    Abstract
    This study examines the differences between Scopus and Web of Science in the citation counting, citation ranking, and h-index of 22 top human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers from EQUATOR - a large British Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration project. Results indicate that Scopus provides significantly more coverage of HCI literature than Web of Science, primarily due to coverage of relevant ACM and IEEE peer-reviewed conference proceedings. No significant differences exist between the two databases if citations in journals only are compared. Although broader coverage of the literature does not significantly alter the relative citation ranking of individual researchers, Scopus helps distinguish between the researchers in a more nuanced fashion than Web of Science in both citation counting and h-index. Scopus also generates significantly different maps of citation networks of individual scholars than those generated by Web of Science. The study also presents a comparison of h-index scores based on Google Scholar with those based on the union of Scopus and Web of Science. The study concludes that Scopus can be used as a sole data source for citation-based research and evaluation in HCI, especially when citations in conference proceedings are sought, and that researchers should manually calculate h scores instead of relying on system calculations.

    Abstract
    After modeling expert user needs with regard to intellectual property information, we analyze and compare the main providers in this specific information area (Thomson DIALOG, Esp@cenet by the European Patent Office, Questel-Orbit, and STN International) in terms of system content and system functionality. The key question is whether the main providers are able to satisfy these expert user needs. For patent information, some special retrieval features such as chemical structure search (including Markush search), patent family references and citations search, biosequence search, and basic informetric functionality such as ranking, mapping, and visualization of information flows are realized. Considering the results of information science research, the practice of patent information shows unexhausted improvement opportunities (e.g., the application of bibliographic patent coupling and co-patent-citation for mapping patents, patent assignees, and technology specialties). For trademark search, users need multiple truncated search (realized) as well as phonetic search and image retrieval (not realized yet).

    Footnote
    Der pädagogische Anspruch des Werkes zeigt sich am deutlichsten im »nullten Band«, der »Propaedia« oder »Outline of Knowledge«. Es handelt sich um nichts weniger als den Versuch, die Gesamtheit des menschlichen Wissens säuberlich in zehn große Schubladen zu sortieren, die wieder in Unter- und Unterunterschubladen (divisions und sections) eingeteilt sind. Eine division des großen Wissensgebiets »Human Life« ist zum Beispiel »Stabes in the Development of Human Life« mit den sections »Human Evolution« und »Human Heredity«. Letztere enthalten Empfehlungen zum Weiterlesen in Micro- und Macropeadia. Wie sieht es mit Aktualität und Detailreichtum des gedruckten Werkes aus? Zumindest dem Kandidaten von »Wer wird Millionär?«, der bei der Frage nach dem zweiten Vornamen der »Harry Potter«-Autorin Joanne K. Rowling sehr ins Schwitzen geriet, hätte das Werk geholfen. Die Dame heißt »Kathleen«. Joschka Fischer wird mit einer ausführlichen Biografie gewürdigt. Diese bekommt allerdings nicht jeder Besitzer des Werkes zu Gesicht: Sie befindet sich in einem der jedes Jahr zusätzlich aufgelegten Bände »Britannica Book of the Year« - in diesem Fall von 1996. Für den Hauptteil ist unser Außenminister offensichtlich noch nicht lange genug im Geschäft. Schwieriger wird es, wenn schon die Frage nicht ganz klar ist: »Apropros Alarmanlagen. War da nicht irgendwann einmal etwas mit Gänsen, die einen Überfall verhinderten?« Unter welchem Stichwort sollte man da schauen? Gänse? Historische Überfälle? Hier hilft die elektronische Version, die schon auf die Suchbegriffe »geese« und »warning system« die Geschichte vom nächtlichen Überfall der Gallier auf Rom im Jahre 390 v. Chr. liefert. Die Begeisterung über den Erfolg darf sich aber in Grenzen halten. Die Internet-Suchmaschine Google findet die Gänsegeschichte genauso schnell, sogar in wesentlich ausführlicherer Form, desgleichen den zweiten Vornamen von Frau Rowling. Und über Joschka Fischer findet man auf dessen eigener Website noch einiges mehr als nur seine Biografie. Macht also eine gute Suchmaschine das ganze Lexikon entbehrlich? Ich glaube nicht. Die Encyclopaedia beantwortet doch noch mehr Fragen als das Internet. Vor allem aber kann man den Antworten in (fast) jeder Hinsicht vertrauen. Für Recherchezwecke ist die gedruckte Form der »Britannica« der digitalen eindeutig unterlegen. Letztere wird immerhin vierteljährlich aktualisiert; außerdem bietet sie vielfältige Suchstrategien, zusätzliche Bilder, Videos, Animationen, den Online-Zugriff auf mehrere tausend Zeitschriftenartikel, Videoclips und Verweise auf Zigtausende von Websites, die eigens von den »Britannica«-Redakteuren ausgewählt wurden. Ist es also reine Nostalgie - vielleicht sogar Snobismus -, sich die Prachtbände ins Regal zu stellen? Vielleicht mag es ja Leute geben, die ganze Kapitel am Bildschirm lesen oder sich ausdrucken. Wenn es um Lernvergnügen und nicht nur um kurze Fakteninformation geht, dann ist für mich ein Buch in den meisten Fällen die bessere Wahl. Durch die pädagogische Sorgfalt der Redakteure fühlt sich der Leser eingeladen, sich einen Überblick über ganze Gebiete zu verschaffen und nicht nur schnelles Wissen abzugreifen. Wo ein Kapitel bis zu 300 Seiten lang sein kann, da ist die Buchform sehr willkommen. Und ganz ehrlich - ein bisschen Tradition und Nostalgie schadet nicht. Die Herausgeber pflegen diese Tradition auf besondere Weise. Unter http:// www.1911encyclopedia.org ist die Originalausgabe der »Britannica« von 1911 abzurufen - kostenlos."

    Rez. in: c't 2002, H.23, S.229 (T.J. Schult): "Mac-Anwender hatten bisher keine große Auswahl bei Multimedia-Enzyklopädien: entweder ein grottenschlechtes Kosmos Kompaktwissen, das dieses Jahr letztmalig erscheinen soll und sich dabei als Systhema Universallexikon tarnt. Oder ein Brockhaus in Text und Bild mit exzellenten Texten, aber flauer Medienausstattung. Die von Acclaim in Deutschland vertriebenen Britannica-Enzyklopädien stellen eine ausgezeichnete Alternative für den des Englischen Kundigen dar. Während früher nur Einfach-Britannicas auf dem Mac liefen, gilt dies nun für alle drei Versionen Student, Deluxe und Ultimate Reference Suite. Die Suite enthält dabei nicht nur alle 75 000 Artikel der 32 Britannica-Bände, sondern auch die 15 000 der Student Encyclopaedia, eines eigenen Schülerlexikons, das durch sein einfaches Englisch gerade für Nicht-Muttersprachler als Einstieg taugt. Wer es noch elementarer haben möchte, klickt sich zur Britannica Elementary Encyclopaedia, welche unter der gleichen Oberfläche wie die anderen Werke zugänglich ist. Schließlich umfasst die Suite einen Weltatlas sowie einsprachige Wörterbücher und Thesauri von Merriam-Webster in der Collegiate- und Student-Ausbaustufe mit allein 555 000 Definitionen, Synonymen und Antonymen. Wer viel in englischer Sprache recherchiert oder gar schreibt, leckt sich angesichts dieses Angebots (EUR 99,95) die Finger, zumal die Printausgabe gut 1600 Euro kostet. Die Texte sind einfach kolossal - allein das Inhaltsverzeichnis des Artikels Germany füllt sieben Bildschirmseiten. Schon die Inhalte aus den BritannicaBänden bieten mehr als doppelt so viel Text wie die rund tausend Euro kostende Brockhaus Enzyklopädie digital (c't 22/02, S. 38). Allein die 220 000 thematisch einsortierten Web-Links sind das Geld wert. Wer die 2,4 Gigabyte belegende Komplettinstallation wählt, muss sogar nie mehr die DVD (alternativ vier CD-ROMs) einlegen. Dieses Jahr muss sich niemand mehr mit dem Britannica-typischen Kuddelmuddel aus Lexikonartikeln und vielen, vielen Jahrbüchern herumschlagen - außer dem Basistext der drei Enzyklopädien sind 'nur' die zwei Jahrbücher 2001 und 2002 getrennt aufgeführt. Wer des Englischen mächtig ist, mag hier die gute Gelegenheit zum Kauf nutzen."

    Abstract
    Wikipedia (the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit) is having a huge impact on how a great many people gather information about the world. So, it is important for epistemologists and information scientists to ask whether people are likely to acquire knowledge as a result of having access to this information source. In other words, is Wikipedia having good epistemic consequences? After surveying the various concerns that have been raised about the reliability of Wikipedia, this article argues that the epistemic consequences of people using Wikipedia as a source of information are likely to be quite good. According to several empirical studies, the reliability of Wikipedia compares favorably to the reliability of traditional encyclopedias. Furthermore, the reliability of Wikipedia compares even more favorably to the reliability of those information sources that people would be likely to use if Wikipedia did not exist (viz., Web sites that are as freely and easily accessible as Wikipedia). In addition, Wikipedia has a number of other epistemic virtues (e.g., power, speed, and fecundity) that arguably outweigh any deficiency in terms of reliability. Even so, epistemologists and information scientists should certainly be trying to identify changes (or alternatives) to Wikipedia that will bring about even better epistemic consequences. This article suggests that to improve Wikipedia, we need to clarify what our epistemic values are and to better understand why Wikipedia works as well as it does. Somebody who reads Wikipedia is rather in the position of a visitor to a public restroom, says Mr. McHenry, Britannica's former editor. It may be obviously dirty, so that he knows to exercise great care, or it may seem fairly clean, so that he may be lulled into a false sense of security. What he certainly does not know is who has used the facilities before him. One wonders whether people like Mr. McHenry would prefer there to be no public lavatories at all.
