  • The Science Library Catalog: a Springboard for Information Literacy
    The Science Library Catalog: A Springboard for Information Literacy SLMQ Volume 24, Number 2, Winter 1996 Virginia A. Walter, Christine L. Borgman, and Sandra G. Hirsh, Department of Library and Information Science, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles. The world of electronic information is increasingly important, and opening that world to children is a critical part of the library media specialist’s job. That task would be much easier, of course, if electronic information resources were more “child-friendly.” A number of researchers in our field are tackling design issues related to children’s use of these resources, and the creators of the Science Library Catalog (SLC) are pioneers in this effort. Led by Christine Borgman, this research team has been designing successive versions of the SLC and using them as a platform for longitudinal research for almost a decade. In this column, the team summarizes its experiences to date. The column outlines the cognitive theories that have informed the SLC’s ongoing design; describes the catalog itself; explains the continuing research effort based on the SLC; and discusses the research results-emphasizing the findings that are most relevant to school library media specialists as they seek to develop children’s information skills. References to others’ work-including Paul Solomon’s fall 1994 “Current Research” column-suggest the expanding research base that is beginning to establish design criteria for electronic information resources for children.

However, most of the interface provided by the database is Google-like, which is different from the PICO framework. Therefore, this project hopes to create a tool to use the PICO framework to retrieve the most precise literature without having the advance research skill. Description: The concept of interface design is based on PICO framework. With the function of mapping with medical subject heading, it helps users to increase the correctness of search strategy and also revised search strategy simultaneously. In addition, in order to meet the clinical needs, the clinical cases related elements such as age, gender, pregnancy, etc. are also provided in the literature filters; the conditions for selecting evidence-based literature are also provided, such as clinical queries, publication types, language, etc.

  • Reimagining the User Experience in Archives & Special Collections
    LG-74-17-0134-17 Art Center College of Design ArtCenter College of Design - Reimagining the User Experience in Archives & Special Collections: Best Practices for Library Collaborations with Designers Abstract ArtCenter College of Design proposes a Sparks! Ignition Grant to identify emerging best practices for collaborations between library professionals and designers. The one-year project will include as its centerpiece a core 14-week design development period in which both library/archive professionals and Millennial technology designers will work together in devising digital tools/interfaces for the College's archives. While the project is expected to yield early prototypes of actual products, the primary focus will be on processes and practices. The results will be assessed and distilled into recommendations shared through a national white paper to be widely circulated in both the library and design audiences. As reflected in the National Digital Platform report, libraries are facing an increased need to incorporate design into technologies, applications, and services in order to meet the needs of the users. While some libraries are adding user experience librarians to their staff, positions focusing on this specialty remain scarce. In contrast, user experience is a pervasive focus in technology design. But accepted best practices for incorporating design into library-related initiatives are nascent at best. As a pilot, we will focus on working with designers to improve access to archives and special collections materials. Access to archival collections is a rich topic for exploration as the online presence of archives has increased significantly in the last several years. Balances between preservation and access, as well as physical and digital are complex issues with regards to access.

  • Revisiting Cataloging in Medieval Libraries

Russell Beth M. Russell, MA, MLIS, is Original Cataloging Librarian, Cushing Memorial Library, Texas A&M University. ABSTRACT. Scholars working in the fields of medieval history and cultural history have recognized that understanding the cataloging and accessioning of books is central to understanding the transmission of ideas. This view should come as no surprise to catalogers themselves, who daily struggle with the problem of providing intellectual, and sometimes physical, access to texts and information. Unfortunately, general histories of libraries and even the library literature seem content to sketch out a chronological development of cataloging in line with the nineteenth and twentieth century view of library development, from a simple list to complex intellectual systems. In truth, however, those individuals responsible for cataloging books in medieval libraries faced many of the same challenges as catalogers today: how to organize information, how to serve local needs, and how to provide access to individual works within larger bibliographic.formats. This article will summarize recent

  • The Library's Catalog: from Cards to Databases
    The Library's Catalog: From Cards to Databases First, Some Definitions call number: A call number is an arrangement of letters and numbers assigned to an item located in a library's collection in order to provide a library user with an easy way to locate the item on the shelf. Most library systems assign call numbers based on the subject matter covered in the item. A Library of Congress call number will look like this: PT2635.E68I625 1983. A Dewey Decimal call number will look like this: 833.912 REMARQUE. card catalog: An organized index to library materials consisting of cabinets filled with cards that describe and locate materials in the library. A typical card catalog would list items by author, title, and subject or might combine all three into one alphabetically arranged system. database: A computerized system for indexing and retrieving information. A database might allow searching by multiple means. For example, in the case of a library database, that would include searching by any word, by subject, by title, by author, by date, etc. Catalogs at Yale. Computers at UNF. OPAC (online public access catalog): A library's computerized catalog. OPACs are based on the previously used card catalogs and include all of the information that was available on the cards and, in many cases, additional information, such as book tables of contents. subject heading: Most libraries arrange materials on the shelves into subject arrangements. This is accomplished by the use of subject categories or headings that are predefined according to the classification system used by the library.
