----------------------------Original message----------------------------

**  This message is being posted to BI-L and PACS-L  **

A DOS/Windows/Toolbook version of Research Assistant,
 the computer based library instruction product developed
by Ann Bevilacqua, is nearing completion.

Ann is looking for several libraries to serve as beta test sites
for the product.

This version of Research Assistant runs under Toolbook
and requires at least a 386 machine with current versions of
DOS and Windows.  More RAM is better.  Toolbook is
generally distributed with current versions of Windows.

If you are interested please call:  Ann Bevilacqua at
203-647-8104

or e-mail David Lewis at dlewis@uconnvm.uconn.edu.
If you e-mail please include a telephone number.

Please reply to the author, not PACS-L.  Thanks, Jill

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Please respond to me directly at mundlet@max.cc.uregina.ca
as I am not necessarily a member of this list.

I apologize for any cross-posting as this message is going
out to more than one list.

The University of Regina Library is at present reexamining
its space and how our materials are arranged within that
space.  We are toying with idea of moving to an all journals
floor; at present our floors are designated by call number
with one sequence for monographs and one sequence for
journals.

We also at present separate out the 'Current Issues' from
the backfiles.  A rule of thumb for 'Current Issues' usually
implies the current year, i.e. 1992, although sometimes it
is longer.

I think this is a typical situation.  However, I would like
to know if there are any libraries out there that are
placing current issues immediately with the backfiles, be
those backfiles bound or unbound?  How do the clients like
this?  Do you think they would prefer the current issues
separated out?

So could you please answer the following questionnaire:

Do you immediately file current issues with backfiles?

How long have you been doing this in this manner?

How has the reaction been from your clients?  Are they
happy?  Would they prefer the current issues be separated
out?

If you have recently changed (within the last two years), to
put both together, why did you change?

Approximately how large is your collection?


How many students?

How many faculty?


Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for
your time.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I also think that Library of Congress subject headings is not the way
to go.  It simply is not hierarchical enough nor close enough to the
words people naturally think of.  I would suggest that instead of
looking at subject headings, you look at classification schemes.  The
LC classification scheme might work, but you may not need anything that
complicated.  Take a look at the Dewey Decimal Scheme and consider
modifying that.  It is much more hierarchical (am I spelling this right?)
and patrons seem to be able to browse fairly well in it.

               INFORMATION SUPPLY BY CD-ROM

The International Centre for Distance Learning at the UK Open
University (ICDL) is involved, with National Council for Educational
Technology (NCET) in a project for the Commonwealth Secretariat,
looking at what might be possible in terms of the supply of
information on CD-ROM, including full text, to Commonwealth academic
and research institute libraries.

We know that a number of bodies have been working in this area for
some time and that there are ongoing projects, such as ADONIS, and
Cornell's investigation of Agricultural literature, that are clearly of
interest.  In the time scale we have available we are going to have
difficulty in making contact with everything that is being done,
though we hope to identify most of the published literature.

We should like to hear from anybody working in this area of interest,
ie. supply of library type information in developing countries,
particularly via CD-ROM.  What projects are ongoing?  How far have
they got?  What has already been made available?  Papers in press?

When this first came up, I was certain that it must be a mistake, so I called
CARL.  We have a dedicated password, not a dedicated port (for UnCover).  I
was told that for the forseeable future, it seemed that anyone with such a
password for UnCover would also be able to get into ERIC.  Of course, I don't
know what it is your university is paying for.  Perhaps it has a dedicated
port-- we don't, and during busy afternoons we get "refused" or "failed" quite
often.  One poor stubborn graduate student tried 60 times in a single
afternoon!

Subject:      RE: Casual Instructions

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Reading this post on "casual instructions" reminded me to recommend a
superb, wonderful new book that we just received, entitled:

"Follow the Yellow Brick Road: Learning to Give, Take, and Use
Instructions," (ISBN 0-553-07425-3).

It's written by Richard Saul Wurman, the fellow who authored "Information
Anxiety." (John Sculley, of Apple, provides the book's introduction.) This
new book is truly an inspiration between covers - it has lots of
illustrations, sidebars, jokes, serious talk, quotes from the famous (e.g.,
"Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify," -
Ambrose Bierce), a bibliography, etc.

Of special interest: chapter 11 of this book examines the problems in giving
instructions in properly using machines and technology, and chapter 12 is
devoted to writing instruction manuals, which will be very helpful to
librarians who are involved in writing instructions for users of various
library services and/or online databases.  But almost all librarians will
find this title very useful and practical, whether managers, bibliographic
instruction librarians, reference librarians, and anybody involved with any
kind of library-related training.

------------------------------------------

The automated Clinton/Gore mail server is available at

"clinton-wins@mail.clinton-gore.org"

This mail server recognizes requests in the "Subject:" field of
your mail message.

The entire set of commands are organized as follows.  Indentation
means that all commands in sequence are required, as in
"info issue women" or "volunteer local Illinois".  Incomplete
commands (eg "volunteer") will result in more information about
that set of commands (eg all the categories of volunteer).


    help               volunteer             question
                          local                 propose
                            (state name)        get
    info                  email                 vote
      issue                 create
        (issue name)        monitor
      voting                flyers
      speeches              distribute       suggest
      local                 ftp                 propose
        (state name)        professional        get
                            business            vote
    add/remove              teacher
      issue                 student
        (issue name)        scientist
      local                 organize         bug
        (state name)
      news


Complete words will not be required as of 9/3/92 -- only
enough to dis-ambiguate your command from any other.


The "add" commands will put you on a relevant discussion list,
while the "info" commands will simply send you the latest
broadcasts out of Little Rock (or your state HQ in the case of
"info local <state>").

The "suggest" and "question" commands allow you to make your
thoughts known to Little Rock HQ.  When enough questions/suggestions
and votes have been accumulated, the winners will be passed along to
Little Rock for comment.  We will then make the results known
via our "volunteer email distribute" network.

It is indeed good to know that there is life out there.
Perhaps someone cld help me out and provide a thumbnail sketch of what exactly
cultural studies entails.  My understanding of rhetorical theory is customized
to literature of the english renaissance and, admittedly, rather elementary:
To or for whom, by whom, in what form, and for what purpose.
Though I find myself looking into elizabethean culture--it is always through th
e lense of a canonical work.  I wld be interested to know what texts cultural
studies tends to emphasize (even though an underlying principle may be [?] that
everything is a text) or priveldge.
And, this might seem an absurd question, but...does 'cultural studies mean our
particular culture? western culture? or any culture?  that is, does it look for
similarities is Culture [period]?

As to particular question of texts:  I know just the person to ask and will get
back to you on that. Ted Armstrong
