Abstract

This paper describes the background underlying and the methods to be used in an investigation of use of the gopher protocol for browsing and searching for information via the Internet. Networked information resources are notoriously difficult to find; gopher is one attempt to facilitate the processes of organization and retrieval in that environment. Our project will design classification schemes based on traditional library models (i.e. Dewey and Library of Congress) and compare use of these to use of an existing gopher. We describe the project, the research questions, literature on related issues, the construction of the classification schemes, and the experimental methodology used

Abstract

This article discusses the history and emergence of non-library commercial and noncommercial information services on the World Wide Web. These services are referred to as "expert services," while the term "digital reference" is reserved for library-related on-line information services. Following suggestions in library and information literature regarding quality standards for digital reference, researchers make clear the importance of developing a practicable methodology for critical examination of expert services, and consideration of their relevance to library and other professional information services. A methodology for research in this area and initial data are described. Two hundred forty questions were asked of 20 expert service sites. Findings include performance measures such as response rate, response time, and verifiable answers. Sites responded to 70% of all questions, and gave verifiable answers to 69% of factual questions. Performance was generally highest for factual type questions. Because expert services are likely to continue to fill a niche for factual questions in the digital reference environment, implications for further research and the development of digital reference services may be appropriately turned to source questions. This is contrary to current practice and the emergence of digital reference services reported in related literature thus far.

Abstract

Describes the Internet Public Library (IPL), a WWW based service provided by staff at the University of Michigan School of Information which makes available a wide range of full text files arranged according to the DDC and which tries to replicate many of the features of a public library in a Web environment. Outlines the ideas and work behind the IPL, from the original conception and initial set of projects through to current endeavours. Emphasis is given to questions asked about the nature of librarianship is a digital environment and projects and services that attempt to answer those questions
