    Abstract
    An experiment was carried out to study the effect of coding, as an independent variable, on the information retrieval process. A simple prime number coding scheme was utilized in conjunction with Goffman's indirect method file structuring and searching technique. The results demonstrated that a code, in itself, can affect retrieval. It introduces a noticeable viriable into the process. Generally, coding has been considered a minor element, but clearly much more needs to be learned about how codes interact with the other functions in the retrieval system

    Abstract
    An important indicator of a maturating Internet is the development of metrics for its evaluation as a practical tool for enduser information retrieval. However, the Internet presents specific problems for traditional IR measures, such as the need to deal with the variety of classes of retrieval tools. This paper presents a metric for comparing the performance of common classes of Internet information retrieval tool, including human indexed catalogs of web resources and automatically indexed databases of web pages. The metric uses a relevance-based quantitative measure to compare the performance of endusers using these Internet information retrieval tools. The benefit of the proposed metric is that it is relevance-based (using enduser relevance judgments), and it facilitates the comparison of the performance of different classes of IIR tools

    Abstract
    The growing number of networked information resources and services offers unprecedented opportunities for delivering high quality information to the computer desktop of a wide range of individuals. However, currently there is a reliance on a database retrieval model, in which endusers use keywords to search large collections of automatically indexed resources in order to find needed information. As an alternative to the database retrieval model, this paper outlines the classical digital library model, which is derived from traditional practices of library and information science professionals. These practices include the selection and organization of information resources for local populations of users and the integration of advanced information retrieval tools, such as databases and the Internet into these collections. To evaluate this model, library and information professionals and endusers involved with primary care medicine were asked to respond to a series of questions comparing their experiences with a digital library developed for the primary care population to their experiences with general Internet use. Preliminary results are reported
