british library method (foldoc) | British Library Method
Brute force searching.
According to legends circulating in the 1970s, in the British
Library books are searched for by examining each book
sequentially in the first shelf, then the next shelf,
continuing until the book is found or the entire library has
been searched.
The term was referred to in a Dutch coursebook, "Inleiding In
De Informatica" (Introduction to Informatics) from a course
given by C.H.A. Koster and Th.A. Zoethout. This was based on
a course given at the TU Berlin.

dynamic link library (foldoc) | Dynamically Linked Library
dynamic link library
(DLL) A library which is linked to {application
programs} when they are loaded or run rather than as the final
phase of compilation. This means that the same block of
library code can be shared between several tasks rather than
each task containing copies of the routines it uses. The
executable is compiled with a library of "stubs" which allow
link errors to be detected at compile-time. Then, at {run
time}, either the system loader or the task's entry code
must arrange for library calls to be patched with the
addresses of the real shared library routines, possibly via a
jump table.
The alternative is to make library calls part of the
operating system kernel and enter them via some kind of
trap instruction. This is generally less efficient than an
ordinary subroutine call.
It is important to ensure that the version of a dynamically
linked library is compatible with what the executable expects.
Examples of operating systems using dynamic linking are
SunOS (.so - shared object files), Microsoft Windows
(.dll) and RISC OS on the Acorn Archimedes (relocatable
modules).

(IPL) A project at the University of Michigan School of

provide library services to a target audience estimated to
number 1/4 of the entire American population by the end of the
century.
The Internet Public Library is scheduled to go on-line in
March 1995. Among the first services will be on-line
reference; youth services; user education; and professional
services for librarians.

Cataloging PRISM service for cataloging and resource sharing,
provides on-line reference systems for both librarians and
end-users, and distributes on-line electronic journals.
OCLC's goals are to increase the availability of library
resources and reduce library costs for the fundamental public
purpose of furthering access to the world's information. The
OCLC library information network connects more than 10,000
36,000 libraries worldwide. Libraries use the OCLC System for
cataloguing, interlibrary loan, collection development,
bibliographic verification, and reference searching. Their
most visible feature is the OCLC Online Union Catalog (OLUC)
WorldCat (the OCLC Online Union Catalog).

open graphics library (foldoc) | Open Graphics Library
OpenGL
(OpenGL) A multi-platform software
interface to graphics hardware, supporting rendering and
imaging operations. The OpenGL interface was developed by
Silicon Graphics, who license it to other vendors.
The OpenGL graphics interface consists of several hundred
functions operating on 2D and 3D objects, supporting basic
techniques, such as modelling and smooth shading, and
advanced techniques, such as texture mapping and {motion
blur}. Many operations require a frame buffer. OpenGL is
network-transparent, and a common extension to the {X Window
System} allows an OpenGL client to communicate across a
network with a different vendor's OpenGL server.
OpenGL is based on Silicon Graphics' proprietary IRIS GL.

run-time library (foldoc) | run-time library
A file containing
routines which are linked with a program at run time rather
than at compile-time. The advantage of such {dynamic
linking} is that only one copy of the library needs to be
stored, rather than a copy being included with each
executable that refers to it. This can greatly reduce the
disk space occupied by programs. Furthermore, it means that
all programs immediately benefit from changes (e.g. bug
fixes) to the single copy of the library without requiring
recompilation. Since the library code is normally classified
as read-only to the memory management system, it is possible
for a single copy of the library to be loaded into memory and
shared by all active programs, thus reducing RAM and
virtual memory requirements and program load time.

visual component library (foldoc) | Visual Component Library
VCL
VCL A application framework library for
Microsoft Windows and Borland Software Corp.'s Delphi
and C++Builder rapid application development software.
VCL was originally designed for Delphi but is now also used
for C++Builder. This replaces OWL Object Windows Library
as Borland's Windows C++ framework of choice. VCL
encapsulates the C-based Win32 API into a much easier to
use, object-oriented form. Like its direct rival,
Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC), VCL includes
classes to create Windows programs.
The VCL component class can be inherited to create new VCL
components, which are the building blocks of Delphi and
C++Builder applications. VCL components are somewhat in
competition with ActiveX controls, though a VCL wrapper can
be created to make an ActiveX control seem like a VCL
component.
