    Abstract
    The British Library underlined its commitment to digital and networking technologies with the announcement of its Initiatives for Access programme: the intention of which is to make the library collection more available to users, including other libraries, visitors to the exhibtion galleries, and researchers in the reading rooms or off site. One of the first projects is the British Library Network OPAC, available to all JANET Internet sites. Other projects include a project at the Document Supply Centre to scan and index 50 top scientific periodicals, making information retrieval by users very rapid; and the digitization of manuscripts (Electronic Beowolf project) for dissemination and preservation

    Abstract
    Describes the development of SuperJANET, the new optical fibre network for the UK academic and research community. Considers pilot applications for SuperJANET covering library and non library applications and strategic issues to be met for SuperJANET to become an information superhighway. Gigabyte networks will be 1.000 time faster than JANET and will enable sophisticated image and voice communication. SuperJANET uses synchronous digital hierarchy technology. SuperJANET is being developed and and introduced in a number of phases. Discusses supercomputing, library and information services, and strategic issues. Examines the role of technology and librarians in the development of the virtual library

    Abstract
    Discusses the project involved in the British Library's Initiatives for Access Programme. These include a prototype electronic 'photo viewing' system for picture research; networked OPAC on JANET; the Patent Jukebox of a million current patents from the UK, US and European Patant Offices; Portico, an online information server; evaluation of neural networks for optical character recognition; investigation of SuperJANET for transmission of large image files; digital conversion of sound recordings; scanning of microfilm such as the Burnley collection of the 17th and 18th century newspapers onto optical disc; and the digitisation of the Magna Carta, Lindisfarne Gospels, Leonardo Sketchbooks, Sforza Hours and the Diamond Sutra for archival storage, multimedia development and on-screen viewing in the library's exhibition galleries

    Abstract
    The ESRC data archive at the University of Essex has provided access to social science research data for the academic community since the late 1960s. Since the mid-1980s bibliographic descriptions of all the Archive's 5000 plus datasets have been available to users of JANET and the Internet via the Archives BIRON (Bibliographic Information Retrieval Online) System. The Archive is now seeking to extend the bibliographic information on BIRON to the full texts of the documentation held. Discusses the nature of social science data and documentation, digitisation of existing paper documents, development of information retrieval tools and access to the resulting databases both by CD-ROM and via the Internet

    Abstract
    The British Library Online Catalogue is one of the main systems to be implemented before the British Library's move to St Pancras and is already installed in the Aldwych, Holborn and Bloomsbury reading rooms. It is intended to be a replacement for the manual catalogues and has been built in a modular manner enabling the easy replacement of old parts and additiion of new ones. Describes the basic design requirements for the catalogue, catalogues currently available in the system and those to be added shortly, and links to the Reader Admissions System and the Automated Book Requesting System. Discusses the 3 principal design components and proposes links to JANET

    Abstract
    Describes a project based at the ESRC Data Archive, Esses University to examine standards for cataloguing computer files and the feasibility of creating a union catalogue of computer files. A pilot scheme was set up to enable the MARC record output of the ESRC Data Archive to be merged with the software records of the NISS (National Information on Software and Services) data base, which is available on the JANET network.

    Abstract
    The DIMDI undertook a translation of NLM's MeSH, the machine-readable version is available from DIMDI. The thesaurus contains 18.000 subject headings in medicine and related fields. It is arranged: 1) alphabetically and 2) hierarchically. Both arrangements have a main list with the main subject headings only in German and two lists with German-English and English-German subject headings

    Abstract
    A recent survey at the Royal Library in the Netherlands showed that subject headings are more efficient than title keywords for retrieval purposes. 475 Dutch publications were selected at random and assigned subject headings. The study showed that subject headings provided additional useful information in 56% of titles. Subsequent searching of the library's online catalogue showed that 88% of titles were retrieved via subject headings against 57% through title keywords. Further precision may be achieved with the help of indexing staff, but at considerable cost

    Abstract
    The Technical Services Committee of the Women's Studies Section, Association of College and Research Libraries, investigated the assignment of subject headings (LCSH) to core works in women's studies. Annotations for the works were compared with subject headings on OCLC cataloguing copy, mainly created by the Library of Congress. Identifies inadequates and traces them to 3 sources: inadequacies in terminology (sexist langugae, limited and biased concepts and imprecise headings); complexities of assigning headings in interdisciplinary and / or emerging fields; and standard cataloguing practices. Lists sample concepts and existing established LCSH missing lacking in bibliographical records and sample concepts lacking adequate established subject headings. Presents recommendations for remedying these problems

    Abstract
    Analyses the hierarchical structure of subject headings in the cluster of the social sciences in the 12th ed. of the LCSH. Recommends some headings presently in the cluster for elimination, and suggests some not related at present. Headings pertinent to social processes, social organisation, and culture are grouped in 3 social clusters: action theory, culture, and social structure. Makes suggestions for establishing new subject headings. The intention of these changes is to create the cluster of headings corresponding to the social theory of present day and reflecting interrelationships among social phenomena and levels of generalisation

    Abstract
    Describes a study to investigate end user understanding of subdivided subject headings in their current form and in the form proposed by the first recommendation of the Library of Congress Subject Subdivisions Conference. The impetus for this study was a charge by the Subject Analysis Committee of the ALA to respond to the first recommendation of the LC Subject Subdivisions Conference that proposed standardizing the order of subject subdivisions. Questionnaires bearing subdivided subject headings in the 'current' form and in the form proposed were distributed to users and professional cataloguers who were asked for the meaning of individual headings. The end users' responses to cataloguers' responses were compared to determine end users' level of understanding of subdivided subject headings. An analysis of end user interpretations demonstrated that they interpreted the meaning of subject headings in the same manner as cataloguers about 40% of the time for 'current' forms of subject headings and about 32% of the time for 'proposed' forms of subject headings. Concludes with specific recommendations about the first recommendation of the LC Subject Subdivisions Conference and general recommendations about increasing end user understanding of subdivided subject headinbgs

    Abstract
    n this article, we report on the first large-scale study of end-user understanding of subject headings. Our objectives were to determine the extent to which children and adults understood subdivided subject headings and to suggest improvements for improving understanding of subject headings. The 1991 Library of Congress Subject Subdivisions Conference suggested standardizing the order of subject subdivisions for the purpose of simplifying subject cataloging, which served as the impetus for the study. We demonstrated that adults understood subject headings better than children; however, both adults and children assigned correct meanings to less than half of the subject headings they examined. Neither subject heading context nor subdivision order had an effect on understanding. Based on our findings, we challenge the library community to make major changes to the Library of Congress Subject Headings system that have the potential to increase end-user understanding of subject headings.
