Building a Serials Key Word Index (p.34-47)
WALTER C. CRAWFORD
Key word indexing techniques are being used at the University of California, Berkeley, to improve access to serial titles in the libraries of the campus. The system developed for this purpose has involved new looks at problems of machine sorting and word recognition, and has resulted in a multipurpose system for creating bibliographic listings from MARC-format records.
The Catalog: Its Nature and Prospects (p.48-66)
MARY KAY DANIELS GANNING
On October 9-10, 1975, the Information Science and Automation Division (ISAD), the Reference and Adult Services Division (RASD) and the Resources and Technical Services Division, Cataloging and Classification Section (RTSD CCS), of the American Library Association cosponsored an institute on "The Catalog - Its Nature and Prospects." The purpose of the institute was to consider all aspects of the catalog - its use as a tool consulted by librarians and patrons, the impact of centralized cataloging on bibliographic control, and the impact of technological advances on the format of the catalog both presently and in the future. This paper summarizes the formal presentations of the institute. ISAD will publish the full proceedings at a later date.
