A large number of Library of Congress cards are used to illustrate most of the "Anglo-American Cataloging Rules" (AACR). The rules are arranged in the same order as found in the AACR and are stated briefly along with one or more Library of Congress cards which illustrate that rule. Some rules are not illustrated because it is unlikely…

Project BALLOTS is a large-scale library automation development project of the Stanford University Libraries which has demonstrated the feasibility of conducting on-line interactive searches of complex bibliographic files, with a large number of users working simultaneously in the same or different files. This report documents the continuing…

These proceedings are the fourth in the series of international conferences whose general aim is to provide a broad forum for critically exploring and analyzing library and information science as a discipline and as a field of research from historical, theoretical, philosophical, and empirical perspectives. The papers in this volume cover a wide…

Nineteen documents on various aspects of information science are included in this introductory book of readings. The documents were selected because they are relatively easy to read for beginning students and are likely to be useful for a number of years. The documents cover the literature from 1958 to 1970. They are: (1) Information Science: What…

Explains an interdisciplinary framework for library information science, especially information retrieval, which considers sociocultural context of search terms in a way that the cognitivist information processing paradigm does not. Limitations of cognitivist information processing conceptions are discussed, as well as the possible effects of the…

The ERIC and LISA (Library and Information Science Abstracts) databases are compared through a literature review and the analysis of an online search on a topic in librarianship. ERIC emphasizes education and includes serials, monographs, collections, and research reports for their coverage of some aspect of education. LISA is dedicated to topics…

Study, research, and development were undertaken in the first 18 months of a program (Phase I) to design and implement an Information Processing Laboratory for teaching and research in the field of librarianship. Work during this period was concerned with the planning of the Laboratory and its development according to plan. The planning resulted…

This book provides an introduction to automated information services: collection, analysis, classification, storage, retrieval, transmission, and dissemination. An introductory chapter is followed by an overview of mechanized processes for acquisitions, cataloging, and circulation. Automatic indexing and abstracting methods are covered, followed…

The use of computer technology for the storage and rapid retrieval of information about instructional media requires the development of nationally accepted guidelines or standards for catalog information and computer input. The Department of Audiovisual Instruction (DAVI) organized a task force to develop standards for cataloging educational media…

In 1965 the Syracuse University School of Library Science held a symposium to explore the nature of the relationship between the structure and transmission of knowledge, on the one hand, and the array of bibliographic devices which have been developed to facilitate access to that knowledge, on the other. Papers presented discussed the need for a…
