- Abstract
- The relevance of retrieved documents or document descriptions has been a central measurement in the evaluation of information retrieval (IR) systems. Online public access catalogues (OPACs) are similar in many ways and so relevance should be an appropriate evaluation tool in measuring their performance. The development of relevance in evaluating IR systems is described and also the important differences between such systems and OPACs. Characteristics of the end-users of both systems are discussed with the conclusion that end-users' motivation and behaviour are as yet not fully understood. The implcations of this is that relevance is a central feature, but only one, of an OPAC user's overall information need

- State of the art review of enhancements in online catalogues over a 3 year period, taking for granted those features that are now standard and mainly discussing issues related to problem areas, in particular, subject access and user searching behaviour, as well as new developments that directly impinge on the catalogue's future: new interface developments and network access and resources

- Abstract
- Shortened and revised version of a paper presented during an Education Librarian's Group session at the Under One Umbrella Two Conference, organized by the Library Association in Manchester, 9-11 Jul 93. With the possibility of free text searching and easy access to CD-ROM databases, users often do not realise that subject searching is enhanced by familiarity with the controlled vocabulary underlying the indexing system of the database. Discusses the construction of information retrieval thesauri, the problems of terminology and how the use of thesauri can make searching more effective, using education thesauri as examples

- Abstract
- Purpose - The paper aims to develop a prototype middleware framework between different terminology resources in order to provide a subject cross-browsing service for library portal systems. Design/methodology/approach - Nine terminology experts were interviewed to collect appropriate knowledge to support the development of a theoretical framework for the research. Based on this, a simplified software-based prototype system was constructed incorporating the knowledge acquired. The prototype involved mappings between the computer science schedule of the Dewey Decimal Classification (which acted as a spine) and two controlled vocabularies, UKAT and ACM Computing Classification. Subsequently, six further experts in the field were invited to evaluate the prototype system and provide feedback to improve the framework. Findings - The major findings showed that, given the large variety of terminology resources distributed throughout the web, the proposed middleware service is essential to integrate technically and semantically the different terminology resources in order to facilitate subject cross-browsing. A set of recommendations are also made, outlining the important approaches and features that support such a cross-browsing middleware service. Originality/value - Cross-browsing features are lacking in current library portal meta-search systems. Users are therefore deprived of this valuable retrieval provision. This research investigated the case for such a system and developed a prototype to fill this gap.
