.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 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 556 2 1 92 2 1 262 2 1 1004 2 1 1024 2 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 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 475 2 2 552 2 2 32 2 2 760 2 2 770 2 2 771 2 2 774 2 2 775 2 2 776 2 2 788 2 2 789 2 2 76 2 2 801 2 2 815 2 2 839 2 2 132 2 2 137 2 2 139 2 2 152 2 2 152 2 2 155 2 2 158 2 2 183 2 2 195 2 2 977 2 2 203 2 2 204 2 2 210 2 2 243 2 2 1055 2 2 1056 2 2 1151 2 2 1361 2 2 1414 2 2 1451 2 2 371 2 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 2 3 3 2 3 3 2 3 3 2 3 3 2 3 3 2 3 3 2 3 444 2 3 457 2 3 665 2 3 42 2 3 762 2 3 803 2 3 846 2 3 172 2 3 907 2 3 907 2 3 911 2 3 985 2 3 268 2 3 292 2 3 1219 2 3 1268 2 3 1309 2 3 1402 2 3 1402 2 3 1426 2 3 323 2 3 360 2 3 361 2 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 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 4 2 4 5 2 4 5 2 4 9 2 4 418 2 4 456 2 4 580 2 4 622 2 4 696 2 4 32 2 4 705 2 4 728 2 4 729 2 4 766 2 4 768 2 4 768 2 4 770 2 4 774 2 4 774 2 4 776 2 4 783 2 4 786 2 4 791 2 4 799 2 4 65 2 4 96 2 4 811 2 4 811 2 4 816 2 4 816 2 4 823 2 4 842 2 4 843 2 4 844 2 4 137 2 4 162 2 4 163 2 4 913 2 4 915 2 4 925 2 4 925 2 4 925 2 4 959 2 4 960 2 4 961 2 4 961 2 4 961 2 4 962 2 4 962 2 4 964 2 4 964 2 4 968 2 4 981 2 4 207 2 4 207 2 4 245 2 4 293 2 4 298 2 4 1068 2 4 1069 2 4 1070 2 4 1203 2 4 1214 2 4 1321 2 4 1400 2 4 1407 2 4 1445 2 4 364 2 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 4 2 5 5 2 5 5 2 5 5 2 5 5 2 5 5 2 5 5 2 5 435 2 5 535 2 5 553 2 5 598 2 5 615 2 5 764 2 5 766 2 5 90 2 5 91 2 5 811 2 5 811 2 5 815 2 5 816 2 5 816 2 5 818 2 5 823 2 5 842 2 5 115 2 5 158 2 5 915 2 5 925 2 5 925 2 5 944 2 5 948 2 5 957 2 5 959 2 5 960 2 5 961 2 5 961 2 5 962 2 5 964 2 5 207 2 5 222 2 5 223 2 5 234 2 5 245 2 5 245 2 5 1023 2 5 1023 2 5 1219 2 5 1227 2 5 1257 2 5 1365 2 5 1390 2 5 1400 2 5 364 2 5 364 2 5 365 2 5 368 2 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 2 6 6 2 6 6 2 6 6 2 6 6 2 6 6 2 6 403 2 6 461 2 6 551 2 6 363 2 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 2 7 7 2 7 7 2 7 7 2 7 7 2 7 7 2 7 7 2 7 7 2 7 892 2 7 240 2 7 262 2 7 1028 2 7 1211 2 7 1211 2 7 1211 2 7 1212 2 7 1266 2 7 1424 2 7 353 2 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 2 8 8 2 8 8 2 8 8 2 8 8 2 8 20 2 8 171 2 8 909 2 8 918 2 8 1061 2 8 1453 2 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 2 9 9 2 9 9 2 9 9 2 9 9 2 9 9 2 9 456 2 9 515 2 9 535 2 9 625 2 9 629 2 9 631 2 9 634 2 9 32 2 9 768 2 9 774 2 9 783 2 9 791 2 9 799 2 9 96 2 9 811 2 9 811 2 9 816 2 9 816 2 9 818 2 9 823 2 9 843 2 9 844 2 9 846 2 9 137 2 9 163 2 9 913 2 9 915 2 9 961 2 9 961 2 9 962 2 9 962 2 9 964 2 9 964 2 9 968 2 9 994 2 9 207 2 9 207 2 9 222 2 9 223 2 9 296 2 9 297 2 9 298 2 9 1015 2 9 1068 2 9 1203 2 9 1242 2 9 1247 2 9 1268 2 9 1321 2 9 1354 2 9 1407 2 9 1445 2 9 300 2 9 301 2 9 302 2 9 358 2 9 364 2 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 400 2 10 433 2 10 459 2 10 534 2 10 541 2 10 551 2 10 551 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 10 2 10 702 2 10 731 2 10 732 2 10 788 2 10 817 2 10 820 2 10 823 2 10 825 2 10 826 2 10 827 2 10 828 2 10 831 2 10 881 2 10 886 2 10 887 2 10 145 2 10 167 2 10 190 2 10 919 2 10 920 2 10 921 2 10 942 2 10 947 2 10 947 2 10 948 2 10 225 2 10 232 2 10 244 2 10 1017 2 10 1058 2 10 1058 2 10 1059 2 10 1060 2 10 1146 2 10 1227 2 10 1230 2 10 1257 2 10 1258 2 10 1258 2 10 1302 2 10 1305 2 10 1306 2 10 1390 2 10 1390 2 10 1390 2 10 1390 2 10 1390 2 10 1390 2 10 304 2 10 305 2 10 306 2 10 358 2 10 385 2 10 394 2 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 2 11 11 2 11 11 2 11 11 2 11 11 2 11 143 2 11 242 2 11 268 2 11 1020 2 11 1021 2 11 1058 2 11 1322 2 11 1322 2 11 305 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 2 12 12 2 12 12 2 12 12 2 12 12 2 12 12 2 12 12 2 12 12 2 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 550 2 14 14 2 14 14 2 14 14 2 14 14 2 14 14 2 14 14 2 14 767 2 14 772 2 14 132 2 14 137 2 14 153 2 14 170 2 14 952 2 14 223 2 14 237 2 14 266 2 14 271 2 14 272 2 14 1019 2 14 1028 2 14 1030 2 14 1086 2 14 1090 2 14 1275 2 14 1280 2 14 1424 2 14 1424 2 14 1424 2 14 302 2 14 .I 15 .T Information Flow in Research and Development Laboratories .A Allen, Thomas J.

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 404 2 16 16 2 16 16 2 16 16 2 16 16 2 16 16 2 16 16 2 16 796 2 16 802 2 16 838 2 16 861 2 16 863 2 16 863 2 16 864 2 16 897 2 16 154 2 16 989 2 16 235 2 16 250 2 16 289 2 16 1152 2 16 1392 2 16 1431 2 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 2 17 17 2 17 17 2 17 17 2 17 17 2 17 17 2 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 408 2 18 421 2 18 440 2 18 452 2 18 453 2 18 459 2 18 459 2 18 459 2 18 465 2 18 466 2 18 467 2 18 468 2 18 490 2 18 491 2 18 495 2 18 506 2 18 506 2 18 507 2 18 508 2 18 510 2 18 511 2 18 512 2 18 512 2 18 514 2 18 517 2 18 520 2 18 521 2 18 523 2 18 524 2 18 524 2 18 525 2 18 526 2 18 527 2 18 528 2 18 529 2 18 530 2 18 534 2 18 576 2 18 580 2 18 591 2 18 595 2 18 603 2 18 604 2 18 604 2 18 609 2 18 612 2 18 619 2 18 622 2 18 622 2 18 623 2 18 623 2 18 629 2 18 629 2 18 631 2 18 632 2 18 633 2 18 633 2 18 633 2 18 635 2 18 636 2 18 637 2 18 639 2 18 642 2 18 659 2 18 676 2 18 699 2 18 18 2 18 18 2 18 18 2 18 18 2 18 18 2 18 18 2 18 18 2 18 34 2 18 49 2 18 700 2 18 702 2 18 703 2 18 705 2 18 707 2 18 711 2 18 722 2 18 723 2 18 723 2 18 726 2 18 726 2 18 727 2 18 728 2 18 728 2 18 729 2 18 730 2 18 730 2 18 730 2 18 730 2 18 731 2 18 731 2 18 732 2 18 732 2 18 733 2 18 734 2 18 736 2 18 754 2 18 53 2 18 59 2 18 809 2 18 810 2 18 812 2 18 813 2 18 813 2 18 814 2 18 814 2 18 820 2 18 820 2 18 822 2 18 822 2 18 826 2 18 827 2 18 828 2 18 866 2 18 870 2 18 870 2 18 873 2 18 877 2 18 879 2 18 879 2 18 121 2 18 125 2 18 125 2 18 127 2 18 127 2 18 127 2 18 127 2 18 129 2 18 129 2 18 145 2 18 145 2 18 145 2 18 145 2 18 145 2 18 164 2 18 202 2 18 211 2 18 213 2 18 224 2 18 243 2 18 1078 2 18 1089 2 18 1091 2 18 1091 2 18 1143 2 18 1143 2 18 1143 2 18 1264 2 18 1283 2 18 1298 2 18 1299 2 18 1302 2 18 1303 2 18 1363 2 18 1366 2 18 1366 2 18 1367 2 18 1367 2 18 1368 2 18 1368 2 18 1370 2 18 1372 2 18 1383 2 18 1396 2 18 1396 2 18 1396 2 18 1396 2 18 1396 2 18 357 2 18 376 2 18 376 2 18 378 2 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 416 2 19 416 2 19 441 2 19 442 2 19 450 2 19 495 2 19 505 2 19 511 2 19 521 2 19 524 2 19 560 2 19 563 2 19 565 2 19 567 2 19 573 2 19 592 2 19 618 2 19 632 2 19 635 2 19 667 2 19 19 2 19 19 2 19 19 2 19 19 2 19 19 2 19 19 2 19 19 2 19 37 2 19 39 2 19 40 2 19 44 2 19 47 2 19 700 2 19 748 2 19 749 2 19 751 2 19 764 2 19 765 2 19 777 2 19 778 2 19 782 2 19 791 2 19 88 2 19 97 2 19 804 2 19 805 2 19 835 2 19 851 2 19 862 2 19 875 2 19 893 2 19 102 2 19 103 2 19 952 2 19 228 2 19 228 2 19 229 2 19 233 2 19 253 2 19 1016 2 19 1061 2 19 1085 2 19 1086 2 19 1087 2 19 1182 2 19 1194 2 19 1199 2 19 1199 2 19 1200 2 19 1274 2 19 1277 2 19 1278 2 19 1280 2 19 1287 2 19 1301 2 19 1302 2 19 1304 2 19 1313 2 19 1338 2 19 1344 2 19 1347 2 19 1380 2 19 1428 2 19 1444 2 19 313 2 19 318 2 19 321 2 19 321 2 19 324 2 19 329 2 19 329 2 19 359 2 19 377 2 19 379 2 19 395 2 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 2 20 469 2 20 585 2 20 599 2 20 640 2 20 652 2 20 665 2 20 20 2 20 20 2 20 20 2 20 20 2 20 20 2 20 20 2 20 42 2 20 762 2 20 60 2 20 85 2 20 803 2 20 129 2 20 171 2 20 172 2 20 909 2 20 918 2 20 237 2 20 1022 2 20 1045 2 20 1061 2 20 1268 2 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 2 21 21 2 21 21 2 21 21 2 21 21 2 21 21 2 21 118 2 21 118 2 21 168 2 21 902 2 21 1034 2 21 1034 2 21 1329 2 21 1386 2 21 1399 2 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 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 22 2 22 60 2 22 908 2 22 934 2 22 954 2 22 230 2 22 272 2 22 272 2 22 1005 2 22 1148 2 22 1227 2 22 1423 2 22 371 2 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.

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 2 23 23 2 23 23 2 23 23 2 23 23 2 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 455 2 25 25 2 25 25 2 25 25 2 25 25 2 25 25 2 25 25 2 25 25 2 25 1117 2 25 1117 2 25 1117 2 25 1118 2 25 1119 2 25 1119 2 25 1133 2 25 1137 2 25 1140 2 25 1141 2 25 1224 2 25 1409 2 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 419 2 26 419 2 26 419 2 26 420 2 26 420 2 26 421 2 26 422 2 26 479 2 26 484 2 26 485 2 26 499 2 26 562 2 26 562 2 26 562 2 26 564 2 26 564 2 26 565 2 26 565 2 26 566 2 26 571 2 26 577 2 26 660 2 26 660 2 26 660 2 26 661 2 26 662 2 26 662 2 26 662 2 26 662 2 26 663 2 26 663 2 26 664 2 26 664 2 26 664 2 26 664 2 26 666 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 26 2 26 35 2 26 45 2 26 51 2 26 769 2 26 78 2 26 812 2 26 824 2 26 174 2 26 175 2 26 175 2 26 176 2 26 1118 2 26 1144 2 26 1232 2 26 1279 2 26 1381 2 26 1382 2 26 1382 2 26 1385 2 26 1427 2 26 309 2 26 315 2 26 315 2 26 328 2 26 328 2 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 474 2 27 490 2 27 491 2 27 492 2 27 495 2 27 496 2 27 497 2 27 584 2 27 591 2 27 27 2 27 27 2 27 27 2 27 27 2 27 27 2 27 67 2 27 74 2 27 83 2 27 158 2 27 976 2 27 211 2 27 324 2 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 468 2 28 486 2 28 486 2 28 487 2 28 514 2 28 518 2 28 564 2 28 565 2 28 565 2 28 595 2 28 615 2 28 646 2 28 661 2 28 663 2 28 28 2 28 28 2 28 28 2 28 28 2 28 28 2 28 42 2 28 43 2 28 45 2 28 714 2 28 752 2 28 785 2 28 72 2 28 79 2 28 820 2 28 822 2 28 827 2 28 829 2 28 853 2 28 895 2 28 133 2 28 134 2 28 157 2 28 1091 2 28 1282 2 28 381 2 28 389 2 28 390 2 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 444 2 29 445 2 29 445 2 29 447 2 29 449 2 29 451 2 29 451 2 29 458 2 29 474 2 29 475 2 29 476 2 29 477 2 29 478 2 29 479 2 29 480 2 29 484 2 29 485 2 29 486 2 29 532 2 29 566 2 29 590 2 29 609 2 29 625 2 29 656 2 29 660 2 29 680 2 29 689 2 29 29 2 29 29 2 29 29 2 29 29 2 29 29 2 29 35 2 29 42 2 29 43 2 29 704 2 29 762 2 29 762 2 29 764 2 29 58 2 29 58 2 29 58 2 29 781 2 29 66 2 29 68 2 29 69 2 29 70 2 29 84 2 29 95 2 29 814 2 29 893 2 29 165 2 29 175 2 29 901 2 29 967 2 29 967 2 29 261 2 29 274 2 29 1016 2 29 1030 2 29 1038 2 29 1045 2 29 1077 2 29 1084 2 29 1094 2 29 1118 2 29 1175 2 29 1195 2 29 1201 2 29 1231 2 29 1235 2 29 1281 2 29 1281 2 29 1285 2 29 1358 2 29 346 2 29 382 2 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.. Basic vocabulary principles are (1) use of natural language, (2) development of hospitality to new concepts, (3) provision of adequate cross-referencing, and (4) formatting for easy use.. Terminalogical conventions necessary for development and control of a useful vocabulary are summarized, and the techniques for applying these conventions to construct a thesaurus are described.. Computerized editing techniques and updating techniques are briefly set forth.. .X 419 2 30 434 2 30 483 2 30 581 2 30 661 2 30 666 2 30 30 2 30 30 2 30 30 2 30 30 2 30 30 2 30 71 2 30 75 2 30 77 2 30 78 2 30 79 2 30 80 2 30 81 2 30 82 2 30 83 2 30 838 2 30 853 2 30 154 2 30 176 2 30 179 2 30 212 2 30 247 2 30 1118 2 30 1327 2 30 1393 2 30 1414 2 30 1431 2 30 1448 2 30 363 2 30 .I 31 .T Attendance and Use of the Science Library at M.I.T. .A Bush, G.C. 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 415 2 31 475 2 31 31 2 31 31 2 31 31 2 31 31 2 31 31 2 31 36 2 31 41 2 31 46 2 31 46 2 31 46 2 31 748 2 31 760 2 31 767 2 31 767 2 31 774 2 31 778 2 31 778 2 31 891 2 31 181 2 31 182 2 31 183 2 31 183 2 31 184 2 31 193 2 31 193 2 31 195 2 31 198 2 31 905 2 31 925 2 31 952 2 31 953 2 31 964 2 31 964 2 31 968 2 31 977 2 31 201 2 31 201 2 31 201 2 31 206 2 31 207 2 31 208 2 31 266 2 31 269 2 31 269 2 31 1009 2 31 1018 2 31 1019 2 31 1019 2 31 1086 2 31 1173 2 31 1203 2 31 1203 2 31 1240 2 31 1352 2 31 1359 2 31 1397 2 31 1417 2 31 1451 2 31 359 2 31 373 2 31 379 2 31 395 2 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 2 32 4 2 32 9 2 32 456 2 32 475 2 32 592 2 32 15 2 32 32 2 32 32 2 32 32 2 32 32 2 32 32 2 32 716 2 32 768 2 32 771 2 32 774 2 32 783 2 32 799 2 32 96 2 32 811 2 32 816 2 32 103 2 32 103 2 32 137 2 32 163 2 32 913 2 32 961 2 32 962 2 32 964 2 32 968 2 32 207 2 32 255 2 32 1068 2 32 1151 2 32 1203 2 32 1291 2 32 1321 2 32 1339 2 32 1361 2 32 1407 2 32 1445 2 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 2 42 420 2 42 444 2 42 444 2 42 445 2 42 447 2 42 449 2 42 469 2 42 474 2 42 486 2 42 532 2 42 564 2 42 565 2 42 578 2 42 582 2 42 585 2 42 589 2 42 594 2 42 595 2 42 599 2 42 625 2 42 640 2 42 652 2 42 655 2 42 656 2 42 657 2 42 660 2 42 661 2 42 663 2 42 665 2 42 20 2 42 28 2 42 29 2 42 35 2 42 35 2 42 42 2 42 42 2 42 42 2 42 42 2 42 42 2 42 42 2 42 42 2 42 43 2 42 43 2 42 714 2 42 714 2 42 761 2 42 762 2 42 762 2 42 762 2 42 764 2 42 52 2 42 58 2 42 60 2 42 70 2 42 70 2 42 72 2 42 79 2 42 73 2 42 81 2 42 84 2 42 85 2 42 95 2 42 803 2 42 893 2 42 129 2 42 152 2 42 172 2 42 184 2 42 193 2 42 907 2 42 202 2 42 1016 2 42 1022 2 42 1030 2 42 1045 2 42 1045 2 42 1054 2 42 1084 2 42 1154 2 42 1195 2 42 1201 2 42 1232 2 42 1235 2 42 1268 2 42 1281 2 42 1281 2 42 1285 2 42 1295 2 42 1298 2 42 1394 2 42 1407 2 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 420 2 43 444 2 43 445 2 43 447 2 43 449 2 43 474 2 43 486 2 43 486 2 43 532 2 43 565 2 43 571 2 43 578 2 43 582 2 43 586 2 43 589 2 43 594 2 43 595 2 43 625 2 43 655 2 43 656 2 43 657 2 43 660 2 43 660 2 43 661 2 43 28 2 43 29 2 43 35 2 43 35 2 43 35 2 43 42 2 43 42 2 43 43 2 43 43 2 43 43 2 43 43 2 43 43 2 43 43 2 43 47 2 43 762 2 43 764 2 43 52 2 43 58 2 43 50 2 43 778 2 43 791 2 43 65 2 43 70 2 43 70 2 43 75 2 43 73 2 43 81 2 43 84 2 43 95 2 43 893 2 43 958 2 43 1016 2 43 1030 2 43 1045 2 43 1054 2 43 1084 2 43 1154 2 43 1195 2 43 1201 2 43 1232 2 43 1235 2 43 1281 2 43 1281 2 43 1281 2 43 1285 2 43 1295 2 43 1298 2 43 309 2 43 328 2 43 389 2 43 390 2 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 416 2 44 416 2 44 450 2 44 511 2 44 521 2 44 565 2 44 565 2 44 567 2 44 19 2 44 44 2 44 44 2 44 44 2 44 44 2 44 44 2 44 748 2 44 759 2 44 765 2 44 57 2 44 57 2 44 57 2 44 778 2 44 778 2 44 787 2 44 791 2 44 61 2 44 62 2 44 76 2 44 81 2 44 875 2 44 893 2 44 893 2 44 894 2 44 1081 2 44 1083 2 44 1082 2 44 1154 2 44 1173 2 44 1201 2 44 1255 2 44 329 2 44 359 2 44 359 2 44 389 2 44 390 2 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 419 2 45 420 2 45 421 2 45 422 2 45 454 2 45 479 2 45 483 2 45 485 2 45 486 2 45 487 2 45 562 2 45 564 2 45 564 2 45 661 2 45 662 2 45 662 2 45 662 2 45 663 2 45 663 2 45 663 2 45 664 2 45 26 2 45 28 2 45 45 2 45 45 2 45 45 2 45 45 2 45 45 2 45 45 2 45 769 2 45 61 2 45 73 2 45 81 2 45 82 2 45 853 2 45 174 2 45 175 2 45 1279 2 45 1327 2 45 1419 2 45 310 2 45 315 2 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 415 2 46 31 2 46 31 2 46 31 2 46 33 2 46 36 2 46 36 2 46 41 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 46 2 46 759 2 46 760 2 46 767 2 46 767 2 46 774 2 46 778 2 46 778 2 46 891 2 46 115 2 46 181 2 46 182 2 46 183 2 46 184 2 46 193 2 46 195 2 46 198 2 46 905 2 46 925 2 46 925 2 46 943 2 46 952 2 46 953 2 46 964 2 46 964 2 46 968 2 46 977 2 46 983 2 46 983 2 46 983 2 46 201 2 46 206 2 46 207 2 46 208 2 46 266 2 46 269 2 46 269 2 46 269 2 46 278 2 46 280 2 46 280 2 46 282 2 46 290 2 46 290 2 46 1009 2 46 1018 2 46 1019 2 46 1019 2 46 1019 2 46 1019 2 46 1023 2 46 1030 2 46 1086 2 46 1203 2 46 1203 2 46 1240 2 46 1359 2 46 1397 2 46 1416 2 46 1416 2 46 1417 2 46 1417 2 46 1417 2 46 1450 2 46 367 2 46 395 2 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 503 2 47 505 2 47 513 2 47 560 2 47 573 2 47 586 2 47 618 2 47 632 2 47 632 2 47 635 2 47 667 2 47 19 2 47 37 2 47 39 2 47 40 2 47 41 2 47 43 2 47 47 2 47 47 2 47 47 2 47 47 2 47 47 2 47 47 2 47 48 2 47 748 2 47 749 2 47 751 2 47 764 2 47 764 2 47 765 2 47 50 2 47 777 2 47 778 2 47 778 2 47 782 2 47 791 2 47 65 2 47 75 2 47 88 2 47 97 2 47 804 2 47 805 2 47 893 2 47 102 2 47 102 2 47 103 2 47 106 2 47 113 2 47 952 2 47 958 2 47 233 2 47 253 2 47 1016 2 47 1061 2 47 1085 2 47 1086 2 47 1087 2 47 1182 2 47 1200 2 47 1210 2 47 1274 2 47 1274 2 47 1277 2 47 1277 2 47 1278 2 47 1278 2 47 1280 2 47 1280 2 47 1285 2 47 1287 2 47 1300 2 47 1301 2 47 1301 2 47 1302 2 47 1302 2 47 1304 2 47 1308 2 47 1313 2 47 1313 2 47 1313 2 47 1338 2 47 1344 2 47 1347 2 47 1380 2 47 1428 2 47 1444 2 47 1444 2 47 313 2 47 359 2 47 377 2 47 377 2 47 379 2 47 395 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 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..

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 420 2 52 429 2 52 455 2 52 510 2 52 578 2 52 582 2 52 582 2 52 589 2 52 589 2 52 589 2 52 594 2 52 595 2 52 603 2 52 603 2 52 655 2 52 656 2 52 657 2 52 35 2 52 38 2 52 38 2 52 42 2 52 43 2 52 722 2 52 722 2 52 52 2 52 52 2 52 52 2 52 52 2 52 52 2 52 52 2 52 781 2 52 799 2 52 61 2 52 70 2 52 75 2 52 73 2 52 73 2 52 81 2 52 81 2 52 82 2 52 95 2 52 830 2 52 893 2 52 150 2 52 150 2 52 1054 2 52 1144 2 52 1154 2 52 1195 2 52 1195 2 52 1232 2 52 1255 2 52 1281 2 52 1295 2 52 1298 2 52 1421 2 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..

The new measure is based on calculations of the expected number of irrelevant documents in the collection which would have to be searched through before the desired number of relevant documents could be found.. 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 419 2 61 455 2 61 458 2 61 458 2 61 458 2 61 459 2 61 481 2 61 483 2 61 485 2 61 491 2 61 526 2 61 546 2 61 565 2 61 565 2 61 577 2 61 579 2 61 606 2 61 626 2 61 644 2 61 660 2 61 662 2 61 664 2 61 676 2 61 44 2 61 45 2 61 745 2 61 754 2 61 51 2 61 52 2 61 57 2 61 779 2 61 780 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 61 2 61 62 2 61 67 2 61 67 2 61 70 2 61 71 2 61 72 2 61 73 2 61 73 2 61 814 2 61 826 2 61 114 2 61 135 2 61 144 2 61 149 2 61 175 2 61 175 2 61 175 2 61 176 2 61 907 2 61 981 2 61 982 2 61 206 2 61 207 2 61 208 2 61 274 2 61 1035 2 61 1154 2 61 1187 2 61 1255 2 61 1255 2 61 1255 2 61 1268 2 61 1286 2 61 1327 2 61 1358 2 61 1380 2 61 1402 2 61 1410 2 61 1416 2 61 1417 2 61 320 2 61 382 2 61 389 2 61 390 2 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 409 2 62 435 2 62 458 2 62 462 2 62 483 2 62 484 2 62 567 2 62 604 2 62 658 2 62 24 2 62 44 2 62 716 2 62 737 2 62 748 2 62 751 2 62 765 2 62 765 2 62 778 2 62 778 2 62 778 2 62 779 2 62 782 2 62 788 2 62 789 2 62 61 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 62 2 62 65 2 62 66 2 62 67 2 62 67 2 62 75 2 62 76 2 62 837 2 62 853 2 62 875 2 62 883 2 62 893 2 62 137 2 62 172 2 62 175 2 62 175 2 62 907 2 62 925 2 62 210 2 62 278 2 62 279 2 62 280 2 62 1083 2 62 1085 2 62 1173 2 62 1184 2 62 1187 2 62 1187 2 62 1219 2 62 1268 2 62 1274 2 62 1361 2 62 1400 2 62 1404 2 62 1416 2 62 1417 2 62 1417 2 62 1418 2 62 1419 2 62 1426 2 62 310 2 62 316 2 62 318 2 62 359 2 62 359 2 62 359 2 62 360 2 62 363 2 62 382 2 62 386 2 62 395 2 62 398 2 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..

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 717 2 64 781 2 64 783 2 64 64 2 64 64 2 64 64 2 64 64 2 64 64 2 64 64 2 64 834 2 64 835 2 64 848 2 64 849 2 64 850 2 64 851 2 64 852 2 64 175 2 64 922 2 64 925 2 64 979 2 64 981 2 64 982 2 64 200 2 64 200 2 64 245 2 64 1042 2 64 1051 2 64 1415 2 64 374 2 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 2 65 495 2 65 580 2 65 586 2 65 622 2 65 658 2 65 696 2 65 24 2 65 43 2 65 47 2 65 705 2 65 716 2 65 728 2 65 729 2 65 748 2 65 50 2 65 770 2 65 776 2 65 776 2 65 778 2 65 779 2 65 782 2 65 788 2 65 789 2 65 790 2 65 791 2 65 62 2 65 65 2 65 65 2 65 65 2 65 65 2 65 65 2 65 66 2 65 75 2 65 75 2 65 75 2 65 76 2 65 76 2 65 837 2 65 137 2 65 156 2 65 162 2 65 925 2 65 958 2 65 981 2 65 210 2 65 213 2 65 214 2 65 278 2 65 279 2 65 280 2 65 1055 2 65 1083 2 65 1083 2 65 1086 2 65 1295 2 65 1297 2 65 1361 2 65 1400 2 65 1404 2 65 382 2 65 386 2 65 395 2 65 398 2 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..

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..

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 420 2 68 458 2 68 476 2 68 477 2 68 478 2 68 479 2 68 480 2 68 484 2 68 485 2 68 566 2 68 571 2 68 590 2 68 595 2 68 680 2 68 683 2 68 689 2 68 29 2 68 704 2 68 58 2 68 58 2 68 58 2 68 58 2 68 781 2 68 790 2 68 68 2 68 68 2 68 68 2 68 68 2 68 68 2 68 68 2 68 68 2 68 69 2 68 77 2 68 78 2 68 79 2 68 84 2 68 84 2 68 84 2 68 117 2 68 175 2 68 175 2 68 261 2 68 1118 2 68 1118 2 68 1124 2 68 1131 2 68 1175 2 68 1382 2 68 346 2 68 382 2 68 .I 69 .T Statistical Generation of a Technical Vocabulary .A Stone, D.

These characterizations were found to be expressible largely as meaningful co-occurrences of terms closely related to the question.. It is suggested that the textual bases of user choices may be more understandable than has been supposed.. .X 420 2 70 444 2 70 445 2 70 447 2 70 449 2 70 458 2 70 474 2 70 474 2 70 481 2 70 483 2 70 485 2 70 486 2 70 532 2 70 565 2 70 578 2 70 582 2 70 589 2 70 594 2 70 595 2 70 625 2 70 655 2 70 656 2 70 657 2 70 660 2 70 29 2 70 35 2 70 35 2 70 42 2 70 42 2 70 43 2 70 43 2 70 762 2 70 764 2 70 52 2 70 58 2 70 779 2 70 780 2 70 61 2 70 67 2 70 70 2 70 70 2 70 70 2 70 70 2 70 70 2 70 71 2 70 72 2 70 72 2 70 75 2 70 73 2 70 73 2 70 73 2 70 81 2 70 84 2 70 95 2 70 893 2 70 135 2 70 149 2 70 175 2 70 981 2 70 982 2 70 206 2 70 207 2 70 208 2 70 1016 2 70 1030 2 70 1045 2 70 1054 2 70 1084 2 70 1154 2 70 1195 2 70 1201 2 70 1232 2 70 1235 2 70 1281 2 70 1281 2 70 1285 2 70 1295 2 70 1298 2 70 1358 2 70 1402 2 70 1410 2 70 1417 2 70 319 2 70 382 2 70 .I 71 .T Word-Word Associations in Document Retrieval Systems .A Lesk, M. 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 448 2 71 448 2 71 458 2 71 458 2 71 480 2 71 481 2 71 483 2 71 483 2 71 484 2 71 485 2 71 486 2 71 486 2 71 488 2 71 488 2 71 488 2 71 491 2 71 493 2 71 503 2 71 507 2 71 509 2 71 509 2 71 510 2 71 512 2 71 517 2 71 520 2 71 522 2 71 527 2 71 528 2 71 531 2 71 565 2 71 565 2 71 565 2 71 566 2 71 581 2 71 581 2 71 596 2 71 603 2 71 608 2 71 633 2 71 659 2 71 659 2 71 666 2 71 30 2 71 715 2 71 720 2 71 748 2 71 754 2 71 51 2 71 779 2 71 780 2 71 785 2 71 786 2 71 787 2 71 788 2 71 789 2 71 790 2 71 791 2 71 61 2 71 67 2 71 69 2 71 70 2 71 71 2 71 71 2 71 71 2 71 71 2 71 71 2 71 71 2 71 72 2 71 72 2 71 74 2 71 75 2 71 75 2 71 77 2 71 77 2 71 77 2 71 78 2 71 78 2 71 79 2 71 79 2 71 79 2 71 73 2 71 73 2 71 80 2 71 81 2 71 81 2 71 82 2 71 82 2 71 83 2 71 83 2 71 86 2 71 805 2 71 809 2 71 810 2 71 812 2 71 813 2 71 814 2 71 817 2 71 824 2 71 825 2 71 838 2 71 853 2 71 894 2 71 135 2 71 153 2 71 154 2 71 156 2 71 168 2 71 175 2 71 175 2 71 175 2 71 176 2 71 176 2 71 925 2 71 981 2 71 982 2 71 984 2 71 206 2 71 207 2 71 208 2 71 211 2 71 212 2 71 212 2 71 245 2 71 247 2 71 277 2 71 279 2 71 280 2 71 1051 2 71 1294 2 71 1327 2 71 1358 2 71 1393 2 71 1402 2 71 1410 2 71 1417 2 71 1419 2 71 1427 2 71 1431 2 71 315 2 71 382 2 71 382 2 71 389 2 71 390 2 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 2 76 416 2 76 465 2 76 466 2 76 475 2 76 495 2 76 552 2 76 552 2 76 582 2 76 584 2 76 589 2 76 655 2 76 658 2 76 13 2 76 24 2 76 44 2 76 716 2 76 720 2 76 735 2 76 748 2 76 748 2 76 759 2 76 760 2 76 765 2 76 766 2 76 57 2 76 774 2 76 775 2 76 778 2 76 779 2 76 782 2 76 784 2 76 787 2 76 788 2 76 788 2 76 789 2 76 789 2 76 790 2 76 62 2 76 65 2 76 65 2 76 66 2 76 75 2 76 75 2 76 76 2 76 76 2 76 76 2 76 76 2 76 76 2 76 76 2 76 76 2 76 76 2 76 81 2 76 89 2 76 95 2 76 808 2 76 828 2 76 837 2 76 893 2 76 104 2 76 110 2 76 121 2 76 132 2 76 137 2 76 137 2 76 139 2 76 152 2 76 155 2 76 156 2 76 161 2 76 183 2 76 183 2 76 184 2 76 193 2 76 195 2 76 198 2 76 914 2 76 925 2 76 977 2 76 201 2 76 203 2 76 204 2 76 204 2 76 210 2 76 210 2 76 213 2 76 213 2 76 214 2 76 278 2 76 279 2 76 280 2 76 1055 2 76 1055 2 76 1055 2 76 1056 2 76 1081 2 76 1083 2 76 1083 2 76 1083 2 76 1086 2 76 1082 2 76 1098 2 76 1123 2 76 1172 2 76 1201 2 76 1287 2 76 1295 2 76 1297 2 76 1297 2 76 1300 2 76 1361 2 76 1362 2 76 1363 2 76 1397 2 76 1400 2 76 1404 2 76 1432 2 76 1451 2 76 359 2 76 382 2 76 386 2 76 395 2 76 398 2 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.. The statistical test were designed primarily to examine the validity of the assumptions which formed the basis of the algorithms developed for the automatic computation of weights and for the automatic generation of links between index terms and modifiers.. This evaluation also includes a comparison of the output generated from full text and from the processing of the abstracts or summaries of the same articles.. .X 420 2 77 448 2 77 448 2 77 458 2 77 480 2 77 483 2 77 483 2 77 484 2 77 486 2 77 486 2 77 488 2 77 488 2 77 489 2 77 491 2 77 493 2 77 493 2 77 499 2 77 498 2 77 498 2 77 501 2 77 503 2 77 507 2 77 509 2 77 510 2 77 512 2 77 517 2 77 520 2 77 522 2 77 527 2 77 528 2 77 531 2 77 565 2 77 565 2 77 565 2 77 566 2 77 570 2 77 581 2 77 581 2 77 581 2 77 595 2 77 596 2 77 603 2 77 608 2 77 633 2 77 659 2 77 659 2 77 659 2 77 666 2 77 30 2 77 715 2 77 720 2 77 748 2 77 754 2 77 51 2 77 57 2 77 785 2 77 786 2 77 787 2 77 788 2 77 789 2 77 790 2 77 790 2 77 790 2 77 791 2 77 68 2 77 69 2 77 71 2 77 71 2 77 71 2 77 72 2 77 74 2 77 75 2 77 75 2 77 77 2 77 77 2 77 77 2 77 77 2 77 77 2 77 77 2 77 77 2 77 77 2 77 78 2 77 78 2 77 78 2 77 78 2 77 79 2 77 79 2 77 79 2 77 79 2 77 79 2 77 79 2 77 73 2 77 80 2 77 81 2 77 81 2 77 82 2 77 82 2 77 83 2 77 83 2 77 86 2 77 805 2 77 809 2 77 810 2 77 810 2 77 812 2 77 813 2 77 814 2 77 817 2 77 824 2 77 825 2 77 838 2 77 853 2 77 894 2 77 894 2 77 153 2 77 154 2 77 156 2 77 168 2 77 168 2 77 175 2 77 175 2 77 175 2 77 175 2 77 176 2 77 176 2 77 925 2 77 984 2 77 211 2 77 212 2 77 212 2 77 245 2 77 247 2 77 277 2 77 279 2 77 280 2 77 1051 2 77 1118 2 77 1124 2 77 1131 2 77 1144 2 77 1294 2 77 1294 2 77 1294 2 77 1327 2 77 1382 2 77 1393 2 77 1419 2 77 1427 2 77 1431 2 77 1443 2 77 315 2 77 317 2 77 320 2 77 382 2 77 .I 78 .T On-Line Access to Information: NSF as an Aid to the Indexer/Cataloger .A Bennet, John L. .W When adding a document to a collection, an indexer should choose a representation which makes evident both the content of the document and its relation to other documents already in the collection.. 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 420 2 78 483 2 78 486 2 78 498 2 78 501 2 78 562 2 78 581 2 78 593 2 78 595 2 78 666 2 78 24 2 78 26 2 78 30 2 78 720 2 78 748 2 78 785 2 78 786 2 78 787 2 78 788 2 78 789 2 78 790 2 78 791 2 78 68 2 78 71 2 78 71 2 78 72 2 78 74 2 78 75 2 78 75 2 78 75 2 78 77 2 78 77 2 78 77 2 78 77 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 78 2 78 79 2 78 79 2 78 79 2 78 73 2 78 80 2 78 80 2 78 81 2 78 81 2 78 81 2 78 82 2 78 82 2 78 82 2 78 83 2 78 83 2 78 86 2 78 838 2 78 852 2 78 853 2 78 853 2 78 854 2 78 855 2 78 153 2 78 154 2 78 156 2 78 175 2 78 175 2 78 177 2 78 180 2 78 925 2 78 984 2 78 984 2 78 211 2 78 212 2 78 212 2 78 245 2 78 247 2 78 277 2 78 279 2 78 280 2 78 281 2 78 1011 2 78 1118 2 78 1124 2 78 1131 2 78 1144 2 78 1294 2 78 1326 2 78 1382 2 78 1393 2 78 1431 2 78 336 2 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..

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 416 2 81 420 2 81 486 2 81 578 2 81 581 2 81 582 2 81 589 2 81 594 2 81 595 2 81 655 2 81 656 2 81 657 2 81 666 2 81 30 2 81 35 2 81 42 2 81 43 2 81 44 2 81 45 2 81 720 2 81 748 2 81 748 2 81 759 2 81 765 2 81 52 2 81 52 2 81 57 2 81 778 2 81 781 2 81 785 2 81 786 2 81 786 2 81 787 2 81 787 2 81 788 2 81 789 2 81 791 2 81 799 2 81 70 2 81 71 2 81 71 2 81 72 2 81 74 2 81 75 2 81 75 2 81 75 2 81 76 2 81 77 2 81 77 2 81 78 2 81 78 2 81 78 2 81 79 2 81 79 2 81 73 2 81 73 2 81 73 2 81 80 2 81 81 2 81 81 2 81 81 2 81 81 2 81 81 2 81 81 2 81 81 2 81 81 2 81 82 2 81 82 2 81 82 2 81 82 2 81 82 2 81 83 2 81 83 2 81 86 2 81 95 2 81 838 2 81 840 2 81 853 2 81 893 2 81 153 2 81 154 2 81 156 2 81 175 2 81 925 2 81 925 2 81 984 2 81 211 2 81 212 2 81 212 2 81 245 2 81 247 2 81 277 2 81 279 2 81 280 2 81 1054 2 81 1081 2 81 1083 2 81 1082 2 81 1154 2 81 1201 2 81 1232 2 81 1281 2 81 1294 2 81 1295 2 81 1298 2 81 1393 2 81 1401 2 81 1417 2 81 1431 2 81 359 2 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 486 2 82 581 2 82 653 2 82 666 2 82 30 2 82 45 2 82 720 2 82 748 2 82 52 2 82 781 2 82 785 2 82 786 2 82 787 2 82 788 2 82 789 2 82 791 2 82 799 2 82 71 2 82 71 2 82 72 2 82 74 2 82 75 2 82 75 2 82 75 2 82 77 2 82 77 2 82 78 2 82 78 2 82 78 2 82 79 2 82 79 2 82 73 2 82 73 2 82 80 2 82 81 2 82 81 2 82 81 2 82 81 2 82 81 2 82 82 2 82 82 2 82 82 2 82 82 2 82 82 2 82 82 2 82 83 2 82 83 2 82 86 2 82 838 2 82 853 2 82 153 2 82 154 2 82 156 2 82 175 2 82 925 2 82 984 2 82 211 2 82 212 2 82 212 2 82 245 2 82 247 2 82 277 2 82 279 2 82 280 2 82 1294 2 82 1393 2 82 1431 2 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 444 2 84 445 2 84 447 2 84 449 2 84 474 2 84 486 2 84 488 2 84 489 2 84 490 2 84 491 2 84 492 2 84 495 2 84 496 2 84 497 2 84 493 2 84 499 2 84 494 2 84 500 2 84 532 2 84 571 2 84 581 2 84 583 2 84 584 2 84 586 2 84 625 2 84 659 2 84 660 2 84 29 2 84 35 2 84 38 2 84 42 2 84 43 2 84 762 2 84 764 2 84 58 2 84 58 2 84 58 2 84 795 2 84 68 2 84 68 2 84 68 2 84 70 2 84 84 2 84 84 2 84 84 2 84 84 2 84 84 2 84 801 2 84 893 2 84 175 2 84 986 2 84 1016 2 84 1030 2 84 1045 2 84 1084 2 84 1195 2 84 1201 2 84 1235 2 84 1281 2 84 1285 2 84 1294 2 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 457 2 85 469 2 85 574 2 85 585 2 85 585 2 85 599 2 85 640 2 85 652 2 85 665 2 85 20 2 85 42 2 85 762 2 85 60 2 85 60 2 85 85 2 85 85 2 85 85 2 85 85 2 85 85 2 85 85 2 85 85 2 85 85 2 85 803 2 85 803 2 85 129 2 85 172 2 85 1022 2 85 1022 2 85 1022 2 85 1037 2 85 1037 2 85 1045 2 85 1045 2 85 1045 2 85 1077 2 85 1116 2 85 1161 2 85 1220 2 85 1268 2 85 1309 2 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 505 2 88 560 2 88 560 2 88 573 2 88 589 2 88 618 2 88 632 2 88 635 2 88 667 2 88 19 2 88 37 2 88 39 2 88 40 2 88 47 2 88 722 2 88 748 2 88 749 2 88 751 2 88 764 2 88 765 2 88 777 2 88 778 2 88 782 2 88 793 2 88 88 2 88 88 2 88 88 2 88 88 2 88 88 2 88 88 2 88 88 2 88 89 2 88 97 2 88 804 2 88 805 2 88 893 2 88 101 2 88 102 2 88 103 2 88 103 2 88 103 2 88 111 2 88 111 2 88 112 2 88 113 2 88 952 2 88 233 2 88 253 2 88 1016 2 88 1061 2 88 1085 2 88 1086 2 88 1087 2 88 1182 2 88 1200 2 88 1256 2 88 1274 2 88 1277 2 88 1278 2 88 1280 2 88 1287 2 88 1301 2 88 1302 2 88 1304 2 88 1310 2 88 1313 2 88 1335 2 88 1335 2 88 1338 2 88 1344 2 88 1344 2 88 1347 2 88 1347 2 88 1380 2 88 1428 2 88 1444 2 88 313 2 88 359 2 88 377 2 88 379 2 88 384 2 88 395 2 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 544 2 89 544 2 89 545 2 89 552 2 89 552 2 89 560 2 89 560 2 89 560 2 89 582 2 89 587 2 89 589 2 89 602 2 89 605 2 89 613 2 89 614 2 89 632 2 89 638 2 89 656 2 89 685 2 89 33 2 89 36 2 89 39 2 89 41 2 89 722 2 89 735 2 89 735 2 89 735 2 89 747 2 89 750 2 89 753 2 89 766 2 89 766 2 89 767 2 89 775 2 89 782 2 89 784 2 89 784 2 89 784 2 89 784 2 89 788 2 89 789 2 89 793 2 89 76 2 89 88 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 89 2 89 97 2 89 98 2 89 800 2 89 808 2 89 828 2 89 100 2 89 102 2 89 102 2 89 102 2 89 102 2 89 105 2 89 105 2 89 105 2 89 107 2 89 109 2 89 110 2 89 111 2 89 111 2 89 112 2 89 113 2 89 113 2 89 113 2 89 155 2 89 157 2 89 163 2 89 183 2 89 183 2 89 184 2 89 184 2 89 193 2 89 193 2 89 198 2 89 199 2 89 905 2 89 953 2 89 977 2 89 983 2 89 201 2 89 203 2 89 204 2 89 210 2 89 225 2 89 269 2 89 1016 2 89 1023 2 89 1030 2 89 1030 2 89 1050 2 89 1050 2 89 1055 2 89 1055 2 89 1062 2 89 1062 2 89 1083 2 89 1085 2 89 1087 2 89 1090 2 89 1135 2 89 1256 2 89 1256 2 89 1260 2 89 1273 2 89 1275 2 89 1275 2 89 1276 2 89 1278 2 89 1280 2 89 1280 2 89 1283 2 89 1284 2 89 1285 2 89 1285 2 89 1285 2 89 1285 2 89 1286 2 89 1287 2 89 1287 2 89 1290 2 89 1291 2 89 1291 2 89 1291 2 89 1293 2 89 1294 2 89 1295 2 89 1296 2 89 1296 2 89 1296 2 89 1297 2 89 1300 2 89 1301 2 89 1302 2 89 1302 2 89 1302 2 89 1302 2 89 1319 2 89 1335 2 89 1339 2 89 1341 2 89 1346 2 89 1346 2 89 1346 2 89 1346 2 89 1347 2 89 1386 2 89 1386 2 89 1386 2 89 1387 2 89 1390 2 89 1397 2 89 1397 2 89 1417 2 89 1428 2 89 1432 2 89 1432 2 89 1444 2 89 308 2 89 312 2 89 314 2 89 356 2 89 356 2 89 359 2 89 373 2 89 384 2 89 391 2 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 2 90 435 2 90 543 2 90 553 2 90 588 2 90 608 2 90 610 2 90 612 2 90 613 2 90 615 2 90 617 2 90 617 2 90 620 2 90 620 2 90 624 2 90 33 2 90 36 2 90 799 2 90 90 2 90 90 2 90 90 2 90 90 2 90 90 2 90 90 2 90 90 2 90 91 2 90 800 2 90 808 2 90 815 2 90 815 2 90 868 2 90 868 2 90 869 2 90 872 2 90 897 2 90 158 2 90 161 2 90 183 2 90 184 2 90 193 2 90 199 2 90 938 2 90 939 2 90 957 2 90 959 2 90 963 2 90 990 2 90 991 2 90 992 2 90 201 2 90 202 2 90 203 2 90 204 2 90 205 2 90 209 2 90 212 2 90 217 2 90 220 2 90 222 2 90 222 2 90 223 2 90 231 2 90 261 2 90 284 2 90 286 2 90 289 2 90 294 2 90 294 2 90 295 2 90 299 2 90 1023 2 90 1151 2 90 1196 2 90 1196 2 90 1197 2 90 1219 2 90 1221 2 90 1221 2 90 1227 2 90 1229 2 90 1318 2 90 1365 2 90 1365 2 90 1390 2 90 1390 2 90 334 2 90 348 2 90 354 2 90 368 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 2 91 406 2 91 421 2 91 429 2 91 435 2 91 439 2 91 440 2 91 513 2 91 580 2 91 582 2 91 588 2 91 589 2 91 603 2 91 609 2 91 607 2 91 613 2 91 614 2 91 615 2 91 618 2 91 657 2 91 685 2 91 686 2 91 691 2 91 696 2 91 721 2 91 722 2 91 724 2 91 725 2 91 725 2 91 727 2 91 90 2 91 91 2 91 91 2 91 91 2 91 91 2 91 91 2 91 809 2 91 813 2 91 815 2 91 870 2 91 158 2 91 957 2 91 958 2 91 987 2 91 988 2 91 992 2 91 222 2 91 223 2 91 232 2 91 1023 2 91 1057 2 91 1057 2 91 1208 2 91 1219 2 91 1227 2 91 1269 2 91 1293 2 91 1298 2 91 1302 2 91 1364 2 91 1364 2 91 1365 2 91 1390 2 91 1396 2 91 368 2 91 375 2 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 2 92 556 2 92 92 2 92 92 2 92 92 2 92 92 2 92 92 2 92 825 2 92 883 2 92 930 2 92 941 2 92 950 2 92 950 2 92 978 2 92 988 2 92 991 2 92 997 2 92 997 2 92 235 2 92 246 2 92 246 2 92 247 2 92 1000 2 92 1004 2 92 1024 2 92 1079 2 92 1153 2 92 1216 2 92 1216 2 92 1247 2 92 1258 2 92 1266 2 92 1395 2 92 1441 2 92 326 2 92 333 2 92 375 2 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 438 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 93 2 93 1217 2 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 2 94 94 2 94 94 2 94 94 2 94 94 2 94 1441 2 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 420 2 95 456 2 95 475 2 95 544 2 95 544 2 95 578 2 95 582 2 95 582 2 95 584 2 95 589 2 95 589 2 95 594 2 95 595 2 95 624 2 95 655 2 95 655 2 95 656 2 95 657 2 95 29 2 95 35 2 95 42 2 95 43 2 95 52 2 95 70 2 95 76 2 95 73 2 95 81 2 95 95 2 95 95 2 95 95 2 95 95 2 95 95 2 95 95 2 95 95 2 95 95 2 95 98 2 95 100 2 95 104 2 95 105 2 95 107 2 95 109 2 95 110 2 95 161 2 95 967 2 95 1030 2 95 1038 2 95 1045 2 95 1054 2 95 1063 2 95 1154 2 95 1232 2 95 1281 2 95 1281 2 95 1284 2 95 1287 2 95 1295 2 95 1296 2 95 1297 2 95 1298 2 95 1300 2 95 1300 2 95 1300 2 95 1312 2 95 1313 2 95 1345 2 95 1358 2 95 1386 2 95 1408 2 95 312 2 95 386 2 95 386 2 95 398 2 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 2 96 9 2 96 439 2 96 440 2 96 456 2 96 658 2 96 658 2 96 32 2 96 768 2 96 771 2 96 774 2 96 783 2 96 799 2 96 96 2 96 96 2 96 96 2 96 96 2 96 96 2 96 96 2 96 811 2 96 816 2 96 123 2 96 131 2 96 137 2 96 152 2 96 163 2 96 913 2 96 951 2 96 952 2 96 961 2 96 962 2 96 964 2 96 968 2 96 207 2 96 297 2 96 298 2 96 1030 2 96 1068 2 96 1154 2 96 1203 2 96 1285 2 96 1321 2 96 1321 2 96 1321 2 96 1339 2 96 1365 2 96 1386 2 96 1407 2 96 1408 2 96 1445 2 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 505 2 97 545 2 97 552 2 97 560 2 97 573 2 97 587 2 97 605 2 97 613 2 97 614 2 97 618 2 97 618 2 97 618 2 97 618 2 97 632 2 97 632 2 97 632 2 97 635 2 97 635 2 97 635 2 97 635 2 97 638 2 97 667 2 97 19 2 97 33 2 97 36 2 97 37 2 97 39 2 97 39 2 97 40 2 97 41 2 97 47 2 97 735 2 97 747 2 97 748 2 97 749 2 97 750 2 97 751 2 97 753 2 97 764 2 97 765 2 97 766 2 97 767 2 97 775 2 97 777 2 97 778 2 97 782 2 97 782 2 97 784 2 97 788 2 97 789 2 97 793 2 97 88 2 97 89 2 97 97 2 97 97 2 97 97 2 97 97 2 97 97 2 97 97 2 97 97 2 97 800 2 97 804 2 97 805 2 97 808 2 97 893 2 97 102 2 97 102 2 97 103 2 97 111 2 97 112 2 97 163 2 97 170 2 97 183 2 97 184 2 97 193 2 97 199 2 97 905 2 97 952 2 97 953 2 97 977 2 97 983 2 97 203 2 97 210 2 97 225 2 97 233 2 97 253 2 97 269 2 97 1016 2 97 1016 2 97 1023 2 97 1030 2 97 1030 2 97 1055 2 97 1061 2 97 1085 2 97 1086 2 97 1087 2 97 1087 2 97 1087 2 97 1087 2 97 1090 2 97 1135 2 97 1182 2 97 1200 2 97 1260 2 97 1274 2 97 1275 2 97 1275 2 97 1275 2 97 1275 2 97 1276 2 97 1277 2 97 1278 2 97 1278 2 97 1280 2 97 1280 2 97 1283 2 97 1285 2 97 1286 2 97 1287 2 97 1287 2 97 1287 2 97 1301 2 97 1302 2 97 1302 2 97 1302 2 97 1302 2 97 1302 2 97 1302 2 97 1304 2 97 1313 2 97 1335 2 97 1338 2 97 1344 2 97 1347 2 97 1380 2 97 1380 2 97 1390 2 97 1397 2 97 1417 2 97 1428 2 97 1428 2 97 1432 2 97 1444 2 97 313 2 97 359 2 97 373 2 97 377 2 97 379 2 97 379 2 97 395 2 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 present article, which attempts to clarify certain aspects of the problem, overviews the data collected by the APA Project on Scientific Information Exchange in Psychology, together with data which we have more recently obtained relative to other disciplines. Such a reexamination of the data should help to clarify APA's relationship to the many information media involved in the communication process which begins with research and ends with the incorporation of research findings into psychological knowledge. .X 439 2 98 439 2 98 440 2 98 456 2 98 456 2 98 533 2 98 533 2 98 544 2 98 602 2 98 48 2 98 48 2 98 89 2 98 95 2 98 98 2 98 98 2 98 98 2 98 98 2 98 98 2 98 98 2 98 100 2 98 105 2 98 107 2 98 109 2 98 111 2 98 1062 2 98 1063 2 98 1083 2 98 1085 2 98 1284 2 98 1285 2 98 1289 2 98 1291 2 98 1296 2 98 1296 2 98 1296 2 98 1300 2 98 1301 2 98 1302 2 98 1338 2 98 1408 2 98 359 2 98 386 2 98 398 2 98 .I 99 .T Ecological Correlations and the Behavior of Individuals .A Robinson, W.S. .W An individual correlation is a correlation in which the statistical object or thing described is indivisible. 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 2 99 99 2 99 99 2 99 99 2 99 99 2 99 102 2 99 170 2 99 1320 2 99 1337 2 99 1342 2 99 1347 2 99 1343 2 99 1386 2 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 475 2 100 544 2 100 545 2 100 602 2 100 48 2 100 89 2 100 95 2 100 98 2 100 100 2 100 100 2 100 100 2 100 100 2 100 100 2 100 100 2 100 100 2 100 102 2 100 106 2 100 107 2 100 107 2 100 108 2 100 111 2 100 113 2 100 1062 2 100 1083 2 100 1085 2 100 1187 2 100 1285 2 100 1288 2 100 1291 2 100 1296 2 100 1300 2 100 1301 2 100 1302 2 100 1312 2 100 1313 2 100 1337 2 100 1338 2 100 1345 2 100 1386 2 100 1386 2 100 1386 2 100 314 2 100 343 2 100 359 2 100 386 2 100 .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.. Therefore, the new idea is not sufficient to start the take-off into sustained growth in a new field; a new role must be created as well.. 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 544 2 101 560 2 101 605 2 101 667 2 101 33 2 101 750 2 101 775 2 101 88 2 101 800 2 101 101 2 101 101 2 101 101 2 101 101 2 101 101 2 101 101 2 101 102 2 101 102 2 101 105 2 101 1063 2 101 1063 2 101 1081 2 101 1082 2 101 1088 2 101 1271 2 101 1285 2 101 1286 2 101 1287 2 101 1308 2 101 1310 2 101 1312 2 101 1320 2 101 1334 2 101 1334 2 101 1386 2 101 1387 2 101 343 2 101 343 2 101 391 2 101 .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 456 2 102 503 2 102 505 2 102 513 2 102 544 2 102 545 2 102 545 2 102 545 2 102 552 2 102 560 2 102 560 2 102 560 2 102 573 2 102 587 2 102 605 2 102 605 2 102 613 2 102 614 2 102 618 2 102 632 2 102 635 2 102 638 2 102 667 2 102 15 2 102 19 2 102 33 2 102 36 2 102 37 2 102 39 2 102 40 2 102 41 2 102 47 2 102 47 2 102 48 2 102 48 2 102 48 2 102 735 2 102 747 2 102 748 2 102 748 2 102 749 2 102 750 2 102 751 2 102 753 2 102 764 2 102 765 2 102 766 2 102 767 2 102 775 2 102 777 2 102 778 2 102 782 2 102 782 2 102 784 2 102 788 2 102 789 2 102 791 2 102 793 2 102 793 2 102 88 2 102 89 2 102 89 2 102 89 2 102 89 2 102 97 2 102 97 2 102 99 2 102 800 2 102 804 2 102 805 2 102 808 2 102 893 2 102 893 2 102 100 2 102 101 2 102 101 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 102 2 102 103 2 102 103 2 102 104 2 102 104 2 102 105 2 102 105 2 102 106 2 102 106 2 102 106 2 102 108 2 102 108 2 102 109 2 102 110 2 102 111 2 102 111 2 102 112 2 102 112 2 102 113 2 102 113 2 102 113 2 102 113 2 102 113 2 102 113 2 102 113 2 102 163 2 102 170 2 102 170 2 102 183 2 102 184 2 102 193 2 102 199 2 102 905 2 102 952 2 102 953 2 102 977 2 102 983 2 102 203 2 102 210 2 102 225 2 102 233 2 102 253 2 102 269 2 102 1016 2 102 1016 2 102 1023 2 102 1030 2 102 1050 2 102 1055 2 102 1061 2 102 1062 2 102 1063 2 102 1085 2 102 1085 2 102 1086 2 102 1087 2 102 1087 2 102 1090 2 102 1135 2 102 1182 2 102 1200 2 102 1210 2 102 1235 2 102 1260 2 102 1273 2 102 1274 2 102 1274 2 102 1274 2 102 1275 2 102 1276 2 102 1277 2 102 1278 2 102 1278 2 102 1280 2 102 1280 2 102 1280 2 102 1285 2 102 1285 2 102 1285 2 102 1285 2 102 1285 2 102 1286 2 102 1287 2 102 1287 2 102 1287 2 102 1287 2 102 1291 2 102 1291 2 102 1291 2 102 1296 2 102 1300 2 102 1300 2 102 1301 2 102 1302 2 102 1302 2 102 1302 2 102 1304 2 102 1304 2 102 1308 2 102 1312 2 102 1313 2 102 1313 2 102 1313 2 102 1313 2 102 1320 2 102 1320 2 102 1329 2 102 1335 2 102 1337 2 102 1337 2 102 1338 2 102 1338 2 102 1338 2 102 1339 2 102 1341 2 102 1341 2 102 1340 2 102 1344 2 102 1344 2 102 1344 2 102 1346 2 102 1346 2 102 1346 2 102 1347 2 102 1347 2 102 1347 2 102 1380 2 102 1386 2 102 1386 2 102 1386 2 102 1387 2 102 1390 2 102 1397 2 102 1417 2 102 1428 2 102 1428 2 102 1432 2 102 1444 2 102 312 2 102 313 2 102 314 2 102 314 2 102 343 2 102 356 2 102 359 2 102 373 2 102 377 2 102 379 2 102 391 2 102 391 2 102 395 2 102 .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 475 2 103 505 2 103 560 2 103 573 2 103 592 2 103 618 2 103 632 2 103 635 2 103 667 2 103 15 2 103 19 2 103 32 2 103 32 2 103 37 2 103 39 2 103 40 2 103 47 2 103 748 2 103 748 2 103 749 2 103 751 2 103 764 2 103 765 2 103 777 2 103 778 2 103 782 2 103 791 2 103 793 2 103 88 2 103 88 2 103 88 2 103 97 2 103 804 2 103 805 2 103 893 2 103 893 2 103 893 2 103 102 2 103 102 2 103 103 2 103 103 2 103 103 2 103 103 2 103 103 2 103 103 2 103 103 2 103 103 2 103 104 2 103 108 2 103 111 2 103 112 2 103 113 2 103 170 2 103 952 2 103 233 2 103 253 2 103 1016 2 103 1061 2 103 1085 2 103 1085 2 103 1086 2 103 1087 2 103 1182 2 103 1200 2 103 1274 2 103 1277 2 103 1278 2 103 1280 2 103 1287 2 103 1291 2 103 1301 2 103 1302 2 103 1304 2 103 1313 2 103 1334 2 103 1335 2 103 1338 2 103 1339 2 103 1341 2 103 1342 2 103 1344 2 103 1344 2 103 1347 2 103 1347 2 103 1343 2 103 1380 2 103 1428 2 103 1444 2 103 313 2 103 359 2 103 377 2 103 379 2 103 395 2 103 .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..

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 473 2 105 544 2 105 544 2 105 544 2 105 544 2 105 545 2 105 560 2 105 560 2 105 560 2 105 560 2 105 560 2 105 560 2 105 582 2 105 592 2 105 602 2 105 605 2 105 607 2 105 656 2 105 667 2 105 685 2 105 15 2 105 15 2 105 33 2 105 41 2 105 750 2 105 50 2 105 775 2 105 89 2 105 89 2 105 89 2 105 95 2 105 98 2 105 800 2 105 893 2 105 101 2 105 102 2 105 102 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 105 2 105 109 2 105 110 2 105 111 2 105 113 2 105 113 2 105 155 2 105 157 2 105 161 2 105 163 2 105 233 2 105 243 2 105 1030 2 105 1030 2 105 1030 2 105 1030 2 105 1048 2 105 1050 2 105 1062 2 105 1063 2 105 1063 2 105 1063 2 105 1063 2 105 1081 2 105 1082 2 105 1088 2 105 1111 2 105 1186 2 105 1188 2 105 1235 2 105 1256 2 105 1284 2 105 1284 2 105 1285 2 105 1285 2 105 1285 2 105 1286 2 105 1287 2 105 1287 2 105 1290 2 105 1291 2 105 1291 2 105 1293 2 105 1293 2 105 1293 2 105 1294 2 105 1295 2 105 1296 2 105 1296 2 105 1296 2 105 1297 2 105 1298 2 105 1300 2 105 1300 2 105 1308 2 105 1312 2 105 1315 2 105 1319 2 105 1329 2 105 1329 2 105 1334 2 105 1339 2 105 1341 2 105 1346 2 105 1346 2 105 1346 2 105 1347 2 105 1386 2 105 1386 2 105 1386 2 105 1387 2 105 1387 2 105 1387 2 105 1389 2 105 1408 2 105 1408 2 105 308 2 105 312 2 105 314 2 105 356 2 105 356 2 105 356 2 105 386 2 105 398 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 456 2 106 545 2 106 545 2 106 560 2 106 587 2 106 605 2 106 632 2 106 632 2 106 667 2 106 33 2 106 33 2 106 39 2 106 41 2 106 47 2 106 48 2 106 48 2 106 48 2 106 750 2 106 764 2 106 767 2 106 767 2 106 793 2 106 793 2 106 793 2 106 794 2 106 800 2 106 800 2 106 100 2 106 102 2 106 102 2 106 102 2 106 104 2 106 104 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 106 2 106 108 2 106 110 2 106 111 2 106 112 2 106 113 2 106 113 2 106 113 2 106 170 2 106 1062 2 106 1273 2 106 1274 2 106 1274 2 106 1278 2 106 1280 2 106 1285 2 106 1285 2 106 1285 2 106 1285 2 106 1285 2 106 1285 2 106 1286 2 106 1287 2 106 1287 2 106 1287 2 106 1291 2 106 1301 2 106 1302 2 106 1312 2 106 1313 2 106 1313 2 106 1337 2 106 1338 2 106 1340 2 106 1344 2 106 1346 2 106 1346 2 106 1347 2 106 1352 2 106 1386 2 106 1444 2 106 314 2 106 314 2 106 314 2 106 377 2 106 .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 544 2 107 602 2 107 33 2 107 89 2 107 95 2 107 98 2 107 100 2 107 100 2 107 107 2 107 107 2 107 107 2 107 107 2 107 107 2 107 107 2 107 110 2 107 111 2 107 111 2 107 111 2 107 112 2 107 113 2 107 155 2 107 1062 2 107 1062 2 107 1083 2 107 1085 2 107 1273 2 107 1291 2 107 1296 2 107 1300 2 107 1300 2 107 1301 2 107 1302 2 107 1302 2 107 1312 2 107 1313 2 107 1315 2 107 1338 2 107 1345 2 107 1345 2 107 1347 2 107 1386 2 107 308 2 107 359 2 107 386 2 107 .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 545 2 108 48 2 108 893 2 108 100 2 108 102 2 108 102 2 108 103 2 108 104 2 108 104 2 108 106 2 108 108 2 108 108 2 108 108 2 108 108 2 108 108 2 108 113 2 108 113 2 108 170 2 108 1274 2 108 1285 2 108 1291 2 108 1291 2 108 1301 2 108 1304 2 108 1313 2 108 1334 2 108 1334 2 108 1337 2 108 1337 2 108 1338 2 108 1338 2 108 1341 2 108 1342 2 108 1342 2 108 1344 2 108 1345 2 108 1343 2 108 1343 2 108 1386 2 108 314 2 108 .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 426 2 109 438 2 109 544 2 109 656 2 109 89 2 109 95 2 109 98 2 109 102 2 109 105 2 109 109 2 109 109 2 109 109 2 109 109 2 109 109 2 109 1050 2 109 1063 2 109 1284 2 109 1296 2 109 1300 2 109 1300 2 109 1321 2 109 1339 2 109 1385 2 109 1386 2 109 1408 2 109 386 2 109 391 2 109 398 2 109 .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.

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 456 2 112 487 2 112 545 2 112 545 2 112 552 2 112 560 2 112 587 2 112 605 2 112 613 2 112 614 2 112 638 2 112 33 2 112 36 2 112 41 2 112 48 2 112 735 2 112 747 2 112 750 2 112 753 2 112 766 2 112 767 2 112 775 2 112 782 2 112 784 2 112 788 2 112 789 2 112 793 2 112 793 2 112 793 2 112 88 2 112 89 2 112 97 2 112 800 2 112 808 2 112 102 2 112 102 2 112 103 2 112 104 2 112 106 2 112 107 2 112 110 2 112 110 2 112 111 2 112 111 2 112 111 2 112 111 2 112 111 2 112 112 2 112 112 2 112 112 2 112 112 2 112 112 2 112 112 2 112 112 2 112 112 2 112 113 2 112 113 2 112 113 2 112 113 2 112 163 2 112 170 2 112 183 2 112 184 2 112 193 2 112 199 2 112 199 2 112 905 2 112 911 2 112 953 2 112 977 2 112 983 2 112 203 2 112 210 2 112 225 2 112 269 2 112 1016 2 112 1023 2 112 1030 2 112 1055 2 112 1062 2 112 1087 2 112 1090 2 112 1135 2 112 1260 2 112 1275 2 112 1276 2 112 1278 2 112 1280 2 112 1285 2 112 1285 2 112 1286 2 112 1287 2 112 1287 2 112 1291 2 112 1300 2 112 1302 2 112 1302 2 112 1315 2 112 1335 2 112 1335 2 112 1340 2 112 1340 2 112 1344 2 112 1345 2 112 1346 2 112 1347 2 112 1347 2 112 1390 2 112 1397 2 112 1417 2 112 1428 2 112 1432 2 112 360 2 112 373 2 112 .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 456 2 113 487 2 113 503 2 113 513 2 113 544 2 113 545 2 113 545 2 113 545 2 113 545 2 113 560 2 113 560 2 113 560 2 113 592 2 113 602 2 113 605 2 113 607 2 113 632 2 113 39 2 113 47 2 113 48 2 113 48 2 113 48 2 113 48 2 113 764 2 113 784 2 113 793 2 113 793 2 113 88 2 113 89 2 113 89 2 113 89 2 113 100 2 113 102 2 113 102 2 113 102 2 113 102 2 113 102 2 113 102 2 113 102 2 113 103 2 113 104 2 113 104 2 113 105 2 113 105 2 113 106 2 113 106 2 113 106 2 113 107 2 113 108 2 113 108 2 113 110 2 113 110 2 113 111 2 113 111 2 113 111 2 113 111 2 113 111 2 113 111 2 113 112 2 113 112 2 113 112 2 113 112 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 113 2 113 161 2 113 163 2 113 170 2 113 199 2 113 911 2 113 243 2 113 1030 2 113 1062 2 113 1087 2 113 1210 2 113 1270 2 113 1273 2 113 1273 2 113 1273 2 113 1274 2 113 1274 2 113 1280 2 113 1285 2 113 1285 2 113 1285 2 113 1285 2 113 1287 2 113 1287 2 113 1287 2 113 1291 2 113 1291 2 113 1291 2 113 1293 2 113 1296 2 113 1298 2 113 1300 2 113 1300 2 113 1300 2 113 1301 2 113 1302 2 113 1302 2 113 1302 2 113 1304 2 113 1304 2 113 1308 2 113 1312 2 113 1313 2 113 1313 2 113 1313 2 113 1315 2 113 1335 2 113 1335 2 113 1337 2 113 1337 2 113 1338 2 113 1338 2 113 1338 2 113 1341 2 113 1341 2 113 1340 2 113 1344 2 113 1344 2 113 1344 2 113 1345 2 113 1346 2 113 1346 2 113 1346 2 113 1346 2 113 1346 2 113 1347 2 113 1347 2 113 1347 2 113 1347 2 113 1386 2 113 1386 2 113 1444 2 113 312 2 113 314 2 113 314 2 113 356 2 113 356 2 113 360 2 113 .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.

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..

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 459 2 120 506 2 120 575 2 120 584 2 120 599 2 120 621 2 120 630 2 120 634 2 120 692 2 120 696 2 120 39 2 120 705 2 120 736 2 120 795 2 120 67 2 120 83 2 120 826 2 120 120 2 120 120 2 120 120 2 120 120 2 120 120 2 120 120 2 120 128 2 120 135 2 120 135 2 120 139 2 120 172 2 120 197 2 120 907 2 120 925 2 120 244 2 120 245 2 120 291 2 120 292 2 120 1038 2 120 1101 2 120 1178 2 120 1187 2 120 1402 2 120 1426 2 120 382 2 120 .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 465 2 121 466 2 121 541 2 121 13 2 121 18 2 121 720 2 121 76 2 121 873 2 121 881 2 121 121 2 121 121 2 121 121 2 121 121 2 121 121 2 121 125 2 121 127 2 121 129 2 121 145 2 121 914 2 121 919 2 121 920 2 121 921 2 121 201 2 121 213 2 121 1143 2 121 1362 2 121 1363 2 121 1363 2 121 1441 2 121 .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. We encounter these problems not only in libraries, information centers, and schools, but also in many of the operations of government and business. 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 452 2 122 453 2 122 526 2 122 528 2 122 612 2 122 684 2 122 24 2 122 74 2 122 75 2 122 855 2 122 855 2 122 872 2 122 119 2 122 119 2 122 119 2 122 119 2 122 119 2 122 122 2 122 122 2 122 122 2 122 122 2 122 122 2 122 122 2 122 903 2 122 907 2 122 908 2 122 940 2 122 955 2 122 955 2 122 1011 2 122 1011 2 122 1011 2 122 1143 2 122 1247 2 122 1264 2 122 1367 2 122 1435 2 122 1436 2 122 1451 2 122 336 2 122 365 2 122 394 2 122 .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 439 2 123 440 2 123 459 2 123 634 2 123 791 2 123 96 2 123 804 2 123 885 2 123 123 2 123 123 2 123 123 2 123 123 2 123 123 2 123 123 2 123 131 2 123 1019 2 123 1030 2 123 1037 2 123 1080 2 123 1198 2 123 1386 2 123 376 2 123 .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 448 2 124 450 2 124 451 2 124 452 2 124 452 2 124 459 2 124 459 2 124 468 2 124 484 2 124 484 2 124 492 2 124 508 2 124 511 2 124 511 2 124 512 2 124 514 2 124 514 2 124 516 2 124 518 2 124 518 2 124 520 2 124 521 2 124 522 2 124 523 2 124 523 2 124 524 2 124 525 2 124 526 2 124 526 2 124 527 2 124 528 2 124 529 2 124 529 2 124 530 2 124 532 2 124 533 2 124 534 2 124 546 2 124 553 2 124 575 2 124 579 2 124 594 2 124 594 2 124 603 2 124 604 2 124 604 2 124 606 2 124 609 2 124 610 2 124 610 2 124 610 2 124 611 2 124 611 2 124 612 2 124 615 2 124 625 2 124 625 2 124 626 2 124 626 2 124 630 2 124 636 2 124 636 2 124 637 2 124 642 2 124 642 2 124 643 2 124 648 2 124 648 2 124 650 2 124 692 2 124 696 2 124 699 2 124 700 2 124 703 2 124 705 2 124 705 2 124 707 2 124 708 2 124 726 2 124 727 2 124 727 2 124 728 2 124 728 2 124 731 2 124 732 2 124 733 2 124 733 2 124 734 2 124 734 2 124 736 2 124 736 2 124 738 2 124 739 2 124 740 2 124 741 2 124 742 2 124 742 2 124 743 2 124 743 2 124 744 2 124 754 2 124 755 2 124 812 2 124 817 2 124 820 2 124 824 2 124 826 2 124 827 2 124 875 2 124 879 2 124 883 2 124 883 2 124 124 2 124 124 2 124 124 2 124 124 2 124 124 2 124 125 2 124 127 2 124 129 2 124 165 2 124 190 2 124 191 2 124 197 2 124 211 2 124 214 2 124 218 2 124 243 2 124 1004 2 124 1035 2 124 1078 2 124 1089 2 124 1091 2 124 1146 2 124 1207 2 124 1264 2 124 1297 2 124 1303 2 124 1303 2 124 1303 2 124 1327 2 124 1356 2 124 1364 2 124 1364 2 124 1366 2 124 1367 2 124 1368 2 124 1368 2 124 1370 2 124 1372 2 124 1373 2 124 1374 2 124 1374 2 124 1375 2 124 1375 2 124 1376 2 124 1377 2 124 307 2 124 330 2 124 378 2 124 381 2 124 .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 449 2 126 525 2 126 526 2 126 533 2 126 574 2 126 616 2 126 640 2 126 823 2 126 126 2 126 126 2 126 126 2 126 126 2 126 126 2 126 126 2 126 126 2 126 131 2 126 1035 2 126 1305 2 126 1306 2 126 1313 2 126 .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 432 2 127 450 2 127 451 2 127 452 2 127 459 2 127 459 2 127 459 2 127 459 2 127 460 2 127 461 2 127 468 2 127 471 2 127 484 2 127 492 2 127 508 2 127 511 2 127 512 2 127 514 2 127 518 2 127 520 2 127 523 2 127 524 2 127 524 2 127 525 2 127 525 2 127 526 2 127 527 2 127 529 2 127 529 2 127 530 2 127 530 2 127 534 2 127 534 2 127 546 2 127 553 2 127 579 2 127 580 2 127 594 2 127 603 2 127 604 2 127 606 2 127 609 2 127 610 2 127 611 2 127 612 2 127 622 2 127 625 2 127 626 2 127 630 2 127 633 2 127 635 2 127 636 2 127 636 2 127 637 2 127 637 2 127 642 2 127 642 2 127 642 2 127 643 2 127 644 2 127 645 2 127 646 2 127 648 2 127 649 2 127 650 2 127 650 2 127 692 2 127 696 2 127 699 2 127 18 2 127 18 2 127 18 2 127 18 2 127 702 2 127 703 2 127 703 2 127 705 2 127 708 2 127 708 2 127 726 2 127 727 2 127 728 2 127 730 2 127 730 2 127 731 2 127 732 2 127 732 2 127 733 2 127 733 2 127 734 2 127 734 2 127 736 2 127 736 2 127 736 2 127 737 2 127 737 2 127 738 2 127 738 2 127 739 2 127 739 2 127 740 2 127 741 2 127 741 2 127 742 2 127 743 2 127 744 2 127 755 2 127 820 2 127 826 2 127 826 2 127 827 2 127 827 2 127 877 2 127 879 2 127 879 2 127 883 2 127 121 2 127 124 2 127 125 2 127 125 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 127 2 127 129 2 127 129 2 127 129 2 127 129 2 127 145 2 127 145 2 127 145 2 127 145 2 127 190 2 127 191 2 127 197 2 127 211 2 127 214 2 127 218 2 127 243 2 127 1004 2 127 1035 2 127 1078 2 127 1089 2 127 1091 2 127 1143 2 127 1143 2 127 1207 2 127 1227 2 127 1264 2 127 1297 2 127 1303 2 127 1306 2 127 1356 2 127 1364 2 127 1368 2 127 1370 2 127 1370 2 127 1372 2 127 1372 2 127 1373 2 127 1374 2 127 1374 2 127 1375 2 127 1376 2 127 1376 2 127 1377 2 127 1383 2 127 1396 2 127 1396 2 127 1396 2 127 307 2 127 330 2 127 357 2 127 363 2 127 376 2 127 376 2 127 378 2 127 .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 453 2 128 459 2 128 468 2 128 494 2 128 560 2 128 575 2 128 599 2 128 621 2 128 623 2 128 629 2 128 630 2 128 639 2 128 646 2 128 646 2 128 646 2 128 647 2 128 647 2 128 648 2 128 651 2 128 652 2 128 652 2 128 692 2 128 729 2 128 744 2 128 748 2 128 757 2 128 765 2 128 818 2 128 822 2 128 823 2 128 823 2 128 827 2 128 827 2 128 831 2 128 888 2 128 893 2 128 120 2 128 128 2 128 128 2 128 128 2 128 128 2 128 128 2 128 128 2 128 129 2 128 130 2 128 130 2 128 135 2 128 167 2 128 191 2 128 919 2 128 925 2 128 925 2 128 943 2 128 944 2 128 223 2 128 225 2 128 234 2 128 244 2 128 245 2 128 280 2 128 291 2 128 1003 2 128 1070 2 128 1085 2 128 1291 2 128 1315 2 128 1340 2 128 1374 2 128 1375 2 128 1376 2 128 1376 2 128 1390 2 128 1401 2 128 1402 2 128 1403 2 128 1437 2 128 1445 2 128 1457 2 128 330 2 128 339 2 128 370 2 128 376 2 128 387 2 128 393 2 128 .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 432 2 129 450 2 129 451 2 129 452 2 129 459 2 129 459 2 129 460 2 129 461 2 129 468 2 129 468 2 129 469 2 129 484 2 129 492 2 129 494 2 129 508 2 129 511 2 129 512 2 129 514 2 129 518 2 129 520 2 129 523 2 129 524 2 129 525 2 129 526 2 129 529 2 129 530 2 129 534 2 129 546 2 129 553 2 129 579 2 129 580 2 129 585 2 129 594 2 129 599 2 129 603 2 129 604 2 129 606 2 129 609 2 129 610 2 129 611 2 129 612 2 129 622 2 129 625 2 129 626 2 129 630 2 129 636 2 129 637 2 129 639 2 129 640 2 129 642 2 129 642 2 129 643 2 129 644 2 129 645 2 129 646 2 129 646 2 129 647 2 129 648 2 129 649 2 129 650 2 129 650 2 129 651 2 129 652 2 129 665 2 129 692 2 129 696 2 129 699 2 129 18 2 129 18 2 129 20 2 129 42 2 129 703 2 129 705 2 129 708 2 129 708 2 129 726 2 129 727 2 129 728 2 129 730 2 129 731 2 129 732 2 129 733 2 129 734 2 129 736 2 129 736 2 129 737 2 129 738 2 129 738 2 129 739 2 129 739 2 129 740 2 129 741 2 129 741 2 129 742 2 129 743 2 129 744 2 129 755 2 129 762 2 129 765 2 129 60 2 129 85 2 129 803 2 129 818 2 129 820 2 129 822 2 129 823 2 129 826 2 129 827 2 129 827 2 129 879 2 129 883 2 129 121 2 129 124 2 129 125 2 129 125 2 129 127 2 129 127 2 129 127 2 129 127 2 129 128 2 129 129 2 129 129 2 129 129 2 129 129 2 129 129 2 129 129 2 129 130 2 129 145 2 129 145 2 129 167 2 129 172 2 129 190 2 129 191 2 129 197 2 129 925 2 129 943 2 129 944 2 129 211 2 129 214 2 129 218 2 129 223 2 129 225 2 129 234 2 129 243 2 129 280 2 129 1004 2 129 1022 2 129 1035 2 129 1045 2 129 1070 2 129 1078 2 129 1085 2 129 1089 2 129 1091 2 129 1143 2 129 1143 2 129 1207 2 129 1264 2 129 1268 2 129 1297 2 129 1303 2 129 1356 2 129 1364 2 129 1368 2 129 1370 2 129 1372 2 129 1373 2 129 1374 2 129 1374 2 129 1374 2 129 1375 2 129 1376 2 129 1376 2 129 1377 2 129 1390 2 129 1396 2 129 1401 2 129 1437 2 129 307 2 129 330 2 129 363 2 129 376 2 129 378 2 129 393 2 129 .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 453 2 130 468 2 130 494 2 130 629 2 130 639 2 130 646 2 130 647 2 130 648 2 130 651 2 130 652 2 130 710 2 130 765 2 130 818 2 130 822 2 130 823 2 130 827 2 130 128 2 130 128 2 130 129 2 130 130 2 130 130 2 130 130 2 130 130 2 130 130 2 130 167 2 130 191 2 130 925 2 130 943 2 130 944 2 130 993 2 130 223 2 130 225 2 130 234 2 130 280 2 130 1070 2 130 1085 2 130 1374 2 130 1376 2 130 1390 2 130 1401 2 130 1403 2 130 1437 2 130 1457 2 130 339 2 130 357 2 130 370 2 130 376 2 130 387 2 130 393 2 130 .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 456 2 131 634 2 131 40 2 131 769 2 131 50 2 131 50 2 131 780 2 131 785 2 131 791 2 131 96 2 131 804 2 131 114 2 131 123 2 131 126 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 131 2 131 133 2 131 133 2 131 133 2 131 133 2 131 133 2 131 133 2 131 136 2 131 136 2 131 136 2 131 136 2 131 136 2 131 138 2 131 138 2 131 138 2 131 140 2 131 140 2 131 140 2 131 144 2 131 175 2 131 175 2 131 175 2 131 907 2 131 965 2 131 966 2 131 206 2 131 207 2 131 1019 2 131 1035 2 131 1037 2 131 1083 2 131 1255 2 131 1321 2 131 1327 2 131 311 2 131 359 2 131 359 2 131 382 2 131 395 2 131 .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 2 132 475 2 132 552 2 132 655 2 132 14 2 132 41 2 132 760 2 132 767 2 132 771 2 132 772 2 132 772 2 132 774 2 132 775 2 132 783 2 132 788 2 132 789 2 132 76 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 132 2 132 137 2 132 137 2 132 137 2 132 137 2 132 137 2 132 139 2 132 139 2 132 147 2 132 152 2 132 155 2 132 161 2 132 183 2 132 195 2 132 952 2 132 965 2 132 977 2 132 202 2 132 203 2 132 204 2 132 210 2 132 237 2 132 272 2 132 274 2 132 276 2 132 1030 2 132 1055 2 132 1056 2 132 1095 2 132 1102 2 132 1111 2 132 1275 2 132 1280 2 132 1321 2 132 1445 2 132 1446 2 132 1447 2 132 1451 2 132 .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.

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 458 2 134 474 2 134 565 2 134 565 2 134 566 2 134 28 2 134 752 2 134 780 2 134 780 2 134 785 2 134 785 2 134 785 2 134 73 2 134 73 2 134 133 2 134 134 2 134 134 2 134 134 2 134 134 2 134 134 2 134 134 2 134 146 2 134 1255 2 134 1282 2 134 1307 2 134 1422 2 134 382 2 134 390 2 134 390 2 134 390 2 134 .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 458 2 135 459 2 135 481 2 135 483 2 135 485 2 135 537 2 135 575 2 135 599 2 135 621 2 135 630 2 135 692 2 135 779 2 135 780 2 135 61 2 135 67 2 135 70 2 135 71 2 135 72 2 135 73 2 135 120 2 135 120 2 135 128 2 135 135 2 135 135 2 135 135 2 135 135 2 135 135 2 135 137 2 135 175 2 135 925 2 135 981 2 135 982 2 135 206 2 135 207 2 135 208 2 135 244 2 135 245 2 135 291 2 135 1038 2 135 1038 2 135 1358 2 135 1358 2 135 1359 2 135 1402 2 135 1402 2 135 1410 2 135 1417 2 135 382 2 135 .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 2 136 131 2 136 131 2 136 131 2 136 131 2 136 131 2 136 133 2 136 133 2 136 133 2 136 133 2 136 133 2 136 136 2 136 136 2 136 136 2 136 136 2 136 136 2 136 136 2 136 136 2 136 138 2 136 138 2 136 138 2 136 140 2 136 140 2 136 140 2 136 175 2 136 907 2 136 206 2 136 207 2 136 1083 2 136 1327 2 136 359 2 136 .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 2 137 4 2 137 9 2 137 456 2 137 456 2 137 475 2 137 537 2 137 552 2 137 658 2 137 14 2 137 24 2 137 32 2 137 716 2 137 716 2 137 748 2 137 760 2 137 760 2 137 767 2 137 768 2 137 772 2 137 772 2 137 774 2 137 774 2 137 775 2 137 782 2 137 783 2 137 788 2 137 788 2 137 789 2 137 789 2 137 799 2 137 62 2 137 65 2 137 66 2 137 75 2 137 76 2 137 76 2 137 96 2 137 811 2 137 816 2 137 837 2 137 132 2 137 132 2 137 132 2 137 132 2 137 132 2 137 135 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 137 2 137 139 2 137 139 2 137 139 2 137 152 2 137 155 2 137 163 2 137 183 2 137 195 2 137 900 2 137 913 2 137 925 2 137 952 2 137 961 2 137 962 2 137 964 2 137 968 2 137 977 2 137 203 2 137 204 2 137 207 2 137 210 2 137 210 2 137 237 2 137 272 2 137 278 2 137 279 2 137 280 2 137 1030 2 137 1037 2 137 1038 2 137 1045 2 137 1050 2 137 1055 2 137 1056 2 137 1068 2 137 1083 2 137 1203 2 137 1254 2 137 1275 2 137 1280 2 137 1321 2 137 1321 2 137 1361 2 137 1400 2 137 1404 2 137 1407 2 137 1445 2 137 1451 2 137 355 2 137 382 2 137 386 2 137 395 2 137 398 2 137 .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 2 138 131 2 138 131 2 138 133 2 138 133 2 138 133 2 138 136 2 138 136 2 138 136 2 138 138 2 138 138 2 138 138 2 138 138 2 138 138 2 138 138 2 138 140 2 138 140 2 138 140 2 138 140 2 138 175 2 138 1083 2 138 1327 2 138 355 2 138 359 2 138 .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 2 139 475 2 139 552 2 139 15 2 139 760 2 139 774 2 139 775 2 139 788 2 139 789 2 139 76 2 139 120 2 139 132 2 139 132 2 139 137 2 139 137 2 139 137 2 139 139 2 139 139 2 139 139 2 139 139 2 139 139 2 139 152 2 139 155 2 139 183 2 139 195 2 139 977 2 139 203 2 139 204 2 139 210 2 139 1050 2 139 1055 2 139 1056 2 139 1101 2 139 1178 2 139 1186 2 139 1187 2 139 1333 2 139 1451 2 139 356 2 139 .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 2 140 131 2 140 131 2 140 133 2 140 133 2 140 133 2 140 136 2 140 136 2 140 136 2 140 138 2 140 138 2 140 138 2 140 138 2 140 140 2 140 140 2 140 140 2 140 140 2 140 140 2 140 140 2 140 140 2 140 175 2 140 1053 2 140 1083 2 140 1327 2 140 1426 2 140 359 2 140 .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 409 2 141 522 2 141 529 2 141 530 2 141 627 2 141 628 2 141 630 2 141 645 2 141 647 2 141 651 2 141 739 2 141 822 2 141 854 2 141 871 2 141 872 2 141 873 2 141 873 2 141 874 2 141 874 2 141 875 2 141 875 2 141 876 2 141 876 2 141 877 2 141 878 2 141 879 2 141 880 2 141 881 2 141 882 2 141 883 2 141 884 2 141 886 2 141 887 2 141 885 2 141 892 2 141 892 2 141 141 2 141 141 2 141 141 2 141 141 2 141 141 2 141 141 2 141 141 2 141 917 2 141 940 2 141 941 2 141 941 2 141 990 2 141 994 2 141 994 2 141 995 2 141 997 2 141 997 2 141 996 2 141 998 2 141 998 2 141 999 2 141 244 2 141 299 2 141 299 2 141 1000 2 141 1001 2 141 1002 2 141 1003 2 141 1004 2 141 1079 2 141 1079 2 141 1143 2 141 1153 2 141 1189 2 141 1230 2 141 1251 2 141 1257 2 141 1303 2 141 1351 2 141 1375 2 141 1376 2 141 1396 2 141 1396 2 141 1420 2 141 1434 2 141 1435 2 141 1435 2 141 1436 2 141 1442 2 141 333 2 141 363 2 141 365 2 141 .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 2 142 142 2 142 142 2 142 142 2 142 142 2 142 1064 2 142 .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 2 143 143 2 143 143 2 143 143 2 143 143 2 143 143 2 143 268 2 143 1020 2 143 1021 2 143 1058 2 143 305 2 143 .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 400 2 145 440 2 145 452 2 145 452 2 145 453 2 145 459 2 145 459 2 145 459 2 145 467 2 145 468 2 145 495 2 145 506 2 145 508 2 145 511 2 145 512 2 145 514 2 145 517 2 145 520 2 145 521 2 145 523 2 145 524 2 145 524 2 145 525 2 145 526 2 145 527 2 145 528 2 145 529 2 145 530 2 145 534 2 145 546 2 145 576 2 145 580 2 145 594 2 145 604 2 145 609 2 145 612 2 145 619 2 145 622 2 145 623 2 145 629 2 145 631 2 145 632 2 145 633 2 145 633 2 145 635 2 145 636 2 145 637 2 145 642 2 145 699 2 145 10 2 145 18 2 145 18 2 145 18 2 145 18 2 145 18 2 145 700 2 145 702 2 145 703 2 145 705 2 145 707 2 145 723 2 145 726 2 145 727 2 145 728 2 145 729 2 145 730 2 145 730 2 145 730 2 145 731 2 145 732 2 145 733 2 145 734 2 145 736 2 145 754 2 145 812 2 145 813 2 145 814 2 145 820 2 145 822 2 145 826 2 145 827 2 145 866 2 145 870 2 145 873 2 145 877 2 145 879 2 145 121 2 145 125 2 145 125 2 145 127 2 145 127 2 145 127 2 145 127 2 145 129 2 145 129 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 145 2 145 942 2 145 211 2 145 211 2 145 1051 2 145 1078 2 145 1089 2 145 1091 2 145 1143 2 145 1143 2 145 1143 2 145 1227 2 145 1264 2 145 1302 2 145 1302 2 145 1303 2 145 1303 2 145 1366 2 145 1367 2 145 1368 2 145 1368 2 145 1370 2 145 1372 2 145 1383 2 145 1390 2 145 1396 2 145 1396 2 145 1396 2 145 1396 2 145 1396 2 145 357 2 145 376 2 145 376 2 145 376 2 145 378 2 145 382 2 145 .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 560 2 147 614 2 147 41 2 147 763 2 147 772 2 147 788 2 147 792 2 147 889 2 147 132 2 147 147 2 147 147 2 147 147 2 147 147 2 147 147 2 147 147 2 147 147 2 147 147 2 147 157 2 147 161 2 147 965 2 147 986 2 147 210 2 147 245 2 147 1050 2 147 1151 2 147 1238 2 147 1254 2 147 1291 2 147 1404 2 147 1404 2 147 355 2 147 356 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).

It appeared that the most important consideration was the specificity of the index terms; within the context of the conditions existing in this test, single-word terms were more effective than concept terms or a controlled vocabulary.. .X 474 2 149 486 2 149 494 2 149 554 2 149 558 2 149 565 2 149 565 2 149 565 2 149 587 2 149 608 2 149 653 2 149 750 2 149 751 2 149 761 2 149 762 2 149 781 2 149 785 2 149 792 2 149 795 2 149 61 2 149 70 2 149 72 2 149 75 2 149 75 2 149 804 2 149 114 2 149 114 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 149 2 149 174 2 149 175 2 149 956 2 149 961 2 149 228 2 149 229 2 149 258 2 149 1085 2 149 1086 2 149 1144 2 149 1163 2 149 1255 2 149 1265 2 149 1282 2 149 1294 2 149 1309 2 149 1399 2 149 1414 2 149 359 2 149 382 2 149 388 2 149 389 2 149 390 2 149 .I 150 .T Current Awareness Searches on CT, CBAS and ASCA .A Abbot, M.T.J. 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 429 2 150 465 2 150 465 2 150 480 2 150 510 2 150 510 2 150 582 2 150 582 2 150 589 2 150 589 2 150 589 2 150 589 2 150 603 2 150 603 2 150 603 2 150 660 2 150 660 2 150 662 2 150 682 2 150 681 2 150 38 2 150 38 2 150 40 2 150 704 2 150 711 2 150 714 2 150 716 2 150 717 2 150 722 2 150 722 2 150 726 2 150 53 2 150 52 2 150 52 2 150 54 2 150 782 2 150 807 2 150 810 2 150 813 2 150 820 2 150 830 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 150 2 150 1089 2 150 1144 2 150 1151 2 150 1195 2 150 1195 2 150 1195 2 150 1281 2 150 1421 2 150 1448 2 150 319 2 150 347 2 150 371 2 150 .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 454 2 151 477 2 151 501 2 151 501 2 151 504 2 151 504 2 151 504 2 151 653 2 151 773 2 151 781 2 151 798 2 151 798 2 151 802 2 151 148 2 151 151 2 151 151 2 151 151 2 151 151 2 151 151 2 151 151 2 151 1118 2 151 1118 2 151 1122 2 151 1123 2 151 1133 2 151 1141 2 151 1163 2 151 1175 2 151 1226 2 151 .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 2 2 152 447 2 152 449 2 152 475 2 152 475 2 152 526 2 152 552 2 152 574 2 152 625 2 152 658 2 152 664 2 152 13 2 152 15 2 152 42 2 152 714 2 152 760 2 152 761 2 152 774 2 152 775 2 152 783 2 152 788 2 152 789 2 152 66 2 152 76 2 152 96 2 152 801 2 152 803 2 152 837 2 152 839 2 152 841 2 152 879 2 152 132 2 152 137 2 152 139 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 152 2 152 155 2 152 158 2 152 183 2 152 195 2 152 907 2 152 907 2 152 925 2 152 942 2 152 968 2 152 977 2 152 203 2 152 204 2 152 210 2 152 1055 2 152 1056 2 152 1285 2 152 1317 2 152 1319 2 152 1386 2 152 1394 2 152 1407 2 152 1451 2 152 313 2 152 .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 458 2 153 486 2 153 550 2 153 591 2 153 14 2 153 720 2 153 748 2 153 779 2 153 779 2 153 785 2 153 786 2 153 787 2 153 788 2 153 789 2 153 791 2 153 792 2 153 71 2 153 72 2 153 74 2 153 75 2 153 77 2 153 78 2 153 79 2 153 73 2 153 81 2 153 82 2 153 83 2 153 83 2 153 86 2 153 841 2 153 842 2 153 153 2 153 153 2 153 153 2 153 153 2 153 153 2 153 153 2 153 156 2 153 170 2 153 925 2 153 984 2 153 206 2 153 207 2 153 211 2 153 212 2 153 223 2 153 245 2 153 245 2 153 266 2 153 271 2 153 277 2 153 279 2 153 280 2 153 1019 2 153 1028 2 153 1086 2 153 1090 2 153 1317 2 153 1317 2 153 1424 2 153 .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 458 2 154 476 2 154 477 2 154 581 2 154 627 2 154 666 2 154 16 2 154 30 2 154 770 2 154 796 2 154 796 2 154 71 2 154 75 2 154 75 2 154 77 2 154 78 2 154 79 2 154 80 2 154 81 2 154 82 2 154 83 2 154 802 2 154 802 2 154 838 2 154 838 2 154 838 2 154 838 2 154 853 2 154 898 2 154 114 2 154 154 2 154 154 2 154 154 2 154 154 2 154 154 2 154 154 2 154 194 2 154 989 2 154 212 2 154 212 2 154 247 2 154 257 2 154 260 2 154 1066 2 154 1074 2 154 1074 2 154 1075 2 154 1075 2 154 1231 2 154 1255 2 154 1391 2 154 1391 2 154 1392 2 154 1393 2 154 1394 2 154 1402 2 154 1402 2 154 1429 2 154 1429 2 154 1429 2 154 1430 2 154 1430 2 154 1430 2 154 1431 2 154 1431 2 154 1431 2 154 1448 2 154 .I 155 .T Subject Relations in Science/Technology Literature .A Earle, P. Vickery, B. .W The analysis of citations has often been employed to indicate the use of the literature of science and technology. 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 2 155 475 2 155 544 2 155 552 2 155 560 2 155 582 2 155 587 2 155 618 2 155 656 2 155 685 2 155 33 2 155 33 2 155 760 2 155 774 2 155 775 2 155 775 2 155 788 2 155 788 2 155 789 2 155 793 2 155 794 2 155 76 2 155 89 2 155 800 2 155 808 2 155 105 2 155 107 2 155 110 2 155 111 2 155 132 2 155 137 2 155 139 2 155 152 2 155 155 2 155 155 2 155 155 2 155 155 2 155 155 2 155 155 2 155 157 2 155 161 2 155 183 2 155 195 2 155 977 2 155 203 2 155 204 2 155 210 2 155 1030 2 155 1050 2 155 1055 2 155 1056 2 155 1062 2 155 1256 2 155 1273 2 155 1284 2 155 1285 2 155 1285 2 155 1287 2 155 1290 2 155 1291 2 155 1293 2 155 1294 2 155 1295 2 155 1296 2 155 1297 2 155 1308 2 155 1319 2 155 1338 2 155 1346 2 155 1386 2 155 1451 2 155 314 2 155 356 2 155 .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 486 2 156 495 2 156 720 2 156 748 2 156 779 2 156 785 2 156 786 2 156 787 2 156 788 2 156 789 2 156 790 2 156 791 2 156 65 2 156 71 2 156 72 2 156 74 2 156 75 2 156 75 2 156 76 2 156 77 2 156 78 2 156 79 2 156 73 2 156 81 2 156 82 2 156 83 2 156 86 2 156 86 2 156 153 2 156 156 2 156 156 2 156 156 2 156 156 2 156 156 2 156 925 2 156 984 2 156 211 2 156 212 2 156 213 2 156 214 2 156 245 2 156 277 2 156 279 2 156 280 2 156 1055 2 156 1083 2 156 1086 2 156 1195 2 156 1295 2 156 1297 2 156 382 2 156 .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 468 2 157 475 2 157 514 2 157 518 2 157 544 2 157 560 2 157 582 2 157 595 2 157 615 2 157 646 2 157 656 2 157 656 2 157 658 2 157 685 2 157 28 2 157 752 2 157 785 2 157 89 2 157 820 2 157 822 2 157 827 2 157 829 2 157 895 2 157 105 2 157 110 2 157 147 2 157 155 2 157 157 2 157 157 2 157 157 2 157 157 2 157 157 2 157 157 2 157 157 2 157 1030 2 157 1050 2 157 1062 2 157 1091 2 157 1256 2 157 1282 2 157 1284 2 157 1285 2 157 1290 2 157 1291 2 157 1293 2 157 1294 2 157 1295 2 157 1296 2 157 1297 2 157 1319 2 157 1346 2 157 1361 2 157 1386 2 157 314 2 157 356 2 157 381 2 157 389 2 157 .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.

In a current project, we are attempting to apply method (b) to the production of current-awareness bulletins.

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 429 2 159 489 2 159 493 2 159 498 2 159 501 2 159 582 2 159 583 2 159 583 2 159 585 2 159 653 2 159 655 2 159 655 2 159 688 2 159 796 2 159 797 2 159 797 2 159 799 2 159 798 2 159 798 2 159 801 2 159 802 2 159 838 2 159 852 2 159 854 2 159 857 2 159 858 2 159 858 2 159 859 2 159 859 2 159 861 2 159 861 2 159 159 2 159 159 2 159 159 2 159 159 2 159 159 2 159 178 2 159 970 2 159 257 2 159 260 2 159 1043 2 159 1252 2 159 1268 2 159 1395 2 159 1405 2 159 348 2 159 .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 477 2 160 478 2 160 478 2 160 516 2 160 516 2 160 516 2 160 558 2 160 558 2 160 572 2 160 600 2 160 628 2 160 653 2 160 746 2 160 746 2 160 758 2 160 781 2 160 795 2 160 72 2 160 817 2 160 825 2 160 160 2 160 160 2 160 160 2 160 160 2 160 160 2 160 160 2 160 168 2 160 901 2 160 257 2 160 258 2 160 1202 2 160 1215 2 160 1218 2 160 1230 2 160 1394 2 160 1422 2 160 1448 2 160 .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 433 2 161 445 2 161 454 2 161 470 2 161 472 2 161 503 2 161 506 2 161 507 2 161 543 2 161 545 2 161 554 2 161 560 2 161 560 2 161 579 2 161 582 2 161 584 2 161 588 2 161 589 2 161 591 2 161 592 2 161 593 2 161 594 2 161 595 2 161 596 2 161 597 2 161 599 2 161 600 2 161 602 2 161 603 2 161 604 2 161 606 2 161 607 2 161 613 2 161 614 2 161 618 2 161 624 2 161 624 2 161 624 2 161 631 2 161 655 2 161 33 2 161 36 2 161 723 2 161 724 2 161 760 2 161 771 2 161 772 2 161 772 2 161 799 2 161 76 2 161 90 2 161 95 2 161 800 2 161 801 2 161 805 2 161 806 2 161 808 2 161 836 2 161 866 2 161 867 2 161 889 2 161 104 2 161 105 2 161 110 2 161 111 2 161 113 2 161 132 2 161 147 2 161 155 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 161 2 161 163 2 161 163 2 161 183 2 161 184 2 161 193 2 161 197 2 161 199 2 161 900 2 161 936 2 161 937 2 161 946 2 161 956 2 161 959 2 161 989 2 161 201 2 161 202 2 161 203 2 161 204 2 161 205 2 161 209 2 161 212 2 161 217 2 161 220 2 161 222 2 161 243 2 161 284 2 161 286 2 161 294 2 161 295 2 161 1030 2 161 1056 2 161 1084 2 161 1095 2 161 1102 2 161 1102 2 161 1107 2 161 1111 2 161 1151 2 161 1222 2 161 1287 2 161 1293 2 161 1296 2 161 1297 2 161 1298 2 161 1298 2 161 1299 2 161 1300 2 161 1327 2 161 1346 2 161 1347 2 161 1353 2 161 1361 2 161 1373 2 161 1373 2 161 1404 2 161 1405 2 161 1446 2 161 1447 2 161 300 2 161 356 2 161 358 2 161 375 2 161 .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 2 163 9 2 163 456 2 163 545 2 163 545 2 163 552 2 163 560 2 163 560 2 163 587 2 163 592 2 163 602 2 163 605 2 163 607 2 163 613 2 163 614 2 163 638 2 163 32 2 163 33 2 163 36 2 163 41 2 163 735 2 163 747 2 163 750 2 163 753 2 163 766 2 163 767 2 163 768 2 163 774 2 163 775 2 163 782 2 163 783 2 163 784 2 163 788 2 163 789 2 163 793 2 163 799 2 163 89 2 163 96 2 163 97 2 163 800 2 163 808 2 163 811 2 163 816 2 163 102 2 163 105 2 163 111 2 163 111 2 163 112 2 163 113 2 163 137 2 163 161 2 163 161 2 163 163 2 163 163 2 163 163 2 163 163 2 163 163 2 163 163 2 163 183 2 163 184 2 163 193 2 163 199 2 163 905 2 163 913 2 163 953 2 163 961 2 163 962 2 163 964 2 163 968 2 163 977 2 163 983 2 163 203 2 163 207 2 163 210 2 163 225 2 163 243 2 163 269 2 163 1016 2 163 1023 2 163 1030 2 163 1030 2 163 1055 2 163 1068 2 163 1087 2 163 1090 2 163 1135 2 163 1203 2 163 1260 2 163 1270 2 163 1275 2 163 1276 2 163 1278 2 163 1280 2 163 1285 2 163 1286 2 163 1287 2 163 1293 2 163 1296 2 163 1298 2 163 1302 2 163 1321 2 163 1335 2 163 1346 2 163 1347 2 163 1390 2 163 1397 2 163 1407 2 163 1417 2 163 1428 2 163 1432 2 163 1445 2 163 311 2 163 356 2 163 373 2 163 386 2 163 398 2 163 .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 401 2 164 419 2 164 421 2 164 465 2 164 466 2 164 467 2 164 467 2 164 481 2 164 490 2 164 490 2 164 491 2 164 491 2 164 491 2 164 506 2 164 506 2 164 507 2 164 507 2 164 510 2 164 512 2 164 512 2 164 520 2 164 523 2 164 591 2 164 591 2 164 595 2 164 603 2 164 604 2 164 609 2 164 609 2 164 622 2 164 623 2 164 623 2 164 629 2 164 633 2 164 639 2 164 659 2 164 676 2 164 687 2 164 18 2 164 34 2 164 49 2 164 711 2 164 714 2 164 722 2 164 723 2 164 726 2 164 728 2 164 730 2 164 731 2 164 732 2 164 53 2 164 59 2 164 59 2 164 809 2 164 809 2 164 810 2 164 813 2 164 813 2 164 814 2 164 814 2 164 820 2 164 822 2 164 822 2 164 828 2 164 870 2 164 879 2 164 164 2 164 164 2 164 164 2 164 164 2 164 164 2 164 164 2 164 172 2 164 178 2 164 907 2 164 202 2 164 213 2 164 224 2 164 224 2 164 243 2 164 274 2 164 1084 2 164 1089 2 164 1091 2 164 1283 2 164 1298 2 164 1298 2 164 1298 2 164 1299 2 164 1363 2 164 1366 2 164 1367 2 164 1368 2 164 1396 2 164 1396 2 164 374 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 445 2 165 445 2 165 448 2 165 451 2 165 452 2 165 476 2 165 484 2 165 511 2 165 516 2 165 518 2 165 521 2 165 522 2 165 523 2 165 525 2 165 525 2 165 526 2 165 527 2 165 528 2 165 529 2 165 530 2 165 575 2 165 590 2 165 590 2 165 609 2 165 610 2 165 615 2 165 621 2 165 621 2 165 621 2 165 625 2 165 626 2 165 636 2 165 641 2 165 641 2 165 641 2 165 656 2 165 668 2 165 670 2 165 671 2 165 671 2 165 673 2 165 674 2 165 683 2 165 683 2 165 689 2 165 689 2 165 689 2 165 687 2 165 29 2 165 700 2 165 705 2 165 707 2 165 714 2 165 715 2 165 727 2 165 754 2 165 762 2 165 58 2 165 797 2 165 812 2 165 814 2 165 817 2 165 819 2 165 824 2 165 875 2 165 898 2 165 117 2 165 124 2 165 125 2 165 165 2 165 165 2 165 165 2 165 165 2 165 165 2 165 165 2 165 165 2 165 901 2 165 252 2 165 254 2 165 1077 2 165 1077 2 165 1077 2 165 1089 2 165 1231 2 165 1231 2 165 1231 2 165 1231 2 165 1303 2 165 1327 2 165 1364 2 165 1366 2 165 1367 2 165 1368 2 165 1404 2 165 1452 2 165 347 2 165 381 2 165 .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 491 2 166 496 2 166 582 2 166 657 2 166 690 2 166 37 2 166 760 2 166 63 2 166 166 2 166 166 2 166 166 2 166 166 2 166 166 2 166 907 2 166 1012 2 166 1111 2 166 1115 2 166 1115 2 166 1293 2 166 1295 2 166 1296 2 166 1446 2 166 1447 2 166 .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.. A theoretical model suggested by B. C. Brookes was tested on various sets of usage data from seven special libraries but the results proved to be unrealistic in terms of immediate provision to the user.. A new experimental approach has now been developed based on the total use versus total cost of a journal collection.. .X 468 2 167 494 2 167 551 2 167 614 2 167 625 2 167 634 2 167 635 2 167 638 2 167 639 2 167 646 2 167 647 2 167 651 2 167 10 2 167 48 2 167 748 2 167 748 2 167 753 2 167 756 2 167 756 2 167 757 2 167 765 2 167 787 2 167 792 2 167 792 2 167 818 2 167 821 2 167 822 2 167 823 2 167 827 2 167 831 2 167 831 2 167 128 2 167 129 2 167 130 2 167 167 2 167 167 2 167 167 2 167 167 2 167 167 2 167 167 2 167 925 2 167 942 2 167 943 2 167 944 2 167 947 2 167 952 2 167 953 2 167 223 2 167 225 2 167 234 2 167 280 2 167 1070 2 167 1083 2 167 1085 2 167 1210 2 167 1254 2 167 1256 2 167 1258 2 167 1260 2 167 1275 2 167 1278 2 167 1302 2 167 1305 2 167 1306 2 167 1369 2 167 1373 2 167 1374 2 167 1390 2 167 1390 2 167 1401 2 167 1418 2 167 1437 2 167 359 2 167 393 2 167 .I 168 .T Aspects of the Theory of Syntax .A Chomsky, N. .W The idea that a language is based on a system of rules determining the interpretation of its infinitely many sentences is by no means novel. 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 417 2 168 443 2 168 448 2 168 479 2 168 480 2 168 483 2 168 484 2 168 486 2 168 488 2 168 488 2 168 489 2 168 491 2 168 493 2 168 493 2 168 499 2 168 498 2 168 503 2 168 507 2 168 509 2 168 510 2 168 512 2 168 517 2 168 520 2 168 522 2 168 527 2 168 528 2 168 531 2 168 546 2 168 558 2 168 558 2 168 565 2 168 566 2 168 566 2 168 570 2 168 572 2 168 572 2 168 572 2 168 581 2 168 581 2 168 590 2 168 596 2 168 603 2 168 608 2 168 608 2 168 633 2 168 659 2 168 659 2 168 21 2 168 715 2 168 746 2 168 754 2 168 51 2 168 790 2 168 790 2 168 69 2 168 69 2 168 71 2 168 77 2 168 77 2 168 79 2 168 79 2 168 805 2 168 809 2 168 810 2 168 812 2 168 813 2 168 814 2 168 817 2 168 817 2 168 819 2 168 824 2 168 825 2 168 825 2 168 894 2 168 118 2 168 160 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 168 2 168 174 2 168 175 2 168 175 2 168 176 2 168 902 2 168 902 2 168 258 2 168 1024 2 168 1027 2 168 1045 2 168 1046 2 168 1046 2 168 1046 2 168 1047 2 168 1051 2 168 1118 2 168 1144 2 168 1213 2 168 1215 2 168 1215 2 168 1225 2 168 1230 2 168 1231 2 168 1294 2 168 1294 2 168 1310 2 168 1327 2 168 1327 2 168 1386 2 168 1388 2 168 1389 2 168 1399 2 168 1399 2 168 1399 2 168 1399 2 168 1399 2 168 1413 2 168 1419 2 168 1427 2 168 1443 2 168 1443 2 168 1443 2 168 1443 2 168 1448 2 168 315 2 168 317 2 168 317 2 168 317 2 168 317 2 168 317 2 168 320 2 168 320 2 168 324 2 168 324 2 168 332 2 168 382 2 168 388 2 168 399 2 168 .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 400 2 169 401 2 169 459 2 169 493 2 169 548 2 169 627 2 169 114 2 169 169 2 169 169 2 169 169 2 169 169 2 169 169 2 169 169 2 169 169 2 169 169 2 169 990 2 169 289 2 169 1073 2 169 1077 2 169 1148 2 169 1227 2 169 1368 2 169 1392 2 169 1414 2 169 1448 2 169 345 2 169 .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 456 2 170 545 2 170 550 2 170 560 2 170 14 2 170 48 2 170 793 2 170 97 2 170 99 2 170 893 2 170 102 2 170 102 2 170 103 2 170 104 2 170 104 2 170 106 2 170 108 2 170 110 2 170 111 2 170 112 2 170 113 2 170 153 2 170 170 2 170 170 2 170 170 2 170 170 2 170 170 2 170 170 2 170 170 2 170 170 2 170 223 2 170 266 2 170 266 2 170 271 2 170 1019 2 170 1028 2 170 1062 2 170 1086 2 170 1087 2 170 1090 2 170 1283 2 170 1285 2 170 1287 2 170 1287 2 170 1291 2 170 1320 2 170 1334 2 170 1337 2 170 1340 2 170 1342 2 170 1344 2 170 1346 2 170 1347 2 170 1347 2 170 1343 2 170 1424 2 170 .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 2 171 20 2 171 171 2 171 171 2 171 171 2 171 171 2 171 171 2 171 909 2 171 918 2 171 933 2 171 230 2 171 1061 2 171 1403 2 171 1423 2 171 1453 2 171 339 2 171 387 2 171 .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 2 172 419 2 172 417 2 172 421 2 172 446 2 172 453 2 172 458 2 172 469 2 172 481 2 172 482 2 172 485 2 172 491 2 172 497 2 172 507 2 172 520 2 172 523 2 172 572 2 172 577 2 172 578 2 172 578 2 172 579 2 172 585 2 172 599 2 172 615 2 172 623 2 172 640 2 172 640 2 172 652 2 172 652 2 172 665 2 172 20 2 172 42 2 172 762 2 172 58 2 172 60 2 172 62 2 172 85 2 172 803 2 172 822 2 172 825 2 172 856 2 172 886 2 172 888 2 172 891 2 172 120 2 172 129 2 172 164 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 172 2 172 178 2 172 191 2 172 194 2 172 902 2 172 907 2 172 907 2 172 907 2 172 907 2 172 907 2 172 913 2 172 943 2 172 963 2 172 967 2 172 211 2 172 212 2 172 214 2 172 216 2 172 217 2 172 218 2 172 220 2 172 274 2 172 283 2 172 293 2 172 296 2 172 1004 2 172 1022 2 172 1030 2 172 1033 2 172 1045 2 172 1084 2 172 1147 2 172 1150 2 172 1207 2 172 1219 2 172 1219 2 172 1257 2 172 1258 2 172 1268 2 172 1268 2 172 1268 2 172 1268 2 172 1279 2 172 1387 2 172 1402 2 172 1417 2 172 1418 2 172 1426 2 172 1426 2 172 1426 2 172 1433 2 172 1441 2 172 360 2 172 360 2 172 365 2 172 374 2 172 386 2 172 .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 418 2 173 173 2 173 173 2 173 173 2 173 173 2 173 173 2 173 173 2 173 227 2 173 237 2 173 237 2 173 1070 2 173 1150 2 173 1186 2 173 1187 2 173 1240 2 173 1340 2 173 387 2 173 .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 419 2 174 420 2 174 422 2 174 446 2 174 454 2 174 479 2 174 479 2 174 483 2 174 485 2 174 485 2 174 489 2 174 493 2 174 499 2 174 500 2 174 517 2 174 527 2 174 562 2 174 564 2 174 564 2 174 660 2 174 661 2 174 661 2 174 662 2 174 662 2 174 663 2 174 663 2 174 664 2 174 26 2 174 45 2 174 769 2 174 769 2 174 785 2 174 114 2 174 149 2 174 168 2 174 174 2 174 174 2 174 174 2 174 174 2 174 174 2 174 174 2 174 1144 2 174 1144 2 174 1327 2 174 1327 2 174 1419 2 174 310 2 174 315 2 174 324 2 174 332 2 174 .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.

Automated Keyword Classification for Information Retrieval .A Sparck-Jones, K. .W This book is primarily a research monograph, in which the discussion of the main topics has been broadened so that they are related to their surrounding context in information retrieval as a whole; it is not a textbook, and no attempt has therefore been made to justify the choice of topic, or account for the use of certain concepts, or to provide an elementary description of either. 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 419 2 176 419 2 176 419 2 176 434 2 176 446 2 176 448 2 176 448 2 176 458 2 176 458 2 176 480 2 176 483 2 176 483 2 176 484 2 176 486 2 176 488 2 176 488 2 176 488 2 176 491 2 176 493 2 176 499 2 176 500 2 176 503 2 176 507 2 176 509 2 176 509 2 176 509 2 176 509 2 176 510 2 176 512 2 176 517 2 176 517 2 176 520 2 176 522 2 176 522 2 176 527 2 176 527 2 176 528 2 176 531 2 176 565 2 176 565 2 176 565 2 176 565 2 176 565 2 176 566 2 176 566 2 176 570 2 176 572 2 176 576 2 176 577 2 176 577 2 176 581 2 176 595 2 176 596 2 176 596 2 176 596 2 176 596 2 176 603 2 176 608 2 176 608 2 176 619 2 176 633 2 176 644 2 176 659 2 176 659 2 176 660 2 176 660 2 176 661 2 176 662 2 176 662 2 176 664 2 176 26 2 176 30 2 176 715 2 176 754 2 176 51 2 176 51 2 176 51 2 176 57 2 176 57 2 176 785 2 176 790 2 176 61 2 176 69 2 176 71 2 176 71 2 176 75 2 176 77 2 176 77 2 176 79 2 176 73 2 176 805 2 176 809 2 176 810 2 176 810 2 176 812 2 176 812 2 176 812 2 176 813 2 176 813 2 176 814 2 176 814 2 176 817 2 176 824 2 176 824 2 176 825 2 176 830 2 176 870 2 176 894 2 176 894 2 176 114 2 176 144 2 176 168 2 176 175 2 176 175 2 176 175 2 176 175 2 176 175 2 176 175 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 176 2 176 928 2 176 963 2 176 990 2 176 991 2 176 1044 2 176 1051 2 176 1218 2 176 1255 2 176 1294 2 176 1307 2 176 1327 2 176 1327 2 176 1413 2 176 1414 2 176 1419 2 176 1427 2 176 1445 2 176 1448 2 176 315 2 176 327 2 176 329 2 176 363 2 176 382 2 176 .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.

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 406 2 178 408 2 178 408 2 178 408 2 178 419 2 178 481 2 178 491 2 178 507 2 178 520 2 178 523 2 178 591 2 178 623 2 178 822 2 178 852 2 178 854 2 178 857 2 178 858 2 178 859 2 178 861 2 178 159 2 178 164 2 178 172 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 178 2 178 907 2 178 907 2 178 916 2 178 925 2 178 959 2 178 960 2 178 962 2 178 962 2 178 970 2 178 976 2 178 997 2 178 206 2 178 245 2 178 245 2 178 249 2 178 287 2 178 291 2 178 1007 2 178 1007 2 178 1011 2 178 1033 2 178 1043 2 178 1071 2 178 1252 2 178 1252 2 178 1317 2 178 1358 2 178 1371 2 178 1400 2 178 1400 2 178 1400 2 178 374 2 178 .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. Described in particular are procedures for dictionary construction and dictionary look-up, statistical and syntactic language analysis methods, information search and matching procedures, automatic information dissemination systems, and methods for user interaction with the mechanized system.

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 572 2 180 683 2 180 78 2 180 179 2 180 180 2 180 180 2 180 180 2 180 180 2 180 180 2 180 180 2 180 1139 2 180 1168 2 180 1171 2 180 1409 2 180 363 2 180 .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 415 2 181 31 2 181 36 2 181 41 2 181 46 2 181 748 2 181 760 2 181 767 2 181 774 2 181 778 2 181 891 2 181 891 2 181 891 2 181 181 2 181 181 2 181 181 2 181 181 2 181 181 2 181 182 2 181 182 2 181 183 2 181 183 2 181 184 2 181 184 2 181 193 2 181 195 2 181 198 2 181 905 2 181 952 2 181 953 2 181 964 2 181 968 2 181 201 2 181 201 2 181 203 2 181 204 2 181 206 2 181 207 2 181 207 2 181 208 2 181 208 2 181 205 2 181 217 2 181 269 2 181 1009 2 181 1018 2 181 1019 2 181 1240 2 181 1359 2 181 1397 2 181 1417 2 181 395 2 181 .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..

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 415 2 184 543 2 184 545 2 184 552 2 184 552 2 184 552 2 184 587 2 184 587 2 184 588 2 184 605 2 184 613 2 184 613 2 184 614 2 184 624 2 184 638 2 184 667 2 184 31 2 184 33 2 184 33 2 184 36 2 184 36 2 184 36 2 184 36 2 184 36 2 184 41 2 184 41 2 184 42 2 184 46 2 184 735 2 184 735 2 184 747 2 184 748 2 184 750 2 184 750 2 184 751 2 184 753 2 184 759 2 184 760 2 184 765 2 184 766 2 184 766 2 184 767 2 184 767 2 184 767 2 184 57 2 184 774 2 184 775 2 184 778 2 184 778 2 184 782 2 184 783 2 184 784 2 184 784 2 184 787 2 184 788 2 184 789 2 184 791 2 184 792 2 184 793 2 184 793 2 184 799 2 184 76 2 184 89 2 184 89 2 184 90 2 184 97 2 184 800 2 184 800 2 184 800 2 184 808 2 184 808 2 184 828 2 184 891 2 184 102 2 184 111 2 184 112 2 184 161 2 184 163 2 184 181 2 184 181 2 184 182 2 184 182 2 184 183 2 184 183 2 184 183 2 184 183 2 184 183 2 184 183 2 184 183 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 184 2 184 193 2 184 193 2 184 193 2 184 193 2 184 193 2 184 193 2 184 195 2 184 195 2 184 198 2 184 198 2 184 199 2 184 199 2 184 905 2 184 905 2 184 952 2 184 953 2 184 953 2 184 959 2 184 964 2 184 968 2 184 977 2 184 983 2 184 201 2 184 201 2 184 201 2 184 201 2 184 201 2 184 202 2 184 202 2 184 203 2 184 203 2 184 203 2 184 203 2 184 203 2 184 203 2 184 204 2 184 204 2 184 204 2 184 204 2 184 204 2 184 205 2 184 205 2 184 205 2 184 209 2 184 210 2 184 212 2 184 217 2 184 220 2 184 222 2 184 225 2 184 233 2 184 267 2 184 269 2 184 269 2 184 284 2 184 286 2 184 294 2 184 1009 2 184 1016 2 184 1018 2 184 1019 2 184 1023 2 184 1030 2 184 1055 2 184 1055 2 184 1081 2 184 1083 2 184 1085 2 184 1086 2 184 1087 2 184 1082 2 184 1090 2 184 1135 2 184 1151 2 184 1201 2 184 1240 2 184 1260 2 184 1275 2 184 1276 2 184 1278 2 184 1278 2 184 1280 2 184 1285 2 184 1286 2 184 1287 2 184 1302 2 184 1335 2 184 1359 2 184 1390 2 184 1397 2 184 1397 2 184 1397 2 184 1397 2 184 1401 2 184 1417 2 184 1417 2 184 1417 2 184 1418 2 184 1428 2 184 1432 2 184 1432 2 184 359 2 184 373 2 184 395 2 184 395 2 184 .I 185 .T An Investigation of the Educational Needs of Health Sciences Library Manpower: I.

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 2 185 891 2 185 891 2 185 182 2 185 182 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 185 2 185 186 2 185 186 2 185 186 2 185 186 2 185 186 2 185 187 2 185 187 2 185 187 2 185 187 2 185 187 2 185 188 2 185 188 2 185 188 2 185 198 2 185 201 2 185 211 2 185 217 2 185 220 2 185 220 2 185 1275 2 185 1397 2 185 .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 891 2 186 182 2 186 185 2 186 185 2 186 185 2 186 185 2 186 185 2 186 186 2 186 186 2 186 186 2 186 186 2 186 186 2 186 186 2 186 186 2 186 187 2 186 187 2 186 187 2 186 187 2 186 188 2 186 188 2 186 188 2 186 220 2 186 .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 2 187 185 2 187 185 2 187 185 2 187 185 2 187 186 2 187 186 2 187 186 2 187 186 2 187 187 2 187 187 2 187 187 2 187 187 2 187 187 2 187 188 2 187 188 2 187 188 2 187 .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 2 188 185 2 188 185 2 188 186 2 188 186 2 188 186 2 188 187 2 188 187 2 188 187 2 188 188 2 188 188 2 188 188 2 188 188 2 188 188 2 188 .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 415 2 189 415 2 189 415 2 189 748 2 189 767 2 189 775 2 189 87 2 189 821 2 189 189 2 189 189 2 189 189 2 189 189 2 189 189 2 189 189 2 189 189 2 189 196 2 189 196 2 189 905 2 189 952 2 189 201 2 189 215 2 189 219 2 189 221 2 189 1071 2 189 1071 2 189 1071 2 189 1071 2 189 1147 2 189 1275 2 189 1302 2 189 1302 2 189 1352 2 189 359 2 189 .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 433 2 190 450 2 190 451 2 190 452 2 190 459 2 190 459 2 190 459 2 190 468 2 190 484 2 190 492 2 190 508 2 190 511 2 190 512 2 190 514 2 190 514 2 190 518 2 190 520 2 190 523 2 190 524 2 190 525 2 190 526 2 190 529 2 190 530 2 190 534 2 190 534 2 190 546 2 190 547 2 190 553 2 190 579 2 190 594 2 190 603 2 190 604 2 190 606 2 190 609 2 190 610 2 190 611 2 190 612 2 190 612 2 190 625 2 190 625 2 190 626 2 190 630 2 190 636 2 190 637 2 190 642 2 190 646 2 190 648 2 190 648 2 190 650 2 190 692 2 190 696 2 190 699 2 190 10 2 190 702 2 190 703 2 190 705 2 190 708 2 190 726 2 190 727 2 190 728 2 190 731 2 190 731 2 190 732 2 190 732 2 190 733 2 190 734 2 190 736 2 190 738 2 190 739 2 190 740 2 190 741 2 190 742 2 190 743 2 190 743 2 190 744 2 190 755 2 190 817 2 190 820 2 190 820 2 190 823 2 190 825 2 190 826 2 190 826 2 190 826 2 190 827 2 190 827 2 190 827 2 190 828 2 190 879 2 190 883 2 190 124 2 190 127 2 190 129 2 190 190 2 190 190 2 190 190 2 190 190 2 190 190 2 190 191 2 190 191 2 190 197 2 190 947 2 190 948 2 190 211 2 190 214 2 190 218 2 190 225 2 190 243 2 190 244 2 190 1004 2 190 1017 2 190 1035 2 190 1058 2 190 1078 2 190 1089 2 190 1091 2 190 1146 2 190 1207 2 190 1230 2 190 1257 2 190 1264 2 190 1297 2 190 1303 2 190 1303 2 190 1356 2 190 1364 2 190 1368 2 190 1370 2 190 1372 2 190 1373 2 190 1374 2 190 1375 2 190 1376 2 190 1377 2 190 1390 2 190 304 2 190 305 2 190 306 2 190 307 2 190 330 2 190 358 2 190 378 2 190 385 2 190 394 2 190 .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..

Miles .W This study is an application of the relationship of serial articles published to serial articles cited, developed in theory in the author's "Statistical Bibliography in the Health Sciences" (BULLETIN 50: 450-461, July 1962).. A ranked list of the indexes of significance of most of the serials indexed in Current List of Medical Literature was derived and erected from 21,000 citations secured in a random sampling of 1962 and 1961 biomedical journals regularly received in the Yale Medical Library.. The author measures the gross indexing effectiveness of Current List against his indexes of significance , offers his method and results as means to reach objective standards for indexing and abstracting, and projects his results as measures of general value of the serials analyzed.. .X 2 2 195 415 2 195 475 2 195 552 2 195 587 2 195 614 2 195 638 2 195 667 2 195 31 2 195 36 2 195 36 2 195 41 2 195 41 2 195 46 2 195 748 2 195 750 2 195 751 2 195 759 2 195 760 2 195 760 2 195 765 2 195 767 2 195 767 2 195 57 2 195 774 2 195 774 2 195 775 2 195 778 2 195 778 2 195 787 2 195 788 2 195 789 2 195 791 2 195 792 2 195 793 2 195 76 2 195 800 2 195 821 2 195 891 2 195 132 2 195 137 2 195 139 2 195 152 2 195 155 2 195 181 2 195 182 2 195 183 2 195 183 2 195 184 2 195 184 2 195 193 2 195 193 2 195 193 2 195 195 2 195 195 2 195 195 2 195 195 2 195 195 2 195 196 2 195 196 2 195 198 2 195 198 2 195 199 2 195 905 2 195 905 2 195 905 2 195 952 2 195 953 2 195 964 2 195 968 2 195 977 2 195 201 2 195 201 2 195 201 2 195 203 2 195 203 2 195 203 2 195 204 2 195 204 2 195 205 2 195 210 2 195 219 2 195 233 2 195 267 2 195 269 2 195 1009 2 195 1018 2 195 1019 2 195 1055 2 195 1056 2 195 1071 2 195 1081 2 195 1083 2 195 1085 2 195 1086 2 195 1082 2 195 1147 2 195 1201 2 195 1240 2 195 1275 2 195 1275 2 195 1278 2 195 1302 2 195 1302 2 195 1355 2 195 1359 2 195 1369 2 195 1397 2 195 1397 2 195 1401 2 195 1417 2 195 1417 2 195 1418 2 195 1451 2 195 359 2 195 395 2 195 395 2 195 .I 196 .T Basic Journal List for Small Hospital Libraries .A Moll, Wilhelm .W This Basic Journal List of forty-eight journal titles is intended as a selection guide for the librarian of the small hospitals..

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 445 2 197 450 2 197 451 2 197 452 2 197 454 2 197 459 2 197 468 2 197 472 2 197 484 2 197 492 2 197 503 2 197 506 2 197 506 2 197 507 2 197 508 2 197 511 2 197 512 2 197 514 2 197 518 2 197 520 2 197 523 2 197 524 2 197 525 2 197 526 2 197 529 2 197 530 2 197 534 2 197 546 2 197 546 2 197 553 2 197 554 2 197 579 2 197 579 2 197 591 2 197 593 2 197 593 2 197 594 2 197 594 2 197 594 2 197 595 2 197 596 2 197 597 2 197 599 2 197 600 2 197 603 2 197 603 2 197 604 2 197 604 2 197 606 2 197 606 2 197 606 2 197 609 2 197 610 2 197 611 2 197 612 2 197 625 2 197 626 2 197 630 2 197 634 2 197 636 2 197 637 2 197 642 2 197 648 2 197 650 2 197 692 2 197 696 2 197 696 2 197 699 2 197 703 2 197 705 2 197 705 2 197 708 2 197 723 2 197 724 2 197 726 2 197 727 2 197 728 2 197 731 2 197 732 2 197 733 2 197 734 2 197 736 2 197 736 2 197 738 2 197 739 2 197 740 2 197 741 2 197 742 2 197 743 2 197 744 2 197 755 2 197 795 2 197 66 2 197 801 2 197 805 2 197 806 2 197 820 2 197 826 2 197 826 2 197 827 2 197 836 2 197 866 2 197 867 2 197 879 2 197 883 2 197 120 2 197 124 2 197 127 2 197 129 2 197 161 2 197 190 2 197 191 2 197 197 2 197 197 2 197 197 2 197 197 2 197 197 2 197 956 2 197 989 2 197 211 2 197 214 2 197 218 2 197 218 2 197 243 2 197 1004 2 197 1035 2 197 1035 2 197 1078 2 197 1089 2 197 1091 2 197 1207 2 197 1264 2 197 1297 2 197 1298 2 197 1299 2 197 1303 2 197 1327 2 197 1356 2 197 1364 2 197 1368 2 197 1370 2 197 1372 2 197 1373 2 197 1374 2 197 1375 2 197 1376 2 197 1377 2 197 1405 2 197 307 2 197 330 2 197 332 2 197 375 2 197 378 2 197 382 2 197 .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 415 2 198 543 2 198 545 2 198 552 2 198 588 2 198 614 2 198 616 2 198 616 2 198 632 2 198 635 2 198 638 2 198 685 2 198 31 2 198 33 2 198 36 2 198 36 2 198 37 2 198 41 2 198 41 2 198 46 2 198 735 2 198 735 2 198 735 2 198 760 2 198 766 2 198 767 2 198 774 2 198 775 2 198 778 2 198 784 2 198 789 2 198 76 2 198 89 2 198 821 2 198 828 2 198 831 2 198 891 2 198 891 2 198 181 2 198 182 2 198 183 2 198 183 2 198 184 2 198 184 2 198 185 2 198 193 2 198 193 2 198 195 2 198 195 2 198 196 2 198 198 2 198 198 2 198 198 2 198 198 2 198 198 2 198 198 2 198 198 2 198 198 2 198 199 2 198 905 2 198 905 2 198 952 2 198 952 2 198 953 2 198 964 2 198 968 2 198 201 2 198 201 2 198 201 2 198 203 2 198 204 2 198 211 2 198 217 2 198 220 2 198 269 2 198 1009 2 198 1018 2 198 1019 2 198 1055 2 198 1071 2 198 1147 2 198 1210 2 198 1240 2 198 1260 2 198 1275 2 198 1275 2 198 1275 2 198 1275 2 198 1275 2 198 1276 2 198 1290 2 198 1302 2 198 1302 2 198 1302 2 198 1302 2 198 1355 2 198 1359 2 198 1397 2 198 1397 2 198 1397 2 198 1417 2 198 1432 2 198 361 2 198 379 2 198 395 2 198 .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 487 2 199 543 2 199 545 2 199 552 2 199 587 2 199 588 2 199 605 2 199 613 2 199 613 2 199 614 2 199 624 2 199 638 2 199 33 2 199 33 2 199 36 2 199 36 2 199 41 2 199 41 2 199 735 2 199 747 2 199 750 2 199 753 2 199 766 2 199 767 2 199 775 2 199 782 2 199 784 2 199 788 2 199 789 2 199 793 2 199 799 2 199 89 2 199 90 2 199 97 2 199 800 2 199 800 2 199 808 2 199 808 2 199 102 2 199 111 2 199 111 2 199 112 2 199 112 2 199 113 2 199 161 2 199 163 2 199 183 2 199 183 2 199 184 2 199 184 2 199 193 2 199 193 2 199 195 2 199 196 2 199 198 2 199 199 2 199 199 2 199 199 2 199 199 2 199 199 2 199 905 2 199 905 2 199 911 2 199 953 2 199 959 2 199 977 2 199 983 2 199 201 2 199 202 2 199 203 2 199 203 2 199 203 2 199 204 2 199 205 2 199 209 2 199 210 2 199 212 2 199 217 2 199 220 2 199 222 2 199 225 2 199 269 2 199 284 2 199 286 2 199 294 2 199 1016 2 199 1023 2 199 1030 2 199 1055 2 199 1071 2 199 1087 2 199 1090 2 199 1135 2 199 1147 2 199 1151 2 199 1260 2 199 1275 2 199 1275 2 199 1276 2 199 1278 2 199 1280 2 199 1285 2 199 1286 2 199 1287 2 199 1302 2 199 1302 2 199 1335 2 199 1380 2 199 1390 2 199 1397 2 199 1417 2 199 1428 2 199 1432 2 199 360 2 199 373 2 199 .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 617 2 200 620 2 200 64 2 200 64 2 200 849 2 200 850 2 200 979 2 200 979 2 200 978 2 200 200 2 200 200 2 200 200 2 200 200 2 200 200 2 200 200 2 200 211 2 200 281 2 200 1051 2 200 1252 2 200 .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 415 2 201 475 2 201 543 2 201 552 2 201 554 2 201 587 2 201 588 2 201 613 2 201 614 2 201 624 2 201 638 2 201 667 2 201 31 2 201 31 2 201 31 2 201 33 2 201 36 2 201 36 2 201 36 2 201 36 2 201 41 2 201 46 2 201 735 2 201 748 2 201 748 2 201 750 2 201 751 2 201 759 2 201 760 2 201 765 2 201 766 2 201 767 2 201 767 2 201 767 2 201 57 2 201 774 2 201 778 2 201 778 2 201 784 2 201 787 2 201 791 2 201 792 2 201 793 2 201 799 2 201 76 2 201 89 2 201 90 2 201 800 2 201 800 2 201 808 2 201 821 2 201 821 2 201 828 2 201 889 2 201 891 2 201 891 2 201 121 2 201 161 2 201 181 2 201 181 2 201 182 2 201 182 2 201 183 2 201 183 2 201 183 2 201 183 2 201 183 2 201 184 2 201 184 2 201 184 2 201 184 2 201 184 2 201 185 2 201 189 2 201 193 2 201 193 2 201 193 2 201 193 2 201 193 2 201 193 2 201 193 2 201 195 2 201 195 2 201 195 2 201 196 2 201 196 2 201 198 2 201 198 2 201 198 2 201 199 2 201 905 2 201 905 2 201 952 2 201 953 2 201 959 2 201 964 2 201 968 2 201 977 2 201 977 2 201 977 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 201 2 201 202 2 201 203 2 201 203 2 201 203 2 201 203 2 201 203 2 201 203 2 201 204 2 201 204 2 201 204 2 201 204 2 201 204 2 201 205 2 201 205 2 201 205 2 201 205 2 201 209 2 201 210 2 201 211 2 201 212 2 201 217 2 201 217 2 201 219 2 201 220 2 201 220 2 201 222 2 201 233 2 201 267 2 201 269 2 201 269 2 201 284 2 201 286 2 201 294 2 201 1009 2 201 1018 2 201 1019 2 201 1019 2 201 1055 2 201 1081 2 201 1083 2 201 1085 2 201 1086 2 201 1086 2 201 1082 2 201 1151 2 201 1173 2 201 1201 2 201 1203 2 201 1203 2 201 1203 2 201 1240 2 201 1256 2 201 1275 2 201 1275 2 201 1278 2 201 1302 2 201 1352 2 201 1352 2 201 1352 2 201 1355 2 201 1359 2 201 1369 2 201 1369 2 201 1397 2 201 1397 2 201 1397 2 201 1397 2 201 1397 2 201 1401 2 201 1417 2 201 1417 2 201 1418 2 201 1432 2 201 1451 2 201 359 2 201 359 2 201 373 2 201 373 2 201 373 2 201 379 2 201 395 2 201 395 2 201 .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 421 2 202 465 2 202 466 2 202 490 2 202 491 2 202 506 2 202 507 2 202 510 2 202 512 2 202 543 2 202 588 2 202 591 2 202 595 2 202 603 2 202 604 2 202 613 2 202 622 2 202 623 2 202 624 2 202 629 2 202 633 2 202 639 2 202 659 2 202 676 2 202 18 2 202 33 2 202 34 2 202 36 2 202 42 2 202 49 2 202 711 2 202 722 2 202 723 2 202 726 2 202 728 2 202 730 2 202 731 2 202 732 2 202 53 2 202 59 2 202 799 2 202 90 2 202 800 2 202 808 2 202 809 2 202 810 2 202 813 2 202 814 2 202 820 2 202 822 2 202 828 2 202 870 2 202 879 2 202 891 2 202 132 2 202 161 2 202 164 2 202 183 2 202 184 2 202 184 2 202 193 2 202 193 2 202 199 2 202 928 2 202 959 2 202 965 2 202 973 2 202 201 2 202 202 2 202 202 2 202 202 2 202 202 2 202 202 2 202 202 2 202 203 2 202 203 2 202 204 2 202 205 2 202 209 2 202 210 2 202 212 2 202 213 2 202 217 2 202 220 2 202 222 2 202 224 2 202 243 2 202 284 2 202 286 2 202 294 2 202 1091 2 202 1151 2 202 1283 2 202 1298 2 202 1299 2 202 1363 2 202 1366 2 202 1367 2 202 1368 2 202 1396 2 202 .I 203 .T Analysis of Recorded Biomedical Book and Journal Use in the Yale Medical Library Part I. Date and Subject Relations .A Stangl, Peter .A Kilgour, Frederick G. .W Analysis of book and journal circulation is based on cancelled charge slips collected over a one-year period in the Yale Medical Library.. 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.. Results are illustrated with graphs and tables.. .X 2 2 203 475 2 203 543 2 203 545 2 203 552 2 203 552 2 203 552 2 203 587 2 203 587 2 203 588 2 203 605 2 203 613 2 203 613 2 203 614 2 203 624 2 203 638 2 203 667 2 203 33 2 203 33 2 203 36 2 203 36 2 203 36 2 203 36 2 203 41 2 203 41 2 203 735 2 203 747 2 203 748 2 203 750 2 203 750 2 203 751 2 203 753 2 203 759 2 203 760 2 203 765 2 203 766 2 203 767 2 203 767 2 203 57 2 203 774 2 203 775 2 203 775 2 203 778 2 203 782 2 203 784 2 203 787 2 203 788 2 203 788 2 203 789 2 203 789 2 203 791 2 203 792 2 203 793 2 203 793 2 203 799 2 203 76 2 203 89 2 203 90 2 203 97 2 203 800 2 203 800 2 203 800 2 203 808 2 203 808 2 203 889 2 203 102 2 203 111 2 203 112 2 203 132 2 203 137 2 203 139 2 203 152 2 203 155 2 203 161 2 203 163 2 203 181 2 203 182 2 203 183 2 203 183 2 203 183 2 203 183 2 203 183 2 203 183 2 203 183 2 203 184 2 203 184 2 203 184 2 203 184 2 203 184 2 203 184 2 203 193 2 203 193 2 203 193 2 203 193 2 203 195 2 203 195 2 203 195 2 203 196 2 203 196 2 203 198 2 203 199 2 203 199 2 203 199 2 203 905 2 203 905 2 203 953 2 203 959 2 203 977 2 203 977 2 203 977 2 203 977 2 203 983 2 203 201 2 203 201 2 203 201 2 203 201 2 203 201 2 203 201 2 203 202 2 203 202 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 203 2 203 204 2 203 204 2 203 204 2 203 204 2 203 204 2 203 204 2 203 205 2 203 205 2 203 205 2 203 205 2 203 209 2 203 210 2 203 210 2 203 210 2 203 210 2 203 210 2 203 212 2 203 217 2 203 220 2 203 222 2 203 225 2 203 225 2 203 233 2 203 267 2 203 269 2 203 284 2 203 286 2 203 294 2 203 1016 2 203 1023 2 203 1030 2 203 1055 2 203 1055 2 203 1056 2 203 1071 2 203 1081 2 203 1083 2 203 1085 2 203 1086 2 203 1087 2 203 1082 2 203 1090 2 203 1135 2 203 1147 2 203 1151 2 203 1201 2 203 1203 2 203 1256 2 203 1260 2 203 1275 2 203 1275 2 203 1276 2 203 1278 2 203 1278 2 203 1280 2 203 1285 2 203 1286 2 203 1287 2 203 1302 2 203 1302 2 203 1335 2 203 1352 2 203 1369 2 203 1390 2 203 1397 2 203 1397 2 203 1397 2 203 1397 2 203 1401 2 203 1417 2 203 1417 2 203 1418 2 203 1428 2 203 1432 2 203 1451 2 203 359 2 203 373 2 203 373 2 203 373 2 203 395 2 203 .I 204 .T Analysis of Recorded Biomedical Book and Journal Use in the Yale Medical Library Part II. Subject and User Relations .A Stangl, Peter .A Kilgour, Frederick G. .W Cancelled charge slips collected over a one-year period supply the data for this analysis of circulation in the Yale Medical Library.. Full-time teacher faculty are the heaviest users of journal literature, and students, of monograph literature.. Faculties of Medical School departments are compared in terms of their use of material in individual subjects.. Subject literatures are analyzed in terms of groups of users borrowing from them.. The extent to which journal titles used by medical students are also used by Medical School faculty is examined.. One of the products of the study is a rank list of journal titles used in the Library.. Results are presented in several tables.. .X 2 2 204 475 2 204 543 2 204 552 2 204 552 2 204 552 2 204 587 2 204 588 2 204 613 2 204 624 2 204 667 2 204 33 2 204 36 2 204 36 2 204 735 2 204 748 2 204 750 2 204 751 2 204 759 2 204 760 2 204 765 2 204 766 2 204 767 2 204 57 2 204 774 2 204 775 2 204 778 2 204 784 2 204 787 2 204 788 2 204 789 2 204 791 2 204 792 2 204 793 2 204 799 2 204 76 2 204 76 2 204 89 2 204 90 2 204 800 2 204 800 2 204 808 2 204 828 2 204 132 2 204 137 2 204 139 2 204 152 2 204 155 2 204 161 2 204 181 2 204 182 2 204 183 2 204 183 2 204 183 2 204 183 2 204 184 2 204 184 2 204 184 2 204 184 2 204 184 2 204 193 2 204 193 2 204 193 2 204 193 2 204 195 2 204 195 2 204 196 2 204 198 2 204 199 2 204 959 2 204 977 2 204 201 2 204 201 2 204 201 2 204 201 2 204 201 2 204 202 2 204 203 2 204 203 2 204 203 2 204 203 2 204 203 2 204 203 2 204 204 2 204 204 2 204 204 2 204 204 2 204 204 2 204 204 2 204 204 2 204 205 2 204 205 2 204 205 2 204 205 2 204 209 2 204 210 2 204 210 2 204 212 2 204 217 2 204 220 2 204 222 2 204 233 2 204 267 2 204 284 2 204 286 2 204 294 2 204 1055 2 204 1055 2 204 1056 2 204 1081 2 204 1083 2 204 1085 2 204 1086 2 204 1082 2 204 1151 2 204 1201 2 204 1278 2 204 1369 2 204 1397 2 204 1397 2 204 1401 2 204 1417 2 204 1418 2 204 1432 2 204 1451 2 204 359 2 204 395 2 204 .I 205 .T The Circulation Analysis of Serial Use: Numbers Game or Key to Service? .A Raisig, Miles L. .W The conventionally erected and reported circulation analysis of serial use in the individual and the feeder library is found to be statistically invalid and misleading, since it measures neither the intellectual use of the serial's contents nor the physical handlings or serial units, and is nonrepresentative of the in-depth library use of serials.. 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.. Data gathering in the feeder library, and implications for the extension of the feeder library's resources, are discussed.. .X 543 2 205 587 2 205 588 2 205 613 2 205 614 2 205 624 2 205 638 2 205 667 2 205 33 2 205 36 2 205 36 2 205 748 2 205 750 2 205 751 2 205 759 2 205 765 2 205 767 2 205 57 2 205 778 2 205 787 2 205 791 2 205 792 2 205 793 2 205 799 2 205 90 2 205 800 2 205 800 2 205 808 2 205 161 2 205 181 2 205 182 2 205 183 2 205 183 2 205 184 2 205 184 2 205 184 2 205 193 2 205 193 2 205 193 2 205 195 2 205 196 2 205 199 2 205 959 2 205 977 2 205 201 2 205 201 2 205 201 2 205 201 2 205 202 2 205 203 2 205 203 2 205 203 2 205 203 2 205 204 2 205 204 2 205 204 2 205 204 2 205 205 2 205 205 2 205 205 2 205 205 2 205 205 2 205 209 2 205 210 2 205 212 2 205 217 2 205 220 2 205 222 2 205 233 2 205 267 2 205 284 2 205 286 2 205 294 2 205 1081 2 205 1083 2 205 1085 2 205 1086 2 205 1082 2 205 1151 2 205 1201 2 205 1278 2 205 1352 2 205 1369 2 205 1369 2 205 1401 2 205 1417 2 205 1418 2 205 359 2 205 395 2 205 .I 206 .T Development of Methodologic Tools for Planning and Managing Library Services: I.

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 4 2 207 5 2 207 9 2 207 9 2 207 408 2 207 456 2 207 458 2 207 458 2 207 481 2 207 483 2 207 485 2 207 502 2 207 502 2 207 515 2 207 535 2 207 549 2 207 625 2 207 629 2 207 631 2 207 634 2 207 638 2 207 638 2 207 31 2 207 32 2 207 46 2 207 748 2 207 764 2 207 766 2 207 768 2 207 774 2 207 779 2 207 780 2 207 783 2 207 791 2 207 799 2 207 61 2 207 67 2 207 70 2 207 71 2 207 72 2 207 73 2 207 96 2 207 811 2 207 811 2 207 811 2 207 811 2 207 811 2 207 811 2 207 811 2 207 816 2 207 816 2 207 816 2 207 816 2 207 818 2 207 823 2 207 843 2 207 844 2 207 846 2 207 891 2 207 131 2 207 133 2 207 135 2 207 136 2 207 137 2 207 153 2 207 163 2 207 175 2 207 181 2 207 181 2 207 913 2 207 915 2 207 925 2 207 925 2 207 925 2 207 925 2 207 939 2 207 948 2 207 959 2 207 960 2 207 961 2 207 961 2 207 961 2 207 962 2 207 962 2 207 962 2 207 963 2 207 964 2 207 964 2 207 964 2 207 964 2 207 964 2 207 968 2 207 976 2 207 981 2 207 982 2 207 994 2 207 206 2 207 206 2 207 206 2 207 206 2 207 206 2 207 206 2 207 206 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 207 2 207 208 2 207 208 2 207 208 2 207 208 2 207 208 2 207 208 2 207 217 2 207 217 2 207 222 2 207 223 2 207 234 2 207 234 2 207 245 2 207 245 2 207 266 2 207 266 2 207 270 2 207 272 2 207 277 2 207 282 2 207 296 2 207 297 2 207 298 2 207 1005 2 207 1015 2 207 1068 2 207 1203 2 207 1205 2 207 1242 2 207 1247 2 207 1268 2 207 1317 2 207 1317 2 207 1321 2 207 1354 2 207 1358 2 207 1400 2 207 1400 2 207 1402 2 207 1407 2 207 1407 2 207 1410 2 207 1417 2 207 1445 2 207 300 2 207 301 2 207 302 2 207 358 2 207 364 2 207 364 2 207 382 2 207 .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 408 2 208 408 2 208 415 2 208 458 2 208 481 2 208 483 2 208 485 2 208 591 2 208 31 2 208 46 2 208 748 2 208 779 2 208 780 2 208 61 2 208 67 2 208 70 2 208 71 2 208 72 2 208 73 2 208 816 2 208 891 2 208 135 2 208 175 2 208 181 2 208 181 2 208 925 2 208 925 2 208 962 2 208 964 2 208 964 2 208 964 2 208 970 2 208 976 2 208 976 2 208 981 2 208 982 2 208 206 2 208 206 2 208 206 2 208 206 2 208 206 2 208 206 2 208 206 2 208 206 2 208 207 2 208 207 2 208 207 2 208 207 2 208 207 2 208 207 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 208 2 208 217 2 208 217 2 208 222 2 208 223 2 208 245 2 208 266 2 208 266 2 208 270 2 208 272 2 208 277 2 208 282 2 208 1005 2 208 1005 2 208 1007 2 208 1018 2 208 1056 2 208 1205 2 208 1317 2 208 1317 2 208 1358 2 208 1384 2 208 1400 2 208 1402 2 208 1407 2 208 1410 2 208 1417 2 208 358 2 208 382 2 208 385 2 208 .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 543 2 209 588 2 209 613 2 209 624 2 209 33 2 209 36 2 209 799 2 209 90 2 209 800 2 209 808 2 209 161 2 209 183 2 209 184 2 209 193 2 209 199 2 209 928 2 209 928 2 209 959 2 209 963 2 209 973 2 209 973 2 209 201 2 209 202 2 209 203 2 209 204 2 209 205 2 209 209 2 209 209 2 209 209 2 209 209 2 209 209 2 209 209 2 209 212 2 209 217 2 209 220 2 209 222 2 209 276 2 209 276 2 209 284 2 209 286 2 209 294 2 209 1151 2 209 326 2 209 .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 2 210 475 2 210 545 2 210 552 2 210 552 2 210 587 2 210 605 2 210 613 2 210 614 2 210 614 2 210 638 2 210 658 2 210 24 2 210 33 2 210 36 2 210 41 2 210 716 2 210 735 2 210 747 2 210 748 2 210 748 2 210 750 2 210 753 2 210 760 2 210 763 2 210 766 2 210 767 2 210 774 2 210 775 2 210 775 2 210 55 2 210 782 2 210 782 2 210 784 2 210 788 2 210 788 2 210 788 2 210 788 2 210 788 2 210 789 2 210 789 2 210 789 2 210 793 2 210 62 2 210 65 2 210 66 2 210 75 2 210 76 2 210 76 2 210 89 2 210 97 2 210 800 2 210 808 2 210 837 2 210 102 2 210 111 2 210 112 2 210 132 2 210 137 2 210 137 2 210 139 2 210 147 2 210 152 2 210 155 2 210 163 2 210 183 2 210 183 2 210 183 2 210 184 2 210 193 2 210 193 2 210 195 2 210 196 2 210 199 2 210 905 2 210 925 2 210 953 2 210 977 2 210 977 2 210 983 2 210 986 2 210 201 2 210 202 2 210 203 2 210 203 2 210 203 2 210 203 2 210 203 2 210 204 2 210 204 2 210 205 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 210 2 210 219 2 210 225 2 210 225 2 210 225 2 210 269 2 210 278 2 210 279 2 210 280 2 210 1016 2 210 1023 2 210 1030 2 210 1050 2 210 1055 2 210 1055 2 210 1055 2 210 1056 2 210 1083 2 210 1086 2 210 1087 2 210 1090 2 210 1135 2 210 1254 2 210 1260 2 210 1275 2 210 1276 2 210 1278 2 210 1280 2 210 1285 2 210 1286 2 210 1287 2 210 1291 2 210 1302 2 210 1335 2 210 1361 2 210 1369 2 210 1390 2 210 1397 2 210 1400 2 210 1404 2 210 1404 2 210 1417 2 210 1428 2 210 1432 2 210 1451 2 210 355 2 210 359 2 210 373 2 210 386 2 210 395 2 210 398 2 210 .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 421 2 213 465 2 213 465 2 213 466 2 213 466 2 213 490 2 213 491 2 213 491 2 213 495 2 213 506 2 213 506 2 213 507 2 213 510 2 213 512 2 213 591 2 213 595 2 213 603 2 213 604 2 213 622 2 213 623 2 213 629 2 213 633 2 213 639 2 213 659 2 213 676 2 213 676 2 213 696 2 213 13 2 213 18 2 213 34 2 213 49 2 213 711 2 213 720 2 213 722 2 213 723 2 213 726 2 213 728 2 213 730 2 213 731 2 213 732 2 213 53 2 213 59 2 213 779 2 213 790 2 213 65 2 213 75 2 213 76 2 213 76 2 213 809 2 213 810 2 213 813 2 213 814 2 213 820 2 213 822 2 213 828 2 213 870 2 213 870 2 213 879 2 213 121 2 213 156 2 213 164 2 213 914 2 213 986 2 213 202 2 213 213 2 213 213 2 213 213 2 213 213 2 213 213 2 213 214 2 213 224 2 213 224 2 213 243 2 213 1055 2 213 1083 2 213 1086 2 213 1091 2 213 1283 2 213 1295 2 213 1297 2 213 1298 2 213 1299 2 213 1362 2 213 1363 2 213 1363 2 213 1366 2 213 1367 2 213 1368 2 213 1396 2 213 381 2 213 382 2 213 382 2 213 382 2 213 .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 502 2 217 543 2 217 588 2 217 591 2 217 598 2 217 613 2 217 624 2 217 33 2 217 36 2 217 36 2 217 748 2 217 779 2 217 799 2 217 90 2 217 800 2 217 808 2 217 811 2 217 816 2 217 891 2 217 891 2 217 891 2 217 161 2 217 172 2 217 181 2 217 183 2 217 184 2 217 185 2 217 193 2 217 198 2 217 199 2 217 959 2 217 962 2 217 964 2 217 201 2 217 201 2 217 202 2 217 203 2 217 204 2 217 206 2 217 207 2 217 207 2 217 208 2 217 208 2 217 205 2 217 209 2 217 211 2 217 211 2 217 212 2 217 214 2 217 216 2 217 217 2 217 217 2 217 217 2 217 217 2 217 217 2 217 217 2 217 217 2 217 217 2 217 218 2 217 220 2 217 220 2 217 220 2 217 222 2 217 222 2 217 223 2 217 243 2 217 249 2 217 284 2 217 286 2 217 294 2 217 1030 2 217 1147 2 217 1151 2 217 1275 2 217 1397 2 217 1403 2 217 364 2 217 385 2 217 .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.. Examples are given of cost analyses of information services and certain conjectures are offered concerning the roles of national networks.. .X 408 2 218 450 2 218 451 2 218 452 2 218 459 2 218 468 2 218 484 2 218 492 2 218 492 2 218 497 2 218 506 2 218 507 2 218 508 2 218 508 2 218 510 2 218 511 2 218 512 2 218 514 2 218 518 2 218 520 2 218 523 2 218 524 2 218 525 2 218 526 2 218 529 2 218 530 2 218 534 2 218 546 2 218 546 2 218 548 2 218 553 2 218 579 2 218 593 2 218 594 2 218 594 2 218 594 2 218 603 2 218 604 2 218 604 2 218 606 2 218 606 2 218 601 2 218 609 2 218 607 2 218 610 2 218 611 2 218 612 2 218 625 2 218 626 2 218 630 2 218 636 2 218 637 2 218 642 2 218 648 2 218 650 2 218 692 2 218 696 2 218 699 2 218 703 2 218 705 2 218 708 2 218 726 2 218 727 2 218 728 2 218 731 2 218 732 2 218 733 2 218 734 2 218 736 2 218 738 2 218 739 2 218 740 2 218 741 2 218 742 2 218 743 2 218 744 2 218 755 2 218 66 2 218 820 2 218 826 2 218 827 2 218 855 2 218 866 2 218 867 2 218 879 2 218 883 2 218 891 2 218 124 2 218 127 2 218 129 2 218 172 2 218 190 2 218 191 2 218 197 2 218 197 2 218 986 2 218 211 2 218 211 2 218 214 2 218 214 2 218 214 2 218 216 2 218 217 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 218 2 218 220 2 218 243 2 218 243 2 218 250 2 218 253 2 218 1004 2 218 1012 2 218 1030 2 218 1035 2 218 1035 2 218 1042 2 218 1078 2 218 1087 2 218 1089 2 218 1091 2 218 1147 2 218 1188 2 218 1207 2 218 1264 2 218 1297 2 218 1303 2 218 1327 2 218 1356 2 218 1364 2 218 1368 2 218 1370 2 218 1372 2 218 1373 2 218 1374 2 218 1375 2 218 1376 2 218 1377 2 218 1379 2 218 307 2 218 330 2 218 332 2 218 340 2 218 348 2 218 375 2 218 375 2 218 378 2 218 .I 219 .T Selected Lists of Journals for the Small Medical Library: A Comparative Analysis .A Timour, John A. .W The results of a survey and weighted summary of all major suggested journal subscription lists for hospital libraries are described..

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 543 2 220 588 2 220 613 2 220 624 2 220 33 2 220 36 2 220 36 2 220 799 2 220 90 2 220 800 2 220 808 2 220 891 2 220 891 2 220 891 2 220 891 2 220 161 2 220 172 2 220 182 2 220 183 2 220 184 2 220 185 2 220 185 2 220 186 2 220 193 2 220 198 2 220 199 2 220 959 2 220 201 2 220 201 2 220 202 2 220 203 2 220 204 2 220 205 2 220 209 2 220 211 2 220 211 2 220 212 2 220 214 2 220 216 2 220 217 2 220 217 2 220 217 2 220 218 2 220 220 2 220 220 2 220 220 2 220 220 2 220 220 2 220 220 2 220 220 2 220 220 2 220 222 2 220 284 2 220 286 2 220 294 2 220 1030 2 220 1147 2 220 1151 2 220 1275 2 220 1397 2 220 .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 2 222 9 2 222 435 2 222 494 2 222 515 2 222 515 2 222 535 2 222 543 2 222 587 2 222 588 2 222 591 2 222 613 2 222 615 2 222 624 2 222 625 2 222 629 2 222 631 2 222 634 2 222 33 2 222 36 2 222 791 2 222 792 2 222 792 2 222 799 2 222 90 2 222 90 2 222 91 2 222 800 2 222 808 2 222 811 2 222 815 2 222 815 2 222 816 2 222 816 2 222 818 2 222 823 2 222 823 2 222 840 2 222 843 2 222 844 2 222 846 2 222 158 2 222 161 2 222 183 2 222 184 2 222 193 2 222 199 2 222 915 2 222 925 2 222 948 2 222 945 2 222 957 2 222 959 2 222 961 2 222 962 2 222 962 2 222 964 2 222 964 2 222 994 2 222 201 2 222 202 2 222 203 2 222 204 2 222 207 2 222 208 2 222 205 2 222 209 2 222 212 2 222 217 2 222 217 2 222 220 2 222 222 2 222 222 2 222 222 2 222 222 2 222 222 2 222 222 2 222 222 2 222 223 2 222 223 2 222 223 2 222 223 2 222 267 2 222 284 2 222 286 2 222 294 2 222 296 2 222 297 2 222 298 2 222 1015 2 222 1023 2 222 1151 2 222 1219 2 222 1219 2 222 1227 2 222 1242 2 222 1247 2 222 1268 2 222 1324 2 222 1354 2 222 1365 2 222 1390 2 222 1416 2 222 1417 2 222 300 2 222 301 2 222 302 2 222 358 2 222 364 2 222 368 2 222 .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 2 223 9 2 223 435 2 223 468 2 223 494 2 223 515 2 223 535 2 223 550 2 223 591 2 223 615 2 223 625 2 223 629 2 223 631 2 223 634 2 223 639 2 223 646 2 223 647 2 223 651 2 223 14 2 223 765 2 223 791 2 223 792 2 223 90 2 223 91 2 223 811 2 223 815 2 223 815 2 223 816 2 223 816 2 223 818 2 223 818 2 223 822 2 223 823 2 223 823 2 223 827 2 223 843 2 223 844 2 223 846 2 223 128 2 223 129 2 223 130 2 223 153 2 223 158 2 223 167 2 223 170 2 223 915 2 223 925 2 223 943 2 223 944 2 223 945 2 223 957 2 223 961 2 223 962 2 223 962 2 223 964 2 223 964 2 223 994 2 223 207 2 223 208 2 223 217 2 223 222 2 223 222 2 223 222 2 223 222 2 223 223 2 223 223 2 223 223 2 223 223 2 223 223 2 223 223 2 223 225 2 223 234 2 223 266 2 223 271 2 223 280 2 223 296 2 223 297 2 223 298 2 223 1015 2 223 1019 2 223 1023 2 223 1028 2 223 1070 2 223 1085 2 223 1086 2 223 1090 2 223 1219 2 223 1227 2 223 1242 2 223 1247 2 223 1268 2 223 1354 2 223 1365 2 223 1374 2 223 1390 2 223 1390 2 223 1401 2 223 1424 2 223 1437 2 223 300 2 223 301 2 223 302 2 223 358 2 223 364 2 223 368 2 223 393 2 223 .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 implementation and refinement of the system are documented, and the very favorable response to the system is examined.. 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.. All SDI users find it highly acceptable curent awareness service for use in addition to Current Contents and have indicated the desire to continue participation in the service.. .X 421 2 224 456 2 224 458 2 224 465 2 224 466 2 224 467 2 224 490 2 224 491 2 224 506 2 224 507 2 224 510 2 224 512 2 224 514 2 224 554 2 224 575 2 224 579 2 224 591 2 224 591 2 224 595 2 224 595 2 224 599 2 224 603 2 224 603 2 224 604 2 224 609 2 224 615 2 224 619 2 224 620 2 224 621 2 224 622 2 224 623 2 224 625 2 224 629 2 224 630 2 224 633 2 224 639 2 224 659 2 224 676 2 224 18 2 224 34 2 224 49 2 224 711 2 224 722 2 224 723 2 224 726 2 224 728 2 224 730 2 224 731 2 224 732 2 224 752 2 224 53 2 224 59 2 224 780 2 224 809 2 224 810 2 224 813 2 224 814 2 224 820 2 224 822 2 224 822 2 224 828 2 224 828 2 224 845 2 224 845 2 224 870 2 224 870 2 224 879 2 224 164 2 224 164 2 224 175 2 224 907 2 224 202 2 224 213 2 224 213 2 224 224 2 224 224 2 224 224 2 224 224 2 224 224 2 224 224 2 224 224 2 224 243 2 224 298 2 224 1091 2 224 1283 2 224 1298 2 224 1298 2 224 1299 2 224 1363 2 224 1366 2 224 1367 2 224 1368 2 224 1372 2 224 1374 2 224 1396 2 224 1396 2 224 381 2 224 382 2 224 .I 225 .T A Method of Estimating the In-House Use of the Periodical Collection in the University of Minnesota Bio-Medical Library .A Tibbetts, Pamela .W During two one-week periods in April 1972, information on periodical title and date was gathered from periodicals collected from study and reshelving tables of the University of Minnesota Bio-Medical Library.

Yet these many pages fail in three significant ways to accomplish the end they nominally espouse and which I urge. .X 441 2 226 79 2 226 226 2 226 226 2 226 226 2 226 226 2 226 226 2 226 324 2 226 .I 227 .T A Behavioral Theory of the Firm .A Cyert, R.M. .W This book is about the business firm and the way it makes economic decisions. 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 418 2 227 436 2 227 173 2 227 227 2 227 227 2 227 227 2 227 227 2 227 227 2 227 1025 2 227 1036 2 227 1070 2 227 1150 2 227 1186 2 227 1187 2 227 1188 2 227 .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 416 2 228 416 2 228 416 2 228 442 2 228 442 2 228 442 2 228 450 2 228 450 2 228 469 2 228 495 2 228 495 2 228 494 2 228 505 2 228 511 2 228 511 2 228 511 2 228 521 2 228 524 2 228 524 2 228 524 2 228 536 2 228 540 2 228 563 2 228 565 2 228 567 2 228 574 2 228 587 2 228 599 2 228 19 2 228 19 2 228 700 2 228 750 2 228 751 2 228 792 2 228 73 2 228 803 2 228 804 2 228 835 2 228 835 2 228 851 2 228 851 2 228 862 2 228 862 2 228 867 2 228 867 2 228 875 2 228 149 2 228 175 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 228 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 229 2 228 1085 2 228 1086 2 228 1082 2 228 1082 2 228 1194 2 228 1194 2 228 1194 2 228 1199 2 228 1199 2 228 1199 2 228 1224 2 228 1232 2 228 1274 2 228 1282 2 228 1313 2 228 1396 2 228 1398 2 228 318 2 228 321 2 228 321 2 228 321 2 228 324 2 228 329 2 228 329 2 228 329 2 228 359 2 228 389 2 228 390 2 228 .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 469 2 229 494 2 229 521 2 229 540 2 229 574 2 229 587 2 229 19 2 229 700 2 229 750 2 229 751 2 229 792 2 229 73 2 229 804 2 229 867 2 229 149 2 229 175 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 228 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 229 2 229 1085 2 229 1086 2 229 1082 2 229 1199 2 229 1224 2 229 1232 2 229 1274 2 229 1282 2 229 1313 2 229 321 2 229 329 2 229 359 2 229 .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 2 230 896 2 230 171 2 230 934 2 230 954 2 230 230 2 230 230 2 230 230 2 230 230 2 230 230 2 230 1403 2 230 1423 2 230 1423 2 230 339 2 230 387 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.

Its appearance is so frequent, and the phenomena in which it appears so diverse, that one is led to the conjecture that if these phenomena have any property in common it can only be a similarity in the structure of the underlying probability mechanisms. 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 473 2 233 505 2 233 560 2 233 573 2 233 587 2 233 618 2 233 632 2 233 635 2 233 667 2 233 667 2 233 19 2 233 33 2 233 36 2 233 37 2 233 39 2 233 40 2 233 41 2 233 47 2 233 48 2 233 748 2 233 748 2 233 748 2 233 748 2 233 749 2 233 750 2 233 751 2 233 751 2 233 759 2 233 764 2 233 765 2 233 765 2 233 765 2 233 767 2 233 57 2 233 50 2 233 777 2 233 778 2 233 778 2 233 778 2 233 782 2 233 784 2 233 786 2 233 787 2 233 791 2 233 791 2 233 792 2 233 793 2 233 88 2 233 97 2 233 800 2 233 804 2 233 805 2 233 893 2 233 893 2 233 893 2 233 893 2 233 893 2 233 102 2 233 103 2 233 105 2 233 184 2 233 193 2 233 195 2 233 952 2 233 201 2 233 203 2 233 204 2 233 205 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 233 2 233 253 2 233 267 2 233 1016 2 233 1030 2 233 1061 2 233 1081 2 233 1083 2 233 1085 2 233 1085 2 233 1086 2 233 1086 2 233 1087 2 233 1082 2 233 1082 2 233 1182 2 233 1182 2 233 1200 2 233 1201 2 233 1274 2 233 1275 2 233 1277 2 233 1278 2 233 1278 2 233 1280 2 233 1285 2 233 1286 2 233 1287 2 233 1287 2 233 1287 2 233 1301 2 233 1302 2 233 1304 2 233 1313 2 233 1335 2 233 1338 2 233 1338 2 233 1341 2 233 1341 2 233 1344 2 233 1347 2 233 1380 2 233 1401 2 233 1417 2 233 1418 2 233 1422 2 233 1428 2 233 1444 2 233 313 2 233 359 2 233 359 2 233 377 2 233 379 2 233 379 2 233 395 2 233 395 2 233 .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 2 234 433 2 234 468 2 234 494 2 234 502 2 234 638 2 234 639 2 234 646 2 234 646 2 234 647 2 234 647 2 234 651 2 234 651 2 234 764 2 234 764 2 234 765 2 234 811 2 234 811 2 234 811 2 234 816 2 234 816 2 234 818 2 234 818 2 234 822 2 234 823 2 234 823 2 234 827 2 234 842 2 234 115 2 234 115 2 234 128 2 234 129 2 234 130 2 234 167 2 234 925 2 234 925 2 234 925 2 234 942 2 234 943 2 234 943 2 234 944 2 234 944 2 234 944 2 234 948 2 234 948 2 234 948 2 234 963 2 234 207 2 234 207 2 234 223 2 234 225 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 234 2 234 236 2 234 245 2 234 280 2 234 1017 2 234 1023 2 234 1049 2 234 1070 2 234 1085 2 234 1206 2 234 1237 2 234 1257 2 234 1374 2 234 1378 2 234 1390 2 234 1401 2 234 1437 2 234 1440 2 234 1450 2 234 1453 2 234 304 2 234 306 2 234 303 2 234 338 2 234 361 2 234 364 2 234 365 2 234 393 2 234 .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 404 2 235 548 2 235 594 2 235 597 2 235 598 2 235 601 2 235 601 2 235 16 2 235 92 2 235 836 2 235 848 2 235 863 2 235 863 2 235 864 2 235 864 2 235 865 2 235 866 2 235 868 2 235 897 2 235 897 2 235 916 2 235 936 2 235 950 2 235 991 2 235 997 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 235 2 235 246 2 235 247 2 235 250 2 235 289 2 235 289 2 235 291 2 235 1000 2 235 1052 2 235 1152 2 235 1152 2 235 1153 2 235 1216 2 235 1248 2 235 1266 2 235 1392 2 235 1395 2 235 1441 2 235 326 2 235 333 2 235 .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 433 2 236 637 2 236 115 2 236 234 2 236 236 2 236 236 2 236 236 2 236 236 2 236 236 2 236 303 2 236 .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 2 237 20 2 237 767 2 237 772 2 237 132 2 237 137 2 237 173 2 237 173 2 237 952 2 237 954 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 237 2 237 238 2 237 272 2 237 1030 2 237 1056 2 237 1240 2 237 1275 2 237 1280 2 237 1453 2 237 .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?

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 406 2 241 408 2 241 458 2 241 896 2 241 119 2 241 916 2 241 948 2 241 946 2 241 986 2 241 214 2 241 232 2 241 241 2 241 241 2 241 241 2 241 241 2 241 241 2 241 241 2 241 1012 2 241 1033 2 241 1079 2 241 1084 2 241 1249 2 241 1254 2 241 1379 2 241 1403 2 241 331 2 241 355 2 241 358 2 241 382 2 241 .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.

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 433 2 244 459 2 244 459 2 244 529 2 244 534 2 244 575 2 244 599 2 244 621 2 244 630 2 244 630 2 244 692 2 244 10 2 244 702 2 244 731 2 244 732 2 244 817 2 244 820 2 244 822 2 244 823 2 244 825 2 244 826 2 244 827 2 244 828 2 244 854 2 244 871 2 244 872 2 244 873 2 244 874 2 244 875 2 244 876 2 244 877 2 244 878 2 244 879 2 244 880 2 244 892 2 244 120 2 244 128 2 244 135 2 244 141 2 244 190 2 244 925 2 244 940 2 244 941 2 244 947 2 244 948 2 244 990 2 244 994 2 244 997 2 244 998 2 244 225 2 244 244 2 244 244 2 244 244 2 244 244 2 244 244 2 244 244 2 244 244 2 244 244 2 244 245 2 244 291 2 244 299 2 244 1017 2 244 1058 2 244 1079 2 244 1143 2 244 1146 2 244 1230 2 244 1230 2 244 1257 2 244 1257 2 244 1303 2 244 1390 2 244 1396 2 244 1402 2 244 1435 2 244 1436 2 244 304 2 244 305 2 244 306 2 244 358 2 244 365 2 244 385 2 244 394 2 244 .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 2 245 5 2 245 5 2 245 408 2 245 408 2 245 408 2 245 408 2 245 459 2 245 486 2 245 490 2 245 496 2 245 575 2 245 591 2 245 591 2 245 592 2 245 599 2 245 621 2 245 630 2 245 692 2 245 13 2 245 24 2 245 717 2 245 720 2 245 723 2 245 724 2 245 748 2 245 764 2 245 766 2 245 781 2 245 783 2 245 785 2 245 786 2 245 787 2 245 788 2 245 789 2 245 791 2 245 792 2 245 64 2 245 71 2 245 72 2 245 74 2 245 74 2 245 75 2 245 77 2 245 78 2 245 79 2 245 73 2 245 81 2 245 82 2 245 83 2 245 83 2 245 83 2 245 86 2 245 811 2 245 811 2 245 816 2 245 816 2 245 818 2 245 823 2 245 834 2 245 834 2 245 835 2 245 841 2 245 842 2 245 842 2 245 848 2 245 849 2 245 850 2 245 851 2 245 852 2 245 860 2 245 115 2 245 120 2 245 128 2 245 135 2 245 147 2 245 153 2 245 153 2 245 156 2 245 175 2 245 178 2 245 178 2 245 922 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 925 2 245 944 2 245 948 2 245 957 2 245 959 2 245 960 2 245 961 2 245 962 2 245 962 2 245 963 2 245 964 2 245 964 2 245 976 2 245 976 2 245 976 2 245 981 2 245 982 2 245 982 2 245 984 2 245 206 2 245 206 2 245 207 2 245 207 2 245 208 2 245 211 2 245 212 2 245 234 2 245 244 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 245 2 245 249 2 245 249 2 245 266 2 245 267 2 245 273 2 245 277 2 245 277 2 245 278 2 245 279 2 245 279 2 245 280 2 245 282 2 245 288 2 245 291 2 245 291 2 245 1005 2 245 1007 2 245 1023 2 245 1042 2 245 1051 2 245 1148 2 245 1184 2 245 1227 2 245 1238 2 245 1257 2 245 1317 2 245 1317 2 245 1317 2 245 1317 2 245 1317 2 245 1317 2 245 1353 2 245 1358 2 245 1358 2 245 1359 2 245 1359 2 245 1360 2 245 1360 2 245 1400 2 245 1400 2 245 1400 2 245 1400 2 245 1400 2 245 1400 2 245 1400 2 245 1402 2 245 1402 2 245 1410 2 245 1415 2 245 1424 2 245 331 2 245 331 2 245 350 2 245 364 2 245 364 2 245 365 2 245 374 2 245 381 2 245 .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. The author was directed to prepare, for the Board on Cataloging Policy and Research of the A.L.A. Division of Cataloging and Classification, a general analysis of the ALA cataloging rules for author and title entry, with special consideration of the rules for corporate authors, and a discussion of the objectives and principles which should underlie a revision of the rules. The first three parts of the report are directed, respectively, to the three aspects of this assignment. The fourth part of the report was added to deal with general questions raised by readers of a preliminary draft of this report. .X 799 2 246 92 2 246 92 2 246 825 2 246 848 2 246 883 2 246 919 2 246 920 2 246 922 2 246 930 2 246 941 2 246 950 2 246 950 2 246 978 2 246 988 2 246 991 2 246 991 2 246 997 2 246 997 2 246 235 2 246 246 2 246 246 2 246 246 2 246 246 2 246 246 2 246 246 2 246 246 2 246 246 2 246 247 2 246 247 2 246 265 2 246 265 2 246 1000 2 246 1013 2 246 1079 2 246 1153 2 246 1216 2 246 1216 2 246 1266 2 246 1265 2 246 1395 2 246 1433 2 246 1433 2 246 1441 2 246 1445 2 246 326 2 246 331 2 246 333 2 246 333 2 246 .I 247 .T Cataloging U.S.A. .A Dunkin, P.S. .W The book deals almost entirely with theory and principles. 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 581 2 247 666 2 247 30 2 247 71 2 247 75 2 247 77 2 247 78 2 247 79 2 247 80 2 247 81 2 247 82 2 247 83 2 247 92 2 247 838 2 247 853 2 247 154 2 247 950 2 247 991 2 247 991 2 247 997 2 247 212 2 247 235 2 247 246 2 247 246 2 247 247 2 247 247 2 247 247 2 247 247 2 247 247 2 247 247 2 247 247 2 247 247 2 247 1000 2 247 1004 2 247 1153 2 247 1216 2 247 1266 2 247 1265 2 247 1265 2 247 1393 2 247 1395 2 247 1431 2 247 1441 2 247 326 2 247 333 2 247 .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 conference theme centered on the implications of cable television for libraries. 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 910 2 248 248 2 248 248 2 248 248 2 248 248 2 248 248 2 248 1017 2 248 1145 2 248 .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 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 404 2 250 408 2 250 16 2 250 855 2 250 863 2 250 864 2 250 872 2 250 897 2 250 938 2 250 974 2 250 981 2 250 984 2 250 986 2 250 214 2 250 218 2 250 235 2 250 249 2 250 249 2 250 250 2 250 250 2 250 250 2 250 250 2 250 250 2 250 250 2 250 250 2 250 250 2 250 289 2 250 295 2 250 1012 2 250 1152 2 250 1188 2 250 1247 2 250 1257 2 250 1317 2 250 1379 2 250 1390 2 250 1392 2 250 1410 2 250 340 2 250 348 2 250 365 2 250 375 2 250 394 2 250 .I 251 .T Carl H. Milam and the American Library Association .A Sullivan, P. .W Carl Hastings Milam spent the most productive years of his life in the positions with which his name is most closely associated, those of secretary and, later, executive secretary of the American Library Association (ALA) from 1920 to 1948. 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 2 251 251 2 251 251 2 251 251 2 251 251 2 251 1439 2 251 .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. This change in our basic method of handling information will provide powerful new tools for chemists and chemical engineers to meet their information needs. Our goal is a unified system that will produce both a full, printed record of chemical and chemical engineering knowledge and a variety of timely, special-subject alerting services, simultaneously providing a mechanized match and retrieval system that is sufficiently flexible to meet the varied needs of information users. The output will be supplied in whatever form best suits the user's needs - printed pages, microfilm, or computer-searchable tapes. Tapes and search programs will be usable on the customer's computer, or CAS will provide custom matches of its own computer files. .X 480 2 252 565 2 252 641 2 252 671 2 252 673 2 252 674 2 252 676 2 252 680 2 252 683 2 252 689 2 252 687 2 252 34 2 252 711 2 252 714 2 252 715 2 252 746 2 252 53 2 252 165 2 252 252 2 252 252 2 252 252 2 252 252 2 252 252 2 252 252 2 252 254 2 252 1452 2 252 347 2 252 347 2 252 .I 253 .T World's Chemical Literature Continues to Expand .A Baker, D.B. .W Abstracts of scientific papers from journals and other serial publications, which now make up about 85% of the abstracts in CA, increased at an average annual rate of 8.4% between 1961 and 1970, compared with 8.2% in the previous decade. 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 408 2 253 492 2 253 497 2 253 505 2 253 506 2 253 507 2 253 508 2 253 510 2 253 548 2 253 560 2 253 573 2 253 580 2 253 594 2 253 604 2 253 601 2 253 607 2 253 618 2 253 618 2 253 622 2 253 632 2 253 635 2 253 667 2 253 677 2 253 687 2 253 687 2 253 19 2 253 37 2 253 37 2 253 39 2 253 40 2 253 40 2 253 47 2 253 706 2 253 748 2 253 749 2 253 751 2 253 764 2 253 765 2 253 777 2 253 777 2 253 778 2 253 782 2 253 88 2 253 97 2 253 804 2 253 805 2 253 866 2 253 867 2 253 893 2 253 102 2 253 103 2 253 952 2 253 218 2 253 233 2 253 243 2 253 253 2 253 253 2 253 253 2 253 253 2 253 253 2 253 253 2 253 253 2 253 253 2 253 1016 2 253 1042 2 253 1061 2 253 1085 2 253 1086 2 253 1087 2 253 1087 2 253 1182 2 253 1200 2 253 1208 2 253 1274 2 253 1275 2 253 1277 2 253 1278 2 253 1280 2 253 1287 2 253 1301 2 253 1301 2 253 1301 2 253 1302 2 253 1302 2 253 1304 2 253 1313 2 253 1327 2 253 1338 2 253 1344 2 253 1347 2 253 1380 2 253 1380 2 253 1428 2 253 1444 2 253 1444 2 253 313 2 253 359 2 253 375 2 253 377 2 253 379 2 253 395 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 568 2 254 568 2 254 641 2 254 641 2 254 668 2 254 668 2 254 670 2 254 671 2 254 671 2 254 673 2 254 673 2 254 677 2 254 678 2 254 679 2 254 682 2 254 683 2 254 689 2 254 689 2 254 687 2 254 690 2 254 690 2 254 693 2 254 694 2 254 695 2 254 698 2 254 700 2 254 704 2 254 706 2 254 707 2 254 714 2 254 730 2 254 730 2 254 738 2 254 833 2 254 890 2 254 890 2 254 116 2 254 117 2 254 165 2 254 252 2 254 254 2 254 254 2 254 254 2 254 254 2 254 254 2 254 254 2 254 254 2 254 1026 2 254 1072 2 254 1092 2 254 1092 2 254 1292 2 254 1452 2 254 1452 2 254 327 2 254 327 2 254 327 2 254 347 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 591 2 255 592 2 255 32 2 255 716 2 255 716 2 255 735 2 255 792 2 255 952 2 255 953 2 255 255 2 255 255 2 255 255 2 255 255 2 255 255 2 255 255 2 255 1087 2 255 1089 2 255 1090 2 255 1260 2 255 1275 2 255 1276 2 255 1298 2 255 1302 2 255 1302 2 255 359 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 2 256 256 2 256 256 2 256 256 2 256 256 2 256 .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 429 2 257 476 2 257 478 2 257 489 2 257 493 2 257 498 2 257 501 2 257 516 2 257 582 2 257 583 2 257 653 2 257 655 2 257 688 2 257 715 2 257 796 2 257 797 2 257 797 2 257 798 2 257 798 2 257 801 2 257 802 2 257 838 2 257 838 2 257 154 2 257 159 2 257 160 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 257 2 257 260 2 257 1066 2 257 1230 2 257 1231 2 257 1255 2 257 1265 2 257 1393 2 257 1394 2 257 1394 2 257 1405 2 257 1429 2 257 1430 2 257 1448 2 257 .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 477 2 258 480 2 258 516 2 258 558 2 258 746 2 258 758 2 258 761 2 258 817 2 258 825 2 258 149 2 258 160 2 258 168 2 258 258 2 258 258 2 258 258 2 258 258 2 258 258 2 258 263 2 258 1066 2 258 1215 2 258 1230 2 258 1231 2 258 1259 2 258 1309 2 258 1391 2 258 1391 2 258 1405 2 258 1414 2 258 388 2 258 388 2 258 .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 434 2 259 445 2 259 449 2 259 476 2 259 477 2 259 542 2 259 758 2 259 874 2 259 259 2 259 259 2 259 259 2 259 259 2 259 259 2 259 259 2 259 1215 2 259 1231 2 259 1255 2 259 1259 2 259 1265 2 259 1391 2 259 1448 2 259 .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 476 2 260 797 2 260 801 2 260 154 2 260 159 2 260 989 2 260 257 2 260 260 2 260 260 2 260 260 2 260 260 2 260 260 2 260 260 2 260 1066 2 260 1231 2 260 1255 2 260 1268 2 260 1394 2 260 1429 2 260 1430 2 260 .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 458 2 261 476 2 261 477 2 261 478 2 261 479 2 261 480 2 261 484 2 261 485 2 261 566 2 261 608 2 261 610 2 261 617 2 261 620 2 261 680 2 261 29 2 261 704 2 261 781 2 261 68 2 261 69 2 261 90 2 261 815 2 261 175 2 261 938 2 261 939 2 261 991 2 261 992 2 261 231 2 261 261 2 261 261 2 261 261 2 261 261 2 261 261 2 261 295 2 261 299 2 261 1118 2 261 1175 2 261 1221 2 261 1318 2 261 1365 2 261 1390 2 261 334 2 261 346 2 261 354 2 261 354 2 261 382 2 261 .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 2 262 7 2 262 950 2 262 978 2 262 240 2 262 262 2 262 262 2 262 262 2 262 262 2 262 262 2 262 262 2 262 1028 2 262 1068 2 262 1203 2 262 1211 2 262 1211 2 262 1212 2 262 1212 2 262 1266 2 262 1266 2 262 1424 2 262 1425 2 262 353 2 262 365 2 262 .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.

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 2 264 264 2 264 264 2 264 264 2 264 264 2 264 264 2 264 337 2 264 351 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 799 2 265 919 2 265 920 2 265 922 2 265 246 2 265 246 2 265 265 2 265 265 2 265 265 2 265 265 2 265 265 2 265 1042 2 265 1266 2 265 1445 2 265 331 2 265 .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 408 2 266 550 2 266 14 2 266 31 2 266 46 2 266 153 2 266 170 2 266 170 2 266 925 2 266 964 2 266 964 2 266 976 2 266 206 2 266 206 2 266 207 2 266 207 2 266 208 2 266 208 2 266 223 2 266 245 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 266 2 266 271 2 266 271 2 266 275 2 266 277 2 266 277 2 266 282 2 266 282 2 266 288 2 266 290 2 266 1005 2 266 1019 2 266 1028 2 266 1086 2 266 1090 2 266 1400 2 266 1424 2 266 305 2 266 307 2 266 .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..

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 415 2 269 545 2 269 552 2 269 587 2 269 605 2 269 613 2 269 614 2 269 638 2 269 31 2 269 31 2 269 33 2 269 36 2 269 36 2 269 36 2 269 41 2 269 41 2 269 46 2 269 46 2 269 46 2 269 735 2 269 747 2 269 750 2 269 753 2 269 760 2 269 766 2 269 767 2 269 767 2 269 767 2 269 774 2 269 775 2 269 778 2 269 782 2 269 784 2 269 788 2 269 789 2 269 793 2 269 89 2 269 97 2 269 800 2 269 808 2 269 891 2 269 102 2 269 111 2 269 112 2 269 163 2 269 181 2 269 182 2 269 183 2 269 183 2 269 183 2 269 184 2 269 184 2 269 193 2 269 193 2 269 193 2 269 195 2 269 198 2 269 199 2 269 905 2 269 905 2 269 925 2 269 952 2 269 953 2 269 953 2 269 964 2 269 968 2 269 977 2 269 977 2 269 983 2 269 201 2 269 201 2 269 203 2 269 210 2 269 225 2 269 269 2 269 269 2 269 269 2 269 269 2 269 269 2 269 280 2 269 1009 2 269 1016 2 269 1018 2 269 1019 2 269 1019 2 269 1023 2 269 1030 2 269 1055 2 269 1087 2 269 1090 2 269 1135 2 269 1203 2 269 1240 2 269 1260 2 269 1275 2 269 1276 2 269 1278 2 269 1280 2 269 1285 2 269 1286 2 269 1287 2 269 1302 2 269 1335 2 269 1352 2 269 1359 2 269 1390 2 269 1397 2 269 1397 2 269 1416 2 269 1416 2 269 1417 2 269 1417 2 269 1417 2 269 1428 2 269 1432 2 269 1451 2 269 373 2 269 395 2 269 .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.. Other special interests such as informal power-holders and the subprofessional are identified.. This analysis shows that existing organizational relationships in libraries let "means" become "ends".. Strong forces toward conformity hamper desirable growth and change.. A restructuring of libraries is proposed along the lines of professional rather than semiprofessional organizations..

Courses described in the college catalog are matched with the books listed in the American Book Publishing Record, BPR, Cumulative 1965.. 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.. Results are sound estimates of each department's probable current domestic book needs for that year and may be applied to the subsequent year as an estimate of what will probably be needed..

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.. The contributions of the professional associations and of library schools to the advancement of the process of professionalization is also analyzed..

Some view the library as "a bottomless pit"; all recognize that the library is unlikely to generate much political pressure for its own aggrandizement..

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 975 2 275 266 2 275 271 2 275 271 2 275 275 2 275 275 2 275 275 2 275 275 2 275 275 2 275 277 2 275 277 2 275 282 2 275 282 2 275 305 2 275 305 2 275 307 2 275 .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..

In this paper a separation of the title catalog at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee library is described and evaluated.. .X 655 2 276 655 2 276 783 2 276 783 2 276 132 2 276 928 2 276 963 2 276 973 2 276 973 2 276 209 2 276 209 2 276 274 2 276 276 2 276 276 2 276 276 2 276 276 2 276 276 2 276 276 2 276 1445 2 276 326 2 276 .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 408 2 277 486 2 277 591 2 277 720 2 277 748 2 277 785 2 277 786 2 277 787 2 277 788 2 277 789 2 277 791 2 277 71 2 277 72 2 277 74 2 277 75 2 277 77 2 277 78 2 277 79 2 277 73 2 277 81 2 277 82 2 277 83 2 277 86 2 277 153 2 277 156 2 277 925 2 277 925 2 277 943 2 277 964 2 277 975 2 277 976 2 277 984 2 277 206 2 277 207 2 277 208 2 277 211 2 277 212 2 277 245 2 277 245 2 277 266 2 277 266 2 277 271 2 277 275 2 277 275 2 277 277 2 277 277 2 277 277 2 277 277 2 277 277 2 277 277 2 277 277 2 277 279 2 277 280 2 277 282 2 277 282 2 277 282 2 277 282 2 277 290 2 277 1005 2 277 1400 2 277 305 2 277 305 2 277 .I 278 .T Random Sampling: a Tool for Library Research .A Drott, M. Carl .W Questions about the accuracy of library records, the behavior or attitudes of patrons, or the conditions of the books in the collection can often be answered by a random sampling study.. 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..

They urge that librarians study and classify courses therein, such as books, using the Library of Congress or Dewey Decimal schemes so that specific class number are grouped by academic department and become substantial spans.. The profile can be used as a selection tool, as a correlating tool between curriculum, circulation and publishing, and as a device to aid weeding and shelving..

There has perhaps been a super-abundance of attention devoted, for example, to the inadequate treatment of librarians within the university community as a whole, but little discussion has thus far appeared in print concerning their treatment within the library itself. This paper will attempt to define certain progressive changes that it is possible and probably desirable for the library to implement internally regardless of the university's willingness to consider improving the librarian's lot in the larger community. .X 418 2 285 925 2 285 270 2 285 270 2 285 285 2 285 285 2 285 285 2 285 285 2 285 285 2 285 285 2 285 285 2 285 285 2 285 289 2 285 296 2 285 1015 2 285 1015 2 285 1015 2 285 1015 2 285 1065 2 285 1069 2 285 1070 2 285 1150 2 285 1214 2 285 1233 2 285 1454 2 285 1454 2 285 301 2 285 301 2 285 301 2 285 302 2 285 .I 286 .T User's Reaction to Microfiche A Preliminary Study .A Lewis, Ralph W. .W Recent emphasis placed on the use of microfiche by large government agencies has increased the pressure in libraries supporting government research to make greater use of microfiche..

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 46 2 290 925 2 290 925 2 290 943 2 290 981 2 290 266 2 290 277 2 290 280 2 290 282 2 290 282 2 290 284 2 290 290 2 290 290 2 290 290 2 290 290 2 290 290 2 290 290 2 290 290 2 290 290 2 290 1019 2 290 1023 2 290 1203 2 290 1203 2 290 1416 2 290 .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 408 2 291 459 2 291 548 2 291 575 2 291 591 2 291 594 2 291 597 2 291 598 2 291 599 2 291 601 2 291 621 2 291 630 2 291 692 2 291 836 2 291 863 2 291 864 2 291 865 2 291 865 2 291 866 2 291 868 2 291 897 2 291 120 2 291 128 2 291 135 2 291 178 2 291 915 2 291 916 2 291 925 2 291 925 2 291 925 2 291 936 2 291 945 2 291 957 2 291 959 2 291 960 2 291 960 2 291 961 2 291 961 2 291 962 2 291 972 2 291 982 2 291 984 2 291 235 2 291 244 2 291 245 2 291 245 2 291 249 2 291 288 2 291 289 2 291 291 2 291 291 2 291 291 2 291 291 2 291 291 2 291 291 2 291 292 2 291 1007 2 291 1052 2 291 1248 2 291 1317 2 291 1353 2 291 1358 2 291 1400 2 291 1400 2 291 1401 2 291 1401 2 291 1402 2 291 .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 2 293 418 2 293 768 2 293 774 2 293 823 2 293 842 2 293 843 2 293 844 2 293 172 2 293 283 2 293 293 2 293 293 2 293 293 2 293 293 2 293 293 2 293 293 2 293 296 2 293 298 2 293 298 2 293 1007 2 293 1015 2 293 1041 2 293 1069 2 293 1070 2 293 1150 2 293 1214 2 293 1268 2 293 304 2 293 .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..

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 2 308 105 2 308 107 2 308 1217 2 308 1331 2 308 1340 2 308 1340 2 308 1348 2 308 1387 2 308 1387 2 308 308 2 308 308 2 308 308 2 308 308 2 308 308 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..

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..

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 409 2 310 422 2 310 454 2 310 455 2 310 458 2 310 462 2 310 479 2 310 483 2 310 485 2 310 564 2 310 604 2 310 661 2 310 662 2 310 663 2 310 45 2 310 737 2 310 745 2 310 769 2 310 62 2 310 853 2 310 875 2 310 883 2 310 174 2 310 175 2 310 1274 2 310 1327 2 310 1419 2 310 1419 2 310 1427 2 310 310 2 310 310 2 310 310 2 310 310 2 310 310 2 310 310 2 310 310 2 310 310 2 310 318 2 310 318 2 310 318 2 310 318 2 310 363 2 310 .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 456 2 311 842 2 311 131 2 311 163 2 311 1232 2 311 1236 2 311 1400 2 311 311 2 311 311 2 311 311 2 311 311 2 311 311 2 311 .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 436 2 312 436 2 312 437 2 312 456 2 312 459 2 312 475 2 312 544 2 312 560 2 312 594 2 312 602 2 312 728 2 312 89 2 312 95 2 312 102 2 312 105 2 312 113 2 312 191 2 312 1030 2 312 1036 2 312 1041 2 312 1045 2 312 1050 2 312 1154 2 312 1187 2 312 1284 2 312 1291 2 312 1296 2 312 1300 2 312 1303 2 312 1333 2 312 1346 2 312 1386 2 312 1406 2 312 312 2 312 312 2 312 312 2 312 312 2 312 312 2 312 312 2 312 356 2 312 356 2 312 356 2 312 .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..

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 544 2 314 545 2 314 560 2 314 573 2 314 582 2 314 587 2 314 605 2 314 656 2 314 685 2 314 33 2 314 48 2 314 748 2 314 750 2 314 767 2 314 767 2 314 775 2 314 778 2 314 787 2 314 791 2 314 793 2 314 794 2 314 89 2 314 800 2 314 800 2 314 808 2 314 100 2 314 102 2 314 102 2 314 105 2 314 106 2 314 106 2 314 106 2 314 108 2 314 110 2 314 113 2 314 113 2 314 155 2 314 157 2 314 1030 2 314 1050 2 314 1062 2 314 1256 2 314 1273 2 314 1274 2 314 1284 2 314 1285 2 314 1285 2 314 1285 2 314 1285 2 314 1290 2 314 1291 2 314 1293 2 314 1294 2 314 1295 2 314 1296 2 314 1297 2 314 1312 2 314 1313 2 314 1319 2 314 1337 2 314 1338 2 314 1346 2 314 1352 2 314 1386 2 314 1386 2 314 314 2 314 314 2 314 314 2 314 314 2 314 314 2 314 314 2 314 314 2 314 356 2 314 359 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..

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 444 2 319 474 2 319 487 2 319 509 2 319 519 2 319 565 2 319 625 2 319 660 2 319 660 2 319 714 2 319 54 2 319 54 2 319 780 2 319 780 2 319 785 2 319 785 2 319 70 2 319 72 2 319 73 2 319 73 2 319 810 2 319 810 2 319 150 2 319 1279 2 319 1282 2 319 1307 2 319 1427 2 319 319 2 319 319 2 319 319 2 319 319 2 319 319 2 319 390 2 319 .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 458 2 320 459 2 320 488 2 320 489 2 320 493 2 320 499 2 320 498 2 320 526 2 320 546 2 320 558 2 320 570 2 320 572 2 320 579 2 320 581 2 320 590 2 320 606 2 320 626 2 320 659 2 320 664 2 320 754 2 320 790 2 320 61 2 320 77 2 320 79 2 320 814 2 320 826 2 320 117 2 320 168 2 320 168 2 320 175 2 320 274 2 320 1035 2 320 1046 2 320 1046 2 320 1118 2 320 1294 2 320 1399 2 320 1427 2 320 1443 2 320 1443 2 320 1443 2 320 317 2 320 317 2 320 320 2 320 320 2 320 320 2 320 320 2 320 320 2 320 320 2 320 .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. .X 416 2 321 416 2 321 419 2 321 442 2 321 442 2 321 450 2 321 450 2 321 459 2 321 495 2 321 511 2 321 511 2 321 521 2 321 524 2 321 524 2 321 562 2 321 563 2 321 565 2 321 567 2 321 643 2 321 660 2 321 19 2 321 19 2 321 700 2 321 835 2 321 835 2 321 851 2 321 851 2 321 862 2 321 862 2 321 867 2 321 875 2 321 228 2 321 228 2 321 228 2 321 229 2 321 1194 2 321 1194 2 321 1199 2 321 1199 2 321 1199 2 321 1218 2 321 1327 2 321 1427 2 321 318 2 321 321 2 321 321 2 321 321 2 321 321 2 321 321 2 321 321 2 321 324 2 321 329 2 321 329 2 321 .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. In former years, these institutions were commonly called junior colleges, and the college departments or divisions that assembled, organized, and interpreted the learning resources (mainly books) were commonly called libraries. In keeping with traditional terminology I could have chosen "The Junior College Library" as the title for the study; however, I decided to modify the title to make it correspond more closely to prevailing current terminology. .X 240 2 322 322 2 322 322 2 322 322 2 322 322 2 322 322 2 322 .I 323 .T Comparative and International Librarianship; essays on themes and problems .A Jackson, M.M. .W In this decade, professionals in the field of librarianship and the information sciences will continue to be faced with most of the problems that have haunted libraries for generations, problems that can be best summed up as the attempt to reduce the anonymity of information. 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 2 323 407 2 323 323 2 323 323 2 323 323 2 323 323 2 323 323 2 323 .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.
