Introduction. The IFLA functional requirements for bibliographic records model has had a major impact on cataloguing principles and practices over the past fifteen years. This paper evaluates the model in the light of changes in the wider information environment (especially to information resources and retrieval) and in information seeking behaviour online, rather than in terms of library catal...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The first step in each systematic review is selection of the most valid database that can provide the highest number of relevant references. This study was carried out to determine the most suitable database for information retrieval in telemedicine field. METHODS Cinhal, PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched for telemedicine matched with Education, cos...

The author reviews the activity of International Federation Library Associations (IFLA) in area bibliography and bibliographic studies since second half 20th century. IFLA bibliography-oriented divisions with account to recent structural changes are named. approved at 2021 World Information Congress. key projects blbliography cataloguing discussed: Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC), UNISIST...

The combination of informetric analysis and information retrieval allows a twofold application. (1) While informetrics analysis is primarily used to gain insights into a scientific domain, it can be used to build recommendation or alternative ranking services. They are usually based on methods like co-occurrence or citation analyses. (2) Information retrieval and its decades-long tradition of r...

Reports in library information system involve bibliographic cataloguing cards. XML Schema for modelling the concepts of bibliographic cataloguing card is described. All concepts of the main bibliographic cataloguing card are shown. Analysis of the capability of XML Schema language for representing the concepts of all types of the bibliographic cataloguing cards is given too. Besides, the possib...

The experiences of medical students, residents, and faculty with a computerized literature searching system were evaluated. Third-year medical students, internal medicine and family practice residents, and full-time and voluntary faculty at one medical school had the opportunity to use a full-text and bibliographic medical literature retrieval system free of charge for an eleven-month period. S...

The main objective of this study is to reduce the retrieval time of a list of products by choosing the best combination of storage and retrieval rules at any time. This is why we start by implementing some storage rules in an Automated Storage/Retrieval System (Automated Storage and Retrieval System: AS/RS) fitted with a gravity conveyor while some of these rules are dedicated to storage and ot...

We describe a quantitative model for the performance evaluation of interactive computer systems. The approach involves the development of an “interaction graph” or state transition diagram to describe the usermachine interaction. Given numerical data on transition times and probabilities, the model can be used to perform sensitivity analyses of changes in system parameters and user behavior. To...
