New experimental methods has resulted in increasing amount of genetic interaction data to be generated every day. Biological networks are used to store genetic interaction data gathered. Increasing amount of data available requires fast large scale analysis methods. Therefore, we address the problem of querying large biological network datasets.…

The author proposes a system using the HUC to identify all information and knowledge which can be reduced to a written, pictorial, oral, or machine readable record. The code designations, which may consist of letters, numerals, and other symbols and which average 12 to 18 characters in length, provide information in 12 fields: type of material,…

Of the problems discussed, those posing the greatest obstacle for the full utilization of microform systems are: (1) the problem of identifying the material on microforms when it is associated with key words in computerized digitalized systems; (2) the problem of copyright in converting collections of material into microform stores; and (3) the…

Subjects covered in this bibliography include manual, mechanized and automated techniques, evaluation of systems, standards, storage and retrieval systems, research, vocabularies, author participation, permuted title indexing, citation indexing, and specialized indexing requirements, i.e. chemistry, medicine, patents, engineering drawing, and…

The aim of the conference was to hold a working discussion on problems essential to the building of thesauri, a uniform comprehension of which would make it possible to build them in a manner ensuring easier communication and exchange of information between information systems covering different ranges of subject matter, and using different…

Describes the evolution of computerized information storage and retrieval from its mid-nineteenth century beginnings in theoretical works on logic by George Boole, to the applications of Boole's logic to switching circuits by Claude Shannon in the 1930s, to the development of coordinate indexing by Mortimer Taube in the 1940s and 1950s. (Contains…

With a view to improving information systems and services in Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa, this Information Systems Workshop was organized by the East and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI) with assistance from the Coordinating Centre for Regional Information Training (CRIT). The specific aims of the workshop were to acquaint…

Designed to be a foundation work, this book about information storage and retrieval includes discussions of theory as well as descriptions of practice. It is intended for: (1) students at both the graduate and non-graduate level who are beginning formal studies of librarianship/information science; (2) staff of library/information units who have…

Nineteen documents on various aspects of information science are included in this introductory book of readings. The documents were selected because they are relatively easy to read for beginning students and are likely to be useful for a number of years. The documents cover the literature from 1958 to 1970. They are: (1) Information Science: What…

The symposium, organized by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) with the cooperation of the Association of International Libraries (AIL), International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), and International Federation for Documentation (FID), brought together 274 participants having a professional interest in the…

A total of 901 printed materials of several varieties--including books, papers, journal articles, conference reports and other documents--are listed. The majority of the works cited were published within the last few years, but some older materials are included; the collection as a whole is intended for librarians, information specialists, and…

This collection of 22 papers from the Conference on Information in the Language Sciences held in Warrenton, Va., in 1966, sponsored by the Center for Applied Linguistics, stresses three themes: general trends, information needs of the languages sciences, and system design. Discussions attempt to formulate modern rational approaches to the complex…

The thesaurus is divided into two parts. The first part lists descriptor terms under eight main areas of concern in foreign language instruction; the second lists terms alphabetically and includes "use" and "use for" notations. More that 500 descriptors are included. An introduction describes the work of the Information Center for Research in…

In 1965 the Syracuse University School of Library Science held a symposium to explore the nature of the relationship between the structure and transmission of knowledge, on the one hand, and the array of bibliographic devices which have been developed to facilitate access to that knowledge, on the other. Papers presented discussed the need for a…

Improvements in the technology associated with the information sciences will have their primary potential impact on the distribution of costs, information flow level, information availability, and use among information channels. This improvement implied not only a capability to perform a given function, but a lower cost. For example, the trend…
