Horsnell, Verina – 1974
An intermediate lexicon is described that employs a technique which allows, for a given subject area, the automatic translation of subject indexing from one indexing scheme into another. The lexicon was structured according to the principles of faceted classification and contained approximately 1,000 entries covering the field of library and…

Peer reviewedRosenberg, Victor – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1971
The experimental results obtained by testing the main hypotheses indicated that there was no difference between the two indexing methods compared, indexing from an alphabetical list alone, and indexing with the suggestion lists as a supplement to the alphabetical list. (Author/MM)

Peer reviewedWhite, Howard D.; Griffith, Belver C. – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Describes study that compared and judged the quality of subject indexing in online bibliographic databases. Documents from medical behavioral science literature are used with terms drawn from MEDLINE, PsychINFO, BIOSIS, and Excerpta Medica. Comparative statistics are presented on how each database links related documents and discriminates among…

Peer reviewedSilvester, June P.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1994
Describes the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lexical Dictionary (NLD), a machine-aided indexing system used online at the NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI). The functions of NLD system components are described in detail, and production and quality benefits resulting from machine-aided indexing at CASI are…

Markey, Karen – 1980
This review takes a critical approach in summarizing and evaluating the methodology and scope of catalog use studies, with emphasis on the subject approach to card catalog searching. Subject access is defined in this report; however, the process of subject searching, described repeatedly in library literature, has been based upon common sense…

Peer reviewedSalton, G.; Zhang, Y. – Information Processing and Management, 1986
Briefly reviews various methodologies for constructing enhanced document representations, discusses their general lack of usefulness, and describes a method of document indexing which uses title words taken from bibliographically related items. Evaluation of this process indicates that it is not sufficiently reliable to warrant incorporation into…

Adaptive Man-Machine Interaction in Information Retrieval; A Dissertation in Electrical Engineering.
Edwards, John S. – 1967
Three specific contributions to the field of information retrieval are presented. The first two describe the establishment of an adaptive, interactive man-machine dialogue that produces a form of unsolicited librarian-like assistance for the user in his selection of index terms to characterize an indexing function. The data set upon which the…

International Business Machines Corp., Yorktown Heights, NY. – 1966
The development of a large scale selective dissemination of information program, its experimental operation, and program evaluation is reported. An IBM 7090/94 computer program compared user interest profiles with the subject indexes of reports announced in "Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports." Users were provided with selected…
