Systems Versus Users: An Analysis Of The Art And/Or Science Of Search Negotiations, Kathleen T. Bivins

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper discusses the nature of information retrieval, its particular problems, and information retrieval systems in general. Traditional efforts in search analysis and question negotiation are presented, along with a sample of the numerous techniques of automated search manipulation. The newer methods involving the cognitive approach are discussed, and conclusions are drawn regarding the status of the situation and the possible future.

Dilemmas Of Document Communication, Axel Andersen

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The information explosion of the last century has had profound effects upon the entire society: The number of publications has increased enormously, and important consequences have been the development of bibliographic tools, of libraries and an improved cooperation between libraries. Computer technology has made a storage of bibliographic information in big, international data bases possible, and complex networks are now being established. As bibliographies and catalogues in their paper-ver si ons thus are disappearing, other sorts of literature are going to be replaced by on-line accessible data bases, and telephone directories, sales catalogues etc. are soon to disappear in their …

Communication Skills: The Role Of The Library School, B. Meakin

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

It is becoming increasingly necessary for the librarian to be an active communicator. We can no longer be content to assume and perpetuate the passive role which history and our own public image have assigned to us. The librarian needs to project his personality to create the optimum circumstances for transmitting and disseminating information.

Given that this is the case, a co-ordinated and intensive effort is needed to produce and train librarians capable of communicating easily and effectively with subordinates, peers, superiors and most important the community. It is suggested that such an effort could best be instigated in the …

Public Relations Of Scientific Libraries In The Federal Republic Of Germany, Y. A. Haase

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Up until now, scientific libraries in the Federal Republic of Germany have been very reserved about public relations. One of the reasons for this attitude has been insecurity about the application of the specific methods used in public relations. For this reason the Deutsches Bibliotheksinstitut (West Berlin) organized a project in 1978 that is meant to create the methodological preconditions for public relations in scientific libraries. The methods are to be tried out first in a model of local public relations at one library. The Hessische Landes- und Hochschulbibliothek (Hessian State and University Library) in Darmstadt has been chosen to …

Ifla's Role In Aiding Communication Between Libraries, Else Granheim

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

A major distinction must be made between communication/cooperation on the national or regional level and that on the international level. There are ot her barriers to be confronted and they are mainly of a technical, economie/poli tieal and cultural character.

The paper is restricted to IFLA's role in aiding international library communication.

IFLA's UBC programme must be said to constitute an important factor to remove technical barriers and four major thrusts can be mentioned: ISBD's standardization of forms of headings, the standardization of machine-readable bibliographie records and the improvement of national bibliographies.

Standardized communication formates have increased the awareness of …

User Studies In Connection With The Development Of A Decentralized Library Network, Nancy Fjallbrant, Olof Friberg

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper examines the development of university departmental libraries in Scandinavia, and traces the influence of the German seminar libraries. This has led to the establishment of a number of library networks. Financial restraints have resulted in a number of studies of departmental library networks, with a view to possible rationalization. This paper describes studies of the attitudes of library users, at Chalmers University, towards computerization of literature resources and cooperation between the main library and the departmental libraries. It was shown that users were apprehensive of centralization and negative to any increase in administrative processes. At the same time …

The Technological University Library's Communication With Its Public, A. C. Bubb

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

University libraries are channels of communication which must themselves communicate with their publics, of which the most important are members of the institution and people outside it who draw upon its resources.

Dislike of the commercial overtones of the promotion of services need not inhibit communication between the library and its public.

The technological university library is favourably placed to develop communication in the broadest sense.

Communication should go beyond the accepted techniques of instruction and user education to inculcate more generally applicable attitudes, needed as the bulk of information renders the preservation of human values more important.

Information Services - An Overlooked Component In The Third World Decision Making Process - Experiences From Unesco Missions, Björn V. Tell

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The growth of the so called knowledge industries in the industrialized countries is a trend that has no visible traits in the Third World. The insight about the role of knowledge and information as important components in policy making has not come to surface. Also other components for the decision making process, such as skilled manpower , equipment, energy and dynamism may be lacking. However, together these components form a complex that can help to improve the quality of the decision making process.

Few of the less developed countries - the LDCs - realize that knowledge and information could transpire …

Communication And A National Information Policy, P. Havard-Williams

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Britain has been considering the importance of a coordinating library and information programme, and initiatives have taken place in the House of Commons, the Cabinet Office, the Library Advisory Council and in the professional associations. The complexity of the issue and lts solution make it very relevant to the problems of communication. First, problems of information and communication need to be simplified in order for their importance to be appreciated first by the politicians, the industrial policy makers and the population at large. Secondly, the professionals involved come from a variety of backgrounds and need to understand each other's problems. …

Communicating Scientific Information Through A University Library Network, Dennis Shaw

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Besides the widely accepted connotation of primary and secondary sources of scientific information it is postulated that a tertiary source may be identified. These three categories are defined and their role is related to (i) the pursuit of fundamental research at the frontier of knowiedge, (ii) the assimilation of the established discoveries into the traditional body of scientific literature and (iii) archiving for posterity.

It is no longer possible completely to separate these categories nor to identify distinct media responsible for information transfer and storage. However, we can identify a hierarchy of media and each element within the hierarchy can …
