Describes an electronic OCLC error reporting (OER) program developed at the Albert B. Alkek Library, Southwest Texas State University, in response to the OCLC announcement that OCLC users could begin submitting bibliographic record change requests and duplicate record reports via Internet e‐mail. OER is a menu‐driven program written in VAX VMS which facilitates sending OCLC error reports by providing blank error‐report forms for various error‐reporting activities. This is accomplished by adding constant and system‐supplied information to the forms and then automatically sending the forms, while giving ample opportunities to review the accuracy of the outgoing report. Doing so provides more uniformity and accuracy in the reporting process and saves money and staff time. Suggests that, although the program is written for the SWT library, it may easily be modified and used by other compatible institutions.
描述了一个由西南德克萨斯州立大学Albert B. Alkek图书馆开发的电子OCLC错误报告(OER)程序，以响应OCLC宣布OCLC用户可以开始通过互联网电子邮件提交书目记录更改请求和副本记录报告。OER是一个用VAX VMS编写的菜单驱动程序，它通过为各种错误报告活动提供空白的错误报告表格来方便发送OCLC错误报告。这是通过在表单中添加常量和系统提供的信息，然后自动发送表单来实现的，同时提供充分的机会来审查输出报告的准确性。这样做可以使报告过程更加统一和准确，并节省资金和工作人员的时间。这表明，虽然程序是为SWT库编写的，但它可以很容易地被其他兼容机构修改和使用。

The Borrowing Update System (BUS) is a Windows‐based interlibrary loan package designed to facilitate common tasks related to record management and reporting. As a follow‐up to the initial article (which introduced the BUS), discusses the technical aspects with a look toward expansion issues.

The fundamental structural change caused by information technologies not only affects the technical services of libraries but also shapes the library services that are being offered to the public. Libraries are possibly faced with a much more dangerous kind of competition than the one customary among direct competitors: the substitution competition caused by new information technologies. A first step for supporting the necessary strategic planning and decision‐making management is to collect information concerning assumptions, trends and structures of these technologies. In this context, it is a matter of reducing complexity in recognizing risks and trends in order to support the development of measures in terms of preliminary navigation. Based on structured expert interviews conducted in leading US libraries in the summer of 1991, the first level of the study is the sectors: general management, technologies, library services, value chain and resources. The internal pattern of the sectors consisted of con...

Describes how the library and biology disciplines of St Norbert College, Wisconsin, implemented First‐Search training of the BasicBiosis file for upper‐divisional biology students. Explains how the investment in FirstSearch affected payment on the paper Biological Abstracts and how the library and biology disciplines networked “like never before” to come to this agreement. The deal was made in Fall 1994.

The current resurgence of cooperative cataloging initiatives requires that the Online Union Catalog (OLUC) search keys evolve to allow more precise searching. OCLC has made great strides recently in ways to search the OLUC (the scan title search being a tremendous improvement). Two recent events, combined with the cooperative cataloging activities, prompt this call for accelerated change in OLUC search mechanisms. Phrase searching, until now not available (the scan search is only partially there), must be brought into existence soon to support and promote the renewed emphasis on cooperative efforts. In doing so, we will all benefit. OCLC will get a more dynamic, cleaner database to market and, increasingly, to repackage and sell. Catalog departments worldwide will have a better source database and have an easier time making greater contributions in cooperative programs. As for the derived search keys, they don′t really need to die – withering from disuse would be fine.

During the 1960s the academic and large public libraries engaged in massive reclassification of their collections from Dewey Decimal to the Library of Congress Classification System. A search of the library literature of this decade indicates much publication activity on the topic of reclassification. While losing some momentum in the “trend to LC” during 1968‐1971 many libraries continued to reclassify into the 1970s.

In early 1993 Binghamton University Libraries began discussing methods to supplement our collection of electronic journal indexes available on mainframe tapes or CD‐ROM. FirstSearch files were chosen because of the selection available, the advantages of remote storage over local data storage and maintenance, and the ease with which we could provide access through our newly‐developed public Internet interface. This article summarizes our access to electronic indexes, present statistical data on FirstSearch usage for the 1993/94 academic year, and provides possible explanations for the resulting searching activity patterns. Such information may be helpful to other libraries as they implement FirstSearch access.
