Abstract

The national library service SBN originated 12 years ago and now comprises 450 libraries in a joint computerised network, with some 2.500.000 entries in the joint catalogue. The Ministry of Culture, universities, local administration, and research and cultural instituions are all equal but independent partners, though as a publicly funded initiative the network is hamoered by bureaucracy. Current developments include retroconversion and the creation of specialist databases of manuscripts, grey literature and sound materials. At present the cataloguing function is successful, but interlibrary loan remains unsatisfactory

Abstract

Catalogues date back to the libraries of Babylon and Alexandria, and in the Middle Ages groups of colleges and monasteries created joint catalogues. The dream of universal bibliographic control based on a centralised joint catalogue advanced when the US Library of Congress began selling bibliographic records in 1901. This led to MARC in 1969, and increasing emphasis on standardisation resulted in the first ISBN in 1974

Abstract

Since the 1950s the Library of the Université Laval in Quebec has devoted a great deal of effort to its subject headings list, the Répertoire de vedettes-matière (RVM), an adaptation of LCSH. Sources from specialised thesauri such as MeSH and Art and Architecture (AAT) supplement the headings. Provides a brief historical overview of the RVM and describes the methodology for integrating AAT descriptions into RVM

Abstract

The National Library of France (BNF) database, BN-OPALINE, initially developed for computerising the specialised departments' catalogues, has functioned since 1996 as the database for all BNF documents. Accessible on the Internet, notices are in INTERMARC format, with over 500.000 references covering specialised documents, microforms and documents acquired by partner libraries. Eventually BNF-OPALINE will be integrated into the future BNF multimedia information system and form part of the French joint catalogue

Abstract

To facilitate exchange, holdings data needs to be integrated into the main bibliographic record sequence in local collections. Recent recommendations for French libraries propose using designated fields within UNIMARC, to meet the needs respectively of departmental lending libraries and joint catalogues. Further provisions for holdings data is being considered at international level

Abstract

Since Sep 1996 a group with representatives from the French National Library (BNF), French Joint Catalogue (CCF), Directorate of Scientific and Technical Information (DISTNB), Directorate of Reading (DL) and the Higher Education Bibliography Agency (ABES) has been working on establishing a format for exchanging local data which will accomodtae the needs of all users; conform to international standards and take account of new technological tools (Z39.50-1995). Using pre-existing formats with UNIMARC as the basis, the new format will allow selection of documents by different location criteria, establish conditions of communication and manage interlibrary loan. To date fields have been defined for data on location and management of copies, and for descriptive data on copies

Abstract

To access a remote catalogue the searcher can use the Z39.50 standard as interface, which requires appropriate software; or for databases accessible on the WWW use a common gateway interface. The multibase access advantage of Z39.50 can also be obtained through a Web navigator by inserting a Web server/Z39.50 client software connector: this can be located either on the search site, in an intermediary position or on the database site, so determining the range of databases which can be searched. Z39.50 also offers interesting possibilities for joint and local cataloguing: multibase searching can equally be realised on intranets

Abstract

The National School of Fine Arts houses collections of prints, manuscripts, photographs, drawings, paintings, sculpture, architectural designs and printed texts: in all some 200.000 works. The computerised joint catalogue project begun in 1992 already comprises 42.000 records and 4.000 images captured from the original indexes and catalogues. The software used, Micromusee, was developed specifically for special collections: MARC compatible, it offers both controlled and natural language searching, and is very simple to use

(pp. 267-277). In chapter 5 (pp. 75-89), Levie discusses Otlet's interest in urbanism (also see, p. 147 ff) and recounts how in Westende he built from scratch a complete coastal village, a kind of miniutopia, in close collaboration with the architects Octave Van Rysselberghe and Henry Van de Velde (unfortunately, it was destroyed in 1914). In close connection to their pacifist ideals, Otlet and his Nobelprize winning co-worker Lafontaine sought to realize a World City and in 1911 saw their ambitions shared by the joint work of the French architect Ernest Hébrard and the American-Norwegian sculptor Hendrik Anderson (pp. 128-141). Later, in the late 1920s, Otlet joined forces with Le Corbusier to establish such a world-centre (pp. 229-247, a 1930 letter of Le Corbusier to Otlet on this matter is reproduced on pages 234-235). In his later moments of desperation, Otlet called on virtually every major political leader, including Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler to achieve this goal (pp. 217-218, p. 294). In these chapters related to architecture, Levie draws extensively on previously unstudied correspondence and adds much detail to our knowledge of Otlet's explorations in this area. In several other chapters, Levie documents in great detail the less unknown rise and downfall of Otlet's "Mondial Palace" (which was inaugurated in 1919) (chapters 12-14 and 16). Looking back on Otlet's endeavours it is not difficult to realize that many of his "utopian" ideas were realized in the course of history. Levie's unique work represents a most welcome update of our knowledge of Otlet. It bears direct relevance for historians of information science and bibliography and historians of architecture, but will, no doubt, attract many scholars from other disciplines, as it places Otlet against the background of several important historical trends and as it is very accessibly written. I take it that publishers are already preparing an English edition of this work - or else, they should be. I wholeheartedly agree with Levie's conclusion that we haven't finished discovering Otlet's work (p. 318)."

Abstract

The work of Joint Steering Committee for the Revision of Anglo-American Cataloguing rules gave rise to a confernce in Toronto, Canada, in Oct 1997. some contributors elaborated on prepared texts about precise points concerning the evolution of rules in general, and those of the AACR in particular. The evolution of the notion of the catalogue and that of the practice of cataloguing were the focus of contributions and debates at an electronic forum set up specially for the occasion. Synthesizes the topics discussed including: hypertext navigation within the body of catalogues or documents, the creation of metadata included in the electronic documents themselves, the evolution of the notion of authority, and the advent of a set of universal characters permitting liberation from the problems of transliteration

Abstract

Part 1 of a 2-part article. Describes the history of the Répertoire de vedettes-matière (Subject Headings Index) which was designed to meet the needs of Laval University Library but is used by many other institutions and is recognized as a Canadian standard by the National Library of Canada. It has supported the creation of a union catalogue which is used outside Canada, especially by the Bibliothèque Nationale in France, which conforms its status and guarantees its continued role in the standardization of subject headings used in the French-speaking world

Abstract

A discussion of the problems of creating a natural language list of descriptors for indexing general collections, based on the experience with French terminology by a Swiss library network. The basic principle which emerged from discussion of the candidate terms proposed by subject specialists for adoption by the working group was the necessity for accepting the inevitability of compromise (the requirements of one particular collection do not necessarily apply in other contexts). Ultimately subject headings are only an approximation of the concepts to which they refer the end purpose is essentially practical - assessing documents, not defining reality

Abstract

The Cinémathèque, founded in 1963, houses a film collection of some 27.000 items. The manual catalogue had long proved inadequate, and in 1989 computerization was put in hand, on a very limited budget. The initial choice of US software (STAR) in the absence of a suitable French-language program, resulted in a succession of problems, because of the necessity of adapting STAR for French and the lack of finance to buy in specialist expertise. Describes how staff developed database structures, subject headings, and cataloguing rules. It is hoped to complete the project by the end of 1993

Abstract

Outlines the difficulties experienced by users in the searching of OPACs. Describes visits to 3 scientific libraries in Montreal which provide OPACs: the library of the Ecole Polytechnique which offers ARCHIMEDE; the scientific library of the University of Quebec which offers BADADUQ; and the Physical Sciences and Engineering Library of McGill University which offers MUSE. Compares user training programmes offered by each of these libraries and discusses the librarians' responses to a questionnaire on user training under the following headings: mode of learning; teacher participation; marketing policy; and statistics of OPAC usage

Abstract

Account of the preliminary stages in the Bibliothèque National project to produce data from the national bibliography, the Bibliographie de France, on CD-ROM. The pilot disc was produced in collaboration with the British Library, using software developed by Online Computers, and tested out in 60 establishments in 1988. Results of this experiment showed up problems in installation, and user dissatisfaction with the indexing system, formats, headings, and instruction manual. Overall, however, user feedback indicated a good market for CD-ROM, as a complement to other sources of bibliographical data. The 1st full edition, with 380.000 records covering 1975-89, was produced in May 89, and a 2nd edition is scheduled for Oct 89. Discussions are currently in hand to develop European standards for CD-ROM, to be used by all national libraries.

Abstract

The encyclopedic indexing system RAMEAU is used in bibliographic records derived from BN-OPALE and Electre, the chief sources in France, and hence by an increasing number of libraries. Because it is designed to cover all subjects for all types of users, RAMEAU is complex, with numerous strict rules. This has led to criticism but if used systematically with appropriate software, it produces a high retrieval rate. The central principle is the distinction between authorities and subject headings, making it essential to create links between the two by including rejected and related terms. This is time consuming and produces better results than systems based on, for example, linguistic analysis

Abstract

Contribution to the ongoing debate on the French subject headings list RAMEAU, which has been much criticised as time consuming and inflexible. Proposed technical solutions to recurring problems with complex syntax, strucutre of hierarchical and associative links, and rigity of language are discussed, in the context of computerised cataloguing and retrieval using OPACs. As a universal indexing language RAMEAU is more appropriate for medium sized specialised libraries and specialist researchers. However the 2 possible subject indexing techniques, linguistic treatment of whole text and thesaurus, are now beginning to be viewed as complementary approaches

Abstract

Developed to meet the needs of the library at the Université Laval, the Répertoire de Vedettes-matière is used by many institutions and is recognized as the Canadian standard by the National Library of Canada. The Répertoire also supported the creation of a union catalogue network and its use in libraries abroad, especially the Bibliothèque Nationale in France, confirms, this status and guarantees its continuing role in the increasing standardization of subject headings used in the French-speaking world. Concludes the history of the Répertoire and the major events that shaped its progress
