Bibliographic organisation in automated environments
Second semester * Clayton * Prerequisite: LAR4070
This subject examines the place of computerisation in bibliographic organisation in libraries. The seminars introduce students to concepts relating to networks. Examples of major networks and bibliographic utilities are described and assessed. Particular attention is paid to Australian networks. Online subject access to library materials receives special notice. The practical sessions concentrate on instruction in how to use the Australian Bibliographic Network and on online indexing and thesaurus construction. LAR4070 is a prerequisite for this subject. Both must normally be taken in the same year.
