extends from the very broad to the very specific, from the very theoretical
to the most
pragmatic.The
chief advantage of Autocat, as of all such lists, is that it expands
the pool of knowledgeable people to whom an individual can turn for help,
easily and quickly.
A cataloger
faced with a publication in, what to that library, is a very exotic language
for which it lacks adequate resources can get help; e.g., one library helped
another in
cataloging
a work in Zulu while a bit earlier a library in Finland helped a library
in Mississippi catalog a work in Estonian. Questions on interpretation
of AACR2r, organization
of
technical services units, appropriate MARC coding, formulation of subject
headings, appropriate class numbers in LCC or DCC, announcements of forthcoming
meetings,
reports of
past meetings, announcements of job openings, the conditions under which
Minimal Level Cataloging should be applied, the use of Core Level records,
how to
describe the
pagination of an unpaged volume, sexism in LC subject headings, these and
other topics are all grist for Autocat's mill."

[URL inactive, April 20, 2006]
"The provision of services to support lifelong learning is becoming a major
responsibility of many agencies in modern society. Libraries will potentially
play a central role in
this process, and are already changing as they re-orient themselves to
meet the new challenges. The New Review of Libraries and Lifelong Learning
is designed to report on
innovative approaches to providing the various information skills and learning
environments which will foster continuous learning. Progress in information
and
communication technologies, the re-design of library service delivery,
and the scope for libraries to underpin the development of networked learning
systems are explored in
depth in The New Review. Key themes covered include:
- Research which places libraries within the lifelong learning paradigm,
including the significance of distance learning, open learning and other
non-traditional approaches
- New models of library provision designed to address the wide variety
of lifelong learning requirements, involving issues of library co-operation,
appropriate technologies,
information quality, and both national and international policy imperatives
- The contribution of different library sectors - academic, public, special
- to the process of lifelong learning
- User requirements, especially of non-traditional users, such as mature
learners
- Studies of lifelong learning in particular sectors, such as health, business
and the voluntary sector
- The balance of technological as well as more conventional solutions to
learning problems - focusing on learning styles, computer-mediated communication,
and
multimedia systems
- The development of library management practices needed to meet the demands
of the extended responsibilities placed upon libraries.
The New Review of Libraries and Lifelong Learning, published annually,
is essential reading for all librarians, and for those in the wider educational

- Electronic Journal Access: The Alliance
[URL inactive, April 21, 2006]
“The Electronic Journal Access Project is part of a development
effort by the nonprofit Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries
(The Alliance). Hardware funding was received from the
State Library of Colorado through the Library Services and
Construction Act (LSCA). As with any major web development
project, this home page is the result of collaborative work by
many individuals.
The e-journal project and web site are the result of
work begun in the fall of 1995 and partially funded by an LSCA grant. This
home page provides a title and subject organization of
electronic serial publications (e.g. journals, newsletters, magazines,
e'zines, webzines) on the Internet. The project also
funds the loading of selected e-journals on the local server. Local loading
will allow easier access for some titles currently on
the Internet and will provide new titles not previously available on-line.”
- Electronic
Journals: A Selected Resource Guide
"This Resource guide is an introduction to the rapidly
growing field of electronic journals. The sources are spread broadly across
the library literature, and this guide attempts to select a representative,
but not exhaustive, group of publications that cover the history of e-journals
and the main issues involved in their production, management and use. The
guide also suggests starting points for more in-depth investigations, and
includes sources for keeping current with ongoing developments in electronic
journals.
Likely readers of this guide will include library staff
who are involved in the selection, management, and distribution of electronic
journals; systems staff who are involved in providing access to them; managers
who are making electronic journals available in their libraries; and publishers,
vendors and distributors of electronic journals.
Most of the sources listed here are available on the
World Wide Web. Every attempt will be made to keep this resource guide
current and to make sure that the links are active."

links that are provided here constitute an edited selection from the full
range of sites currently available on the Web. The sites that are included
are considered to either:provide an original contribution to, or discussion
of, the issues surrounding the citation of electronic resources offer a
systematic solution for the citation of electronic material OR provide
a clear summary or crib sheet to this material."
- The Etext Archives
"The ETEXT Archives were founded in the Summer of 1992
by Paul Southworth, hosted by the User Services department of the University
of Michigan's Information Technology Division. The web was just a glimmer,
gopher was the new hot technology, and FTP was still the standard information
retrieval protocol for the vast majority of users. The origin of the project
has caused numerous people to associate it with the University of Michigan,
although in fact there has never been an official relationship and the
project is supported entirely by volunteer labor and contributions. The
equipment is wholly owned by the project maintainers.
The project was started in response to the lack of organized
archiving of political documents, periodicals and discussions disseminated
via Usenet on newsgroups such as alt.activism, misc.activism.progressive,
and alt.society.anarchy. The alt.politics.radical-left group came later
and was also a substantial source of both materials and regular contributors."
"The Etext Archives (est. 1992) are home to electronic texts of all kinds,
from the sacred to the profane, from the political to the personal. Our
duty is to provide electronic versions of texts without judging their content."
Includes: "Zines [Electronic periodicals from the professional
to the personal], The Quartz Archive [An archive of etexts formerly hosted
at quartz.rutgers.edu.], CuD [A mirror of the Computer Underground Digest

material ranging from Zines to essays], Mailing Lists [Various mailing

- Alex Catalogue of Electronic
Texts
"The Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts is a collection of digital documents.
The scope of documents in the collection includes items from American literature,
English
literature, and Western philosophy. The Catalogue has a number of
unique features. First, not only can you search for and display texts from
the collection, but you can also
search the content of located texts. For example, you can search for Mark
Twain's The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn. You can then search the content
of The Adventures
for the words like fish and belly to get a description of Huck Finn's
father. Moreover, you can search the content of multiple documents
simultaneously. For example, you can
first locate all the documents in the collection authored by Mark Twain.
Next, you can search selected documents for something like slav* to draw
out themes across texts.
Another unique feature of the Catalogue is the on-the-fly creation of PDF
files. Using this option you can specify things like fonts and font sizes
for your output. For example,
you can create a PDF version of Washington Irving's Rip Van Winkle. This
feature allows you to create simply formatted but very readable documents
for printing; the
documents in the collection are not necessarily intended to be read online.
A third unique feature of the Catalogue is the free goodies available for
downloading. These
goodies include complete sets of the collected documents and the tools
necessary to search them without the use of your Web browser. While you
will still need a direct
Internet connection, the search tools provide the means for more complex
content analysis and enhance access to texts in the collection. [Eric Lease

are preceded by a few sites where one may learn to search on the World
Wide Web, a collection of synonym dictionaries and thesauri (to find the
right search terms), experts
to ask questions and the URL's of a number of fee-based services which
offer to do the searching for you. Next, under the heading Search
engine code texts you'll find the
adresses of some sites with pieces of code which you can paste in your
own homepages to offer direct access to a number of search engines. Finally
I included information
about making your own site searchable and a link to a collection of online
bookmark managers. (A well organized bookmark file still is one of the

glossary is whether or not the average reader, researcher, or librarian
might reasonably be expected to encounter it at some point in his (or her)
career. The technical vocabulary
of publishing and information technology, and of library and information
science, has been included when the author determined that a definition
might prove useful not only
to professionals, but also to the general library user. Although it may
appeal to a wider audience, Hypertext Library Lingo is intended to meet
the needs of college and
university students and faculty, including librarians."

gather, organize, filter and disseminate information: therefore section
one is dedicated to "Public Services". Here are pointers to search engines,
topical guides, ready reference
and databases on the net. Section two is devoted to our professional
development, knowledge management and library literature on the web.
We commit ourselves to
lifelong learning, both to remain current in our field and to continuously
enhance our services. Section three covers "Technical Services."
This section provides guides for
cataloguing, /intranet web page development tools, scripting, acquisitions
sourcing. Wherever possible meta sites or pathfinder resources are
presented. The Librarians'
