Abstract

Previously in Aslib Proceedings, there appeared a short report of the proceedings of the first seminar for users of the London Classification of Business Studies (LCBS) and the steps being taken to prepare a revised edition of the scheme. Since then there has been a considerable amount of progress: the Working Party set up as a result of the first seminar has held several lively meetings; a questionnaire has been sent to users (and some non‐users) of LCBS to obtain their views on its good and bad points and the direction which the proposed revision should take. There have been two further seminars for users, one at London in 1974 and the other at Oxford in 1976. Most important, a grant of £6,000 has been awarded by the Social Science Research Council to Ken Bakewell, who will act as Executive Editor of the revised edition working in close collaboration with the original authors and helped by a Research Assistant, David Cotton, who will have the important task of testing the revised schedules and visiting major users so that their views and amendments can be taken into consideration in the revision.

Abstract

Describes an investigation, by six former postgraduate students of Information and Library Studies of the motivation of 30 professional library staff. The questionnaires, designed by the students in consultation with lecturing staff and senior library staff were completed by the students during interviews lasting from ten minutes to two hours. Staff tended to be disatisfied with pay and opportunities for promotion and would have liked more training and better communications.

Abstract

The London Classiffcation of Business Studies (LCBS) has now been published for 3 years and is used by at least 17 British and 11 overseas libraries. Twenty‐eight users might not seem a great many, but for a specialist scheme it really represents a significant impact. The first impression of 400 copies was sold out within a year, and 200 copies of the second impression (June 1971) had been sold by the end of March 1973. It is reasonable to suppose that these 600 copies are having some influence on the organization of business literature throughout the world, and that more libraries are considering adopting LCBA than the six known to the London Business School.

Abstract

CONCLUDING THAT much of the ennui which afflicted me during 1980 must have been due to my forfeiture of the mid‐winter skiing holiday to which I have become accustomed in recent years, I have arranged to be back among the mountains of Austria at the time when this issue of NLW is committed to the mercies of the postal services. (Postage rates having just gone up, do let me know if your copy reaches you earlier than usual — that would be called ‘productivity’!).
