National Informatics Centre (KIC), Electro-nics Commission, New Delhi, has been involvedin assisting various ministries/departments ofGovernment of India and associated semi-government and autonomous organisations, inthe development of computerised informationsystems. To achieve this, NIC has establisheda large computing facility along with necessarymanpower for maintenance, software develop-ment, data preparation, etc. The departmentallibrary of Electronics Commission, whichcaters to scientific, technical and techno-eco-nomic information requirements of the staff,has been making use of the computer for lib-rary and information management.

The paper, beginning with a brief sketchof earlier work, reports the features of a Com-

puter Assisted Library and Information Manage-ment System (CALThJS) developed on CYBER170/730 system at NIC.

2 EARLIEr "'ORK

During 1977-80 an experimental bibliographicdata base was developed on an HP-21 tvIX mini-computer using Il\IAGE 2000 data base manage-ment software [2] . The data base wa dcsiglledmainly to facilitate information retri. usingdescriptors (subject terms), UD.C. CL., Num-bers and for producing classified lists. The re-trieval system was tested with a small groupof users. Queries were accepted through 'SearchRequest' forms and converted to search expre-'l<.m(&1 by the library staff. These search ex-pressions were then used to perform retrieval.Search was limited to a maximum of 6 des-criptors, with provision for providing thresholdvalues (minimum number of descriptors that areto be present in the retrieved document) for re-trivel. During this period, software programswere also developed to produce KWIC/KWOCtype indices for an input text. These programswere used to test the feasibility of using KWIC/KWOC type indices as a means for quicklyproducing current awareness bulletins forarticles appearing in recent periodicals, newbooks added to the library, etc.

Although the results of these experimentswere encouraging, they also indicated the needfor a much more comprehensive system which -

integrates and inter-relates differentlibrary subsystems so as to avoid dupli-

cation of data shared by them and toproduce several outputs using a singleinput (a bibliographic.record),

provides an easy method for data input,modification, retrieval and reportsgeneration,

gives scope for the end user himself tointeract with the data base 10 an userfriendly environment, and

makes it possible to produce exception(ad-hoc) reports without the need forspecial programming.

3 DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRESENTSYSTEM

Experience gained on the minicomputer systemformed the basis for developing the presen tversion of the system. Development of thissystem was initiated with the installation ofCDC CYBER 170f720~ computer system duringthe middle of 1980 (upgraded to 170/730 inMay 1983). CYBER 170/'730 is a general pur-pose main frame computing system with power-ful time-sharing and networking capabilitiesalong with interactive terminal facilities. Afeasibility/requirements study was made inAugust, 1980 to identify the features requiredin the computer based library system to bedesigned. Due to advantages mentioned else-where in this article, (section 10) data baseapproach was adopted for implementing thesystem. System development started in Sep-tember 1980 and the prototype system wasready in December, 1980. After testing theprototype model with actual (live) data, pre-sent version of the system was installed inApril,198l.

The system was developed wiin the follow-ing specific objectives:

i) to provide users rapid access to biblio-graphic information in an interactive,online mode;

ii) to provide an easy to use language sothat the non-computer personnel canuse it;

106

iii) to bring out information services likecurren t awareness services, selectivedissemination of information (SDI),etc.;

iv) to facilitate compilation of biblio-graphies, digests, abstract bulletins,etc., on a specific topic;

v) to facilitate preparation of van oustypes of indices; and

to perform rou tine library opera-tions such as circulation control,cataloguing, serials control, etc.

vi)

Subsystems like book acquisition, journalreceipt and claim were not included in the firstphase of system development.

4 FEATURES OF THE SYSTEM

The system has been designed around the lib-rary activities. As of now, <here are about 7000document references in the data base. The docu-ment types are books, collected works, multi-volume publications, standards, reports, jour-nals, journal articles and techno-economic newsitems appearing in daily news papers. No abs-tracts are stored. Data elements considered forthe various document types is described insection 7.

All operations like data loading, retrieval,reports generation and modification are per-formed online using video/hard copy terminalsconnected to CYBER system. Retrieval anddata modification is done in an interactivemode. The data base can also be searchedthrough computers (like HP-I000, LSI/2, etc.)connected to CYBER system by telephone or-VHF lines and operating within NICNET (NICcomputer network).

Features of different library subsystemsthat have been computerised lare described below.,

be initiated very quickly by any valid user ofthe library. Search is conducted using a simple,easy to use command language with no re-quirement on the part of the' user to know thedata base structure or programming. Systemprovides appropriate diagnostics whenever aninvalid command is entered by the user. Re-trieval can be performed through 13 accesspoints like author, keyword (subject term).u.n.c. number, publisher, etc. Queries can berefined stepwise using Boolean operators AND,OR and NOT. Search can be conducted forbooks. journals, journal articles or for all ofthem. As the search subsystem is linked tocirculation subsystem, document availabilitystatus can also be found out.

If an exact match for author or keyworddoes not occur, the system automatically dis-plays a list of alphabetically related headingsfrom which the user can choose correct head-ings(s). System also supports substring searchfor keywords using which appropriate key-words for a query can be found out. Retrievaloutputs can be either displayed on the termi-nal or printed out on the line printer.

Various commands available to the userwithin the search subsystem are given inAppendix-L. Library users have been proviicdwith a user primer which explains proeed •..resto retrieve information. \ typical query sessionis illustrated in Appendix-3.

42 Current Awareness Sennces

AIthough new document references added tothe data base are available immediately for on-line retrieval, there is a need to bring out cur-rent awareness lists to notify all users informa-tion about the new documents. The three CASproducts brought out are:

1. List of new books added (approx.monthly),

2. Selected articles from journals (approx.monthly),

3. Current new 'Jpdate (new items)(weekly).

Sample pages from a current awareness list isgiven in Appendix-4. Entries in these lists are

Vol 30 No 3-4 Sept-Dee 1983

arranged by subject class numbers with suitablealphabetical indices. There is provision forcumulating these lists periodi.cally.

43 Cataloguing

Two products related to cataloguing are pro-duced using new document information storedinto the data base. These are:

1. Author/Title Catalogue (Appendix-5)2. Book cards (Appendix-6)

In the author/title catalogue. full entry is givenunder each heading with title entry for referencedocuments. The printed catalogue has replacedthe manually prepared 5" x 3" card cataloguefor new books added to the library. The printedcatalogue is cv.nulated once in six months. Thecatalogue is in double column format with theauthor/title entries arranged in a single alpha-betical sequence. TIle book cards are kept inbook pockets and used for issue/return pur-poses.

44 Current Serials Control

Presently only informational (catalovue ) andholdings data for current journals received inthe library are stored in the data base.lt does notinclude subscription, receipt and claim aspects.Besides using the catalogue and holdings data foronline retrieval, following reports are generatedfor the curren t journals:

1. Main list (alphabetical) giving com-plete description of each journal(Appendix- 7),

2. u.n.c. Index,

3. Permuted keyword index.

4. Journal type index,

5. KWIC title index.

Reports at Sr. Nos. 2-5 list only the journaltitles under the respective index headings,with complete details of the journal being avail-able under each title in the first report. Inpermuted keyword index, journal title is postedunder each keyword (thesaurus controlledterm}, with remaining keywords provided justbelow the title. Each journal has been assignedone or more type for e.g., .popular. statistical

data, abstracting, indexing, etc. This is used toproduce journal type index.

Journal data is usually updated annually,with modifications being incorporated as andwhen noticed.

45 Circulation Control

Issue/return transactions of documents, col-lected at the circulation counter, become inputto updation of the circulation subsystem.Functions performed in this subsystem are asfollows:

1. Maintenance of current borrower's in-formation,

2. Issue/returns updation, and

3. Reminders generation for overduebooks and journals (Appendix-8).

As soon as a return has been made for a docu-ment, the issue and return data is removedfrom the circulation subsystem in the database and transferred to an external file. Thisdata, accumulated over a period of time, willbe used to make document usage patternstudies. Besides the functions mentioned above,circulation subsystem has capabilities to informwhen a user is over-borrowing, assist in givingquickly no-due certificates to resigned staff,assist in stock verification, etc.

46 Preparation of Indices, Compilation ofBibliographies, Digests, etc.

KWIC and KWOC type indices can be pre-pared for any input text. A sample page fromKWIC index to journal titles is given inAppendix-g. Retrospective search on the database is performed to compile bibliographies onspecific topics.

5 ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A-TION

Work on HP 21 MX rrumcornputer had indi-cated the need for a system which integratesdifferent library subsystems. It was realisedthat using conventional file managemen t soft-ware to design such a system will be very tedi-ous, complex and the resulting-:ystem quiterigid. Da ta base approach was considered suit-

108

able for designing the library system. CYBER170/720 system (now 170/730) supported aversatile, general purpose data base manage-ment software called IMF (Information Manage-ment Facility) with interfaces to applicationprograms in COBOL, FORTRAN, etc. It wasdecided to use L\IF as a tool for implementingthe library system. Steps followed in developingthe production system are briefly describedbelow (Fig. 1).

Step 1: Feasibility/Requirements Study

First step was to iden tify the features requiredin the system to be designed. Besides the ex-perience in handling user queries manually andusing the data base developed on HP 21 MXComputer, relevant literature on library auto-mation was also scanned to identify the requiredfeatures. The following factors were taken intoconsideration in system design:

a) objectives of the system,

b) library subsystems to be considered forautomation, in different phases,

c) scope of the system with respect tosubject, document types, level of opera-tion,

d) users of the system,

/?, nature of queries to be handled,

f) expected benefits from the system,

g) different operations to be performed,

h) requirements for searching the database,

i) mode of data input,

j) input record types and their descrip-tion, and

k) volume of data involved.

Step 2: Designing the systemSys tern design was made keeping in view thefeatures identified in the requirements study.Basic aim at this stage was (i) to identify datadements and their relationships, (ii) to trans-form these relations into structures required byIlvlF, so that information can be manipulatedeasily to meet differe"';t requirements. Specifi-cally, following steps were involved in this stage:

a) Identification of information to bestored into the data base in terms ofelements. A close study of (i) queriesto be handled by the system, (ii) out-puts and reports to be produced, and(iii) inputs/outputs and operations per-formed in the existing system, revealedthe data elements. Such a study wasmade for each subsystem.

b) Grouping, naming and characterising ofdata elements. Grouping was madeaccording to relationships exhibited bythe data elements. Unique names(Codes) were assigned to data elementsfor brevity, identification and manipu-lation. Characteristics of data elementsin terms of data type (numerical/alpha-betic/alphanumeric), length, etc. wasspecified. This stage also involvedidentification of constraints within andamong groups that is to be observedwhile performing any operation ondata in the data base.

c) Diagramatic representation of data ele-men ts, their groups, relations betweengroups, and constraints are illustratedin Fig.3.

d) Matching of the diagramatic representa-tion with queries and functions identi-fied in the requirements study to makefurther modifications in the model.

Step 3 : Implementation

Resul ting data base model was converted to IMFschemes (conceptual, internal and external) anda prototype system was designed. Applicationprograms in COBOL were developed for dataloading and retrieval. Actual data was loadedinto the system and tested for a period of threemonths. Discrepancies and problems noted atthis stage formed basis for modifying the proto-type system. After incorporating modificationsin the data base structure, present version ofthe system was installed. Application programswere developed for data validation, loading, re-trieval and report generation for different sub-systems.

6 WORKFLOW WITHIN THE SYSTEM

Information about new documents added to thelibrary undergo several operations before it isstored in the data base and available for subse-quent manipulation. These operations fall intoa well defined sequence and are common forupdating information for all library subsysems.

It may be noted here that only data which isunique for a particular subsystem enters thedata base separately whereas data shared bymore than one subsystem, for ego catalogueinformation, is entered only once. Major stepsinvolved in data base updation is shown inFig. 2 and these are described briefly below.

COMPUTER' ASSISTED LIBRARY AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

61 Data Capture and Analysis

Data specific to each subsystem is collected atthe location where corresponding manual opera-tions are being done in the library. Further, datais analysed to identify the data elements thatare to be stored into the data base. For example,in the cataloguing subsystem, a document isanalysed for its subject content in terms of classnumber (U.D.C.), Keywords (subject terms) andfor bibliographic details. This also includes con-trolling the vocabulary using thesauri such asINSPEC, NCC computing terms, ROOT the-saurus (BSI), etc.

62 Coding

Data input sheet specific to the subsystem isfilled-up. At this step special care is taken tostandardise the names and headings of pub-lishers, corporate authors, etc. using directory(look-up) lists generated from the data basetime to time. A code of instructions have beenprepared to assist persons involved in coding.

63 Conversion of Data to Machine ReadableForm

Data input sheets are submitted to the DataPreparation Unit along with information such asrecord format, length, special characters, fieldjustification etc. Key-punch operators transferdata onto magnetic tapes using key-to-tapemachines.

64 Data Validation

Hard copy listing of the data on tape is takenand proof read using data input sheets to detectkey punching/transcription errors. These correc-tions are made online using the editor availableon the computer system. Edited data file isvalidated using validation programs to identifyincompatibilities among different data ele-ments of a document, e.g., an author with-out author type (personal, editor, translator,etc.), a conference document without con-ference date etc. Any violations of predefineddata characteristics are also identified, e.g.,an invalid document type, accession nurn-

Vol 30 No 3-4 Sept·Dee 1983

ber being non-numeric, etc. Diagnostics gene-rated by validation program is used to correctall the errors in the input data. During valida-tion, error free records are reformatted intostructures defined in the data base schemes,and the reformatted records are written on totemporary working files.

65 Loading of Data

These working files are input to loader pro-grams which identify the input records andstore them at proper locations in the database. Data incompatible with predefined struc-tures/constraints in the data base are displayedfor proper action to be taken. Such incom-patibilities may arise, e.g., when attempt ismade to store a document with an accessionnumber already existing in the data base.

66 Retrieval/Report Generation.

Data once loaded becomes an integral part ofthe data base and is available to all relevantreport generation and retrieval programs. Mostof the reports circulated to library users aregenerated immediately after loading the data.Directory listings of publishers, corporateauthors, keywords, etc. which are required bythe library staff are produced after 3 or 4batches of data sheets have been stored in thedata base. Reports that require searching,matching, special formatting, etc. are pro-duced using application programs. Simple,ad-hoc reports are generated using the querylanguage (IMFQU), which forms part of DBMSsoftware.

67 Spelling/Format Error Corrections

Inspite of care taken at coding, validationand loading stages. many spelling and formaterrors get accumulated over a period of time.Most frequently these errors occur in title,keyword, author and publisher fields. Sucherrors are corrected using an application pro-gram which accepts, interactively ,correct valuesand modifies error fields. Errors in data fieldslike page numbers, date of publication, classnumber, etc. are corrected using the querylanguage. Interactive data modification 'isillustrated in Appendix-If).

7 DATA ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION

RAJASHEKAR

The study made to identify features of thesystem (Section 5) took into consideration dataelemen ts required to support different sub-systems. Documents like UNISIST ReferenceManual were used to select data elements.Exhaustivity being not the primary aim, dueconsideration was given to factors like discstorage' space availability, user requirements,operational and program requirements, andcoding and data entry constraints.

Table in Appendix-2 gives list of data ele-ments in the data base and their characteristics.

8 STRUCTURING OF INFORMATION INTHE DATA BASE

Although the data base consists of differentrecord types for documen ts and other subsys-tems, all information is integrated and is avail-able within a single file. Basically, bibliographicinformation pertaining to different documenttypes is organised into three record types:

1. Main Record;2. Index Record; and3. Directory Record.

The three records are inter-related using acces-sion number (or record serial number) and thedirectory reference number.

Figure 3 illustrates a part of the data basestructure showing the record types involvedfor books, authors and keywords and theirinter-relationships. Book record, which is themain record, is linked to Author directory viaAuthor index record. Book record is also linkedto keywords in similar fashion. Lines repre-sented by arrows indicate the path (linkage)through which navigation is made from onerecord to another to obtain all related da ta.

9 COMPUTER HARDWARE/SOFTWAREDETAILS

The system reported here has been implementedon CYBER-170/730 Computer installed atNational Informatics Centre (NIC). The com-puter system has 196K memory, several peri-pheral processors, tape units, disk units andvideo/hard copy terminals. Data preparation·

112

is done using key-to-tape and key-to-floppydiskette machines.

The data base has been designed using !MF,a general purpose DBMS available on the Cybersystem. Program routines for validation, stor-ing, retrieval, report generation and modifica-tion are in ANS 1974 COBOL. Programs andfiles related to each subsystem are embeddedwithin higher level procedures which can beused easily by persons without extensive know-ledge of inner features of programs or database. All operations on the data base are per-formed online using terminals connected tothe computer. The data base is resident ononline disc and a back-up copy is maintainedon tape for quick recovery.

10 REASONS FOR USING A DBMS

A data base can be defined as a collection ofstored data organised in such a way that alluser data requirements are satisfied by thedata base. A data base management system(DBMS) is a general purpose set of softwareroutines that aid and control each user's accessto and use of the data base for adding, modify-ing and retrieving data, which also includesfacilities giving data independence, integrityand security [3] . File management systems,the forerunner of the current data base techno-logy I are systems whir:h own their own files andcontain their own internal difinition of thefile information. There is no sharing or wayto use the files by multiple users, or by userswho have different "views" of the data. Someof the major advantages of using a DBMS overfile management software are given below [1,4] :

a) DBMS decreases developmental andimplementation time since' routines fortransforming user description of datainto suitable file structures, and per-forming operations like accessing, stor-ing,-modifying etc. are inbuilt in DBMSsoftware.

b) DBMS offer facility to define differentviews of the same data, making itpossible to provide user groups theirown view of data in data base. Forexample, in a library data base, acqui-

c)

sitions section may have view of acqui-stions related data only and not circu-lation related data in the data base.

Relations existing between differentsubsystems can be more convenientlyreflected in the computerised systemimplemented using a DBMS than usingconventional file management routines.

Query language is generally part of aDBMS which can be used by non-computer personnel to interact withthe data base for ad-hoc query reportsgeneration, perform data updation andmodification, etc.

d)

e) DBMS offer greater level of data inde-pendancy. Data description is indepen-dent of programs, thus any changemade in data description does notnecessitate large scale changes inapplication programs.

DBMS offer better security measuresfor data. User groups can be prede-fined to have only certain operationalpermission on the data base like read,'write, modify etc. Also, the user can belimited to only subsets of the data basethrough the view defined for them.

Creation and maintenance of physicalfiles containing data is taken care of bythe DBMS. User need not be concernedabout how his data is physically stored,how it is fetched etc. by the DBMS.Due to this there is an increased pro-grammer productivity.

11 FEEDBACK AND USAGE PATTERNSTUDIES

2. Document usage: Issue/returns data fromthe circulation subsystem is being used to studythe documen t usage pattern among the usersof the library.

3. Information services usage: Various out-puts generated from the data base and circulatedto the users form basis for eliciting feedbackregarding the output format, arrangement, etc.

4. Library staff experience: Experience of-the library staff with the computerisedsystemat different stages like input preparation; 're-"ports generation, retrieval, terminal usage, etc.provide feedback regarding any drawbacks/inconveniences in the system.

Modifications that are to be made in thesystem, as a result of these usage studies, arebeing collected together for incorporating intothe system in the next revision. However, minormodifications like changing print formats, vali-dation criteria, etc. are made immediately.

12 FURTHER WORK

In subsequent phases of system development,following subsystems will be incoporated intothe data base:

1. Book acquisition,

2. Journal subscription, receipt andclaims,

3. Enhancing of current awareness ser-vices to SDI,

4. Administration and planning which in-cludes monitoring, performance evalua-tion, budgeting, etc.

13 CONCLUSIONS

Although many libraries in India are makingLibrary and data base usage IS being studied, use of computers, they have mostly limitedfrom the following points: themselves to developing isolated applications.

Major reasons for this have been non-availabi-lity of computer resources and suitable soft-ware. However, with rapid developments beingmade in microelectronics, data base and relatedtechnologies, more and more powerful com-puting systems, at prices much lower than pre-sent day figures, will be 'available in the market

1. Retrieval subsystem usage: A copy of thecommands used by enquirers while conductingonline search is automatically maintained. Be-sides the verbal comments received from users,a close study of the commands used can revealthe problems in this subsystem.

in near future. These developments will pro-vide excellent opportunities for libraries inIndia to automate their operations. But, in-order to obtain full benefits of automation,libraries should utilise such opportunities fordeveloping integrated library systems. Workreported in this paper is an attempt in thisdirection.
