Progress Of The Blend-Linc 'Electronic Journal' Project, B. Shackel

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper describes the progress after 3 years of a 4 year experimenial programme organised jointly by two Universities as the Birmingham and Loughborough Electronic Network Development (BLEND). The aims of the programme are to explore and evaluate alternative forms of user communication through an 'electronic journal' and information network and to assess the cost, efficiency and subjective impact of such a system. Several communities of users are being studied, and the progress of the project is described during the development of various types of 'electronic journal' with a community of initially about 50 scientists (the Loughborough Information Network Community …

The Implications For Publishing Of Electronic Document Storage And Delivery, Maurice B. Line

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The electronic storage and delivery of serial articles will affect not only libraries and their users but publishers, whose main market is libraries. In particular, the ability of libraries to acquire individual articles rather than whole serials could destroy the viability of conventional published serials and result in the use of market rather than quality criteria in deciding which articles to accept for 'publication': the system would become user-driven rather than author-driven. The large investment required for electronic publishing might lead to the take-over of traditional publishers by large corporations whose interests were purely commercial. Data-bases handling the electronic texts …

The Changing Role Of Secondary Information Services, Stella Keenan

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Secondary serial publications (abstracting and indexing services) are, by their nature, closely linked to the primary journal literature. They are affected by the publication pattern and processes of the primary serials, and developments in technology and communication facilities. In the 1960s and 1970s it was generally agreed that secondary services could be divided into disciplines oriented services and mission or project oriented services. This long established division is currently changing as secondary services have become increasingly flexible and more concerned than ever with user requirements.

Technological developments and the continuing economic constraints are exerting pressure on the abstracting and indexing …

Selective Article Delivery, G. A. Somerfield

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Online searching of databases is rapidly changing traditional methods of information retrieval by making it easier to identify relevant single articles. The databases cover a wider range of journals than is of ten available in the local library, which is simultaneously tending to reduce its coverage in response to severe budget pressures. Consequently, many single documents are provided as photocopies through the network of major lending libraries since few publishers supply single articles other than reprints at the time the journal is published.

Virtually all of this document delivery relies heavily upon physical transport of a document from one place …

Serials Education Or How To Nail Jelly To The Wall, David P. Woodworth

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The continuing and growing importance attached to serials in the broadest sense, both as an archival souree and an information disseminating agency, requires a complete understanding of the various, and many, ramifications involved in writing, producing, documenting, disseminating, storing, and disposing of the information concerned. The current economic situation has prompted an even closer scrutiny and evaluation of methods involved, and the importance, of this form of literature.

The appreciation of serials varies considerably in practice from librarian to librarian and, more importantly, from library school to library school. Acknowledging this fact the Department of Library and Information Studies at …

Serials And "Grey Literature", Dieter Schmidmaier

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

"Grey literature" is literature which is not directly accessible. Its procurement, exploitation, storage and incorporation in information systems can only be carried out under complicated conditions.

Journals in the sense of "Grey literature" are:

1. (Scientific) journals published by universities, academies and research institutes, as well as periodic publications about the results of research issued by firms engaged in such work.
2. Journals and newspapers published by parties, organisations, associations, cooperatives, companies, libraries and museums.
3. Journals which do not contain original scientific contributions, as well as those issued by book clubs and other organisations which publish technical literature and also belles-lettres.

Serials Cuts (And The Use Of A Blunt Knife), Hazel M. Woodward, A. J. Evans

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

There must be few librarians that have not had to make cuts in serials budgets in recent years - if not for lack of direct financial resources then at least due to the change in the dollar rate. Can we carry out such cuts 'scientifically' or is it usually a case of educated guesswork perhaps backed up by departmental recommendations ? Can we rely on faculty members' expressed needs or should we resort to hiding the journal until (or indeed if ever) he screams for it? Do our academics in any case ever view their own subscriptions and recommendations critically? …

Online Serials Control At The Eth Library, Rudolph Nöethiger

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Since 1975 the ETH Library uses an automated periodicals control system called PEKOS (PEriodica-KOntroll-System). Version I, which could not yet handle title updates online, was soon replaced by the enhanced version of PEKOS-2.

A completely revised version, called PEKOS-3 was developed and implemented in the course of 1982. Some main functions of PEKOS are:

• A fast method of identification for incoming copies using a simple mechanism for the abbreviation of titles
• each single incoming issue is recorded
• all recorded information on holdings can be queried and retrieved
• reminders are issued periodically (a list of all claims issued is printed weekly …

Serials Handling In Essen University Library, A. H. Helal

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

It is so much published about serials automation that it is very difficult for librarians to give an up-to-date information and to cover the immense amount of information about the mysteries of serials automation. However, the routines in a manual series department have proved to be similar in all libraries and are equal to all new developments. Only on this base and with deep knowledge of serials procedures it is possible to develop new techniques, i.e. automated procedures that could be feasible and considered. Serials automation is no more a puzzle as documented by this IATUL meeting. A very wide …

A Survey Of Iatul For Serials Automation - Future Prospects, Dennis Shaw, Niel Sly

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Developments in serials automation since the first batch-produced catalogues are briefly surveyed. The reason for early failures are identified and it is shown how the elimination of the problems encountered has been possible through inter-library cooperation together with enhancements in computer systems reliability. It is apparent that many university libraries in North America now have successful serials automation systems in operation.

In order to assess the situation in Europe and the rest of the world a questionnaire was sent to all IATUL members in February 1983 and it elicited a 53% response. The results are tabulated to show the range …

Several Experimental Trials At The Kanazawa Institute Of Technology Library Center Using Its Online System, K. Kadota

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Kanazawa Institute of Technology Library Center (KIT-LC) was established in June 1982 with the aim to collect one million books and ten million informations such as theses, essays etc. For the construction and realization of the LC keen attentions were paid and numerous attempts were made to establish an ideal technological special library in Japan. In other words the KIT-LC is in fact an experimentation in Japan as exemplified in the following seven points:

(1) KIT-LC basically has four functions, namely the educational center and the research center, which are self-evident at any university libraries, the center for the graduate …

Resource Sharing: The Pesent Situation And The Likely Effect Of Electronic Technology, Maurice B. Line

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The increasing attention given to resource sharing as a concept is not matched by practical progress; shortage of funds makes it more desirable but less practicable, whether libraries try to share their own resources or share a central facility. Many of the obstacles to sharing, such as limited local resources and the inability to handle much external demand, are intrinsic and cannot be solved by technology, but it can nevertheless alleviate some of the procedural hindrances, such as union list construction, maintenance and access and the transmission and switching of requests. The application of electronic technology to document transmission is …
