Use Of Landsat Digital Data To Assist In Mapping Soils On Arizona Rangelands, Emil H. Horvath, Donald F. Post, Walter M. Lucas, Richard A. Weismiller

LARS Symposia

The outline and results of more than three years of field and laboratory studies are presented. The work was done in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Forest Service. Spectral maps generated from Landsat satellite data were used to aid in soil and vegetation surveys of five sites in southeastern Arizona. The sites are rangeland with varied physiography and relief, but generally sparse vegetation. It was found that spectral maps show a very positive correlation with grey tones or color patterns on photographs, and can be an excellent auxiliary tool for locating boundaries …

Automatic Processing Of Computer Compatible Tapes With Data From Multispectral Scanners Installed In Landsat Satellites, Norberto Scquizzato

LARS Symposia

STAI is the Spanish acronym for the digital data analysis system for information processing from Multispectral sensors of LANDSAT satellites, or, from the Multispectral Multiband Scanner System (Sistema Multiespectral para Obtencion de Informacion - SAMPOI) which the National Commission on Space Research (Argentine Republic) has installed at the Vicente Lopez Teleobservation Center (Centro de Teleobservacidn Vicente Lopez).

The STAI can be included among the digital processing systems called as interactive, having a great input and output diversification, but also having pre-processing capacity since it can convert HDDT, High Density Digital Tapes, from the SAMPOI Scanner into CCT, Computer Compatible Tapes.

Teaching Library Co-Operation To Library Students, Ben Rugaas

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper discusses the need for cooperation between libraries, and the forms this may take with examples of both formal and informal cooperation. The author conc1udes that the profession of library and information science is in a state of change and that the library schools must try to train librarians for the future situation. With regard to library cooperation, any library school will have problems in teaching and motivating students for something that does not seem to exist in the real world of libraries. When it comes to promoting library cooperation, through education, there are problems on both the cognitive …

The Swedish Libris System, Lennart Gardvall

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The ADP-system LIBRIS-II is described with emphasis on its network structure. The connection of 10 libraries within the organization under the National Swedish Board of Universities and Colleges (UHÄ) and four other libraries is outlined. The coverage of acquired literature in the connected llbrarles is discussed, as well as the extension of the coverage which is achieved by a decentralized reporting of accessions in a large number of other Swedish research and special libraries to the Royal Library which submits centralized input to the system. Three possible models are presented how to offer access for searches to LIBRIS outside the …

Cooperation Of Hungarian Technological University Libraries On The Field Of Scientific Information Services And The Special Features Of The Veszprém University Library's Activity, Zoltan Kováts

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Cooperation between Hungarian TU libraries has been established long ago. The services rendered, however, do not include all kinds of library activities, nor compensate each other. In order to stabilize long range cooperations, uncompensated services must be paid on a price, which assures not only reimbursement of all direct costs, but allows some premium to the librarians concerned. The Veszprém University Library supplies information services also to an extended group of various users, not only other Hungarian TU libraries. The service oriented organization, which does not include the conventional documentation and publishing activities is a special feature of the Veszprém …

Co-Operation In The Provision Of Services To Readers In Conurbations, A. C. Bubb

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Co-operation should lead to greater reader satisfaction.

Large urban areas may have more than one university and other institutions of higher education, each possessing its own library, along with public and special libraries, all lying within a fairly small geographical area.

To students and research workers ease of access to a variety of libraries in the area seems attractive and the relative usefulness of their services important.

Undergraduates should naturally expect to have most of their needs satisfied in their own institution, but graduate students and staff may often expect to use other libraries in the neighbourhood.

It is the …

Cooperation Amongst The Science Libraries At Oxford University, Dennis Shaw

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In a historical introduction which traces the development of the Radcliffe Library alongside the Bodleian Library at Oxford it is shown how it took nearly two hundred years to establish a role for the Radcliffe as a science library. During this period, some of the science departments in the University of Oxford set up specialist libraries and from these beginnings has grown a very strong body of science departmental libraries. In spite of the richness and breadth of the literature collection in the University library nearly half of the scientific library resources in the University are devoted to supporting the …

Library Cooperation: Trends, Possibilities And Conditions, James E. Skipper

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Arguments supporting library cooperation are compelling in their logic and economic implications, yet a review of the history of cooperative efforts suggests the existence of strong opposing forces whlch, in many instances, have frustrated planning and implementation.

Successful programmes for the cooperative development of library collections must be related to ancillary efforts to improve access to materials and to afford better bibliographic control.
