation on physical experiments and is independent of the well-known uncertainty relations of quantum mechanics. .X 3 1 1309 60 1 1309 85 1 1309 149 1 1309 175 1 1309 258 1 1309 324 1 1309 346 1 1309 361 1 1309 388 1 1309 416 1 1309 457 1 1309 558 1 1309 585 1 1309 592 1 1309 593 1 1309 595 1 1309 665 1 1309 761 1 1309 803 2 1309 911 1 1309 1022 1 1309 1053 1 1309 1077 1 1309 1218 1 1309 1309 7 1309 1309 7 1309 .I 1310 .T Two Paradigms for Scientific Knowledge? .A Bloor, D. .W The growing interest in the sociology of science makes the publication of this collection of papers particularly timely because, in broad outline, it deals with the clash which occurs when the sociological approach makes incursions into the field normally occupied by philosophers of science. .X 88 1 1310 101 1 1310 168 1 1310 343 2 1310 902 1 1310 1271 1 1310 1272 1 1310 1310 5 1310 1311 1 1310 1386 2 1310 1399 1 1310 1399 1 1310 .I 1311 .T Is a Scientific Revolution Taking Place in Psychology? - Doubts and Reservations .A Warren, N. .W We were introduced by Kuhn to the notion of scientific progress as a series of qualitative changes, each involving the overthrow of a prevailing paradigm of thought by a new paradigm which alters the whole perspective of a science. Palermo has appropriately summarized Kuhn's analysis. It seems, if we judge by constant citations of Kuhn and the references to paradigms, crises and revolutions among scientists and philosophers, that he has induced a novel self-consciousness about the growth of scientific knowledge and the nature of cumulativeness in the expansion of understanding - and not least among psychologists. This may be in small part (though I doubt it) because one of psychology's concerns is the empirical study of the growth of knowledge: Jean Piaget, whose influence in some quarters has now become so great that he is hailed as a revolutionary in those quarters, has for several decades been developing a theory of the growth of knowledge - or, if you insist, of the development of cognition - which, like Kuhn's account (in his preface Kuhn acknowledges illumination from Piaget), eschews accumulation and posits a sequence of qualitative changes each of which completely reorganizes thinking. .X 343 2 1311 1271 5 1311 1272 4 1311 1310 1 1311 1311 6 1311 1329 1 1311 1386 3 1311 1387 1 1311 1387 1 1311 .I 1312 .T The Development of Specialities in Science: the Case of X-ray Protein Crystallography .A Law, J. .W This paper discusses the intellectual structure of a scientific specialty in great detail. .X 33 1 1312 95 1 1312 100 1 1312 101 1 1312 102 1 1312 105 1 1312 106 1 1312 107 1 1312 113 1 1312 314 1 1312 386 1 1312 544 2 1312 560 1 1312 605 2 1312 667 1 1312 750 1 1312 775 1 1312 800 1 1312 1063 1 1312 1081 1 1312 1082 1 1312 1088 1 1312 1273 1 1312 1274 1 1312 1285 2 1312 1286 1 1312 1287 1 1312 1300 1 1312 1308 1 1312 1312 5 1312 1313 2 1312 1316 1 1312 1334 1 1312 1345 1 1312 1386 1 1312 1389 1 1312 1389 1 1312 .I 1313 .T The Structure of Scientific Literatures I: Identifying and Graphing Specialities .A Small, H.

The central papers of his latest book argue and elaborate on this theme. He says: All work in science is work directed towards the growth of objective knowledge. We are workers who are adding to the growth of objective knowledge as masons work on a cathedral. I will first make some preliminary points about the word 'objective'. This will give substance to issues which are in danger of becoming too rarefied. Second, I will outline Popper's account of objectivity. Third, I will argue that despite the value of what he says, his approach is seriously misleading. I will propose a formula for systematically transforming Popper's theses and exposing what is important in them. This 'transformative method' points the way towards an entirely different conception of what makes knowledge objective. .X 343 1 1314 1314 6 1314 1316 1 1314 1387 1 1314 1387 1 1314 .I 1315 .T The Scientific Community .A Hagstrom, W. .W This work is concerned with the influence of scientific colleagues on the conduct of one another's research.

First the needs of practicing librarians, particularly those who are just beginning their careers, and require a general guide and source of operational and bibliographic information, have been given special consideration. A second purpose is to provide a textbook for library school and other advanced students whose interests are oriented toward the literature of the life and physical sciences. The book could also help persons in management positions of organizations in which the establishment of a library is contemplated, presenting, if only from a review of the contents, the scope of such a department. Finally it should be a good resource for library consultants engaged in assisting management to make the right decisions. The requirements of all of these audiences have been assessed and endeavor made to meet their somewhat varied requirements. .X 90 1 1318 231 1 1318 261 1 1318 295 1 1318 299 1 1318 334 1 1318 354 1 1318 406 1 1318 608 1 1318 610 1 1318 617 1 1318 620 1 1318 815 1 1318 938 1 1318 939 1 1318 962 1 1318 991 1 1318 992 1 1318 1205 1 1318 1221 1 1318 1318 7 1318 1365 1 1318 1374 1 1318 1390 1 1318 1390 1 1318 .I 1319 .T Scientific and Technological Communication .A Passman, S. .W My objective in this work has been to try to get at the fundamental aspects of the elements and media of scientific and technological communication and to describe the critical issues involving them as well as the opportunities and techniques for exploiting them which hopefully could aid both the "users" and the "handlers" of these important resources. .X 15 1 1319 89 1 1319 105 1 1319 110 1 1319 152 1 1319 155 1 1319 157 1 1319 313 1 1319 314 1 1319 356 1 1319 440 1 1319 447 1 1319 449 1 1319 533 1 1319 544 1 1319 560 1 1319 574 1 1319 582 1 1319 625 1 1319 656 1 1319 685 2 1319 803 1 1319 1030 1 1319 1050 1 1319 1062 1 1319 1209 1 1319 1256 1 1319 1284 1 1319 1285 1 1319 1290 1 1319 1291 1 1319 1293 1 1319 1294 1 1319 1295 1 1319 1296 2 1319 1297 1 1319 1319 8 1319 1346 1 1319 1386 2 1319 1386 2 1319 .I 1320 .T Scientists in Industry .A Kornhauser, W. .W This study analyzes relations between professional employees, the professions to which they belong, and the organizations for which they work. .X 99 1 1320 101 1 1320 102 2 1320 170 1 1320 1186 1 1320 1320 7 1320 1321 1 1320 1337 1 1320 1339 1 1320 1347 1 1320 1387 1 1320 1387 1 1320 .I 1321 .T Scientists in Organizations Productive Climates for Research and Development .A Pelz, D.C. .W This book is addressed to scientists and engineers, to administrators of research and development, and to all others who are concerned about the effects of organizations upon the work of their members. This book is one of the first major studies to examine the relationship between a scientist's performance and the organization of his laboratory. Unlike many previous expositions about the best environment for technical people, the findings resulted from extensive analysis of factual data from a wide range of research personnel. Work progressed over the next four years, and a number of intriguing results began to emerge. But as these were discussed with other investigators studying different kinds of R & D laboratories, discrepancies appeared. It became clear that a broader study was needed before one could be sure what constitutes a stimulating environment for research personnel. We set out to design a study in which standardized instruments would be administered to scientists and engineers in several types of laboratories. .X 4 1 1321 9 1 1321 15 1 1321 32 1 1321 96 3 1321 109 1 1321 131 1 1321 132 1 1321 137 2 1321 163 1 1321 207 1 1321 313 2 1321 356 1 1321 426 2 1321 456 1 1321 656 1 1321 658 1 1321 768 1 1321 771 1 1321 774 1 1321 783 1 1321 799 1 1321 811 1 1321 816 1 1321 913 1 1321 961 1 1321 962 1 1321 964 1 1321 968 1 1321 1068 1 1321 1150 2 1321 1154 1 1321 1186 1 1321 1203 1 1321 1320 1 1321 1321 18 1321 1407 3 1321 1408 2 1321 1445 1 1321 1454 1 1321 1454 1 1321 .I 1322 .T Selecting Materials .A Broadus, R.N. .W In reality, the building and shaping of the collection is the heart of librarianship, involving the essential philosophy of the profession.

These publications are now so profuse and at the same time so significant for library purposes that librarians generally should have a good grasp of their nature and of the modes of controlling them. Like rare books, serials give rise to frequent and sometimes intricate technicalities with which not only specialists but also head librarians, department heads, and others should be acquainted since serials are part and parcel of the workday library. .X 222 1 1324 267 1 1324 289 1 1324 342 1 1324 494 1 1324 515 1 1324 587 1 1324 792 1 1324 823 1 1324 840 1 1324 925 1 1324 948 1 1324 1219 1 1324 1324 6 1324 1416 1 1324 1417 1 1324 1417 1 1324 .I 1325 .T Simulation Teaching of Library Administration .A Zachert, M.J.K. .W The underlying concepts of simulation and experimential teaching methods presented in this book have been borrowed from other fields - business, governmental and education administration primarily. The values for library educators are not hypothetical, however, for the methodology has been successfully used over a period of time by a number of teachers, and in a variety of educational settings related to career training for librarians. Neither is the approach overpersonalized. Much of the telling is in personal terms, in order to limit generalization, to induce acceptance of responsibility and to provide concrete examples in terms of teaching library administration. The assumption is that it will be easier for library educators to react creatively to methodological discourse couched in library science terms than if the same methodology were described in terms of high finance, international politics, militarism, or secondary school planning. .X 1325 6 1325 1325 6 1325 .I 1326 .T Dictionary of Terms in Information Theory .A Zhdanova, G.S. .W This dictionary contains 3035 terms in information theory, its system of methods and practice.

At least a dozen different program packages, collections, or systems (not to mention hundreds of individual programs) have emerged by now and are in use by social scientists at universities and research centers all across the country. It is probably safe to say that the bulk of these systems and programs represent the individual efforts of a small group working at one institution, often operating under a relatively restricted set of research and computing assumptions. This parochial tendency has left students and researchers with the often bewildering and always time- consuming problem of learning new procedures for processing their data each time they change institutions (or each time the institution changes computers). .X 345 2 1328 1031 1 1328 1234 1 1328 1328 5 1328 1328 5 1328 .I 1329 .T The Social Construction of Reality A Treatise on the Sociology of Knowledge .A Armor, D.J. .W The present volume is intended as a systematic, theoretical treatise in the sociology of knowledge. It is not intended, therefore, to give a historical survey of the development of this discipline, or to engage in exegesis of various figures in this other other developments in sociological theory, or even to show how a synthesis may be achieved between several of these figures and developments.

Critical comments on other theoretical positions have been introduced (not in the text, but in the Notes) only where they may serve to clarify the present argument. .X 15 1 1329 21 1 1329 102 1 1329 105 2 1329 1030 1 1329 1063 1 1329 1235 1 1329 1271 1 1329 1272 1 1329 1311 1 1329 1329 5 1329 1386 3 1329 1387 1 1329 1389 1 1329 1389 1 1329 .I 1330 .T The Social Function of Science .A Bernal, J.D. .W The events of the past few years have led to a critical examination of the function of science in society. It used to be believed that the results of scientific investigation would lead to continuous progressive improvements in conditions of life; but first the War and then the economic crisis have shown that science can be used as easily for destructive and wasteful purpose, and voices have been raised demanding the cessation of scientific research as the only means of preserving a tolerable civilization. Scientists themselves, faced with these criticisms, have been forced to consider, effectively for the first time, how the work they are doing is connected with the social and economic developments which are occurring around them. This book is an attempt to analyze this connection; to investigate how far scientists, individually and collectively, are responsible for this state of affairs, and to suggest what possible steps could be taken which would lead to a fruitful and not to a destructive utilization of science. .X 37 1 1330 63 1 1330 771 1 1330 965 1 1330 1030 1 1330 1099 1 1330 1158 1 1330 1330 7 1330 1330 7 1330 .I 1331 .T Social Mobility in Industrial Society .A Lipset, S.M. .W In the present study, Professors Lipset and Bendix cast doubt on the validity of a number of widely accepted generalizations relating to social mobility: particularly (1) that there has been substantially less mobility in Europe than in the United States, (2) that social mobility tends to decline as industrial societies mature, and (3) that opportunities for entrance into the business elite become more restricted with mature industrialization. In a careful analysis of the existing literature, the authors marshal an imposing array of evidence in support of their major thesis that social mobility is an integral and continuing aspect of the process of industrialization. .X 93 2 1331 308 1 1331 438 1 1331 1217 3 1331 1331 6 1331 1340 2 1331 1340 2 1331 .I 1332 .T Social Organization of Hamadryas Baboons .A Kummer, H. .W Baboons have adapted to a variety of habitats ranging from West African rain forests to semidesert areas on the coast of the Red Sea. While all baboons are morphologically adapted to life on the ground, some species have become more independent of trees than others. In a rough ecological series, we find on one end the forest dwelling West African Species (Mandrillus leucophaneus, M. sphinx, Papio papio), none of which has so far been studied in the field. The first step into open country is realized by the savanna baboons of South and East Africa, including, from south to north, the species Papio ursinus, cynocephalus and anubis. Their social organization and its ecological context have been subject to long range field work by HALL (1962 a, b) in South Africa, by DEVORE (1962) in Kenya, and by ALTMANN and ALTMANN (in preparation) in Kenya ad Tanzania. In both regions, the groups can range far into the open grassland, but at night, they withdraw to high trees or, as in the Cape region, to vertical cliffs. .X 118 2 1332 412 2 1332 549 1 1332 1034 1 1332 1332 7 1332 1332 7 1332 .I 1333 .T The Social Psychology of Organizations .A Katz, D. .W In our attempts to extend the description and explanation of organizational processes we have shifted from an earlier emphasis on traditional concepts of individual psychology and interpersonal relations to system constructs. The interdependent behavior of many people in their supportive and complementary actions takes on a form or structure which needs to be conceptualized at a more appropriate collective level. Classical organization theory we found unsatisfactory because of its implicit assumptions about the closed character of social structures. The development of open-system theory, on the other hand, furnished a much more dynamic and adequate framework. Hence, our effort, in the pages that follow, is directed at the utilization of an open-system point of view for the study of large-scale organizations. .X 15 1 1333 139 1 1333 274 1 1333 298 1 1333 312 1 1333 348 1 1333 356 2 1333 436 1 1333 437 1 1333 954 1 1333 957 1 1333 959 1 1333 962 1 1333 1005 1 1333 1018 1 1333 1036 1 1333 1041 1 1333 1065 1 1333 1067 1 1333 1149 1 1333 1150 1 1333 1154 1 1333 1186 2 1333 1187 2 1333 1205 1 1333 1240 1 1333 1333 11 1333 1348 1 1333 1353 1 1333 1384 1 1333 1406 1 1333 1406 1 1333 .I 1334 .T Cognitive, Technical and Social Factors in the Growth of Radio Astronomy .A Mulkay, M.J.

Potential contributions to a discipline acquire credibility because they have been published in a reputable journal (Zuckerman and Merton, 1971). Who published what and where therefore becomes a central question in the understanding of scholarly, and in particular scientific, disciplines. There have recently been a number of investigations concerning the career of such publications. This career, I suggest, can be conceptualized into three stages. 1) Pre-publication. Here the scholar writes the article, circulates it to colleagues and perhaps presents it at formal and informal meetings (Garvey, Lin and Nelson, 1971). 2) Publication.

Here colleagues either ignore the published article or reward it through citations to it in their own work.

Reactions to it and applications of its concepts have been fairly numerous and I have myself had quite a few afterthoughts. It will therefore be difficult to bring these matters together in a passably structured paper. In the following, I shall limit myself to four broad areas of inquiry which have been so arranged that my own further reflections figure rather prominently though by no means exclusively in the first two sections while the latter two are more heavily weighted with reports and comments on the research and contributions of others. .X 1148 1 1336 1336 5 1336 1336 5 1336 .I 1337 .T Social Stratification in Science .A Cole, J.R. .W In recent years social scientists have given increased attention to problems of inequality, justice, and discrimination in American society. The influence of ascribed statuses on the life chances of individuals is being studied in an effort to estimate the "fairness" of social institutions in rewarding talent. Social scientists are trying to determine the extent to which so-called "irrelevant" characteristics influence the ways in which people are judged by social institutions and eventually reach social positions in the hierarchies of income, prestige, and influence. Of the major institutions in American society, science has received perhaps the least systematic attention. Little is known about how scientists achieve positions of renown. This book examines several aspects of a single basic question: is the stratification of individuals in science based upon the quality of scientific performance, or does discrimination obtain in the processes of status attainment? A more technical way of putting the same question would be to ask whether universalistic and rational criteria predominate as the basis for recognition in the social system of science. .X 48 2 1337 55 1 1337 99 1 1337 100 1 1337 102 2 1337 106 1 1337 108 2 1337 113 2 1337 170 1 1337 314 1 1337 545 1 1337 592 1 1337 632 1 1337 747 1 1337 777 1 1337 791 1 1337 893 1 1337 1085 1 1337 1087 1 1337 1200 1 1337 1270 1 1337 1273 2 1337 1274 1 1337 1285 3 1337 1287 1 1337 1291 1 1337 1301 2 1337 1304 2 1337 1313 1 1337 1320 1 1337 1337 6 1337 1338 3 1337 1344 1 1337 1347 1 1337 1386 1 1337 1387 1 1337 1444 1 1337 1444 1 1337 .I 1338 .T Notes and Letters .A Moravcsik, M.J.

It attempts to develop a theory of the social organization of science. I have tried to indicate its possible broader relevance by pointing out certain basic parallels between the "social system" of science and other social systems within society. I hope, further, that the approach used - even if not the specific conclusions I have drawn from it - may be useful in bridging the gap that seems now to exist between those sociologists who are concerned with society as an entity and who analyze social behavior in terms of its consequences for society as a whole and those sociologists who are concerned first of all with the motives, attitudes, and goals of the individual participants in these patterns of social behavior. My approach hopes to answer the question of why it is that most individuals, most of the time, come to "want" to do what it is that society "needs" them to do. Only when we can answer this question satisfactorily, can we develop a sociology capable of providing both prediction and meaning. .X 32 1 1339 89 1 1339 96 1 1339 102 1 1339 103 1 1339 105 1 1339 109 1 1339 297 1 1339 298 1 1339 343 1 1339 391 1 1339 560 1 1339 951 1 1339 952 1 1339 1050 1 1339 1296 1 1339 1308 1 1339 1315 1 1339 1320 1 1339 1339 9 1339 1340 1 1339 1345 2 1339 1365 1 1339 1386 2 1339 1406 1 1339 1406 1 1339 .I 1340 .T Social Theory and Social Structure .A Merton, R.K. .W Of the four chapters, added to this edition, two come from published symposia,one of which is out of print and the other of which, I am told, is nearing that same state of exhaustion. This chapter sets forth the concept of 'the influential,' identifies two distinctive types of influentials, the 'local' and the 'cosmopolitan,' and relates these types to the structure of influence in the local community. The second of these chapters, "Contributions to the Theory of Reference Group Behavior," draws upon the ample evidence provided by The American Soldier to formulate certain conditions under which people orient themselves to the norms of various groups, in particular the groups with which they are not affiliated. The other two chapters added to this edition have not been published before. The first of these, "Continuities in the Theory of Social Structure and Anomie," tries to consolidate recent empirical and theoretical analyses of the sources and consequences of that breakdown of social norms which is described as anomie. The second, "Continuities in the Theory of Reference Groups and Social Structure," tries to bring out some of the specially sociological, as distinct from the socio-psychological, implications of current inquiries into reference-group behavior. The intent is to examine some of the theoretical problems of social structure which must be solved before certain further advances can be made in the sociological analysis of reference groups. .X 48 1 1340 102 1 1340 104 1 1340 106 1 1340 110 1 1340 111 1 1340 112 2 1340 113 1 1340 128 1 1340 170 1 1340 173 1 1340 308 2 1340 343 1 1340 456 1 1340 545 1 1340 560 2 1340 646 1 1340 647 1 1340 652 1 1340 793 1 1340 823 1 1340 827 1 1340 888 1 1340 919 1 1340 1003 1 1340 1062 1 1340 1217 2 1340 1234 1 1340 1285 1 1340 1287 1 1340 1291 2 1340 1308 1 1340 1315 1 1340 1331 2 1340 1339 1 1340 1340 11 1340 1344 1 1340 1345 1 1340 1346 2 1340 1347 1 1340 1348 1 1340 1386 2 1340 1445 1 1340 1445 1 1340 .I 1341 .T Communication Nets in Science: Status and Citation Patterns in Animal Physiology .A Whitley, R.D. .W By virtue of its peculiar links with the reward system in science, the communication system plays a central part in the maintenance and growth of science. It is the means by which the individual scientist relates to the social system: he publishes his work to gain recognition, and reads the publications of others to maintain his knowledge. The formal communication system also forms the basis for the allocation of rewards: instrumental and consumatory. Thus it is a means of exercising social control. The informal communication system, although important, is the distaff side. Its recognition is personal with more immediate and consumatory rewards. Legitimation of objective or methods of work is rarely given by the social system through informal systems of communication, though it is growing in importance as an information dissemination system. .X 33 1 1341 39 1 1341 41 1 1341 48 1 1341 50 1 1341 89 1 1341 102 2 1341 103 1 1341 104 1 1341 105 1 1341 108 1 1341 113 2 1341 233 2 1341 473 1 1341 632 1 1341 748 1 1341 784 2 1341 791 1 1341 893 2 1341 1082 1 1341 1085 1 1341 1273 1 1341 1274 1 1341 1285 1 1341 1286 1 1341 1287 2 1341 1291 1 1341 1302 1 1341 1304 1 1341 1313 1 1341 1335 1 1341 1338 2 1341 1341 5 1341 1344 1 1341 1346 1 1341 1347 1 1341 1444 1 1341 1444 1 1341 .I 1342 .T Problem Areas and Research Networks in Science .A Mulkay, M. J. Gilbert, G. N. Woolgar, S. .W A general account is presented of the emergence, growth, and decline of scientific research networks and their associated problem areas.. Research networks are seen to pass through three phases.. The first, exploratory phase is distinguished by a lack of effective communication among participants and by the pursuit of imprecisely defined problems.. The second phase is one of rapid growth, associated with increasing social and intellectual integration, made possible by improved communication.. An increasingly precise scientific consensus gradually emerges from a process of negotiation, in which those participants who are members of the scientific elite exert most influence.. But as consensus is achieved the problem area becomes less scientifically fruitful; and as the network grows, career opportunities diminish.. Consequently, the third, final phase is one of decline and disbandment of the network, together with the movement of participants to new areas of scientific opportunity.. .X 99 1 1342 103 1 1342 104 1 1342 108 2 1342 170 1 1342 893 1 1342 1063 1 1342 1234 1 1342 1273 1 1342 1274 1 1342 1300 1 1342 1313 1 1342 1315 1 1342 1334 2 1342 1342 6 1342 1343 3 1342 1345 1 1342 1387 1 1342 1444 1 1342 1444 1 1342 .I 1343 .T The Seven Sexes: A Study in the Sociology of a Phenomenon, or the Replication of Experiments in Physics .A Collins, H.

Models of communication are set up, with reference to established fields.. A more marginal field is then investigated in the light of these models and it is concluded that scientists in the latter field should not be seen as engaged in replicating original experiment, but in negotiating the rules of replication, and hence the nature of the phenomenon under investigation.. .X 99 1 1343 103 1 1343 104 1 1343 108 2 1343 170 1 1343 893 1 1343 1316 1 1343 1334 2 1343 1342 3 1343 1343 7 1343 1345 1 1343 1386 1 1343 1387 1 1343 1387 1 1343 .I 1344 .T Some Correlates of a Citation Measure of Productivity in Science .A Bayer, Alan E.

Those historians and philosophers of science who express this point of view see the scientist who produces pedestrian research as an integral part of the developmental process.. The great men of science stand atop a pyramid of less distinguished and, to a large extent, invisible scientists.. An alternative hypothesis holds that relatively few scientists are responsible for advance in science and that, in the broader historical perspective, most of the eminent scientists, even of the calibre of Nobel laureates and National Academy members of today, are the "pedestrians" of history.. This paper attempts to put these conflicting ideas to empirical test for the field of physics.. Three independent sets of data are analyzed: one is drawn from a stratified random sample of American academic physicists, a second from a subjective evaluation of significant contributions to recent physics, a third from a set of papers cited in The Physical Review.. All three sets of data indicate that there is a sharp stratification in the use of work published by various types of scientists.. The data support the hypothesis that the physicists who produce important discoveries depend almost wholly on the research produced by a relatively small number of scientists.. The implications of these findings for the social structure of science are discussed and areas for necessary future research are suggested.. .X 33 1 1346 39 1 1346 48 2 1346 89 4 1346 102 3 1346 104 2 1346 105 3 1346 106 2 1346 110 2 1346 111 2 1346 112 1 1346 113 5 1346 155 1 1346 157 1 1346 161 1 1346 163 1 1346 170 1 1346 243 1 1346 312 1 1346 314 1 1346 356 3 1346 456 1 1346 544 2 1346 545 2 1346 560 4 1346 582 1 1346 592 1 1346 602 1 1346 607 1 1346 632 1 1346 656 1 1346 685 1 1346 784 1 1346 793 1 1346 893 1 1346 1030 2 1346 1050 1 1346 1062 2 1346 1200 1 1346 1234 1 1346 1256 1 1346 1273 1 1346 1280 1 1346 1284 1 1346 1285 4 1346 1286 1 1346 1287 3 1346 1290 1 1346 1291 3 1346 1293 2 1346 1294 1 1346 1295 1 1346 1296 2 1346 1297 1 1346 1298 1 1346 1300 1 1346 1302 2 1346 1308 1 1346 1319 1 1346 1340 2 1346 1341 1 1346 1344 1 1346 1346 9 1346 1347 3 1346 1386 2 1346 1444 1 1346 1444 1 1346 .I 1347 .T Inputs, Outputs, and the Prestige of University Science Departments .A Hagstrom, Warren O. .W This paper reports correlates of departmental prestige (American Council on Education rating of the quality of graduate faculty, 1966) for a sample of 125 departments in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.. The analysis mostly uses multivariate linear regression.. Large and significant correlations with departmental prestige exist for measures of department size, research production, research opportunities, faculty background (including quality of PhD university), and faculty awards and offices.. Combinations of from six to nine indicators of these variables account for about three-fourths of the variance in departmental prestige; when other types of variables are held constant, indicators of all except research opportunities remain significantly associated with departmental prestige.. Correlations of prestige with rates of inbreeding and the proportion of foreign doctorates are discussed.. Differences in the correlates of prestige are small among the four fields studied.. It is shown that prestige is correlated with average amount of informal scientific communication and with departmental morale even after possible confounding variables are held constant.. .X 19 1 1347 37 1 1347 39 2 1347 40 1 1347 41 1 1347 47 1 1347 48 1 1347 88 2 1347 89 1 1347 97 1 1347 99 1 1347 102 3 1347 103 2 1347 104 1 1347 105 1 1347 106 1 1347 107 1 1347 110 2 1347 111 3 1347 112 2 1347 113 4 1347 161 1 1347 163 1 1347 170 2 1347 233 1 1347 243 1 1347 253 1 1347 313 1 1347 356 1 1347 359 1 1347 377 1 1347 379 1 1347 395 1 1347 456 1 1347 505 1 1347 545 2 1347 560 3 1347 573 1 1347 592 1 1347 602 1 1347 607 1 1347 618 1 1347 632 2 1347 635 1 1347 667 1 1347 748 1 1347 749 1 1347 751 1 1347 764 1 1347 765 1 1347 777 1 1347 778 1 1347 782 1 1347 784 1 1347 793 1 1347 804 1 1347 805 1 1347 893 1 1347 952 1 1347 1010 1 1347 1016 1 1347 1030 1 1347 1061 1 1347 1062 1 1347 1085 1 1347 1086 1 1347 1087 1 1347 1182 1 1347 1200 1 1347 1273 1 1347 1274 1 1347 1277 2 1347 1278 1 1347 1280 1 1347 1283 1 1347 1285 2 1347 1287 3 1347 1291 1 1347 1293 1 1347 1296 1 1347 1298 1 1347 1300 1 1347 1301 1 1347 1302 4 1347 1304 2 1347 1313 1 1347 1315 1 1347 1320 1 1347 1337 1 1347 1338 1 1347 1340 1 1347 1341 1 1347 1344 4 1347 1345 1 1347 1346 3 1347 1347 9 1347 1380 1 1347 1428 1 1347 1444 2 1347 1444 2 1347 .I 1348 .T Sociology and Modern system Theory .A Buckley, W. .W This book is intended as an exploratory sketch of a revolutionary scientific perspective and conceptual framework as it might be applied to the sociocultural system. This point of view and still developing framework, as interpreted here, stems from the General Systems Research movement and the now closely allied fields of cybernetics and information or communication theory. The principal goal of the book is to bring to the attention of a larger number of social scientists, particularly sociologists, the wealth of principles, ideas, and insights that have already brought a higher degree of scientific order and understanding to many areas of biology, psychology, and some physical sciences to say nothing of the applied areas of technology to which they are essential. .X 308 1 1348 435 1 1348 557 1 1348 1036 1 1348 1067 2 1348 1069 1 1348 1333 1 1348 1340 1 1348 1348 7 1348 1389 1 1348 1389 1 1348 .I 1349 .T Sources of Information in the Social Sciences .A White, C.M. .W Documentation in the social sciences is varied in form and content, written for people in many walks of life, and fills several miles of shelving in libraries that try to keep up with it. Graduate students who qualify for positions as professional librarians have to learn about this vast preserve, and it is their need of guidance that explains the origin of this book. The task of this book is to place in the reader's hands a sort of chart and compass to use in finding his way around and learning how the system works. For each subject, the treatment falls into two parts. First a specialist, sought out for his grasp of the literature, presents a bibliographical review of basic monographic works for a collection of substantive material. This review is followed by a list of reference works. Informative annotations are provided for all works except those adequately explained by the title. Specialized works are included, especially when they exemplify types of sources important for reference purposes. First priority goes to works which may be looked upon as basic for a program of service to a general clientele made up of scholars, students and the public at large. If some stress falls on bibliographies, it is because they serve as controls for opening doorways to even vaster information and to sources that are more obscure. .X 405 2 1349 1349 7 1349 1349 7 1349 .I 1350 .T Soviet Bibliography .A Levin, M.I. .W The first and most basic phase of research was the analysis of existing bilbiographic publications. The chronicles of the All-Union Book Reserve, VINITI abstract journals, publications of subject information centers and main libraries, bulletins of new publications, as well as the main current foreign bibliography on some branches of knowledge were considered. After comparative analysis valuable data were obtained in the completeness of registration of literature and the efficiency of its reflection in different publications; on the types of classificatory schemes and intermediate instruments, on the quality of abstracts. The merits and drawbacks of basic bibliographic publications were shown, and recommendations for improving present bibliographic systems were suggested. .X 1101 1 1350 1104 2 1350 1190 2 1350 1350 7 1350 1350 7 1350 .I 1351 .T The Special Cataloguing .A Horner, J. .W We feel, meanwhile, that many materials can be covered by general or representative principles and rules. The content of this book can be viewed as of two types. Firstly, the first and last chapters deal with special materials in general, the former dealing with basic cataloguing principles and problems, and the latter with the ultimate application of such principles as manifested by the concept of the multi-media catalogue and as aided by the computer. Secondly, in between come chapters dealing with individual categories of materials in detail. Each category receives two types of treatment. First, the problems of both approaches and description are examined as they apply to the particular medium. Second, the solutions put forward by representative codes are summarized and commented upon. .X 141 1 1351 299 2 1351 333 2 1351 354 1 1351 404 1 1351 522 1 1351 530 1 1351 627 2 1351 628 2 1351 873 1 1351 874 2 1351 875 2 1351 876 1 1351 892 2 1351 941 2 1351 992 1 1351 994 1 1351 995 2 1351 996 1 1351 997 1 1351 998 1 1351 1079 2 1351 1153 1 1351 1189 1 1351 1251 1 1351 1351 7 1351 1396 1 1351 1420 2 1351 1434 2 1351 1435 2 1351 1442 2 1351 1442 2 1351 .I 1352 .T Evolving the 90% Pharmaceutical Library .A Basile, V.A.

Results obtained on the example used, "rehabilitation" as cited in Index Medicus during the years 1968-1971, were similar to those from five other fields, in that the number of journals required for each percent gain in literature coverage increased exponentially as the percentage of literature itself increased. As a consequence, library coverage of any particular field can be specified as a function of its budgeting commitment, so that the maximum percent coverage will be obtained for each dollar spent. .X 193 1 1355 195 1 1355 196 1 1355 198 1 1355 201 1 1355 219 1 1355 379 1 1355 543 1 1355 588 1 1355 614 2 1355 616 2 1355 638 2 1355 685 1 1355 735 1 1355 764 1 1355 775 1 1355 821 2 1355 905 1 1355 1111 1 1355 1114 1 1355 1275 2 1355 1290 1 1355 1302 3 1355 1355 5 1355 1369 2 1355 1397 1 1355 1397 1 1355 .I 1356 .T The Scientist Versus Machine Search Services: We are the Missing Link .A Maier, J.M. .W To take advantage of computerized data bases to improve their services to scientists without incurring prohibitive in-house expense, the librarians at the Boulder Laboratories have campaigned to increase awareness and utilization via personal interviews, seminars, surveys, and critiques. Data bases most studied were DDC, NASA, SIE, ASCA, and the University of Georgia.

The question should be, "What do you think I am communicating?" The answer would be surprising. Librarians are in the communications business. Theories of nonverbal communication and role can be adapted to a library situation. Applied, they would provide a basis for improving librarian-library user communication. Awareness of feedback is the key to this improvement. Preliminary investigations underway at the University of Southern California indicate the reference encounter provides a investigative approach in which this key can be utilized to enhance communication. .X 270 1 1357 274 2 1357 459 1 1357 532 1 1357 625 1 1357 646 1 1357 826 1 1357 927 1 1357 1008 1 1357 1017 2 1357 1049 1 1357 1263 3 1357 1357 5 1357 1405 1 1357 1405 1 1357 .I 1358 .T System Design, Evaluation, and Costing .A Herner, Saul .W The word "system" as applied to information programs and activities is one which is very foggily defined. The purpose of this paper is to help clarify the concept and discuss it in the context of the librarian's conventional planning and administrative activities. This is done through a narration of the step-by-step procedures followed in the conceptualization and design of an actual library and information program. The steps involved are the following: definition of the purpose of the program, and financial and administrative constraints on its design and operation, as envisaged by management; a user study to determine needs and preferences of the presumed audience of the program; analysis and definition of program performance requirements; selection of methods and mechanisms for implementing performance requirements; conceptualization and documentation of program design; evaluation of design; modification and completion of design. Two basic principles that are discussed and emphasized are the need to define what the program should be doing and what it should not be doing, and the need and means for determining real as opposed to apparent costs in the design process. .X 29 1 1358 61 1 1358 67 1 1358 70 1 1358 71 1 1358 72 1 1358 73 1 1358 95 1 1358 135 2 1358 175 1 1358 178 1 1358 206 1 1358 207 1 1358 208 1 1358 245 2 1358 249 1 1358 291 1 1358 382 1 1358 408 1 1358 458 1 1358 475 1 1358 481 1 1358 483 1 1358 485 1 1358 779 1 1358 780 1 1358 925 1 1358 967 1 1358 981 1 1358 982 2 1358 1007 1 1358 1038 1 1358 1281 1 1358 1317 2 1358 1358 5 1358 1359 2 1358 1360 1 1358 1400 2 1358 1402 2 1358 1410 1 1358 1417 1 1358 1417 1 1358 .I 1359 .T Time and Motion Study of Library Operations .A Kozumplik, W.A. .W Application of standard work measurement techniques to acquisitions, cataloguing, and circulation functions of an aerospace library is described.

This paper presents a means toward that end. The relatively new Planning-Programming-Budgeting System is described in the context of its proven utility in the Department of Defense and of its growing utility in the civil sector of organizations. It describes the system's background; its implementation in the federal government; its spread into non-federal sectors; and the system's methods, including systems analysis, applied economics, and quantitative reasoning. The paper includes illustrative example of results needed for decision-making by managers, and basic guiding principles for PPBS application. .X 74 2 1360 83 2 1360 245 2 1360 273 1 1360 279 3 1360 288 2 1360 331 1 1360 381 1 1360 408 1 1360 490 1 1360 496 1 1360 584 1 1360 591 1 1360 592 1 1360 723 1 1360 724 1 1360 834 1 1360 860 1 1360 925 2 1360 957 1 1360 975 1 1360 976 2 1360 982 1 1360 1148 1 1360 1183 1 1360 1227 1 1360 1317 2 1360 1353 2 1360 1358 1 1360 1359 3 1360 1360 5 1360 1400 2 1360 1402 1 1360 1410 1 1360 1424 1 1360 1424 1 1360 .I 1361 .T User Needs and Their Effect on Information Center Administration A Review 1953/66 .A Coover, R.W. .W A determination of the needs of users is absolutely essential to the management of an Information Center. Various techniques of doing this (e.g., interview, diary, questionnaire, etc.) are detailed along with their limitations. Some specific user need studies are described with their significant results. Interactions between users and an information system are described.

Its activities are designed to provide the Canadian scientific and industrial communities with direct and immediate access to the publications and information required in their day-to-day work. Through co-operative measures with both national and international information agencies, the NSL serves as the focal point of a national scientific and technical information network. The Library employs a variety of mechanized techniques to facilitate the storage, retrieval and dissemination of information. During the past three years it has operated an SDI service using CT and ISI tapes. In November 1968 this SDI service, which had been limited to meeting the needs of approximately 170 scientists in the Ottawa area, was expanded to provide a national SDI service. The author describes the evolution of these services from the local to national level, outlines basic techniques, describes the successes and failures of the system and indicates future developments. .X 13 1 1362 76 1 1362 121 1 1362 213 1 1362 243 1 1362 318 1 1362 329 1 1362 348 1 1362 442 1 1362 450 1 1362 465 1 1362 466 1 1362 491 1 1362 511 1 1362 565 1 1362 567 1 1362 582 1 1362 687 1 1362 720 1 1362 805 1 1362 859 1 1362 866 1 1362 914 1 1362 1087 1 1362 1150 1 1362 1186 1 1362 1285 1 1362 1287 1 1362 1297 1 1362 1302 1 1362 1362 11 1362 1363 2 1362 1363 2 1362 .I 1363 .T Current Awareness Publications An Evaluation .A Bloomfield, M. .W Three types of current awareness publications are defined in terms of their generation and distribution characteristics. These types are the SDI type, the intermediate type such as NASA's SCAN program, and the unselected type such as the usual library accession list. A fourth type, the indexing and abstracting journal is defined but not related to the other three types. The three current awareness publications are shown to have a relationship in terms of the number of requests they can produce from a given set of references or notices. The SDI system will produce about one request from ten notices; the intermediate type about one request per hundred notices; ad the unselected type, one request per thousand notices. Despite the differences in the number of notices to generate one request, the cost to produce one request is about the same for the three types of tools. Also, the usage of these tools is related to the amount of user time available and a curve is presented based on various assumptions to define this relationship. .X 13 1 1363 18 1 1363 34 1 1363 49 1 1363 53 1 1363 59 1 1363 76 1 1363 121 2 1363 164 1 1363 202 1 1363 213 2 1363 224 1 1363 243 1 1363 348 1 1363 421 1 1363 465 2 1363 466 2 1363 490 1 1363 491 1 1363 506 1 1363 507 1 1363 510 1 1363 512 1 1363 582 1 1363 591 1 1363 595 1 1363 603 1 1363 604 1 1363 622 1 1363 623 1 1363 629 1 1363 633 1 1363 639 1 1363 659 1 1363 676 1 1363 711 1 1363 720 1 1363 722 1 1363 723 1 1363 726 1 1363 728 1 1363 730 1 1363 731 1 1363 732 1 1363 809 1 1363 810 1 1363 813 1 1363 814 1 1363 820 1 1363 822 1 1363 828 1 1363 859 1 1363 870 1 1363 879 1 1363 914 1 1363 1091 1 1363 1283 1 1363 1298 1 1363 1299 1 1363 1362 2 1363 1363 5 1363 1366 1 1363 1367 1 1363 1368 1 1363 1396 1 1363 1396 1 1363 .I 1364 .T The New York Times Information Bank .A Rothman, J. .W The New York Times Information Bank is described in detail.

Shishko, R. .W An application of location theory to the question of centralized versus decentralized library facilities for a university, with relevance for special libraries is presented. Locating university libraries near classrooms, offices, and dormitories requires a larger budget than combining these libraries into a centralized facility. Yet there is a cost to the university community which does not appear in the university budget - a cost in time, energy, and decreased use resulting from locating the library a longer distance from users. The analysis provides models for a single library, for two or more libraries, or for decentralized facilities. .X 5 1 1365 90 2 1365 91 1 1365 96 1 1365 158 1 1365 222 1 1365 223 1 1365 231 1 1365 261 1 1365 295 1 1365 297 1 1365 298 1 1365 299 1 1365 334 1 1365 354 1 1365 368 1 1365 435 1 1365 494 2 1365 515 2 1365 608 1 1365 610 1 1365 615 1 1365 617 1 1365 620 1 1365 787 1 1365 792 2 1365 815 2 1365 840 2 1365 925 2 1365 938 1 1365 939 1 1365 951 1 1365 952 1 1365 957 1 1365 991 1 1365 992 1 1365 1023 1 1365 1219 1 1365 1221 1 1365 1227 1 1365 1318 1 1365 1339 1 1365 1365 5 1365 1390 2 1365 1400 1 1365 1401 1 1365 1401 1 1365 .I 1366 .T The Computerized File Management System .A Buginas, S.J.

Some users reported that the service had been a method of bypassing library reference works; others indicated that the service had brought them back into the library and made them aware of information sources previously unknown to them. .X 18 2 1367 34 1 1367 49 1 1367 53 1 1367 59 1 1367 119 1 1367 122 1 1367 124 1 1367 125 4 1367 145 1 1367 164 1 1367 165 1 1367 202 1 1367 211 1 1367 213 1 1367 224 1 1367 243 1 1367 365 1 1367 378 1 1367 381 1 1367 394 1 1367 421 1 1367 440 1 1367 448 1 1367 452 2 1367 453 2 1367 465 1 1367 466 1 1367 467 1 1367 468 1 1367 484 1 1367 490 1 1367 491 1 1367 495 1 1367 506 2 1367 507 1 1367 508 1 1367 510 1 1367 511 2 1367 512 2 1367 514 1 1367 516 1 1367 517 1 1367 518 1 1367 520 1 1367 521 2 1367 522 1 1367 523 2 1367 524 1 1367 526 3 1367 527 1 1367 528 3 1367 529 1 1367 575 1 1367 576 1 1367 580 1 1367 591 1 1367 595 1 1367 603 1 1367 604 2 1367 609 1 1367 610 1 1367 612 3 1367 615 1 1367 619 1 1367 622 2 1367 623 2 1367 625 1 1367 626 1 1367 629 2 1367 631 1 1367 632 1 1367 633 2 1367 636 1 1367 639 1 1367 659 1 1367 676 1 1367 699 1 1367 700 2 1367 705 2 1367 707 2 1367 711 1 1367 722 1 1367 723 2 1367 726 2 1367 727 2 1367 728 2 1367 729 1 1367 730 2 1367 731 2 1367 732 1 1367 754 2 1367 809 1 1367 810 1 1367 812 2 1367 813 2 1367 814 2 1367 817 1 1367 820 2 1367 822 2 1367 824 1 1367 828 1 1367 866 1 1367 870 2 1367 872 1 1367 873 1 1367 875 1 1367 879 1 1367 940 1 1367 1078 1 1367 1089 1 1367 1091 2 1367 1143 3 1367 1247 1 1367 1264 2 1367 1283 1 1367 1298 1 1367 1299 1 1367 1302 1 1367 1303 2 1367 1327 1 1367 1363 1 1367 1364 1 1367 1366 4 1367 1367 7 1367 1368 5 1367 1396 2 1367 1435 1 1367 1436 1 1367 1436 1 1367 .I 1368 .T Computer-Based Bibliographic Retrieval Services .A Park, M.K. .W The Information Dissemination Center has emerged as a broker or retailer for computer-based information retrieval services, interfacing with both the tape suppliers and with users of the search services. Five areas which impact the center's interface with these two communities are discussed: the nature of the data bases which are available for search; retrieval results and factors which affect them; the timeliness of services; costs and prices; and practical operational considerations related to library interests. Comparison shopping between centers is advised as centers differ considerably in the services which are offered, the data bases which are available, the experience of the information specialists who construct search profiles, pricing structures which are used, and the prices which are charged. Implications of the growing trend toward licensing and leasing information resources, especially magnetic tape services, are discussed briefly. .X 18 2 1368 34 1 1368 49 1 1368 53 1 1368 59 1 1368 114 1 1368 124 2 1368 125 3 1368 127 1 1368 129 1 1368 145 2 1368 164 1 1368 165 1 1368 169 1 1368 190 1 1368 191 1 1368 197 1 1368 202 1 1368 211 3 1368 213 1 1368 214 1 1368 218 1 1368 224 1 1368 243 2 1368 289 1 1368 307 1 1368 330 1 1368 345 1 1368 378 2 1368 381 1 1368 382 1 1368 400 1 1368 421 1 1368 440 1 1368 448 1 1368 450 1 1368 451 1 1368 452 4 1368 453 1 1368 459 3 1368 465 1 1368 466 1 1368 467 1 1368 468 2 1368 484 2 1368 490 1 1368 491 1 1368 492 1 1368 493 1 1368 495 1 1368 506 2 1368 507 1 1368 508 2 1368 510 1 1368 511 3 1368 512 3 1368 514 2 1368 516 1 1368 517 1 1368 518 2 1368 520 2 1368 521 2 1368 522 1 1368 523 3 1368 524 2 1368 525 1 1368 526 3 1368 527 1 1368 528 2 1368 529 2 1368 530 1 1368 534 1 1368 546 2 1368 548 1 1368 553 1 1368 575 1 1368 576 1 1368 579 1 1368 580 1 1368 591 1 1368 594 2 1368 595 1 1368 603 2 1368 604 3 1368 606 1 1368 609 2 1368 610 2 1368 611 1 1368 612 3 1368 615 1 1368 619 1 1368 622 2 1368 623 2 1368 625 2 1368 626 2 1368 627 1 1368 629 2 1368 630 1 1368 631 1 1368 632 1 1368 633 2 1368 636 2 1368 637 1 1368 639 1 1368 642 1 1368 646 1 1368 648 1 1368 650 1 1368 659 1 1368 676 1 1368 692 1 1368 696 1 1368 699 2 1368 700 2 1368 703 1 1368 705 3 1368 707 2 1368 708 1 1368 711 1 1368 722 1 1368 723 2 1368 726 3 1368 727 3 1368 728 3 1368 729 1 1368 730 2 1368 731 3 1368 732 2 1368 733 1 1368 734 1 1368 736 1 1368 738 1 1368 739 1 1368 740 1 1368 741 1 1368 742 1 1368 743 1 1368 744 1 1368 754 2 1368 755 1 1368 809 1 1368 810 1 1368 812 2 1368 813 2 1368 814 2 1368 817 1 1368 820 3 1368 822 2 1368 824 1 1368 826 2 1368 827 1 1368 828 1 1368 866 1 1368 870 2 1368 873 1 1368 875 1 1368 879 3 1368 883 2 1368 885 1 1368 990 1 1368 1004 1 1368 1035 1 1368 1051 1 1368 1073 1 1368 1078 2 1368 1089 2 1368 1091 3 1368 1143 1 1368 1207 1 1368 1264 2 1368 1283 1 1368 1297 1 1368 1298 1 1368 1299 1 1368 1302 1 1368 1303 4 1368 1327 1 1368 1356 2 1368 1363 1 1368 1364 2 1368 1366 4 1368 1367 5 1368 1368 9 1368 1370 2 1368 1372 2 1368 1373 1 1368 1374 2 1368 1375 2 1368 1376 2 1368 1377 2 1368 1392 1 1368 1396 2 1368 1414 1 1368 1448 1 1368 1448 1 1368 .I 1369 .T Journal Usage Survey Method and Application .A Langlois, D.C. Von Schulz, J.V. .W A survey of the R.E. Gibson Library's journal collection was conducted to determine 1) which journal titles could be discontinued, 2) which journal holdings could be moved to remote storage, and 3) which journal holdings could be converted to microfilm. Totals were maintained for three areas of journal usage according to: 1) the number of times patrons used current issues, 2) the number of times the journal issues were reshelved by library staff, and 3) the number of times that journals were cited in articles by Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) authors. The survey resulted in a 9.6% reduction in journal subscriptions which, in effect, added 7.5% additional shelf space in which to display journals. Further studies of the accumulated data are being made to determine which holdings will be sent to a remote storage area which is under construction. The survey data have been and will continue to be consulted before any journals are converted to microfilm. .X 48 1 1369 167 1 1369 193 2 1369 195 1 1369 196 2 1369 201 2 1369 203 1 1369 204 1 1369 205 2 1369 210 1 1369 219 1 1369 614 4 1369 635 1 1369 638 4 1369 748 1 1369 753 1 1369 756 1 1369 757 1 1369 764 1 1369 787 1 1369 792 1 1369 821 2 1369 831 1 1369 905 1 1369 952 1 1369 953 1 1369 977 1 1369 1083 1 1369 1210 1 1369 1254 1 1369 1256 1 1369 1260 1 1369 1275 2 1369 1278 1 1369 1302 3 1369 1352 1 1369 1355 2 1369 1369 5 1369 1373 1 1369 1397 1 1369 1418 1 1369 1418 1 1369 .I 1370 .T Computer Literature Searches in the Physical Sciences .A Murdock, L.

The machine searches furnished a higher percentage of unrelated materials. However, little staff time is required to obtain them. Lacking qualified persons to do literature searches, either in the library or in the research groups, greater use should be made of the available computerized searches. .X 18 1 1372 124 1 1372 127 2 1372 129 1 1372 145 1 1372 190 1 1372 191 1 1372 197 1 1372 211 1 1372 214 1 1372 218 1 1372 224 1 1372 243 1 1372 307 2 1372 330 1 1372 357 1 1372 376 1 1372 378 1 1372 450 1 1372 451 1 1372 452 1 1372 459 3 1372 468 2 1372 484 1 1372 492 1 1372 508 2 1372 511 1 1372 512 1 1372 514 1 1372 518 1 1372 520 1 1372 523 2 1372 524 2 1372 525 2 1372 526 1 1372 527 1 1372 529 2 1372 530 2 1372 534 2 1372 546 1 1372 547 1 1372 553 1 1372 579 1 1372 594 1 1372 603 1 1372 604 1 1372 606 1 1372 609 1 1372 610 1 1372 611 1 1372 612 1 1372 625 1 1372 626 1 1372 630 1 1372 633 1 1372 635 1 1372 636 2 1372 637 2 1372 642 2 1372 646 1 1372 648 1 1372 650 1 1372 692 1 1372 696 1 1372 699 1 1372 702 1 1372 703 2 1372 705 1 1372 708 1 1372 726 1 1372 727 1 1372 728 1 1372 730 1 1372 731 1 1372 732 2 1372 733 2 1372 734 2 1372 736 2 1372 738 1 1372 739 1 1372 740 1 1372 741 1 1372 742 1 1372 743 1 1372 744 1 1372 755 1 1372 820 1 1372 826 3 1372 827 2 1372 828 1 1372 845 1 1372 877 1 1372 879 3 1372 883 2 1372 885 1 1372 1004 1 1372 1035 1 1372 1078 1 1372 1089 1 1372 1091 1 1372 1207 1 1372 1264 2 1372 1297 1 1372 1303 1 1372 1356 4 1372 1364 1 1372 1368 2 1372 1370 3 1372 1372 8 1372 1373 1 1372 1374 5 1372 1375 2 1372 1376 2 1372 1377 2 1372 1383 1 1372 1396 2 1372 1396 2 1372 .I 1373 .T How Do Scientists Meet Their Information Needs? .A Chen, C. .W A survey of the information use patterns and communication practices of academic physicists in the greater Boston area reveals that academic physicists rely heavily on formal and informal sources of information. Their use of formal publications concentrates on a small number of journal titles. Time and location factors play an important role in their information seeking and gathering. A considerable number of the physicists surveyed do not seek librarians' help when searching for information in the library. Although libraries have been considered largely as storehouses of materials and librarians organizers of these materials, more active roles for librarians are possible. .X 48 1 1373 124 1 1373 127 1 1373 129 1 1373 161 2 1373 167 1 1373 190 1 1373 191 1 1373 197 1 1373 211 1 1373 214 1 1373 218 1 1373 243 1 1373 295 1 1373 300 1 1373 307 1 1373 330 1 1373 358 1 1373 378 1 1373 433 1 1373 450 1 1373 451 1 1373 452 1 1373 459 1 1373 468 1 1373 470 1 1373 484 1 1373 492 1 1373 508 1 1373 511 1 1373 512 1 1373 514 1 1373 518 1 1373 520 1 1373 523 1 1373 524 1 1373 525 1 1373 526 1 1373 529 1 1373 530 1 1373 534 1 1373 546 1 1373 553 1 1373 579 1 1373 594 1 1373 603 1 1373 604 1 1373 606 1 1373 609 1 1373 610 1 1373 611 1 1373 612 1 1373 614 1 1373 624 1 1373 625 1 1373 626 1 1373 630 1 1373 631 1 1373 635 1 1373 636 1 1373 637 1 1373 638 1 1373 642 1 1373 648 1 1373 650 1 1373 692 1 1373 696 1 1373 699 1 1373 703 1 1373 705 1 1373 708 1 1373 726 1 1373 727 1 1373 728 1 1373 731 1 1373 732 1 1373 733 1 1373 734 1 1373 736 1 1373 738 1 1373 739 1 1373 740 1 1373 741 1 1373 742 1 1373 743 1 1373 744 1 1373 748 1 1373 753 1 1373 755 1 1373 756 1 1373 757 1 1373 787 1 1373 792 1 1373 820 1 1373 821 1 1373 826 1 1373 827 1 1373 831 1 1373 879 1 1373 883 1 1373 937 1 1373 946 1 1373 952 1 1373 953 1 1373 1004 1 1373 1035 1 1373 1056 1 1373 1078 1 1373 1083 1 1373 1089 1 1373 1091 1 1373 1200 1 1373 1207 1 1373 1210 1 1373 1254 1 1373 1256 1 1373 1260 1 1373 1264 1 1373 1275 1 1373 1278 1 1373 1297 1 1373 1302 1 1373 1303 1 1373 1356 1 1373 1364 1 1373 1368 1 1373 1369 1 1373 1370 1 1373 1372 1 1373 1373 5 1373 1374 1 1373 1375 1 1373 1376 1 1373 1377 1 1373 1418 1 1373 1418 1 1373 .I 1374 .T Cost Comparison of Manual and On-Line Computerized Literature Searching .A Elman, S.A. .W Cost and searching time comparisons are made between manual and on-line literature searches. The formula Ctotal = (T X Csum) + P is presented which captures all on-line cost factors. A minimum cost of $1.00 per minute of on-line searching is derived. Average searching time for manual searching is 22 hours at a total cost of $250; for on-line it is 45 minutes at total cost of $47.00. It is pointed out that most reported low-on line search costs fail to account for all cost factors.

Firschein, O. .W There are many useful computer-readable data bases that are accessible only to major governmental units, universities, or industrial organizations. An experiment is described in which the public library is used as a "linking agent" between the public and such data bases. Retrieval terminals have been placed in four public libraries in Northern California to provide access to sixteen different data bases. The first year of this two-year experiment is described, and some of the technical, organizational, and economic aspects of the study are reviewed. Rapid acceptance of the system during this initial no-cost period has been achieved and useful evaluative data have been obtained. .X 124 1 1377 127 1 1377 129 1 1377 190 1 1377 191 1 1377 197 1 1377 211 1 1377 214 1 1377 218 1 1377 243 1 1377 307 1 1377 330 1 1377 378 1 1377 450 1 1377 451 2 1377 452 1 1377 459 2 1377 460 1 1377 468 1 1377 484 1 1377 492 1 1377 508 1 1377 511 1 1377 512 1 1377 514 1 1377 518 1 1377 520 1 1377 523 1 1377 524 1 1377 525 1 1377 526 2 1377 529 1 1377 530 1 1377 534 1 1377 546 2 1377 553 1 1377 579 1 1377 594 1 1377 603 1 1377 604 1 1377 606 2 1377 609 2 1377 610 1 1377 611 1 1377 612 2 1377 618 1 1377 625 1 1377 626 1 1377 630 1 1377 635 1 1377 636 1 1377 637 2 1377 641 1 1377 642 4 1377 645 1 1377 646 1 1377 648 1 1377 650 1 1377 692 1 1377 696 1 1377 699 1 1377 703 1 1377 705 1 1377 708 1 1377 726 1 1377 727 1 1377 728 1 1377 731 1 1377 732 1 1377 733 2 1377 734 2 1377 736 1 1377 738 1 1377 739 1 1377 740 1 1377 741 1 1377 742 2 1377 743 2 1377 744 3 1377 755 1 1377 820 1 1377 826 2 1377 827 1 1377 879 2 1377 883 2 1377 885 1 1377 1004 1 1377 1035 1 1377 1078 1 1377 1089 1 1377 1091 1 1377 1207 1 1377 1264 2 1377 1297 1 1377 1302 1 1377 1303 1 1377 1356 2 1377 1364 1 1377 1368 2 1377 1370 2 1377 1372 2 1377 1373 1 1377 1374 3 1377 1375 3 1377 1376 3 1377 1377 7 1377 1377 7 1377 .I 1378 .T Standards for Library Service: An International Survey .A Withers, F.N. .W In recent years, it has become recognized that a country's documentation and library services, indispensable for all forms of economic, social and cultural development, should be considered as one co-ordinated information system and accordingly included in any national development plans. However, planning can only be carried out if the necessary statistical data and other information are available. Unesco therefore concluded a contract in 1968 with the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) for a survey of standards for library services currently recommended for libraries of all types in different countries. The work was entrusted to F.N. Withers, a research fellow at the Polytechnic of North London School of Librarianship (United Kingdom). .X 234 1 1378 304 1 1378 306 1 1378 338 1 1378 646 1 1378 647 1 1378 651 1 1378 942 1 1378 943 1 1378 944 1 1378 948 1 1378 1017 1 1378 1049 1 1378 1206 1 1378 1237 1 1378 1378 7 1378 1440 1 1378 1450 1 1378 1453 1 1378 1453 1 1378 .I 1379 .T State Library Policy .A Stangelo, D. .W State library policy is the focus of this study. The approach to policy is framed in the broadest possible terms currently permitted by empirical research in the examination of governmental policy formation. A major purpose of the study is to analyze state library policy in relationship to the environment which provides the backdrop for its formation and maintenance. The authors see this ambitious effort as a pioneering thrust in library research and not as the final work on library policy. .X 214 1 1379 218 1 1379 232 1 1379 241 1 1379 250 1 1379 331 1 1379 340 1 1379 348 1 1379 358 1 1379 375 1 1379 406 1 1379 855 1 1379 896 1 1379 946 1 1379 948 1 1379 986 1 1379 1012 1 1379 1033 1 1379 1079 1 1379 1188 1 1379 1379 6 1379 1403 1 1379 1403 1 1379 .I 1380 .T Statistical Bibliography in Relation to the Growth of Modern Civilization .A Hulme, E.W. .W The following pages form the concluding portion of four lectures delivered by me in the University of Cambridge as Sandars Reader in Bibliography, 1921. As the two pairs of lectures appeal to widely different classes of the community, I have decided to print them separately, though the underlying theme is the same, viz. the need for uniformity in book classification as a preliminary to co-operative action in library administration and bibliography. Book classification is shelf classification, and shelf classification carried to its furthest limits leads necessarily to uniformity in the extension and definition of its classes. Add to this a chronological order of books in their classes and your scheme of classification acquires a new value; for it presents for each period a bibliographical counterpart of the corresponding growth of the activities of the human mind. My first two lectures dealt with this thesis in its practical application to library work and the compilation of subject bibliographies. Here statistical bibliography is considered in relation to the growth of modern civilization. Strictly speaking, the province of statistical bibliography ends with the presentation of the figures compiled. Their final interpretation should be left to those possessing the necessary qualifications. I am, therefore, conscious that in attempting to furnish some explanation of the interrelations of the various factors which are associated with the growth of modern civilization, I have outstripped the limits of bibliographical propriety. On this count I offer no defense. .X 19 1 1380 37 2 1380 39 2 1380 40 2 1380 47 1 1380 61 1 1380 88 1 1380 97 2 1380 102 1 1380 103 1 1380 199 1 1380 233 1 1380 253 2 1380 313 1 1380 359 1 1380 377 1 1380 379 4 1380 395 1 1380 470 1 1380 505 1 1380 560 1 1380 573 1 1380 618 3 1380 622 1 1380 632 1 1380 635 1 1380 667 1 1380 748 1 1380 749 2 1380 751 1 1380 764 1 1380 765 2 1380 777 2 1380 778 1 1380 782 1 1380 804 1 1380 805 1 1380 893 1 1380 907 1 1380 925 1 1380 952 1 1380 1016 1 1380 1018 1 1380 1030 1 1380 1032 1 1380 1061 1 1380 1083 1 1380 1085 2 1380 1086 2 1380 1087 2 1380 1182 1 1380 1200 1 1380 1201 1 1380 1255 1 1380 1268 1 1380 1274 1 1380 1275 2 1380 1277 1 1380 1278 1 1380 1280 1 1380 1285 1 1380 1286 1 1380 1287 1 1380 1301 2 1380 1302 3 1380 1304 1 1380 1313 1 1380 1338 1 1380 1344 1 1380 1347 1 1380 1380 8 1380 1428 1 1380 1444 1 1380 1444 1 1380 .I 1381 .T Statistical Methods for the Study of Lexicon .A Frumkina, R.M. .W This book studies the qualitative relations between text and dictionary compilation.

Chapter III considers various ways of describing the statistical properties of a text and its lexicon, and presents the results of the author's research on the statistic structure of Pushkin's lexicon. Chapter IV considers methods for comparing the vocabulary of texts. A new method for comparing word lists is suggested, which is then used for comparing word lists from the different geures in Pushkin's works. .X 26 1 1381 175 1 1381 361 1 1381 416 1 1381 664 1 1381 759 1 1381 761 1 1381 765 1 1381 1118 1 1381 1159 1 1381 1168 1 1381 1170 1 1381 1172 1 1381 1182 2 1381 1226 2 1381 1267 1 1381 1381 12 1381 1382 1 1381 1382 1 1381 .I 1382 .T Statistics and Semantics .A Moskovich, V.A. .W This monograph is one of the few works in which the possibility of studying semantics using statistical methods is proven with actual research.

Its preparation has been motivated by the belief that knowledge of the mathematics of abstract structures will be of value to investigators interested in various kinds of empirical structures. The mathematics with which we are concerned is known as the theory of directed graphs, or more briefly as digraph theory. It deals with abstract configurations called digraphs, which consist of "points" and "directed lines." When these terms are given concrete referents, digraphs serve as mathematical models of empirical structures, and properties of digraphs reflect structural properties of the empirical world. Since the same mathematical terms can be given a variety of empirical meanings, digraph theory has applicability to many different fields of investigation. .X 26 1 1385 109 1 1385 484 1 1385 654 1 1385 855 1 1385 972 1 1385 1232 1 1385 1385 5 1385 1427 1 1385 1427 1 1385 .I 1386 .T The Structure of Scientific Revolutions .A Kuhn, T.S. .B 1962 .W The essay that follows is the first full published report on a project originally conceived almost fifteen years ago.

At that time I was a graduate student in theoretical physics already within sight of the end of my dissertation. A fortunate involvement with an experimental college course treating physical science for the non-scientist provided my first exposure to out-of-date scientific theory and practice radically undermined some of my basic conceptions about the nature of science and the reasons for its special success. Those conceptions were ones I had previously drawn partly from scientific training itself and partly from a long-standing avocational interest in the philosophy of science. Somehow, whatever their pedagogic utility and their abstract plausibility, those notions did not at all fit the enterprise that historical study displayed. Yet they were and are fundamental to many discussions of science, and their failures of verisimilitude therefore seemed thoroughly worth pursuing. The result was a drastic shift in my career plans, a shift from physics to history of science and then, gradually, from relatively straightforward historical problems back to the more philosophical concerns that had initially led me to history. Except for a few articles, this essay is the first of my published works in which these early concerns are dominant. In some part it is an attempt to explain to myself and to friends how I happened to be drawn from science to its history in the first place. .X 15 1 1387 89 1 1387 101 1 1387 102 1 1387 105 3 1387 172 1 1387 191 1 1387 194 1 1387 212 1 1387 274 1 1387 308 2 1387 343 2 1387 417 2 1387 446 1 1387 458 1 1387 485 1 1387 514 1 1387 546 1 1387 572 1 1387 577 1 1387 579 1 1387 606 1 1387 610 1 1387 611 1 1387 612 1 1387 615 1 1387 626 1 1387 632 1 1387 640 1 1387 902 1 1387 1030 1 1387 1033 1 1387 1063 2 1387 1084 1 1387 1235 1 1387 1273 1 1387 1274 1 1387 1279 1 1387 1285 1 1387 1304 1 1387 1311 1 1387 1313 1 1387 1314 1 1387 1315 1 1387 1316 1 1387 1320 1 1387 1329 1 1387 1334 1 1387 1337 1 1387 1342 1 1387 1343 1 1387 1386 1 1387 1387 19 1387 1444 1 1387 1444 1 1387 .I 1388 .T Structure of Discourse .A Sevbo, I.P. .W This monograph studies the external links between the sentences within a paragraph.

Thereby, in contrast to certain versions of Durkheim that teach that the objective reality of social facts is sociology's fundamental principle, the lesson is taken instead, and used as study policy, that the objective reality of social facts as an ongoing accomplishment of the concerted activities of daily life, with the ordinary, artful ways of that accomplishment being by members known, used, ad taken for granted, is, for members doing sociology, a fundamental phenomenon. Because, and in the ways it is practical sociology's fundamental phenomenon, it is the prevailing topic for ethno-methodological study. Ethnomethodological studies analyze everyday activities as members' methods for making those same activities visibly-rational- and-reportable-for-all-practical-purposes, i.e., "accountable," as organizations of commonplace everyday activities. The reflexivity of that phenomenon is a singular feature of practical actions, of practical circumstances, of common sense knowledge of social structures, and of practical sociological reasoning.

Generally speaking, document specialists have tended to elaborate a large number of different codes, usually totally unrelated to each other, each conceived to meet the special documentation requirements of a particular organization. This is farther than ever - at least to all appearances - from the original intention of 1895 of the founders of the Institut International de Bibliographie (now known as the Federation Internationale de Documentation), i.e., the standardization of classification methods. .X 75 1 1391 154 2 1391 258 2 1391 259 1 1391 263 1 1391 388 1 1391 476 2 1391 477 5 1391 480 1 1391 516 1 1391 542 1 1391 653 2 1391 758 2 1391 838 4 1391 898 2 1391 1066 1 1391 1074 2 1391 1075 2 1391 1231 2 1391 1259 4 1391 1391 9 1391 1394 1 1391 1402 2 1391 1405 1 1391 1414 1 1391 1429 4 1391 1430 4 1391 1430 4 1391 .I 1392 .T Subject Analysis: Computer Implications of Rigorous Definator .A Harris, J.L. .W Subject analysis for information retrieval is an area which always seems deceptively simple to those without previous background in it, however extensive their background in specific subject disciplines may be. The basic requirement seems easy enough: to structure the statement of a subject in such a way that it can be placed into, and retrieved from, an ordered file. While attempts have been made to use simple, non-complex terms or even single words, it always becomes evident that single words are often insufficient to express a subject, and that some subjects are in themselves complex. To express such subjects requires either that their constituent concepts -- not words -- be separated and then recombined, or that only one part of the subject be shown. The former solution requires that the indexer perform the necessary analysis and synthesis, and then separate the constituents for the searcher to reassemble. The latter forces the seeker of information to sort through many items to find those bearing on the complex topic he wants, and ma require the indexer to decide under which part(s) of the concept an entry should be made. .X 16 1 1392 114 2 1392 154 1 1392 169 1 1392 194 1 1392 212 1 1392 235 1 1392 250 1 1392 289 2 1392 345 1 1392 400 1 1392 404 1 1392 458 1 1392 459 1 1392 493 1 1392 548 1 1392 627 2 1392 770 1 1392 796 1 1392 802 1 1392 863 1 1392 864 1 1392 897 1 1392 990 1 1392 1073 1 1392 1152 1 1392 1368 1 1392 1392 8 1392 1414 1 1392 1431 1 1392 1448 2 1392 1448 2 1392 .I 1393 .T The Subject Approach to Information .A Foskett, A.C. .W The first edition of this book, published in 1969, was prompted by changes in the Library Association syllabus which for the first time enables lecturers to treat classification and subject cataloging as different aspects of the same topic. These changes coincided with the publication of the results of the Cranfield project, which showed clearly that all indexing languages are basically the same. However, although it was possible to teach these new approaches, there was no one textbook which covered the subject approach in the way that I felt was needed. The first edition was intended to fill this gap, and its reception, both in Britain and abroad, showed that it did indeed fulfill a real need. It met with a very positive welcome from lecturers and - more importantly - from students, particularly in the United States, where British textbooks on classification had previously been regarded with something akin to suspicion. (As the Dean of one American library school is alleged to have remarked, 'What theory of classification?') .X 30 1 1393 71 1 1393 75 1 1393 77 1 1393 78 1 1393 79 1 1393 80 1 1393 81 1 1393 82 1 1393 83 1 1393 146 1 1393 154 1 1393 212 1 1393 247 1 1393 249 1 1393 257 1 1393 458 1 1393 581 1 1393 666 1 1393 715 1 1393 797 1 1393 798 1 1393 838 1 1393 853 1 1393 911 1 1393 930 1 1393 966 1 1393 1043 1 1393 1053 1 1393 1066 2 1393 1230 1 1393 1231 1 1393 1265 1 1393 1393 10 1393 1394 1 1393 1431 1 1393 1431 1 1393 .I 1394 .T Subject Catalogues Heading and Structure .A Coates, E.J. .W In 1955 the Publications Committee of the Library Association approached my chief, Mr. A.J. Wells, with a request that he should write a book on subject cataloguing. At the time, Mr. Wells was preoccupied with the inauguration of the British National Bibliography Card Service, and he made the suggestion, which was agreed by the Committee, that I should undertake the task. The result is scarcely an adequate substitute for the book which Mr. Wells would have written. Nevertheless, he has had a major part in shaping my views on subject cataloguing, and in this sense the present book stems back to him, though he might not subscribe to all the views now put forward. .X 42 1 1394 152 1 1394 154 1 1394 160 1 1394 257 2 1394 260 1 1394 324 1 1394 476 1 1394 477 1 1394 558 1 1394 600 1 1394 653 1 1394 714 1 1394 715 1 1394 746 1 1394 761 1 1394 781 1 1394 797 1 1394 798 1 1394 825 1 1394 901 1 1394 907 1 1394 1066 1 1394 1230 1 1394 1231 1 1394 1255 1 1394 1265 2 1394 1391 1 1394 1393 1 1394 1394 8 1394 1395 1 1394 1407 1 1394 1422 1 1394 1429 1 1394 1430 1 1394 1430 1 1394 .I 1395 .T Subject Headings: A Practical Guide .A Haykin, D.J. .W The alphabetical subject catalog, either self-contained, or as the subject element in the dictionary catalog, is a later development that the systematic, or classed, catalog (Realkatalog, catalogue raisonne). In this country it has almost completely displaced the latter. The principal classed catalogs now remaining are those of the Engineering Societies Library in New York, the John Crerar Library in Chicago, and the Science and Technology Department of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. There are, nevertheless, many things to commend the classed catalog. Rudolf Kaiser sums up the argument between the classed and the dictionary catalog by stating that a library needs both and explaining that the subject index fills the need as far as an alphabetical catalog is concerned. However, his conclusion misses the mark, since, for one not completely the master of the system of classification, there is no approach to the classed catalog save through an index, yet the index is not in fact as complete and direct a guide to the subject content of the library's collections as an alphabetical catalog rationally and fully cross-referenced. .X 79 1 1395 92 1 1395 159 1 1395 235 1 1395 246 1 1395 247 1 1395 324 1 1395 326 1 1395 333 1 1395 354 1 1395 361 1 1395 382 1 1395 502 1 1395 608 1 1395 825 1 1395 838 1 1395 874 1 1395 884 1 1395 887 1 1395 892 1 1395 950 1 1395 966 1 1395 970 1 1395 991 1 1395 997 2 1395 998 1 1395 1000 1 1395 1153 1 1395 1216 2 1395 1265 1 1395 1266 2 1395 1394 1 1395 1395 9 1395 1421 1 1395 1441 1 1395 1445 1 1395 1445 1 1395 .I 1396 .T Survey of Commercially Available Computer-Readable Bibliographic Data Bases .A Schneider, John H. Gechman, Marvin Furth, Stephen E. .W This document contains the results of a survey of 94 US organizations, and 36 organizations in other countries that were thought to prepare machine-readable data bases.. Of those surveyed, 55 organizations (40 in U.S., 15 in other countries) provided completed camera-ready forms describing bibliographic information about published literature.. The following types of data were requested for each data base: Name, frequency of issue, and time span covered by the data base; Name of organizations and individuals who can provide information on the data base; Subject matter and scope of data on the tape; Source of information in the data base (journal articles, reports, patents, monographs, etc.); Method(s) used for indexing or other types of subject analysis; Special data elements; Tape specifications (density, tracks, labels, etc.); Availability of programs for retrospective searching and selective dissemination of information (SDI); Type and cost of search services offered; and Availability and charges for data bases.. The information provided represents the status of these data bases as of November 1972.. It is anticipated that libraries and other information centers will find this document helpful in selecting data bases for providing SDI; retrospective search services, and other bibliographic reference services to their users.. .X 18 5 1396 34 1 1396 49 1 1396 53 1 1396 59 1 1396 91 1 1396 125 1 1396 127 3 1396 129 1 1396 141 2 1396 145 5 1396 164 2 1396 202 1 1396 211 1 1396 213 1 1396 224 2 1396 228 1 1396 243 1 1396 244 1 1396 299 2 1396 307 1 1396 329 1 1396 333 1 1396 357 2 1396 365 1 1396 376 4 1396 378 1 1396 416 1 1396 421 2 1396 439 1 1396 440 2 1396 442 1 1396 452 1 1396 453 1 1396 459 4 1396 465 1 1396 466 1 1396 467 2 1396 468 1 1396 490 1 1396 491 1 1396 495 2 1396 506 2 1396 507 1 1396 508 1 1396 510 1 1396 511 2 1396 512 2 1396 514 1 1396 517 1 1396 520 1 1396 521 1 1396 522 1 1396 523 1 1396 524 3 1396 525 1 1396 526 1 1396 527 1 1396 528 1 1396 529 2 1396 530 2 1396 534 1 1396 576 1 1396 580 2 1396 591 1 1396 595 1 1396 603 1 1396 604 2 1396 609 3 1396 611 1 1396 612 2 1396 619 1 1396 622 2 1396 623 2 1396 627 1 1396 628 1 1396 629 2 1396 630 1 1396 631 1 1396 632 1 1396 633 3 1396 635 1 1396 636 1 1396 637 1 1396 639 1 1396 642 1 1396 659 1 1396 676 1 1396 696 1 1396 699 1 1396 700 1 1396 702 1 1396 703 1 1396 705 1 1396 707 1 1396 711 1 1396 722 1 1396 723 2 1396 726 2 1396 727 2 1396 728 2 1396 729 1 1396 730 4 1396 731 2 1396 732 2 1396 733 1 1396 734 1 1396 736 1 1396 754 1 1396 809 2 1396 810 1 1396 812 1 1396 813 3 1396 814 2 1396 820 2 1396 822 3 1396 826 1 1396 827 1 1396 828 1 1396 854 1 1396 866 1 1396 870 3 1396 871 1 1396 872 1 1396 873 3 1396 874 2 1396 875 2 1396 876 2 1396 877 2 1396 878 1 1396 879 4 1396 880 1 1396 892 2 1396 910 1 1396 935 1 1396 940 1 1396 941 2 1396 990 1 1396 994 2 1396 995 1 1396 996 1 1396 997 2 1396 998 2 1396 1006 1 1396 1049 1 1396 1078 1 1396 1079 2 1396 1089 1 1396 1091 2 1396 1143 3 1396 1145 1 1396 1153 1 1396 1189 1 1396 1194 1 1396 1227 1 1396 1230 1 1396 1251 1 1396 1257 1 1396 1264 1 1396 1283 1 1396 1298 3 1396 1299 1 1396 1302 1 1396 1303 2 1396 1351 1 1396 1363 1 1396 1366 2 1396 1367 2 1396 1368 2 1396 1370 1 1396 1372 2 1396 1383 1 1396 1384 1 1396 1396 17 1396 1398 1 1396 1420 1 1396 1434 1 1396 1435 2 1396 1436 1 1396 1442 1 1396 1442 1 1396 .I 1397 .T Survey of the Interlibrary Loan Operation of the National Library of Medicine .A Kurth, W.

This concept - providing photoduplicates of desired materials in lieu of loaning the originals - stems from thinking enunciated by Atherton Seidell, a member of the Friends of the Army Medical Library who pioneered in the development of photoduplication services. .X 31 1 1397 33 1 1397 36 3 1397 41 2 1397 46 1 1397 76 1 1397 87 1 1397 89 2 1397 97 1 1397 102 1 1397 111 1 1397 112 1 1397 163 1 1397 181 1 1397 182 1 1397 183 3 1397 184 4 1397 185 1 1397 193 4 1397 195 2 1397 196 2 1397 198 3 1397 199 1 1397 201 5 1397 203 4 1397 204 2 1397 210 1 1397 211 1 1397 217 1 1397 219 1 1397 220 1 1397 225 1 1397 269 2 1397 373 2 1397 395 1 1397 415 2 1397 545 1 1397 552 4 1397 587 1 1397 605 1 1397 613 1 1397 614 2 1397 638 2 1397 735 2 1397 747 1 1397 750 1 1397 753 1 1397 760 1 1397 766 2 1397 767 2 1397 774 1 1397 775 1 1397 778 1 1397 782 1 1397 784 2 1397 788 1 1397 789 1 1397 793 1 1397 800 1 1397 808 1 1397 821 1 1397 828 1 1397 889 1 1397 891 3 1397 905 3 1397 926 1 1397 952 1 1397 953 2 1397 964 1 1397 968 1 1397 977 2 1397 983 1 1397 1009 1 1397 1016 1 1397 1018 1 1397 1019 1 1397 1023 1 1397 1030 1 1397 1055 2 1397 1087 1 1397 1090 1 1397 1135 1 1397 1147 1 1397 1203 1 1397 1240 1 1397 1256 1 1397 1260 1 1397 1275 3 1397 1276 1 1397 1278 1 1397 1280 1 1397 1285 1 1397 1286 1 1397 1287 1 1397 1302 2 1397 1335 1 1397 1352 1 1397 1355 1 1397 1359 1 1397 1369 1 1397 1390 1 1397 1397 11 1397 1417 2 1397 1428 1 1397 1432 2 1397 1432 2 1397 .I 1398 .T Switching and Finite Automata Theory .A Kohavi, Z. .W The subject of switching and finite automata theory needs no introduction. It has become a part of every computer science and electrical engineering curriculum, and rightly so. It provides techniques useful in a wide variety of applications and helps develop a way of thinking that leads to understanding of the structure, behavior, and limitations and capabilities of logical machines. In this book I have tried to cover the whole subject, starting with introductory material and leading to the more advanced topics, assuming a minimal technical background on the part of the reader. I did not attempt to provide detailed techniques for the design of specific circuits, but rather to formulate methods and to develop algorithms that can be applied to a broad class of problems. For once such general principles are understood, the relevance of specific procedures and their applicability to given problems are a matter of engineering decisions. .X 228 1 1398 329 1 1398 397 3 1398 416 1 1398 417 3 1398 430 4 1398 442 1 1398 443 4 1398 455 4 1398 464 3 1398 495 1 1398 511 1 1398 524 1 1398 745 4 1398 1194 1 1398 1204 3 1398 1396 1 1398 1398 5 1398 1427 3 1398 1427 3 1398 .I 1399 .T Syntactic Structures .A Chomsky, N. .W This study deals with syntactic structure both in the broad sense (as opposed to semantics) and the narrow sense (as opposed to phonemics and morphology). It forms part of an attempt to construct a formalized general theory of linguistic structure and to explore the foundations of such a theory. The search for rigorous formulation in linguistics has a much more serious motivation than mere concern for logical niceties or the desire to purify well-established methods of linguistic analysis. Precisely constructed models for linguistic structure can play an important role, both negative and positive, in the process of discovery itself. By pushing a precise but inadequate formulation to an unacceptable conclusion, we can often expose the exact source of this inadequacy and, consequently, gain a deeper understanding of the linguistic data. More positively, a formalized theory may automatically provide solutions for many problems other than those for which it was explicitly designed. Obscure and intuition-bound notions can neither lead to absurd conclusions nor provide new and correct ones, and hence they fail to be useful in two important respects. .X 21 1 1399 118 1 1399 149 1 1399 168 5 1399 175 1 1399 317 3 1399 320 1 1399 332 1 1399 417 1 1399 443 1 1399 546 1 1399 558 2 1399 572 2 1399 608 1 1399 628 1 1399 653 1 1399 902 2 1399 1046 3 1399 1118 1 1399 1265 1 1399 1310 1 1399 1327 1 1399 1386 1 1399 1399 11 1399 1443 1 1399 1443 1 1399 .I 1400 .T Systematic Analysis of University Libraries .A Raffel, J.A. .W As the administrators and librarians on every campus know, limited resources force hard choices among many desirable schemes for expanding and improving library facilities.

Long-established attitudes and methods were questioned, but although changes were made, the basic difficulty remained - a lack of objective information about the best ways of providing a library service in a university. The report of the UGC Committee on Librarys (the Parry Report (267)), which, in general, endorsed these changes, also stressed the need for research into all aspects of academic library provision. .X 36 1 1401 57 1 1401 81 1 1401 128 1 1401 129 1 1401 130 1 1401 158 1 1401 167 1 1401 184 1 1401 193 1 1401 195 1 1401 201 1 1401 203 1 1401 204 1 1401 205 1 1401 223 1 1401 225 1 1401 233 1 1401 234 1 1401 249 1 1401 267 1 1401 280 1 1401 288 1 1401 291 2 1401 292 2 1401 359 1 1401 393 1 1401 395 1 1401 468 1 1401 494 2 1401 515 1 1401 587 1 1401 591 1 1401 639 1 1401 646 1 1401 647 1 1401 651 1 1401 667 1 1401 748 1 1401 750 1 1401 751 1 1401 759 1 1401 765 2 1401 767 1 1401 768 1 1401 774 1 1401 778 1 1401 786 1 1401 787 1 1401 791 1 1401 792 2 1401 793 1 1401 800 1 1401 818 2 1401 822 1 1401 823 2 1401 827 1 1401 840 2 1401 841 1 1401 842 1 1401 843 1 1401 845 1 1401 865 1 1401 915 2 1401 925 5 1401 943 1 1401 944 1 1401 945 1 1401 948 1 1401 957 1 1401 959 1 1401 960 1 1401 961 4 1401 962 1 1401 972 1 1401 982 1 1401 984 1 1401 1020 1 1401 1070 1 1401 1081 1 1401 1082 1 1401 1083 1 1401 1085 2 1401 1086 1 1401 1201 1 1401 1242 1 1401 1253 1 1401 1278 1 1401 1317 1 1401 1353 1 1401 1365 1 1401 1374 1 1401 1390 1 1401 1400 1 1401 1401 12 1401 1417 2 1401 1418 1 1401 1437 1 1401 1437 1 1401 .I 1402 .T Systems Approach .A Churchman, C.W. .W There is no question that in our age there is a good deal of turmoil about the manner in which our society is run. Probably at no prior point in the history of man has there been so much discussion about the rights and wrongs of the policy makers, whether they be the politicians in Albany or Sacramento, in Washington, Paris, or Moscow, the managers of far-flung industrial firms, or the people who run educational institutions. In all cases the citizen feels a perfect right to have his say about the way in which the managers manage. Not only has the citizen become far more vocal, but he has also in many instances begun to suspect that the people who make the major decisions that affect our lives don't know what they are doing. They don't know what they are doing simply because they have no adequate basis to judge the effects of their decisions. .X 3 2 1402 61 1 1402 67 1 1402 70 1 1402 71 1 1402 72 1 1402 73 1 1402 75 1 1402 120 1 1402 128 1 1402 135 2 1402 154 2 1402 172 1 1402 175 1 1402 206 1 1402 207 1 1402 208 1 1402 244 1 1402 245 2 1402 291 1 1402 292 1 1402 350 1 1402 360 1 1402 382 1 1402 435 1 1402 458 1 1402 459 1 1402 477 1 1402 481 1 1402 483 1 1402 485 1 1402 575 1 1402 599 1 1402 621 1 1402 630 1 1402 692 1 1402 779 1 1402 780 1 1402 838 2 1402 898 1 1402 907 2 1402 925 2 1402 981 1 1402 982 2 1402 1067 1 1402 1074 2 1402 1075 2 1402 1219 1 1402 1268 1 1402 1317 1 1402 1358 2 1402 1359 1 1402 1360 1 1402 1391 2 1402 1400 1 1402 1402 10 1402 1410 1 1402 1417 1 1402 1426 1 1402 1429 2 1402 1430 2 1402 1456 1 1402 1456 1 1402 .I 1403 .T Targets for Research in Library Education .A Borko, H. .W Few librarians and library educators who criticize research relating to their fields realize in 1972 how far research has progressed during the last decade and a half. The criticism usually relates to the recognition that librarianship is more of a service and less of a fact- finding field of endeavor and that librarians are primarily trained to assist in the research activities of others rather than to conduct their own. One can add here that the average librarian who spends about forty hours a week on his job not always has the stamina to spend his free time on original research or the writing of proposals, which either are not adequately funded or are not published with the prominence hoped for. If the librarian-researcher commits his findings to writing, he is occasionally criticized for writing poorly or for having dwelled on topics of limited interest to the reviewer. Or he finds that while many praise his work there are no funds, possibilities, or opportunities to translate his conclusions into action. .X 128 1 1403 130 1 1403 171 1 1403 191 1 1403 217 1 1403 230 1 1403 232 1 1403 241 1 1403 243 1 1403 249 1 1403 331 1 1403 339 3 1403 358 1 1403 364 1 1403 370 1 1403 371 1 1403 376 1 1403 385 1 1403 387 3 1403 406 1 1403 453 1 1403 598 1 1403 616 1 1403 629 1 1403 648 1 1403 652 1 1403 779 1 1403 896 1 1403 923 1 1403 924 1 1403 946 1 1403 948 1 1403 1033 1 1403 1079 1 1403 1242 1 1403 1250 1 1403 1376 1 1403 1379 1 1403 1403 14 1403 1423 1 1403 1428 1 1403 1457 1 1403 1457 1 1403 .I 1404 .T Technical Libraries; users and their demands: a classification of user groups and user demands in technical libraries .A Slater, M. .W This study of the habits of customers of technical libraries and information departments had three main aims. 1. Determination of user demands: to discover what items of information or documents customers seek, why they seek them and how they obtain them. 2. Classification of user groups and their demands: to test a hypothesis; that it is possible to classify customers into meaningful user groups possessing recognizable common features and characteristic behavior patterns, and to classify group needs. 3.

S. .W This is an empirical study of information transfer in the R&D operations of large industrial corporations.. Its basis is a body of survey data collected from 2000 engineers and scientists in 13 establishments of four corporations and from 1200 members of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.. The data describe instances in which respondents acquired useful technical information from sources outside their immediate circle of colleagues.. The analysis is descriptive in character, following a functional approach in which the use of various means of information transfer is considered in relation to the purposes of technical work.. While the data, in general, confirm the results of other studies of this sort, they demonstrate also that the relative use of alternative means will vary significantly with the circumstances of their use.. The report explores the association of variations in a number of specific personal, organizational, and technological factors with variations in the use of sources of information.. In a more general interpretation of these findings, those variations are related to aspects of the goals of the work to which the information was applied.. The purposes of technical work are considered along two basic dimensions, one relating to the potential for contribution to the development of some body of systematic knowledge, the other to the support of particular operational objectives.. When the focus of work is on operational goals, local and informal sources account for most instances of information transfer.. Formal and more distant sources are the most common means used when the focus is on "professional" goals, i.e., those concerned with contributions to knowledge.. In conclusion, the report discusses the effects which management may have, within an organization, on the process of information transfer, and the need for managers and students of the process to take into account the interplay in this process of personal values, task requisites, and the structure of formal and social groups.. Firms need to establish two-way communication about needs and possibilities; by so doing they may enhance the effectiveness with which advances in knowledge are translated into innovations in technology meeting the needs of society.. .X 4 1 1407 9 1 1407 32 1 1407 42 1 1407 96 1 1407 137 1 1407 152 1 1407 163 1 1407 206 1 1407 207 2 1407 208 1 1407 270 1 1407 272 1 1407 356 1 1407 456 1 1407 714 1 1407 761 1 1407 768 1 1407 774 1 1407 783 1 1407 799 1 1407 811 1 1407 816 1 1407 907 1 1407 913 1 1407 925 1 1407 961 1 1407 962 1 1407 964 1 1407 968 1 1407 1068 1 1407 1203 1 1407 1205 1 1407 1317 1 1407 1321 3 1407 1394 1 1407 1407 5 1407 1445 1 1407 1445 1 1407 .I 1408 .T Technology and Information Transfer .A Rosenbloom, R.S. .W In 1963 research at the Harvard Business School was initiated by Richard Rosenbloom and Frank Wolek to describe the process by which technical information is communicated and used.

The MARC records provided a search data base for an experiment in current awareness service designed to furnish faculty with biweekly lists of bibliographic notices of new monographs in their specified fields of interest.. Of the 298 social sciences faculty members queried about their interest in participating, 209 (70 percent) responded affirmatively.. Only 40 participants could be accommodated, so they were chosen in proportion to the number of faculty members in each department or school: anthropology-l, business-10, economics-3, education-15, government-4, history-4, and sociology-3.. An "interest" statement from each faculty member was translated into both Library of Congress classification numbers (e.g., E6ll) and subject heading terms, i.e., elements of discrete heading separated by a comma, dash, parenthesis, or period (e.g., U.S.--HIST.--CIVIL WAR--PRISONERS, EXCHANGE OF becomes six terms: U/S/HIST/CIVIL WAR/PRISONERS/EXCHANGE OF).. The resulting "interest profiles" were recorded on punched cards for computer matching with subject headings and class numbers.. The weighted term search strategy was used in comparing profiles with MARC records.. Each profile was assigned a "cutoff weight" or "hit level" of 6.. Subject heading terms were assigned positive or negative weights so that the sum of weights on matching terms would be equal to, exceed, or be less than the hit level, thereby appropriately causing or preventing the selection of a particular record.. All class numbers were assigned a weight of 6 so that a hit would occur on any matching number.. Three computer programs were employed in producing the SDI lists.. Program Extract used MARC Master Tapes as input and extracted the card number (accession number), subject heading terms, and class number for current records; Program Retrieve compared these terms and class numbers with those in the profiles and recorded the card numbers for "hits"; Program Print compared these card numbers with those on complete MARC records and printed three copies of each record to be sent to the faculty.. One copy was for the faculty member's own use; one was to be evaluated and returned; and one was to be used for making recommendations to the library.. Subject headings proved to be more effective in searching the MARC file mainly because multiple subject headings may be assigned to each record, whereas there is only one class number; and a hit often occurred on a record's second or third heading.. The SDI system performed well in selecting performed well in selecting relevant records, and overall evaluations were highly favorable.. Some 73 percent of notices received by faculty members were for works judged new to the faculty. The majority felt that the SDI service provided an automatic, regular notification of new works.. They felt that it usually brought works to their attention quicker than other sources; it informed them of items they otherwise would have missed; it furnished a compact source listing books in all but only their fields; it required very little time; and it provided a convenient means for making library recommendations and therefore increased the amount of recommending done.. All faculty expressed a desire to have SDI service continued.. .X 59 1 1415 63 1 1415 64 1 1415 175 2 1415 243 1 1415 245 1 1415 355 1 1415 374 1 1415 382 1 1415 481 1 1415 482 1 1415 717 2 1415 718 1 1415 719 1 1415 781 1 1415 783 1 1415 834 1 1415 835 1 1415 848 1 1415 849 1 1415 850 1 1415 851 1 1415 852 1 1415 857 1 1415 859 1 1415 922 1 1415 925 1 1415 980 1 1415 981 1 1415 982 1 1415 1042 2 1415 1051 2 1415 1410 1 1415 1415 5 1415 1426 1 1415 1426 1 1415 .I 1416 .T Synthesis, Identification and Control of Distributed Parameter Systems .A Jain, Anil Kumar .W Many synthesis, identification and control problems that arise in distributed parameter systems are studied.. Two major approaches, viz., the frequency domain approach and the time domain approach, are considered.. The techniques developed overcome many difficulties that are associated with optimization problems in distributed parameter systems.. In the frequency domain, distributed systems described by the general (linear) telegrapher's equations are considered, over a finite band of frequencies.. An electric network, equivalent to these systems, is developed.. Many optimization problems, that are of practical interest, are formulated in terms of this new equivalent network.. Some of the basic principles of lumped network theory are applied to formulate these optimization problems.. Many advantages in the method of solution due to this formulation are discussed.. In the time domain, a method of characteristics is developed as a method of solution for optimization problems.. First and second order hyperbolic systems are considered.. Imbedding and Gradient techniques developed along the characteristics are shown to have numerous computational advantages.. It is shown that solving for Green's function (and associated eigenvalue problem) is not required..

To help ease the growing financial burden of housing their collections, many librarians have suggested employment compact storage depositories for little-used materials.. Two aspects to be considered in designing a storage system are: the fraction of the collection which is to be stored; and the criteria to be used for selecting materials for storage.. This study demonstrates that for a given selection criterion least-cost storage quantities can be assessed by balancing the large circulation costs and the small shelving costs associated with stored materials.. Two storage criteria, one based upon the age of the materials and the other utilizing the individual book usage rates, are discussed and compared.. For the age policy the objective is the determination of a least-cost critical age at which materials are transferred to storage and which defines the fraction of the collection that should be stored.. The model assumes that the circulation rate of the books decline with age according to an average geometric pattern of obsolescence.. The average time gap between the most recent circulations of books is utilized as the measure for rate of usage of a book.. The storage decision variable resulting from the minimization of the total cost function of the usage rate policy is a critical intercirculation gap, the maximum amount of time that a book should be permitted to remain in a working collection without being used.. Those books which are stored by the above rule might be those for which the time since last use exceeds the critical intercirculation gap.. Hence, although the least-cost selection rule is independent of the composite distribution of usage rates, the fraction of the collection stored depends upon the circulation activities of the individual libraries.. An empirical evaluation of the storage models was made using data collected from three libraries at Purdue University and estimates of cost parameters extracted from the literature.. Calculations for the least-cost decision rules and the related costs demonstrate that significant savings can be realized from storage of materials, but the calculations indicate that a large portion of the collection must be stored.. Comparisons of the age policy and the usage rate policy indicate that the latter criterion is preferred for all cases examined, including a situation where the usage rate policy is handicapped with a relatively high unit relocation cost.. Sensitivity analyses of the cost parameters for practical ranges of values show that the choice for the length of the planning horizon has a relatively insignificant effect on the decision rules; that changes in the capacity-related cost parameters will cause significant changes in the results; and that the rules are extremely sensitive to changes in the circulation cost differential.. An important component of the latter consideration is a rather subjective estimate for the cost of a service delay, which appears to have a potentially large influence on the decision rules.. .X 31 1 1417 33 1 1417 36 3 1417 41 2 1417 46 3 1417 57 1 1417 61 1 1417 62 2 1417 67 2 1417 70 1 1417 71 1 1417 72 1 1417 73 1 1417 81 1 1417 89 1 1417 97 1 1417 102 1 1417 111 1 1417 112 1 1417 115 1 1417 135 1 1417 163 1 1417 172 1 1417 175 1 1417 181 1 1417 182 1 1417 183 2 1417 184 3 1417 193 3 1417 195 2 1417 198 1 1417 199 1 1417 201 2 1417 203 2 1417 204 1 1417 205 1 1417 206 1 1417 207 1 1417 208 1 1417 210 1 1417 222 1 1417 225 1 1417 233 1 1417 267 3 1417 269 3 1417 280 1 1417 359 1 1417 360 1 1417 373 1 1417 382 1 1417 395 2 1417 415 1 1417 435 1 1417 458 1 1417 471 1 1417 481 1 1417 483 1 1417 485 1 1417 494 1 1417 515 1 1417 545 1 1417 552 1 1417 587 3 1417 605 1 1417 613 1 1417 614 1 1417 638 1 1417 667 1 1417 735 1 1417 747 1 1417 748 1 1417 750 2 1417 751 1 1417 753 1 1417 759 1 1417 760 1 1417 765 1 1417 766 1 1417 767 3 1417 774 1 1417 775 1 1417 778 2 1417 779 1 1417 780 1 1417 782 1 1417 784 1 1417 786 1 1417 787 1 1417 788 1 1417 789 1 1417 791 1 1417 792 2 1417 793 2 1417 800 2 1417 808 1 1417 823 1 1417 840 2 1417 891 1 1417 905 2 1417 907 1 1417 925 4 1417 948 1 1417 952 1 1417 953 2 1417 964 1 1417 968 1 1417 977 1 1417 981 1 1417 982 1 1417 983 2 1417 1009 1 1417 1016 1 1417 1018 1 1417 1019 3 1417 1023 1 1417 1030 1 1417 1055 1 1417 1081 1 1417 1082 2 1417 1083 1 1417 1085 1 1417 1086 1 1417 1087 1 1417 1090 1 1417 1135 1 1417 1184 1 1417 1187 1 1417 1201 1 1417 1203 1 1417 1219 3 1417 1240 1 1417 1260 1 1417 1268 1 1417 1275 1 1417 1276 1 1417 1278 2 1417 1280 1 1417 1285 1 1417 1286 1 1417 1287 1 1417 1302 1 1417 1324 1 1417 1335 1 1417 1358 1 1417 1359 1 1417 1390 1 1417 1397 2 1417 1400 1 1417 1401 2 1417 1402 1 1417 1410 1 1417 1416 3 1417 1417 13 1417 1418 3 1417 1426 1 1417 1428 1 1417 1432 1 1417 1450 1 1417 1450 1 1417 .I 1418 .T Journal Usage Patterns and their Implications in the Planning of Library Systems .A O'Neill, Edward True .W Access to the literature is an essential requirement for advanced research.. Libraries, particularly academic libraries, have traditionally borne the major responsibility for providing public access to the world's literature.. Most universities have developed rather complex multilibrary systems of specialized libraries in order to meet the needs of various groups which they serve.. This use of special libraries to meet the needs of particular groups has, generally, resulted in a somewhat arbitrary division of the literature by disciplines.. The purpose of this study is to investigate some of the effects that this division of the literature has on its accessibility and in particular to examine the disciplines, the interdisciplinary relationships, and the scattering characteristics as they are revealed by journal usage patterns.. These results are applied to the problem of planning and design of library systems.. Measures of journal productivity are proposed and means of actually estimating these measures, based on citations, usage, and abstract data are developed.. Each of these means of estimating journal productivity has its advantages and limitations.. Since these value measures are usually made relative to a particular discipline, many problems arise unless disciplines can be defined in comparable terms.. A "discipline wheel" is proposed which can serve as a conceptual framework in which to view the different disciplines.. This framework provides a basis for measuring the breadth of a discipline and also for measuring the similarity between two disciplines.. One of the more important characteristics which has emerged from the study of journal productivity is the concept of "scattering" of articles or "title dispersion".. A powerful tool for describing this phenomenon which has resulted from earlier studies is the Bradford distribution.. The Bradford distribution is fitted to over fifty groups of productivity data from various sources with mixed results.. Other possible distributions, particularly the Yule, Borel, and the Fisher distributions, are also considered.. The applications of productivity functions in the operation, design, and evaluation of library systems are virtually unlimited.. Their use in determining the size of a collection, finding the marginal value of adding additional journals to a collection, determining user convenience, and building mathematical models of library systems are among some of the applications which are considered.. It is also possible, based on productivity functions, to predict the comprehensiveness of a particular library system as a function of the number of subscriptions it receives.. The Purdue University Libraries provided an actual library system to which the above concepts could be applied.. A large set of citation data was collected.. This data consisted of 24,953 citations from 752 Ph.D. dissertations written in technical fields at Purdue University.. Complete records of the university's scientific journal holdings were also obtained.. The Bradford distribution is fitted to the citation data with generally satisfactory results.. The similarity between the different scientific disciplines is measured as is the similarity between the different libraries.. The breadth of the disciplines is also measured.. Differences between the journal usage patterns and the system's holdings are examined.. Alternate library system configurations are proposed and evaluated through the use of comprehensiveness functions.. This study shows that it is possible to quantitatively measure such concepts as title dispersion, breadth of a discipline, the similarity between disciplines, and others.. The quantification of these concepts leads to a basis for the design and evaluation of complete library systems.. .X 36 1 1418 48 1 1418 55 1 1418 57 1 1418 62 1 1418 167 1 1418 172 1 1418 184 1 1418 193 1 1418 195 1 1418 201 1 1418 203 1 1418 204 1 1418 205 1 1418 233 1 1418 267 1 1418 359 1 1418 360 1 1418 379 1 1418 395 1 1418 471 1 1418 587 1 1418 614 1 1418 635 1 1418 638 1 1418 667 1 1418 748 4 1418 750 1 1418 751 2 1418 753 1 1418 756 1 1418 757 1 1418 759 1 1418 765 1 1418 767 1 1418 778 3 1418 787 2 1418 791 1 1418 792 2 1418 793 1 1418 800 1 1418 804 1 1418 821 1 1418 831 1 1418 889 1 1418 907 1 1418 952 1 1418 953 1 1418 1081 1 1418 1082 2 1418 1083 2 1418 1085 3 1418 1086 1 1418 1182 1 1418 1201 1 1418 1210 1 1418 1219 2 1418 1254 1 1418 1256 1 1418 1260 1 1418 1268 1 1418 1275 1 1418 1278 2 1418 1302 1 1418 1369 1 1418 1373 1 1418 1401 1 1418 1417 3 1418 1418 7 1418 1426 1 1418 1426 1 1418 .I 1419 .T Utility of Automatic Classification Systems for Information Storage and Retrieval .A Litofsky, Barry .W Large-scale, on-line information storage and retrieval systems pose numerous problems above those encountered by smaller systems.. The more critical of these problems involve: degree of automation, flexibility, browsability, storage space, and retrieval time.. A step toward the solution of these problems is presented here along with several demonstrations of feasibility and advantages.. The methodology on which this solution is based is that of a posteriori automatic classification of the document collection.. Feasibility is demonstrated by automatically classifying a file of 50,000 document descriptions.. The advantages of automatic classification are demonstrated by establishing methods for measuring the quality of classification systems and applying these measures to a number of different classification strategies.. By indexing the 50,000 documents by two independent methods, one manual and one automatic, it is shown that these advantages are not dependent upon the indexing method used.. It was found that among those automatic classification algorithms studied, one particular algorithm, CLASFY, consistently outperformed the others.. In addition, it was found that this algorithm produced classifications at least as good, with respect to the measured established in this dissertation, as the a priori, manual classification system currently in use with the aforementioned file.. The actual classification schedules produced by CLASFY in classifying a file of almost 50,000 document descriptions into 265 categories are included as an appendix to this dissertation.. .X 45 1 1419 51 1 1419 62 1 1419 69 1 1419 71 1 1419 77 1 1419 79 1 1419 86 1 1419 168 1 1419 174 1 1419 175 2 1419 176 1 1419 310 2 1419 315 1 1419 318 1 1419 324 1 1419 363 1 1419 382 2 1419 389 1 1419 390 1 1419 409 1 1419 422 1 1419 448 1 1419 454 1 1419 462 1 1419 479 1 1419 480 1 1419 483 2 1419 484 1 1419 485 1 1419 486 1 1419 488 1 1419 491 1 1419 493 1 1419 503 1 1419 507 1 1419 509 1 1419 510 1 1419 512 1 1419 514 1 1419 517 1 1419 520 2 1419 522 1 1419 527 1 1419 528 1 1419 531 1 1419 564 1 1419 565 1 1419 566 1 1419 570 1 1419 576 1 1419 581 1 1419 586 1 1419 596 1 1419 603 1 1419 604 1 1419 608 2 1419 633 1 1419 636 1 1419 643 1 1419 659 2 1419 661 1 1419 662 1 1419 663 1 1419 678 1 1419 682 1 1419 715 1 1419 737 1 1419 754 1 1419 769 1 1419 790 1 1419 805 1 1419 809 1 1419 810 1 1419 812 1 1419 813 1 1419 814 1 1419 817 1 1419 820 1 1419 824 1 1419 825 1 1419 853 1 1419 875 1 1419 883 1 1419 894 2 1419 1051 1 1419 1274 1 1419 1294 1 1419 1313 1 1419 1327 3 1419 1419 7 1419 1427 1 1419 1427 1 1419 .I 1420 .T Time-Lag in Cataloging .A Pope, S.E. .W Any who have the arduous task of assisting a student through that ultimate of academic exercises, the preparation and defense of a dissertation, are likely to define happiness as a good book written by an advisee. This book is a cause of joy. The author expended much more effort than is usually the case to gain even the smallest detail, because the subject matter is strangely intractable, hedged round with perplexities and not a few vested interests. Letters and reports get locked away where they may not be seen except by the most persistent investigator and one who somehow meets criteria that no one else can claim. In the end, the author deserves the praise and the advisor is well rewarded with the inner satisfaction that comes from participation in an important investigation finished as an influential and well-written book. .X 141 1 1420 299 2 1420 333 2 1420 522 1 1420 530 1 1420 627 2 1420 628 2 1420 873 1 1420 874 2 1420 875 2 1420 876 1 1420 892 2 1420 941 2 1420 994 1 1420 995 2 1420 996 1 1420 997 1 1420 998 1 1420 1079 2 1420 1153 1 1420 1189 1 1420 1251 1 1420 1351 2 1420 1396 1 1420 1420 6 1420 1434 2 1420 1435 2 1420 1442 2 1420 1442 2 1420 .I 1421 .T Title Derivative Indexing Techniques; a comparative study .A Feinberg, H. .W The increasing volume of published literature continues to present problems in relation to information handling and information representation. As the magnitude and complexity of the available information has continued to increase, investigators have examined means of reducing the costly and time-consuming processes involved when human beings assign index terms to documents. Recognition of the general inadequacy of present indexing, and concern over time and cost factors in index preparation have prompted experimentation in the development and application of machines to assist in the indexing process. As a result, use of suitable mechanized or partly mechanized procedures to replace or complement the manual indexing process has become more widespread. Machine indexing is a process whereby mechanized or automatic selection or generation of indexing terms is accomplished. The present study investigates one aspect of automatic computer-based indexing, the permuted title index. .X 38 1 1421 52 1 1421 79 1 1421 150 1 1421 333 1 1421 361 1 1421 382 1 1421 449 1 1421 530 1 1421 553 1 1421 589 1 1421 603 1 1421 608 1 1421 628 1 1421 722 1 1421 802 1 1421 819 1 1421 825 1 1421 830 1 1421 874 1 1421 877 1 1421 878 1 1421 940 1 1421 941 1 1421 966 1 1421 992 1 1421 993 1 1421 995 1 1421 997 1 1421 1079 1 1421 1144 1 1421 1195 1 1421 1216 2 1421 1266 1 1421 1395 1 1421 1421 6 1421 1434 1 1421 1435 1 1421 1436 1 1421 1436 1 1421 .I 1422 .T Towards Information Retrieval .A Fairthorne, R.A. .W The selection of papers published here explores activities in which indefinite neglect of either aspect, the conceptual or the mechanical, will lead to practical and theoretical disaster. They centre on the recovery of records according to their subject matter. Since libraries began, librarians have evolved, studied, and taught procedures for indexing and classifying. These allow some delegation from subject specialists who understand the subject matter, to library staff who can recognize the ways in which specialists talk about it. The procedures consider mostly only the interpretation of texts, not the text itself as an object with recognizable marks subject to the laws of physics and the principles of engineering. They assume the problems of topic identification solved, and the methods for recovering physical texts as independent of the methods for describing the interpretations of texts. .X 73 1 1422 134 1 1422 160 1 1422 233 1 1422 306 1 1422 474 1 1422 477 1 1422 558 1 1422 566 1 1422 600 1 1422 653 1 1422 665 2 1422 746 1 1422 748 1 1422 765 1 1422 780 1 1422 781 1 1422 785 1 1422 786 1 1422 789 1 1422 791 1 1422 795 1 1422 901 1 1422 1030 1 1422 1045 1 1422 1250 1 1422 1307 1 1422 1386 1 1422 1394 1 1422 1422 7 1422 1422 7 1422 .I 1423 .T Training for Library Service: a report prepared for the Carnegie Corporation of New York .A Williamson, C.C. .W The primary purpose in preparing the following report was to present existing conditions in this country with respect to training for library work in such a way that the educator and the layman interested in educational problems might be able to form a true conception of the steps that should be taken to improve this phase of the library situation.

An effort has been made to discover and to point out the strong and weak points in the organization of these library schools and in the training which they offer. Many of the defects disclosed could be remedied by the schools themselves; others are due to extreme poverty and can be remedied only by increased income. .X 22 1 1423 171 1 1423 230 2 1423 274 1 1423 339 1 1423 387 2 1423 470 1 1423 585 1 1423 832 1 1423 934 1 1423 954 1 1423 1154 1 1423 1280 1 1423 1285 1 1423 1403 1 1423 1423 12 1423 1423 12 1423 .I 1424 .T University Library Administration .A Rogers, R.D. .W A university library is both a collegiate library and a research library. It is collegiate in its provision of books and other documentary records to support the students' program of instruction and to encourage the habit of reading and the use of libraries. As does the college library, the university library must also provide materials for use by the faculty members in the preparation of their courses of instruction and by the staff of the institution in the performance of their administrative responsibilities. However, the university library differs from the college library in offering a wider range of undergraduate programs, offering graduate instruction beyond the Master's level, and usually offering advanced professional programs in a number of fields. .X 7 1 1424 14 3 1424 74 1 1424 83 1 1424 153 1 1424 170 1 1424 223 1 1424 240 1 1424 245 1 1424 262 1 1424 266 1 1424 271 1 1424 273 1 1424 279 1 1424 288 1 1424 302 1 1424 331 1 1424 340 1 1424 381 1 1424 408 1 1424 431 1 1424 490 1 1424 496 1 1424 550 1 1424 559 1 1424 591 1 1424 592 1 1424 723 1 1424 724 1 1424 834 1 1424 843 1 1424 844 1 1424 860 1 1424 925 1 1424 939 1 1424 955 1 1424 957 1 1424 976 1 1424 1009 1 1424 1019 1 1424 1028 2 1424 1086 1 1424 1090 1 1424 1148 1 1424 1211 1 1424 1212 1 1424 1227 1 1424 1266 1 1424 1317 1 1424 1353 1 1424 1359 1 1424 1360 1 1424 1390 1 1424 1400 1 1424 1410 1 1424 1424 10 1424 1424 10 1424 .I 1425 .T Undergraduate Library .A Hoadley, I.B. .W The development of the separately housed undergraduate library on the modern university campus is a recent innovation - so recent, in fact, that in September, 1965, there were only six such libraries in the United States. The interest in effective undergraduate education which led to the creation of these libraries, however, is not of such recent origin. As early as 1608, when Thomas James was appointed to Bodley's Library, "he proposed the establishment of an undergraduate library to help the younger student. But Sir Thomas Bodley was opposed." So it is to Harvard that we turn for an example of the protracted concern for the undergraduate's plight. Despite the concern voiced by these earlier writers, most universities and their libraries were relatively small until this century. More important, they were largely undergraduate institutions. The great expansion of graduate education is a twentieth-century phenomenon. The problems of the undergraduate in using university collections were greatly compounded by the striking growth in the size of collections and by an increasing emphasis on the acquisition of materials suitable for research. The large university collections became increasingly difficult for the undergraduate to use. When he had to select his books from the card catalog and obtain them through paging in a closed-stack system, he might well abandon the attempt before finally locating a book which was not checked out, missing, or at the bindery - and which was suitable for his purposes. The university library was also difficult to use because it was crowded - study conditions were unsatisfactory and staff was insufficient to handle the volume of work. .X 262 1 1425 353 1 1425 365 1 1425 1068 1 1425 1203 1 1425 1211 1 1425 1212 1 1425 1266 1 1425 1425 5 1425 1425 5 1425 .I 1426 .T Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man .A Mcluhan, M .W With the advent of individual detribalized man, a new education was needed. Plato devised such a new program for literate men. It was based on the Ideas. With the phonetic alphabet, classified wisdom took over from the operational wisdom of Homer and Hesiod and the tribal encyclopedia. Education by classified data has been the Western program ever since. Now, however, in the electronic age, data classification yields to pattern recognition, the key phrase at IBM. When data moves instantly, classification is too fragmentary. In order to cope with data at electric speed in typical situations of "information overload," men resort to the study of configurations, like the sailor in Edgar Allan Poe's Maelstrom. "The medium is the message" means, in terms of the electronic age, that a totally new environment has been created. The "content" of this new environment is the old mechanized environment of the industrial age. .X 3 1 1426 39 1 1426 50 1 1426 59 1 1426 62 1 1426 63 1 1426 120 1 1426 140 1 1426 172 3 1426 175 1 1426 326 1 1426 355 1 1426 360 2 1426 446 1 1426 473 1 1426 481 1 1426 482 1 1426 485 1 1426 503 1 1426 572 1 1426 616 1 1426 632 1 1426 717 1 1426 718 1 1426 719 1 1426 773 1 1426 907 3 1426 958 1 1426 980 1 1426 1042 1 1426 1051 1 1426 1207 1 1426 1219 2 1426 1268 2 1426 1283 1 1426 1402 1 1426 1410 1 1426 1415 1 1426 1417 1 1426 1418 1 1426 1426 8 1426 1426 8 1426 .I 1427 .T Understanding Media: the extensions of man .A Winograd, T. .W When it was decided that Cognitive Psychology would not specify size limits for articles, and that we would publish relevant papers in artificial intelligence, we hardly anticipated devoting an entire issue to a single piece of work. However, Winograd's "Program for Understanding Natural Language" seems sufficiently general and important in its implications to warrant the experiment. Some readers will find sufficient the first two sections, which present, respectively, an overview of the system and what it does, and a first-rate evaluation of research in artificial intelligence on natural language processing, semantics, and theorem proving. Others will want to explore in detail the structure of the syntactic component, the treatment of semantics, and the programming language for specifying theories of problem solving. Each of these contributions is significant in its own right. Together they form a unique, integrated system capable of parsing, interpreting, and acting upon the information contained in complex natural language discourse. .X 26 1 1427 51 1 1427 54 1 1427 69 1 1427 71 1 1427 73 1 1427 77 1 1427 79 1 1427 168 1 1427 175 1 1427 176 1 1427 310 1 1427 315 1 1427 319 1 1427 320 1 1427 321 1 1427 332 1 1427 382 1 1427 397 3 1427 399 1 1427 417 3 1427 430 3 1427 443 3 1427 448 1 1427 455 3 1427 464 3 1427 480 1 1427 483 1 1427 484 3 1427 486 1 1427 488 1 1427 491 1 1427 493 1 1427 503 1 1427 507 1 1427 508 1 1427 509 2 1427 510 1 1427 512 1 1427 517 1 1427 519 1 1427 520 1 1427 522 1 1427 523 1 1427 526 1 1427 527 1 1427 528 2 1427 531 1 1427 534 1 1427 546 1 1427 565 2 1427 566 1 1427 579 1 1427 581 1 1427 594 1 1427 596 1 1427 603 1 1427 606 1 1427 608 1 1427 625 1 1427 626 1 1427 633 1 1427 637 1 1427 643 1 1427 659 1 1427 660 1 1427 715 1 1427 745 3 1427 754 1 1427 780 1 1427 785 1 1427 790 1 1427 805 1 1427 809 1 1427 810 2 1427 812 1 1427 813 1 1427 814 1 1427 817 1 1427 824 1 1427 825 1 1427 826 1 1427 830 1 1427 894 1 1427 1051 1 1427 1185 1 1427 1204 3 1427 1232 1 1427 1294 1 1427 1307 1 1427 1327 1 1427 1374 1 1427 1385 1 1427 1398 3 1427 1419 1 1427 1427 15 1427 1427 15 1427 .I 1428 .T Understanding Scientific Literatures: A Bibliographic Approach .A Donohue, J.C. .W As the author states, the methods he describes treat the growth of a scientific literature as a social phenomenon in its own right, not as a material byproduct of the knowledge and concepts of the science written about.

The purpose of this preliminary study is to attempt to discover how far it succeeds at present and how far and by what methods it may continue to succeed or be made to succeed in the future. One person (or two, for Brian Vickery is tackling the problem from the point of view of scientific and technological users) with however many helpful consultants can only hope to isolate some of the problems and to indicate some of the possible solutions. This, it is hoped, may prepare the ground and stimulate the critical and creative efforts of others towards fruitful developments. .X 75 1 1429 154 3 1429 257 1 1429 260 1 1429 476 2 1429 477 3 1429 653 2 1429 838 4 1429 898 2 1429 1066 1 1429 1074 2 1429 1075 2 1429 1231 1 1429 1255 1 1429 1259 2 1429 1391 4 1429 1394 1 1429 1402 2 1429 1429 5 1429 1430 5 1429 1430 5 1429 .I 1430 .T The Universal Decimal Classification and Technical Information Indexing .A Vickery, B.C. .W This study of the UDC sets out from the assumption that both general and special documentation services can make use of a general classification. On the other hand, it assumes that the criticisms of the UDC - the preference of some documentalists for alternative special schemes - imply that the UDC does not adequately provide the facilities currently needed. In examining these criticisms and some special schemes an effort is made here to elucidate those features of the UDC which prevent it from being more widely used and then to suggest how the UDC might be developed to provide the facilities needed. .X 75 1 1430 154 3 1430 257 1 1430 260 1 1430 476 2 1430 477 3 1430 653 2 1430 838 4 1430 898 2 1430 1066 1 1430 1074 2 1430 1075 2 1430 1231 1 1430 1255 1 1430 1259 2 1430 1391 4 1430 1394 1 1430 1402 2 1430 1429 5 1430 1430 5 1430 1430 5 1430 .I 1431 .T The Intermediate Lexicon .A Gardin, N. .W A new step towards international co-operation in scientific and technical information.

N. .W The output of scientific literature has been increasing exponentially since the second quarter of this century.. New journals in specialized branches of science keep appearing and established periodicals either multiply the number of volumes per year or split into different titles covering narrower subject areas in order to cope with the flow of communications received for publication.. The limited resources or libraries, particularly in the developing countries, do not permit them to increase library space or budget at a rate commensurate with this rise in publication.. Consequently research libraries in such countries as India must be highly selective in their acquisition programmes and to do so without detriment to the research interests of the institution they serve, they urgently need dependable data on the ranking of periodicals according to the particular research needs of their respective countries.. In this article an attempt is made to rank periodicals in the field of the biomedical sciences, from the point of view of the Indian scientist.. This method may also be followed in the libraries of other developing countries by changing the citing journals according to their country's needs.. .X 33 1 1432 36 1 1432 41 1 1432 76 1 1432 89 2 1432 97 1 1432 102 1 1432 111 1 1432 112 1 1432 163 1 1432 183 2 1432 184 2 1432 193 2 1432 198 1 1432 199 1 1432 201 1 1432 203 1 1432 204 1 1432 210 1 1432 225 1 1432 269 1 1432 360 3 1432 361 1 1432 373 1 1432 543 3 1432 545 1 1432 552 2 1432 587 1 1432 605 1 1432 613 1 1432 614 1 1432 638 1 1432 735 2 1432 747 1 1432 750 1 1432 753 1 1432 759 1 1432 766 2 1432 767 1 1432 775 2 1432 776 1 1432 782 1 1432 784 2 1432 788 1 1432 789 1 1432 793 1 1432 800 1 1432 808 1 1432 828 1 1432 905 1 1432 953 1 1432 977 1 1432 983 1 1432 1016 1 1432 1023 1 1432 1030 1 1432 1055 2 1432 1087 1 1432 1090 1 1432 1135 1 1432 1260 1 1432 1275 3 1432 1276 2 1432 1278 1 1432 1280 1 1432 1285 1 1432 1286 1 1432 1287 1 1432 1302 1 1432 1335 1 1432 1390 1 1432 1397 2 1432 1417 1 1432 1428 1 1432 1432 7 1432 1432 7 1432 .I 1433 .T Universal Bibliographical Control (UBC) .A Kaltwasser, Franz Georg .W The author outlines a plan for the systematic handling of bibliographical data from the time a book is printed anywhere in the world until its cataloguing in the libraries..

National and regional centres will supply input on new titles to the register and act as a link between the international centre and individual users. .X 119 1 1436 122 1 1436 141 1 1436 244 1 1436 299 1 1436 333 1 1436 361 1 1436 365 2 1436 394 1 1436 449 1 1436 453 1 1436 526 1 1436 528 1 1436 529 1 1436 530 1 1436 553 1 1436 612 1 1436 628 1 1436 630 1 1436 802 1 1436 819 1 1436 822 1 1436 854 1 1436 871 1 1436 872 3 1436 873 1 1436 874 2 1436 875 1 1436 876 1 1436 877 3 1436 878 4 1436 879 1 1436 880 1 1436 892 1 1436 939 1 1436 940 4 1436 941 3 1436 990 1 1436 992 1 1436 993 1 1436 994 1 1436 995 1 1436 996 1 1436 997 1 1436 998 1 1436 1079 2 1436 1080 1 1436 1143 2 1436 1216 1 1436 1230 1 1436 1247 1 1436 1257 1 1436 1264 1 1436 1303 1 1436 1367 1 1436 1396 1 1436 1421 1 1436 1434 1 1436 1435 4 1436 1436 6 1436 1441 1 1436 1441 1 1436 .I 1437 .T NATIS: the theme for the 1970s .A Green, S. .W In this article Stephen Green, a member of the British delegation to the Intergovernmental Conference on the Planning of National Documentation, Library and Archives Infrastructures, gives his views on the results of the conference and its implications for the future development of national information systems (NATIS) in member states. .X 128 1 1437 129 1 1437 130 1 1437 167 1 1437 223 1 1437 225 1 1437 234 1 1437 280 1 1437 335 1 1437 342 1 1437 393 1 1437 434 1 1437 468 1 1437 494 1 1437 639 1 1437 643 1 1437 644 1 1437 645 1 1437 646 1 1437 647 1 1437 651 1 1437 765 1 1437 818 1 1437 822 1 1437 823 1 1437 827 1 1437 881 1 1437 882 1 1437 885 1 1437 888 1 1437 904 1 1437 925 1 1437 943 1 1437 944 1 1437 947 1 1437 999 1 1437 1000 1 1437 1001 1 1437 1002 1 1437 1003 1 1437 1004 1 1437 1060 1 1437 1070 1 1437 1085 1 1437 1374 1 1437 1390 1 1437 1401 1 1437 1437 6 1437 1441 1 1437 1441 1 1437 .I 1438 .T An Unhurried View of Copyright .A Kaplan, B. .W Copyright protection became necessary with the invention of the printing press and had its early beginnings in the British censorship laws. The fortunes of the law of copyright have always been closely connected with freedom of expression, on the one hand, and with technological improvements in means of dissemination, on the other. Successive ages have drawn different balances among the interest of the writer in the control and exploitation of his intellectual property, the related interest of the publisher, and the competing interest of society in the untrammeled dissemination of ideas. It is this striking of balances in the law of copyright in the past, at present, and for the future, which constitutes the central theme of the James Carpentier Lectures delivered by Professor Benjamin Kaplan at the Columbia University School of Law in March, 1966. .X 337 1 1438 1438 5 1438 1438 5 1438 .I 1439 .T Union Library Catalogs in the United States .A Downs, R.B. .W This volume on union library catalogs in the United States presents the results of a nationwide survey of all aspects of union cataloging by a group of investigators who have been engaged with the task for more than a year.

This book is a tentative attempt to provide a treatise on this problem. As such it has to deal with both theoretical analysis and the practicality of solutions. No apology is made for the attention devoted to theoretical analysis, because the author believes that a clear conceptual understanding of the factors involved is important for improved librarianship. The fact that analytical models are not always usable does not mean that the insight that can sometimes be derived from such analyses will not lead to a better understanding of the problems and, thereby, to improved library services. .X 234 1 1440 304 1 1440 306 1 1440 338 1 1440 646 1 1440 647 1 1440 651 1 1440 942 1 1440 943 1 1440 944 1 1440 948 1 1440 1017 1 1440 1049 1 1440 1206 1 1440 1237 1 1440 1378 1 1440 1440 8 1440 1450 1 1440 1453 1 1440 1453 1 1440 .I 1441 .T Universal Bibliographic Control .A Anderson, D. .W IFLA will be nearly fifty years old when Dorothy Anderson's UBC paper is published. It is tempting to say that it is a half a century overdue. When librarians first began to look beyond their national borders, bibliographic control was in the forefront of their concern. Gradually, however, these pioneers of international librarianship began to realize that technical problems were too ambitious for multilateral action and in their discussions the emphasis was placed more on functions and organizations, on the social and even economic achievements of the international library community - which was not fully international at all - were limited to comparisons of national efforts, with some countries constantly over-critical and others overgenerous. Outstanding bibliographic projects, like the Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke, were international in scope, but national in conception. .X 92 1 1441 94 1 1441 121 1 1441 172 1 1441 235 1 1441 246 1 1441 247 1 1441 299 1 1441 326 1 1441 333 1 1441 361 1 1441 365 1 1441 434 1 1441 453 1 1441 530 1 1441 534 1 1441 541 1 1441 639 1 1441 652 1 1441 824 1 1441 825 2 1441 856 1 1441 872 1 1441 873 1 1441 874 1 1441 878 1 1441 880 1 1441 881 1 1441 886 1 1441 888 1 1441 913 1 1441 919 1 1441 920 1 1441 921 1 1441 939 1 1441 940 1 1441 941 1 1441 943 1 1441 947 1 1441 950 1 1441 963 1 1441 991 1 1441 996 1 1441 997 1 1441 1000 1 1441 1004 1 1441 1061 1 1441 1080 1 1441 1146 1 1441 1153 1 1441 1215 1 1441 1216 1 1441 1257 1 1441 1258 1 1441 1266 1 1441 1374 1 1441 1395 1 1441 1433 1 1441 1435 1 1441 1436 1 1441 1437 1 1441 1441 15 1441 1441 15 1441 .I 1442 .T The Universal Decimal Classification .A Foskett, A.C. .W This study represents the result of some fifteen years of contact with the Universal Decimal Classification, as a user, as a reviser and as a classification teacher. As a Information Officer at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, I was concerned with the use of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), both as classifier and as user of the resulting catalogues; I was also directly concerned as Liaison Officer for the Atomic Energy Research committee for UDC with the development of the Code of Practice which later became the basis of the Special subject edition for nuclear science and engineering. With accelerators; this work was carried out along the general lines indicated in this study, and is now part of UDC, which indicates that modern ideas can be accommodated within the scheme without undue strain. .X 141 1 1442 299 2 1442 333 2 1442 522 1 1442 530 1 1442 627 2 1442 628 2 1442 873 1 1442 874 2 1442 875 2 1442 876 1 1442 892 2 1442 941 2 1442 994 1 1442 995 2 1442 996 1 1442 997 1 1442 998 1 1442 1075 1 1442 1079 2 1442 1153 1 1442 1189 1 1442 1251 1 1442 1351 2 1442 1396 1 1442 1420 2 1442 1434 2 1442 1435 2 1442 1442 8 1442 1448 1 1442 1448 1 1442 .I 1443 .T Universals in Linguistic Theory .A Fillmore, C.J. .W We feel that a profound change has occurred in linguistic thinking in the last decade. It is not longer of any interest to describe one after another language 'anyhow' without regard to the relevance of the facts to general linguistic theory. As Ross put it, it makes no sense to talk about 'describing a language in terms of its own structure alone.' Toward the end of the conference, when it had become apparent that the general agreement did not encompass any currently explicitly formulated model, the question was raised: What should we be teaching our students? Langendoen's answer seems to us most apt: We should give them the ability to recognize a interesting linguistic problem when they see one, that is, one which throws some light - negative or positive - on our conceptions of what languages in general are like. .X 77 1 1443 79 1 1443 117 1 1443 168 4 1443 175 1 1443 317 2 1443 320 3 1443 488 1 1443 489 1 1443 493 1 1443 498 1 1443 499 2 1443 558 1 1443 570 1 1443 572 2 1443 581 1 1443 590 2 1443 659 1 1443 664 1 1443 790 1 1443 819 1 1443 1024 1 1443 1027 1 1443 1045 1 1443 1046 3 1443 1047 1 1443 1118 1 1443 1213 1 1443 1215 1 1443 1231 1 1443 1294 1 1443 1389 1 1443 1399 1 1443 1443 6 1443 1443 6 1443 .I 1444 .T The Case of Citation Data in Writing the History of Science .A Garfield, E. .W Can a computer write the history of science? Probably not in the sense usually implied. However, the research reported herein is a preliminary attempt to understand and define some basic problems that must be solved if computers are ever to aid the historian of science - no less supplant him. In this study, it was necessary to select a recent important scientific breakthrough which was based on the cumulation of years of diverse scientific achievement. For this reason we selected the discovery of the DNA code. For a concise historical description of the events, we then selected "The Genetic Code," a book by Dr. Isaac Asimov which describes the major scientific developments that eventually led to the duplication in the laboratory of the process of protein synthesis under control of DNA. .X 19 1 1444 37 1 1444 39 3 1444 40 1 1444 41 1 1444 47 2 1444 88 1 1444 89 1 1444 97 1 1444 102 1 1444 103 1 1444 106 1 1444 113 1 1444 144 1 1444 233 1 1444 253 2 1444 313 1 1444 359 1 1444 377 2 1444 379 1 1444 395 1 1444 505 1 1444 560 2 1444 573 1 1444 602 1 1444 618 2 1444 632 6 1444 635 1 1444 667 1 1444 677 1 1444 706 1 1444 748 1 1444 749 1 1444 751 1 1444 764 2 1444 765 1 1444 777 1 1444 778 1 1444 782 1 1444 784 1 1444 789 1 1444 804 1 1444 805 1 1444 893 1 1444 952 1 1444 1010 1 1444 1016 1 1444 1044 1 1444 1061 1 1444 1081 1 1444 1082 2 1444 1085 1 1444 1086 1 1444 1087 1 1444 1182 1 1444 1200 1 1444 1201 1 1444 1227 1 1444 1234 1 1444 1270 1 1444 1273 3 1444 1274 4 1444 1277 1 1444 1278 2 1444 1280 2 1444 1285 2 1444 1287 1 1444 1300 2 1444 1301 3 1444 1302 3 1444 1304 2 1444 1313 4 1444 1337 1 1444 1338 1 1444 1341 1 1444 1342 1 1444 1344 1 1444 1346 1 1444 1347 2 1444 1380 1 1444 1387 1 1444 1428 1 1444 1444 10 1444 1444 10 1444 .I 1445 .T User Requirements in Identifying Desired Works in Large Libraries .A Lipetz, B.A. .W The work reported here is a study of the utilization of the card catalog of a very large library, specifically the principal catalog of the library system of Yale University. The study was motivated by two basic concerns, one of them of a long-term, or exploratory, nature, the other of a short-term, or operationally supportive, nature. The long-term concern is the question of how to design a computerized catalog for a very large library that can be expected to give the best possible performance. The short-term concern is the question of whether, and, of so, how, existing card catalogs in very large libraries may be made more responsive to user requirements. It was recognized that a carefully designed study of actual utilization of a catalog of a large library could shed useful light in both areas of concern. .X 4 1 1445 9 1 1445 32 1 1445 57 1 1445 75 1 1445 96 1 1445 128 1 1445 132 1 1445 137 1 1445 163 1 1445 176 1 1445 207 1 1445 246 1 1445 265 1 1445 274 1 1445 276 1 1445 287 1 1445 329 1 1445 331 1 1445 348 1 1445 408 1 1445 456 1 1445 502 1 1445 554 1 1445 560 1 1445 565 1 1445 572 1 1445 584 1 1445 595 1 1445 596 1 1445 608 1 1445 619 1 1445 646 1 1445 647 1 1445 652 1 1445 654 1 1445 655 1 1445 768 1 1445 774 1 1445 783 3 1445 799 2 1445 810 1 1445 811 1 1445 812 1 1445 813 1 1445 814 1 1445 816 1 1445 823 1 1445 827 1 1445 851 1 1445 856 1 1445 857 1 1445 858 1 1445 859 1 1445 860 1 1445 861 1 1445 862 1 1445 870 1 1445 888 1 1445 894 1 1445 913 1 1445 919 2 1445 920 1 1445 922 1 1445 928 1 1445 961 1 1445 962 1 1445 963 1 1445 964 1 1445 968 1 1445 970 1 1445 990 1 1445 991 1 1445 1003 1 1445 1012 1 1445 1013 1 1445 1035 1 1445 1068 1 1445 1203 1 1445 1255 1 1445 1291 1 1445 1315 1 1445 1321 1 1445 1340 1 1445 1395 1 1445 1407 1 1445 1413 1 1445 1445 10 1445 1445 10 1445 .I 1446 .T Distill or Drown: The Need for Reviews .A Herring, C. .W The information explosion sparks a need for creative synthesis of facts and ideas.

Most of the text is concerned with vocabularies for post- coordinate retrieval systems, with special emphasis on thesauri and machine-based systems. Vocabularies for pre-coordinate systems (e.g., alphabetical subject catalogs and classified catalogs) are discussed only briefly to provide historical perspective and for the light they shed on the problems o vocabulary control in general. This type of vocabulary is well covered in existing texts. .X 30 1 1448 34 1 1448 38 1 1448 73 1 1448 114 2 1448 150 1 1448 154 1 1448 160 1 1448 168 1 1448 169 1 1448 175 1 1448 176 1 1448 194 1 1448 212 1 1448 257 1 1448 259 1 1448 263 1 1448 289 1 1448 317 1 1448 345 1 1448 363 1 1448 381 1 1448 382 1 1448 388 2 1448 400 1 1448 419 1 1448 434 5 1448 445 1 1448 449 1 1448 458 3 1448 459 2 1448 478 1 1448 483 1 1448 493 1 1448 501 1 1448 510 3 1448 514 1 1448 516 2 1448 520 1 1448 548 1 1448 582 1 1448 603 3 1448 627 2 1448 661 1 1448 702 1 1448 726 2 1448 733 1 1448 734 1 1448 738 1 1448 741 1 1448 755 1 1448 770 1 1448 796 1 1448 802 1 1448 807 1 1448 813 2 1448 820 2 1448 822 1 1448 827 1 1448 874 1 1448 990 1 1448 1073 1 1448 1075 1 1448 1091 1 1448 1118 1 1448 1162 1 1448 1164 1 1448 1215 1 1448 1231 1 1448 1255 1 1448 1265 1 1448 1279 1 1448 1368 1 1448 1392 2 1448 1413 3 1448 1414 4 1448 1431 1 1448 1442 1 1448 1448 27 1448 1448 27 1448 .I 1449 .T The Weapons Acquisitition Process: An Economic Analysis .A Peck, M.J. .W A distinctive feature of American weapons development and production is the use of private firms to carry forward most of the effort. This volume is primarily concerned with the government- business relationships within which these activities take place. Our title reflects our emphasis. Weapons Acquisition is defined to include the conception, development, and production of technically advanced weapons for ultimate use by the armed forces. Process emphasizes the flow of decisions and activities during weapons programs, including the actions, reactions, and interactions of government agencies and defense contractors. Economic Analysis indicates our concern with how these activities and relationships affect the quality, time, cost, and value outcomes of weapons programs. The principal objective of this volume is increased knowledge of these facets of weapons development and production. Such an objective classified the volume as a social science, rather than administrative study. Yet most social science research, however "pure" the form, is ultimately directed at changing public policy. That is the intention here, but this book does not conclude with a specific set of public policy recommendations. Rather, it is largely limited to providing understanding - a prerequisite to criticism, debate, revision, and improvement. .X 369 1 1449 423 1 1449 424 1 1449 425 1 1449 426 1 1449 427 1 1449 428 1 1449 561 1 1449 1039 1 1449 1040 1 1449 1154 1 1449 1449 5 1449 1449 5 1449 .I 1450 .T Weeding Library Collections .A Slote, S.J. .W This book is based upon two recent research projects in weeding and identifying core collections. However, it became apparent that the principles and techniques studied are applicable to almost all types of library collections. This work has been designed to be used for four distinct purposes: 1. As a comprehensive source summarizing the opinion, knowledge, and serious research in the field of weeding. The author's own research is reported in such detail that replication of the studies is possible. In addition, this book contains the first report of the Harrison study. 2. As a do-it-yourself guide for librarians wishing to weed out their present collections. It is the aim of this book not only to explain and justify its methods, but to include a step-by-step procedure for "weeding without tears." 3. As a textbook in library schools, especially in courses that deal with the acquisition and maintenance of library collections, for weeding is one of the best techniques available for the long-range building of useful collections. 4. As a stimulus to further study in this entire area. It is hoped that libraries using the recommended methods will measure and report upon the costs of weeding and the impact of such weeding upon changes in the amount of circulation and in user satisfaction. .X 46 1 1450 115 1 1450 234 1 1450 304 1 1450 306 1 1450 338 1 1450 646 1 1450 647 1 1450 651 1 1450 942 1 1450 943 2 1450 944 1 1450 948 1 1450 983 1 1450 1017 1 1450 1021 1 1450 1023 1 1450 1049 1 1450 1203 1 1450 1206 1 1450 1237 1 1450 1378 1 1450 1417 1 1450 1440 1 1450 1450 9 1450 1453 1 1450 1453 1 1450 .I 1451 .T Some Behavioral Patterns of Library Users: The 80/20 rule .A Trueswell, R.L. .W A characteristic of inventory in business or industry is that approximately 80 percent of the number of transactions taken from a warehouse represents about 20 percent of the items stocked. This may also be considered as a ranking of stock items by their transaction activity which will show that the top 20 percent of the stocked items (i.e., the most active items) account for about 80 percent of the total number of transactions. The rule is sometimes expressed as the 75/25 rule with the same interpretation. It is only by coincidence that the figures add to 100 as the phenomena relate to the relationships between the two statistical measures. .X 2 1 1451 24 1 1451 31 1 1451 74 1 1451 75 1 1451 76 1 1451 111 1 1451 119 1 1451 122 1 1451 132 1 1451 137 1 1451 139 1 1451 152 1 1451 155 1 1451 183 2 1451 193 1 1451 195 1 1451 201 1 1451 203 1 1451 204 1 1451 210 1 1451 269 1 1451 336 1 1451 475 1 1451 552 1 1451 684 1 1451 760 1 1451 767 1 1451 774 1 1451 775 1 1451 778 1 1451 788 2 1451 789 2 1451 955 1 1451 961 1 1451 977 2 1451 1011 1 1451 1055 1 1451 1056 1 1451 1203 1 1451 1275 1 1451 1352 1 1451 1451 6 1451 1451 6 1451 .I 1452 .T The Wiswesser Line-Formula Chemical Notation (WLN) .A Smith, E.G. .W The line-formula chemical notation described in this manual is a precise and concise means of expressing the structural formulas of chemical compounds. Its basic idea is to use letter symbols to denote functional groups and to use numbers to express the lengths of alkyl chains and the sizes of rings. These symbols then are cited in connecting order from one end of the molecule to the other. For the past hundred years, ever since structural chemistry began, chemists have been using graphic symbols in this way. This line-formula notation is simply an extension and standardization of this practice. .X 116 1 1452 117 1 1452 165 1 1452 252 1 1452 254 2 1452 327 2 1452 347 1 1452 568 1 1452 569 1 1452 641 2 1452 668 1 1452 669 3 1452 670 2 1452 671 5 1452 673 5 1452 674 2 1452 677 2 1452 678 2 1452 679 4 1452 681 4 1452 682 3 1452 683 1 1452 687 4 1452 688 1 1452 689 2 1452 690 1 1452 693 1 1452 694 3 1452 695 3 1452 697 3 1452 698 3 1452 700 2 1452 704 3 1452 706 2 1452 707 1 1452 714 1 1452 730 1 1452 738 1 1452 833 2 1452 1026 3 1452 1072 1 1452 1092 1 1452 1261 2 1452 1292 3 1452 1452 26 1452 1452 26 1452 .I 1453 .T Women in Librarianship .A Myers, M. .W There are some who question whether the status of women in the library profession is a major issue. A survey of library literature, however shows an increase in the factual data available regarding differences between men and women in salaries, promotional patterns and other professional situations. There are local library groups which are examining the status of women in their own libraries and organizing to improve their employment situations. On the state and national level, conference programs and workshops at library association meetings have dealt with various aspects of sex discrimination, affirmative action policies, sexism in children's materials and the like. .X 8 1 1453 20 2 1453 171 1 1453 234 1 1453 237 1 1453 304 1 1453 306 1 1453 338 1 1453 646 1 1453 647 1 1453 651 1 1453 909 1 1453 918 1 1453 942 1 1453 943 1 1453 944 1 1453 948 1 1453 1017 1 1453 1049 1 1453 1061 1 1453 1206 1 1453 1237 1 1453 1378 1 1453 1440 1 1453 1450 1 1453 1453 6 1453 1453 6 1453 .I 1454 .T Work and Motivation .A Vroom, V.H. .W The basic plan for this book was evolved during the summer of 1959. At that time I was working on a chapter entitled "Industrial Social Psychology" for the annual Review of Psychology. I was impressed by the large amount of research being conducted in the field, but found the task of integrating that research and of identifying the progress made during the period of the review exceedingly difficult. In part, this difficulty was a result of the great differences among investigators in the phenomena they selected for study and the methods they used to study it. A more troublesome problem, however, was the apparent theoretical implications of their research. Concepts tended to be highly specific and inadequately defined. There was little standardization of terminology and little consideration for the nature of the processes underlying empirical data. .X 270 1 1454 285 2 1454 296 1 1454 301 2 1454 302 1 1454 418 1 1454 925 1 1454 1015 3 1454 1048 1 1454 1065 1 1454 1069 1 1454 1070 1 1454 1150 2 1454 1214 1 1454 1321 1 1454 1454 6 1454 1455 1 1454 1455 1 1454 .I 1455 .T Work and the Nature of Man .A Herzberg, F. .W Work and the Nature of Man is the third book of a trilogy concerning job attitudes. In the first book, Job Attitudes: Review of Research and Opinion, my colleagues and I attempted to review and systematize what had been gleaned from research and contemplation after a half-century of effort. In the Motivation to Work that followed, we described an original research study that offered a completely new hypothesis about the way people feel about their jobs. In this book, I have taken that hypothesis and expanded it to a general theory of Work and the Nature of Man. While the trilogy contains the three basic stages of scientific inquiry, knowledge of what has gone before, new research and finally a theory, the task that I set out for myself many years ago, upon graduation for the School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, is just beginning. That task was to give original substance to the new discipline of Industrial Mental Health and, if possible, to make some positive contributions. .X 418 3 1455 1041 1 1455 1069 1 1455 1070 2 1455 1150 1 1455 1233 2 1455 1454 1 1455 1455 5 1455 1455 5 1455 .I 1456 .T World Dynamics .A Forrester, J.W. .W Over the last several decades interest in economic development, population growth, and the world environment has expanded rapidly. As world-wide stresses have increased, many individuals and organizations have begun to study and to influence the changing aspects of the world situation. But it seems fair to observe that most of the activity has been addressed to separate facets of the world system. Little has yet been done to show how the many actions and forces are affecting one another to produce the total consequences that we observe. Now however, many persons are coming to believe that the interactions within the whole are more important than the sum of the separate parts. This book was undertaken as one step toward showing how the behavior of the world system results from mutual interplay between its demographic, industrial, and agricultural subsystems. .X 350 1 1456 435 1 1456 1025 1 1456 1402 1 1456 1456 6 1456 1456 6 1456 .I 1457 .T World Trends in Library Education .A Bramley, G. .W One of the most significant aspects of the evolution of librarianship in the twentieth century has been the emergence of the library schools as a potent factor in shaping new philosophies and new attitudes in the library profession. The intention of the present work is to examine some of the implications of this rapid growth in the number of library schools, noting current trends and possible changes in the future. Inevitably, some limitations have had to be imposed, and there has been a deliberate concentration upon Anglo- American library education, while at the same time examining other major patterns of professional education for librarians which exist in the world, and comparing these with the approach of the English speaking countries. An attempt has been made to trace the influences which the British and America systems of library education have had, particularly in the developing countries. .X 128 1 1457 130 1 1457 191 1 1457 339 1 1457 370 1 1457 376 1 1457 387 1 1457 453 1 1457 629 1 1457 648 1 1457 652 1 1457 1376 1 1457 1403 1 1457 1457 5 1457 1457 5 1457 .I 1458 .T Legal Restrictions on Exploitation of the Patent Monopoly: An Economic Analysis .A Baxter, W.A. .W The patent laws confer on a patentee power to exclude all others from making, using or selling his invention. In furtherance of a constitutionally recognized goal - "To promote the Progress of Science and the useful Arts" - Congress has thus adopted a constitutionally authorized means - "securing...to Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective...Discoveries." The constitutional clause is remarkable in several respects. Its recognition of the possibility that invention might require encouragement implies not only that technological innovation is desirable but also that, but for legal subsidization, the quantity of innovation forthcoming would or might be less than optimum. This recognition, coming on the morn of an era during which the tendency of a free market to achieve optimality in all activities was greatly and religiously overestimated, prompts brief inquiry into the soundness of the supposition. .X 1458 5 1458 1458 5 1458 .I 1459 .T Language and Thought .A Poluskin, V.A. .W This book considers the basic aspects of this complex problem - the historical and social essence of language and thought, their interaction in historical evolution, the essence of linguistic meaning in relation to the content side of thought, and the physiological mechanism of the processes of abstraction, generalization, etc. .X 362 1 1459 585 1 1459 1093 1 1459 1107 1 1459 1138 1 1459 1141 1 1459 1169 2 1459 1459 5 1459 1459 5 1459 .I 1460 .T Modern Integral Information Systems for Chemistry and Chemical Technology .A Chernyi, A.I. .W At the present time, about 15% of all the world publications of scientific and technical literature relate to chemistry and chemical technology. Each year throughout the world more than 250,000 documents are published: journal papers, specifications for authors' certificates and patents, scientific and technical reports, monographs, etc., and in the last twenty years the number of such documents has increased by an average of 9% a year. In these scientific documents information on 100-150 thousand new chemical compounds is published. .X 347 1 1460 452 1 1460 1095 1 1460 1136 1 1460 1223 1 1460 1261 1 1460 1285 1 1460 1460 6 1460 1460 6 1460
