The Pennsylvania Union List of Serials

The Pennsylvania Union List of Serials (PaULS) is presently in the process of transition from development to maintenance. Since October 1, 1979, its development has been supported by the State Library of Pennsylvania with LSCA funds. The current article describes accomplishments of PaULS from early 1981 through April 1983 including the production of its "core titles" in COM fiche and the conversion of its records by OCLC to the format required for the union listing capability. Current and future problems for PaULS are discussed as are long-term maintenance issues. In addition, PaULS' role as one part of the national serials database is examined.     

欧盟及欧洲诸国公共图书馆服务立法筒述（上）

Producing a Local Union List of Serials with Word Processing Equipment

The current interest and activity in the production of serials union lists has not by-passed small nonacademic libraries, although they often do not have access to the latest automated means of production. The Illinois Valley Library System found itself in this position and, consequently, needed to make some difficult bibliographic decisions as well as find an efficient means of production. The Heart of Illinois Library Consortium Union List of Serials which resulted is arranged by latest title and was produced on an IBM Office System 6 word processor.

档案与文化浅识(二)

5.档案的文化功能 既然档案不仅具有自己的本质属性,而且具有一般知识和一般信息的属性,那么,档案不仅具有其自身固有的功能,而且具有一般知识和一般信息的功能.这些功能主要是文化功能.概括起来主要有以下几种: 5.1存史功能.档案作为一种历史记录,如果档案保存完整的话,从宏观上说,它所记录的内容纵贯一个国家产生、发展的各个历史阶段,横括人类社会各个领域.

(Re)Making the Serials Cataloger: The SCCTP Within an Educational Framework

ABSTRACT

The Serials Cooperative Cataloging Program (SCCTP) is reviewed from the standpoint of a library educator. Although the demand for copy catalogers has declined in the era of digital information, the demand for original catalogers has remained constant due, in part, to the growth in titles in different media formats and different languages. Additionally linking to information housed externally or internally and embedding metadata tags for resource discovery are among the new tasks for organizers of information in the Internet era. Increasingly professional organizations are filling the need for continuing education and training for advanced-level catalogers. This article examines the SCCTP as a model for continuous professional development and concludes it is adaptable more generally.

The Education of Serials Catalogers

The proliferation of online searching as well as its relative decline in cost has been both a boon and a bane for undergraduate use of journal literature. Preliminary working bibliographies for brief research papers can be constructed in a shorter period of time allowing more time for the creative, cognitive process which is the reason for the exercise in the first place. Dispersion of citations indicates a higher percent of the relative literature searched. However, the stationary level of the student's familiarity with the subject at hand counteracts these benefits to a far greater degree than most might wish to admit. Lack of analytic selection from the citations produced by the search as well as initial errors in qualifying limitations placed on the search (such as period of publication, for example) further exacerbate this problem.     

The Networks Merger and Serials Control

After moving for the past several years toward internetwork cooperation, the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) and its two competitors, the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) and the Western Library Network (WLN), have entered into an agreement with one another and with the Library of Congress to implement the Linked Systems Project. Its goal is the eventual creation of a single bibliographic network. Some of OCLC's regional networks are also cooperating in order to improve service to their members, and the CONSER Program has recently expanded its levels of participation. All of these dcvclopments should have a positive impact on serials control. Increasing levels of automation in the treatment of serials should lead to increased efficiency in serials proccdures.
