Langschied, Linda And Others Access to Information Cataloging College Libraries Computers Databases Higher Education Library Collection Development Library Education Library Networks Library Planning Library Services Numeric Databases Policy Formation The Task Force on Numeric Data in Machine-Readable Form at Rutgers University Libraries was formed in February 1991. The group was made up of librarians representing all of the Rutgers campuses and areas of library services such as public services, collection development, and technical services. The charge to the task force was to: (1) recommend collection development policies related to numeric data in machine-readable form; (2) recommend appropriate levels of service; (3) determine the training and skills needed to provide service; (4) recommend policies on access and hardware; (5) recommend policies on cataloging; and (6) recommend a plan for implementing these recommendations. The task force's recommendations in these areas are included in this paper, as are certain key recommendations which are highlighted at the outset of the report. These key recommendations include creating a Machine-Readable Data Files (MRDF) Committee, forming a university-wide network to be known as RUNet, providing immediate action to address Government Printing Office (GPO) data in the libraries, and investigating the possibility of centralizing data services. Appended to the paper are the collection development policy statement for MRDF, a collection profile of MRDF, and descriptions and names of scientific data sources. (MAB) |
