FIDKAR - LIBRARY DATABASE MULTIBROWSER
START BROWSER
|
NOTES on FIDKAR:
FIDKAR allows simultaneous bibliographic and catalog searches on several computer
databases. Also simultaneous search of book catalog,
periodical catalog, topical bibliographies, and the Master of Arts thesis
catalogs is possible when using FIDKAR. FIDKAR makes it easy to prepare a
bibliography of a single author picked for research/analysis or a topical
list covering books and journal articles, let alone dissertations
and chapters from collective works.
FIDKAR works with Z39.50 protocol, similar to its "Polish older
brother"-spread catalog KARO from
the Nicholas Copernicus University Library in Torun (Poland)
New to FIDKAR is a simultaneous browsing of databases containing
documents in different formats (MARC21, MARCBN, special formats for Polish
Index to Periodicals "BZCZ",
dissertations, etc.). Also new is FIDKAR, a second application
created along with FIDKAR, which is a program allowing a use of
Z39.50 protocol for MAK (a Polish library packet).
FIDKAR and FIDSERW emerged as a result of an inspiration and
commission from the Bureau of Computer Development of FIDES (Federation of
Church Libraries). Applications were prepared and configured by Michal
Marks a student at the Department of Electronics and Information Technology of the Warsaw
Polytechnics (Politechnika Warszawska).
FIDES extends its gratitude to all the mentioned above as wall as to the
librarians in the National Library in Warsaw, especially creators of the
packet MAK, for their invaluable suggestions, advice, and cordial
cooperation in creating FIDSERW program.
FIDES Federation now offers these two applications for sale at a reasonable price.
WELCOME TO FIDKAR !!!
