- Abstract
- Over 10 years have passed since the 1985 call for a comprehensive theoretical code for LSCH, and no such code has been developed or announced. Although considerable progress has been made towards the goals of a code, i.e. making the headings and their usage more logical, more consistent, clearer and more user friendly, much still remains to be done to achieve complete subject heading standardization plus documentation of the standards

- Abstract
- Besides 15 revides refereed technical contributions, the book presents 4 invited survey papers by key persons heading insitutions and projects essentially advancing the state of the art: France Cordova (NASA), James H. Billington (LoC), Raj Reddy (CMU), and Larry Smarr (NCSA, University of Illinois). The technical papers are organized in topical sections on visualization, document handling and information retrieval, network-based information and resource discovery, and design issues and prototyping

- Abstract
- Examines the meaning of combinatory; coordinated; pre- and postcoordination. Finds that different international standards are not consistent and the lack of precision and confused terminology produces serious conceptual errors such as subject heading lists into 'combinatory' indexing langugaes, or excluding them from the imprecise dimension 'classificatory-combinatory languages'

- Abstract
- Explains how the current resurgence of cooperative cataloguing initiatives require that OCLC Online Union Catalog (OLUC) search keys evolve to allow more precise searching. Describes the results achieved by searching personal and corporate authors by word and phrase to obtain guidance on deciding about heading formation and necessary references. Concludes that phrase searching needs to be brought into existence in OLUC search mechanisms as quickly as possible to speed up cataloguing, and that OCLC needs to take note of these requirements by eliminating limitations on searching

Since the author headings prescribed by RICA include personal names, corporate names and titles, this survey looks at all such SBN catalogue entries having an access point function. Presents many examples of standard and variant forms of heading, and reviews control procedures

- Abstract
- The SAC Subcommittee on Subject Relationships/Reference Structures was authorized at the 1995 Midwinter Meeting and appointed shortly before Annual Conference. Its creation was one result of a discussion of how (and why) to promote the display and use of broader-term subject heading references, and its charge reads as follows: To investigate: (1) the kinds of relationships that exist between subjects, the display of which are likely to be useful to catalog users; (2) how these relationships are or could be recorded in authorities and classification formats; (3) options for how these relationships should be presented to users of online and print catalogs, indexes, lists, etc. By the summer 1996 Annual Conference, make some recommendations to SAC about how to disseminate the information and/or implement changes. At that time assess the need for additional time to investigate these issues. The Subcommittee's work on each of the imperatives in the charge was summarized in a report issued at the 1996 Annual Conference (Appendix A). Highlights of this work included the development of a taxonomy of 165 subject relationships; a demonstration that, using existing MARC coding, catalog systems could be programmed to generate references they do not currently support; and an examination of reference displays in several CD-ROM database products. Since that time, work has continued on identifying term relationships and display options; on tracking research, discussion, and implementation of subject relationships in information systems; and on compiling a list of further research needs.

- Abstract
- The OCLC Authority File is one of the most underused and underrated yet most powerful tool for answering reference questions. It provides the benefits of no cost searching, access to a wealth of biographical and geographical information online, increased staff productivity by reducing research time, multiple cross reference access points, and documenting sources used to verify the information. The flexible searching protocol and the consolidation in one record of both the authorized and all variant forms for personal, corporate, and geographical names, subject headings, and uniform titles (created by the Library of Congress and the National Coordinated Cataloguing Operations (NACO)) mean that searchers need know only one of the forms to retrieve the established heading

- Abstract
- There are many problems with subject access in online catalogues. One of the major problems is information overload. One kind of this occurs when the display consists of a lengthy segment of the subject index in which a single subject heading is followed by a bewildering array of subdivisons, qualifications and phrases. This problem can be alleviated by presenting the subject index in a summary form that the user can expand to provide more detail as appropriate. Such an approach could be realized within the context of a direct manipulation style of user interface. In particular, a manner of displaying information called 'fisheye views' could be applied to the subject index display
