E-LISKatalogisierung unter den Gesichtspunkten der BenutzerInnenfreundlichkeit und Kompatibilität : am Beispiel des Österreichischen Literaturarchivs der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek und der Handschriftensammlung der Wiener Stadt- und Landesbibliothek im Vergleich mit einem internationalen Beispiel (Manuscript Collections der British Library)AndreaHipfingerauthor The study aims to clarify whether or not the method of cataloguing used by the Handschriftensammlung of the Wiener Stadt- und Landesbibliothek and the Österreichisches Literaturarchiv of the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek fulfil the needs of the user and if the information being provided by the data base is enough. Last but not least the question of using standards is very important, because otherwise the library cannot become a member of cooperation, g.ex. MALVINE or LEAF. The research methods have taken a combined approach that has included both quantitative and qualitative research methods. On the one hand interviews were conducted to find out, what the users want and on the other hand the information provided by the data base was analysed. The results of the interviews show that the users are mostly satisfied with the information. There were some things mentioned which could certainly be improved. The conclusion was drawn that there are a number of benefits for the libraries if they take part in cooperation. Recommendations for further actions have been made by proposing a catalogue of measures on how the databases should be changed. Furthermore the fact that cooperations are considered as important by users should receive attention.DL. Archives.IA. Cataloging, bibliographic control.HC.
