Library Journal Review

This book's stated objective is "to explain what makes a database `good.' " Jacs¢ (information and computer sciences, Univ. of Hawaii) and Lancaster (GSLIS, Univ. of Illinois) fulfill their goal, providing a thorough analysis of what to consider when developing a database. The book is divided into two sections: the first addresses database content and organization, while the second, longer section covers characteristics and capabilities of database management software. Specific functions, e.g., record structure, searching, are described and discussed, with comments about how to evaluate implementations of each function in database programs. Several software packages, including library automation and bibliographic management programs, are presented as examples. Written for librarians and others with little previous database-building experience, this offers a solid introduction. Recommended.ÄJanet Crum, Oregon Health Sciences Univ.
