Computerised Referral Service : a case study
Get PDFDescribes the attempt to develop a soft-
ware package for computerised referral service taking Machine Tools as a case study. The system was developed ax DRTC using an ICL 1901 computer and the program was written in COBOL Language.The creation of the files and answering of queries are explained. Sample copies of output
are attached
Simplified procedures for the generation of POPSI entries using computer
Get PDFIn this paper, we are presenting two programs for generating POPSI entries, in which the first program is general in its application, in the sense that the input
codes decide the formation of entries especially the context terms and the second, which does not take any extra codes at the input and formulates the entries accord-
ing to a single rule
An experiment on computerised Information Retrieval System for CLRI R&D Projects : a report
Get PDFThe Author describes an experimental project
in computerised information retrieval system
for R&D projects carried out at Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), Madras. Based on 'TEXT-PAC, the system yielded encouraging results and could be further extended to cover all aspects of problems connected with R&D work including details of projectwise costing, income through royalties and consultancy, details of
equipment/appliances, deputation, training, and other related items. Based on this system, services like Technical Information Bank, CAS and SDI could be initiated
Semi-automatic method of preparing
Get PDFThis paper discusses briefly a methodology developed for the application computer for the generation of a thesaurus for a specific subject-field displaying HR and various types of NHR (3, 4). The subject strings obtained by facet anclysis and expressed in
a natural language are manipulated by computer using a suitable algorithm to generate the NT/BT links and RT links for representing the HR and the different kinds of NHR respectively identified among the enumerated concepts
BIRS/1900 - Bibliographic Information Retrieval System : a set of programs for SDI and Retrospective Search Services for an Information Service Network
Get PDFA set of programs for use in SDI and
Retrospective Search Is presented. The
system consists of six programs for
1} creation of a bibliographic database,
2) correction and updating, 3) search the
database for SDI using class numbers as
search element, 4) print the retrieved
answers, and 5) search and print the data-
base using Boolean combination of keywords
as search element. The set of programs
are written in COBOL and are simple in
their logic. Some of the modifications
required to make the system more useful
are suggested
Bibliographic Information Retrieval System using FORTRAN
Get PDFThe factors that influenced this Library
to computerise its functions are enumerated.
It is observed that a specific, mission oriented, small database is more efficient for rendering information services in special Libraries than using large, commercially available databases
Computerization in the Reactor Research Centre Library: a case study
Get PDFComputerization of Library functions has
many advantages over the manual methods if the areas to be computerized are chosen judiciously. A case study, of the different areas of the Reactor Research Centre's Library that have been computerized, is presented. The various programs that have been used, the options that have been taken for choosing the required output listings and the searches that are being conducted are described. The other areas, where proformas have been developed in high level languages like Fortran and PL1 are briefly dealt with. The factors that influenced this Library to computerise its functions are enumerated. It is observed that a specific, mission oriented, small database is more efficient for rendering information services in special Libraries than using large, commercially available databases
Data Base creation and International Format for the exchange of Bibliographical Information
Get PDFDiscusses some of the definitions pertaining to the concept of data base. Outlines briefly
the evolutionary pattern of data base concept. Considers some generic principles involved in data base design, delineating the problems involved in its creation. Explains the basic features of a
bibliographical format. States that. standardisation in bibliographical format is essential for proper exploitation and exchange of information in the
context of proliferation of machine-readable data bases in Science and Technology
