The 131 references on small scale computer-based indexing cited in this bibliography are subdivided as follows: general, general (computer), index structure, microforms, specific systems, KWIC KWAC KWOC, and thesauri. (RAA)

A proposal for a computer-aided method of building up an indexing language is made. The method involves linking terms relevant to any special retrieval system into the UDC, via a video terminal, producing a hybrid thesaurus-classification. (5 references)

There are two major parts to this book. The first is a study of bibliographic control of microforms, and the second is an extensive annotated bibliography of microforms. The study included a survey of 190 libraries and showed that local bibliographic control of microforms is often so inadequate that usefulness of the microform collection is…

Discusses the role of certain types of classifications in a modern automated environment. (Author/PF)

The Text-Pac System is capable of generating indexes and bulletins to provide a current information service without the selectivity feature. Indexes of the accumulated data base may also be used as a basis for manual retrospective searching. The manual search involves searching computer-prepared indexes from a machine readable data base produced…

This research reports an algorithmic approach to the automatic generation of thesauri for electronic community systems. The techniques used include term filtering, automatic indexing, and cluster analysis. The Worm Community System, used by molecular biologists studying the nematode worm C. elegans, was used as the testbed for this research.…

Documentation centers are needed to handle the vast amount of scientific and technical information currently being issued. Such centers should be concerned both with handling inquiries in a particular field and with producing a general catalog of current information. Automatic analysis of texts by computers will be the best way to handle material,…

Discusses problems and costs involved in the use of the Library of Congress List of Subject Headings (LCSH) and speculates on how these problems can be minimized once the traditional card catalog is replaced with computer technology. (LLS)

Author describes the establishment of archives for the presentation of the artistic heritage of France classified in such a way that each entry has a precise scientific content. (Author/RK)

Surveys the current state of minicomputer-operated information systems capable of incorporating linguistic features, focusing on the Minicomputer Operated Retrieval (Partially Heuristic) System. Consideration is given to the automation of the indexing process and to available search strategies. (FM)

The history, purpose, and operation of six computer-based information networks are described in general and nontechnical terms. In the introduction the many definitions of an information network are explored. Ohio College Library Center's network (OCLC) is the first example. OCLC began in 1963, and since early 1973 has been extending its services…

Word frequency books are compiled on the basis of common usage and aid language users to know which terms best communicate an idea. (Author)

Describes the development and application of an algorithm that generates non-linear representations of English text. It appears that the representation it produces could be quite useful in automatic language processing. (JB)

Introduced are methods for computation of term-term association factors, indexing, assignment of term-document relevance values, and computation for recall and relevance. Recall and relevance are based on quantitative intenal system computations, and results are compared with user evaluations. (Author/MF)

Suggests the use of computers for the administrative tasks of departments and individual faculty members. Outlines the advantages of integrated software computer use. Details the strengths and weaknesses of specific computer programs. Provides examples of the application of computers to particular tasks. (RW)
