Problems of subject access: (i) automatic generation of printed indexes and online thesaural control

Abstract

A research project in progress at Middlesex Polytechnic is examining the problems of providing adequate subject access from MARC‐based cataloguing systems. Various forms of printed index are being evaluated and an experimental online public access catalogue is being designed. The PRECIS RIN file will be tested as a basis for online thesaural control and as a browsing facility.
