Gay Themed Books in Oregon Public and Academic Libraries: a brief
historical overview.
by Larry R. Oberg and Gary M. Klein.
Analyzed the OCLC WorldCat database to determine the number of unique titles of gay-themed books, in English,
cataloged in OCLC, by year of publication for all
OCLC participating libraries, and for 60 libraries in Oregon (18 public library
systems, 15 community colleges, 10 private religious colleges, 10 private
nonreligious colleges, and 7 state supported universities). Dates of publication
are clustered into 8 time spans. One comprehensive search statement was used to retrieve all results on March 26, 2003.
Article is supplemented by 3 publicly accessible files that are copyright

Is There a Standard Default Keyword Operator? A Bibliometric Analysis of Processing Options
Chosen by Libraries to Execute Keyword Searches in Online Public Access Catalogs.
by Gary M. Klein.
"Online catalogs from 67 libraries using NOTIS software were searched using Internet
connections to determine the positional operators selected as the default keyword operator on each
catalog. The diverse results indicated that there is no standard default positional operator."
RSR: Reference Services Review (ISSN #0090-7324), 1994, v 22, n 4, p 29-44+.
"The nature and variety of sexual activity have changed little since the dawn of humanity. However,
the language used to describe sexual activity varies with changes in social mores, religious beliefs, and
technology. Likewise, there have been various levels of acceptance and repression of different
sexual practices and open expression in literary form. In this article, Klein explores the hypothesis that
Education Index has succumbed to the same types of societal and editorial marginalization as other
indexing tools in assigning subject headings and providing cross-referenced access to literature in
the fields of sex, sex education, and sexuality. He analyzes subject headings used within Education Index
from 1929 to 1969. Despite the advent of online information retrieval systems, little has been done to
retrospectively assign modern subject headings to the literature of the past thas has been buried under
archaic subject headings."

document consists of various bibliographies, guides to research, information headlines and
services, library special collections and research institutes, electronic discussion groups, and
other sources of information concerning the general topic of homosexuality."
The Telecommunications Act of 1996: The Indecency of it All!
by Gary M. Klein.
OLA Quarterly (ISSN #1093-7374), Winter 1996, v 1, n 4, p12.
A call to arms, written in response to news that the Communications Decency Act was put into
place when President Clinton signed into place The Telecommunications Act of 1996. The CDA criminalized
the distribution of certain vaguely defined types of electronic information, while allowing the same information
to be freely and legally available in other formats.
This article originally appeared in Moveable Type the newsletter of the Mark O. Hatfield Library, in Spring 1996, and
also in the Spring 1996 issue of Scene, both of which are publications of Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.
The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same...
by Gary M. Klein.
OLA Quarterly (ISSN #1093-7374), Summer 1996, v 2, n 2.
"Despite advances in high speed telecommunications, lightning fast processors, incredibly compact storage devices,
inter-network linkages, array processing systems, and the ever declining cost of computer processing, librarians and
information seekers face the same problems they did 50 years ago when the electronic computer made its debut. The
problem: determining how to find the data that someone thought worthy of offering up for public access."
