"Visualizing subject access for 21st century information resources: the 34th Annual Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing / sponsored by the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology in March 1997 ; edited by Pauline Atherton Cochrane and Eric H. Johnson. - Champaign, IL : GSLIS Publications Office, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. - 176p. - ISBN 0-87845-103-X: US$30.

Drawn from various communities of research and development in the U.S. and Europe, the speakers provided viewpoints as digital library developers, interface and visualization experts, bibliographic system vendors, cognitive researchers, librarians, and information service providers. Included among the topics at the 1997 clinic:

• Do the designers of digital library systems envision a role for more traditional library classification schemes and thesauri?
• What new tools exist to create visual displays of vocabulary choices and term relationships to improve browsing and search negotiation in either collections of full-text information orinformation surrogate files on the Internet, CD-ROM, etc.?
• Have cognitive research and user modeling efforts produced results which could impact subject access tool design?
• What interface, browsing, and navigation tools are on the drawing board or in prototype systems which may help to improve subject access?
• How will the new systems handle the "interspace" where switching vocabularies will be needed to access and search federated and unfederated repositories of full-text information in various languages?
