CDS/ISIS: the second decade

Alan Hopkinson

The Sheppard Library, Middlesex University, The Burroughs, London NW4 4BT, United Kingdom. A.Hopkinson{at}mdx.ac.uk

Reviews the development of UNESCO's CDS/ISIS information retrieval software over the past ten years, including the impact of the Internet, the development of CDS/ISIS for Windows and CDS/ISIS for DOS, efforts to provide continuing support for the software and the implementation of international standards in CDS/ISIS. Refers to the work of the late Giampaolo Del Bigio in developing the software. Discusses the roles of CDS/ISIS User Groups and distributors and training programmes. Notes that CDS/ISIS on CD-ROM is still useful in organizations without adequate Internet access. Identifies the available software documentation and the relationship between CDS/ISIS and integrated library systems. Discusses the future of the software and concludes that ‘CDS/ISIS deserves to survive since it enables less wealthy institutions in any part of the world to join the information society'.

Key Words: Information retrieval • Software • CDS/ISIS
