    Abstract
    The deployment of campus computer networks, combined with the evolution of tools like Gopher and WWW, have made it possible for universities to make available online versions of documents traditionally offered in paper form. The term 'campus-wide information system' or CWIS refers to a system that brings together online documents and ways to access campus computing resources under a single comprehensive umbrella. Describes the origins of the CWIS concept, listing pioneering CWIS sites in the US. Offers advice on building a CWIS including: choosing a platform; the root menu and organization of documents; types of information to offer and documenting the documents

    Abstract
    A new Web based service, Northern Light, aims to serve large populations of users, by delivering high-quality content on both general and narrow topics. Analyzes the trends that have led to an explosion of access to information on the Internet, but also to difficulties in finding relevant, quality information. Describes the Northern Light search engine which improves naive user searching through its innovative refinement scheme Custom Search folders, but also offers a more sophisticated search syntax for finer control. Searching is free, as is access to many Web Sies, but access to full text articles from a special collection of journals is fee-based. Advocates this free saerch / pay for content payment model for the wider information industry

    Abstract
    Reports on the Infonortics '98 conference on 'Search Engines and Beyond', held at Boston, Massachusetts, 1-2 April 1998. Presenters included some of the leading developers of search engine technology as well as researchers in the field of information retrieval (IR). Summarizes papers on the following topics: the state of IR today; statistical approaches to IR; the history of enhanced statistical engines and commercial online services; new features in Web search engines; Inktomi full text index services; distributed searching; natural language processing and linguistics-based applications; Northern Light service features; challenges to IR including knowledge management systems using Adaptive Probabilistic Concept Modelling; Verity's Knowledge Organizer product; cross-language retrieval; image analysis products and video processing software; trends in knowledge extraction tools; the state of the information industry; the expectations of end users; and the development of tests for measuring search engine technology
