3. AUDIO MATERIALS
◦ Instructional materials that uses
listening as the primary process of
communication.
◦ It includes recorded tapes, sound
tracks from motion pictures and
sound television

4. TYPES
A. COMPACT DISC
◦They are primarily the sound recording medium for
media center
ADVANTAGES:
1)The CD can play a selection in any desired
sequence.
2)Selections can be repeated as needed.
3)Better fidelity is possible because the range of
intensity is more discriminating providing a greater
sound quality.
4)Sound quality is not lost with frequent playing.

5. 5)Signals are digital and are not as prone to wear.
6)They do not damage easily, making them ideal for
school use
7)They are not expensive and are easy to use, as
their players as well
DISADVANTAGES:
1)When CD‘s are used with large groups,
amplifiers are needed.
2)They can be easily stolen.

28. MICROFORMS
BRIEF HISTORY
◦ Microforms existed in some form since
the turn of the 20th
century.
◦ In the 1980‘s art and medical libraries
used micro formats for images and print
catalogs were transferred to microfiche
in some libraries

29. It is a reproduction of other graphic
matter which cannot be utilized without
magnification
It is a name given to any
microphotography produced of
magnification
They consist of rolls or single sheets of
photographic films with miniaturized
images of pages of text or diagrams
They are also called as microcopy

30. CLASSIFICATIONS:
1)MICROFILMS
-A film which carries a photographic record
on a reduced scale of printed material
-It is convenient for storage and
transportation
-it can accommodate between 1,000 and
1,500 per 100 foot roll of 32 film(the standard
size used in libraries)

32. 2) MICROFICHE
-Contains rows of micro images of pages,
cards, or other printed materials on a small
transparent film card at a very great reduction.
-a convention fiche can store up to 98 pages
of text
-it can hold between 60-98 page per sheet in
its standard form (these version called ultrafiche
that can hold larger numbers of pages.)

35. 3) MICROPRINTS
-contains images which are placed on the
sheets of rows
-a microphotograph of a printed materials
reproduced in printed form on 6-9 inch cards or
sheets.

37. 4)MICROCARDS
-it may contain up to 80 pages of printed
material and images placed on the 3x5 card
in rows

39. ADVANTAGES/USES/PURPOSES OF MICROFORMS
To preserve information which has been on poor-
quality, perishable paper.
To duplicate material quickly and inexpensively.
To protect valuable material against loss.
To restore out-of-print books to in-print statuses.
To store and retrieve bits of data from large data
bases
To save storage space
For food alternative format, for rare and archival
materials

40. EVALUATION:
Image magnification
Format (microfilm, reel form, or fiche)
Machinery
Polarity
◦The film is positive or negative (negative or
positive)

42. ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
HISTORY
Began with the development of computer-
assisted typesetting and printinting. The
publishers of indexing and abstracting services
first used computers to print their paper
products. They created magnetic tapes that were
interpreted by a computer and drove their
printers.

43. 05/11/16
 Companies and government agencies such as
the national library of Medicine in the United
States, developed computer software that
could read and manipulate the information on
these tapes in new ways. This softwares
allowed reference librarians in those
organizations to ask the computer to search for
an indexed term or a group of terms to see if
there were bibliographic citations to articles on
these tapes that would meet the information
nedds of users.

44. 05/11/16
NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS
◦ Are storage formats that allow data compact
storage of large quantities of information and
also allow data manipulation. (Evans)
◦ It is a piece of information that is stored
electronically, which is usually found in a
computer including information from the
internet

45. ◦ It is resource which require computer access
or any electronic product that delivers a
collection of data, be it text referring to full
text data bases, e-journals, image collections,
other multimedia products and numerical,
graphical or time-based, as a commercially
available title that has been published with an
aim to being marketed.

46. TYPES
1)MUSIC/SOUND RECORDINGS
-music, in recorded form is available on the internet
but almost nothing exist for musical scores and there
are only few libraries which provide access to them
2)NUMERIC DATASES
-Generally, libraries acquired these data sets as
tapes that were mounted on a mainframe. A
disadvantage is that downloading large data sets takes a
long time; and advantage is that local ownership speeds
up to work.

48. 3) “TRADITIONAL” REFERENCE MATERIALS
A. Bibliographies
-these are usually the machine readable form of periodical
indexes or abstracts, and contain citations to periodical articles,
conference papers or chapters of edited books. They may also include
abstracts of items.
B. Indexes
-a reference source which provide bibliographic information
about journal articles, as well as other types of materials
C. Other reference sources
-Dictionaries, Almanacs, Encyclopedias
4)Software
-Programming tools, language, application, and data files, etc.

49. FUNCTIONS/ADVANTAGES:
Can be easier to search because they offer more varied
search options than do print-based resources
More efficient to use because there is no paper work
involved
Provide services that are not duplicated in other
formats(such as the integration of full-text articles within
periodical indexes)
More accessible than print Can save space in libraries
Easy access in the long run and easier to update

50. DISADVANTAGES
Can be prohibitedly expensive for some
libraries
Can stop working at inopportune times due
to their local networking failures or difficulties
at the central site
They can be difficult to browse through

SELECTION ON ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
1. Content considerations
- Does the electronic version has
retrospective data? Most electronic
sources do not include data prior to the
1970s or 1980s.

52. 05/11/16
- How complete is the electronic database,
especially when compared to its print
counterpart? Some electronic sources do not
include information to the same extent that
print resources do. For example graphical
information may not included on CD-ROMs due
to space considerations.

53. 05/11/16
Does the electronic resource offer any features
that are not available in the print version? For
example, most electronic resources offer
multimedia access points to the data that are not
possible with print resources and some
electronic resources can provide full-text.

54. 05/11/16
How often the information updated? While it is
generally assumed that electronic resources are
more up-to-date than print resources, this is not
always the case (especially with CD-ROMs).
Online databases are often more current than
print versions.

55. 05/11/16
2. Access considerations
-How many users will the electronic resource
accommodate at once? Will the resource be
available to an individual on a single computer
terminal, or to multiple users on a LAN, and/or
to remote users from their home or offices?
Your decision on what kind of access to provide
will depend on the amount of demand you
expect for the resources.

56. 05/11/16
How can the content of the electronic database
be accessed? What types of search options does
the resource provide? The user interface and
search strategies vary widely from one product
to another.

57. 05/11/16
3. Technical support consideration
-How much training will library personnel need
to feel comfortable using the product and how
much time will it take to train users?
-How detailed are the instructions that come
with the product? Are there online help screens?

58. 05/11/16
How reliable is the producer? Do new versions
mean reconfiguration of the system or network?
Will library employees and users have to be
retained to use the latest version of a product?
Is the system prone to technical problems? Is the
product compatible with existing hardware? Is the
publisher's technical support helpful and easily
accessible when needed?

59. 05/11/16
4. Cost considerations
-How much do updates for the product cost?
-What type of licensing arrangement will you
make? Will you pay to place the product on one
computer, mulitiple computers, or to a local are
network? pricing structures vary significantly
depending on the type of license your arange. A
license for one computer will be considerable
less expensive than a license for networked
access.

60. 05/11/16
 What kind of charges can the library expect for
initial connections or from telecommunications
provide?
What are your expected printing costs? Will you
charge patrons for printing to help compensate
for these expenses?

61. 05/11/16
5. Legal consideratons
-Provisions for payment and delivery of the
product.
-Warranties and limits
- Termination of the agreement
- Customer service information
- Responsibility of the license for the security of
the product.

62. 05/11/16
EVALUATION
EXTENSIVENESS-how much of the electronic
service users access.
SERVICE QUALITY-how well the activity is
accomplished.
IMPACT-measure of what, if any, difference the
service makes to other activities.
USEFULNESS-measure of how appropriate the
service is for a class of users or an individual.

63. 05/11/16
EVALUATION
ADOPTION- measure of how much, if at all,
users incorporate the service into individual or
organizational activities.
COST
ACCESSIBILITY

64. ACQUISITION AND ORGANIZATION
ACQUISITION:
*WAYS:
◦ Under the acquisition model, libraries make an
outright purchase of the eBooks/ own books such
as:
Pay per view model: short –term rental basis especially
eBooks.
Patron driven selection
Subscription
*CRITERIA:
-Cost, property rights, coverage , licensure issues,
agreements , technical support, training

65. ORGANIZATION:
-database brief to know scope and coverage
-journal coverage list to ensure availability of
relevant journals
-trial request to assess platform and relevance
-access by password and IP authentication
-agreement to support multi-user license
-cost of subscription
-technical support

66. STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL
 Responsibility for storage and retrieval of printed
information has traditionally rested with the librarian.
 Early libraries concentrated on arranging books in some
proscribed order on shelves.
 As the number of books increased, a complex
organization become became necessary in order to make
the contents of the library more readily accessible.
 To provide such organization, librarians developed
subject-classification schemes and the card catalog.
 These bibliographic devices now constitute the basic
structure for control of library collections and are the
fundamental findings aids that researchers employ.
