The Use of Arabized Software Packages in Jordan University Libraries

This study reviews the higher education movement, and the development of Universities in Jordan. Academic libraries use of Arabized software packages (MINISIS and CDS/ISIS), rationale for selection, applications, services, problems, solutions, and future plans are surveyed. Types of hardware, staff, and material entries are discussed. The study samples included 20 libraries. All of 17 (85%) respondent libraries are computerized. Six (35·3%) use MINISIS, nine (52·9%) use CDS/ISIS, and two (11·8%) use customized packages. Systems are mostly employed in technical processing, reference services, bibliographies, and acquisitions. Adaptability to Arab libraries functions, handling of bi-lingual documents, and networking ability are the prime priority, inter alia , reasons for packages selection. Insufficient funds and equipment, and unskilled staff are the major hindrances which obstruct the full use of packages. This study stresses the need to develop packages conducive to meet particular Arab libraries demands, plans for manpower academic training, and the necessity for libraries linkage to networks.

The Use of PsycBOOKS in Academic Libraries

A survey concerning usage of PsycBOOKS was mailed to the database coordinators at 280 academic libraries in the United States in the winter of 1991. A total of 160 usable returns, representing a 57% return rate, were received. Results indicate that a majority of the responding libraries did not own this important reference tool, and were not planning to acquire it, although patrons from libraries that did own it responded positively to its format and ease of use. Some comments received indicated a lack of awareness about the existence of PsycBOOKS, while others indicated an interest in waiting for its appearance in CD-ROM format before purchasing.

Accessibility and Reference Use of the Depository Collection in College and University Libraries

This paper will first present a short history of the many issues involved in government documents librarianship over the years. It then will present an ovewiew of the most frequently used and requested sources of government information. It will by no means be an exhaustive list because it is aimed at the general information provider in an academic library. This general information provider may not be very familiar with federal documents and may even be afraid of them. In this world of rapidly advancing technology, documents can no longer be pushed aside or overlooked as a source of information because access has improved so much. In this overview, the many formats, including the electronic format in which many documents are now available, will also be noted. This electronic format has caused many problems to arise because of the lack of a federal information policy that is clearly defined.
