Abstract

Presents a state of the art review of WWW search engines from the earliest Internet precursors and noting: prblems inherent in the current range of WWW search engines; problems of searching the WWW (link persistence and lack of integrated search software); and analyzing the resulting search engine types (keyword or directory). Compares search engines of all types across their generic features (database content, retrieval software, and search interface), rather than on a search engine by search engine basis. Considers wider information access issues arising from the nature of the Internet and Web search engines and proposes a general strategy for using web search engines. Comments on the irony that a unitary global information space accessible via 1 freely accessible software package (WWW client browser) should be so balkanized by a plethora of search engines in complete reverse of the traditional world of printed, CD-ROM and online databases, where a limited number and comparatively stable range of search tools attemps to homogenize a large number of physically separate and disparate collections

Abstract

Examines the effects of the Internet on the work of descriptive cataloguer. Most of the effects stem from services available via the WWW and Web sites. These services either put the desriptive cataloguer in closer contact with suppliers, publishers, or vendors,or offer access to a vast range of reference or cataloguing information. Such services provided by the WWW will have a profound influence on the practice of descriptove cataloguing

Abstract

Although research and teaching can (and should) be seen as international, there must also be an underlying national focus, based on the structure of higher education in a particular country and a corresponding unique pattern of teaching and research. This column therefore looks at research and teaching in metadata in the UK and Ireland, since I work at Strathclyde University in the UK that teaches and researches metadata. This column illustrates that, indeed, the current state of research and teaching in metadata is currently healthy in the UK and Ireland. There are a variety or research activities related to metadata taking place. These range from metadata for digital preservation through 'mainstream' metadata applications in library and information work to contributing to work an the semantic web itself. Among the leading organisational foci of metadata research in the UK are: - the Metadata Group at UKOLN (formerly the UK Office of Library and Information Networking) at the University of Bath (http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/) - the Semantic Web Research Group at the Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) at the University of Bristol (http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk/discovery/) - the Centre for Digital Library Research (CDLR) at the University of Strathclyde (http://cdlr.strath.ac.uk/).
