Abstract

Hartford University mounted a DRA Atlas Integrated library system in 1991, using a DECnet/Ethernet network and a VAX 6310 mainframe computer. As VAX VT320 terminals were available in many campus buildings, the library's catalogue could be searched from many locations and could be dialed up by remote users. Commercial databases in MARC format could be mounted on the system and searched with the same commands that users employed for the OPAC. Explains the use of Periodical Abstracts from UMI on the online catalogue. Discusses searching strategies and compares the Periodical Abstracts Ondisc CD-ROM with the tape loaded product

Abstract

The Z39.50 standard for information retrieval is important from a number of perspectives. While still not widely known within the computer networking community, it is a mature standard that represents the culmination of two decades of thinking and debate about how information retrieval functions can be modeled, standardized, and implemented in a distributed systems environment. And - importantly -- it has been tested through substantial deployment experience. Z39.50 is one of the few examples we have to date of a protocol that actually goes beyond codifying mechanism and moves into the area of standardizing shared semantic knowledge. The extent to which this should be a goal of the protocol has been an ongoing source of controversy and tension within the developer community, and differing views on this issue can be seen both in the standard itself and the way that it is used in practice. Given the growing emphasis on issues such as "semantic interoperability" as part of the research agenda for digital libraries (see Clifford A. Lynch and Hector Garcia-Molina. Interoperability, Scaling, and the Digital Libraries Research Agenda, Report on the May 18-19, 1995 IITA Libraries Workshop, <http://www- diglib.stanford.edu/diglib/pub/reports/iita-dlw/main.html>), the insights gained by the Z39.50 community into the complex interactions among various definitions of semantics and interoperability are particularly relevant. The development process for the Z39.50 standard is also of interest in its own right. Its history, dating back to the 1970s, spans a period that saw the eclipse of formal standards-making agencies by groups such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and informal standards development consortia. Moreover, in order to achieve meaningful implementation, Z39.50 had to move beyond its origins in the OSI debacle of the 1980s. Z39.50 has also been, to some extent, a victim of its own success -- or at least promise. Recent versions of the standard are highly extensible, and the consensus process of standards development has made it hospitable to an ever-growing set of new communities and requirements. As this process of extension has proceeded, it has become ever less clear what the appropriate scope and boundaries of the protocol should be, and what expectations one should have of practical interoperability among implementations of the standard. Z39.50 thus offers an excellent case study of the problems involved in managing the evolution of a standard over time. It may well offer useful lessons for the future of other standards such as HTTP and HTML, which seem to be facing some of the same issues.

Abstract

OPACs in an increasing number of libraries are now available using the Joint Academic Network (JANET). Access has tended to be obstructed, for the casual user, by the lengthy JANET addressing codes and varying log-on procedures required by each library system. Discribed how a communications and menu package on an IBK/PC can be used so that by merely pressing cursor control, return and escape keays, any user can gain access to any one of over 40 OPACs linked to JANET

Abstract

CD-ROM databases are finding a permanent niche in libraries and librarians are trained both to use each new product and to keep abreast of changes in them. From the library user point of view it is possible to dial into or remotely access CD-ROM databases. Discusses the use of the communications software pcAnywhere, examines the benefits to users and libraries of remote access, and lists other areas which might be of interest to learning resource centres in regard to CD-ROM services

Abstract

Computer and communications technology is having a profound impact on libraries and the way in which they serve their users. Discusses online catalogues in libraries, the development of the Internet and OSI, and the development of search and retrieve (SR) protocols to allow standardized access to library catalogues across communications networks. Considers the deployment of SR protocols, problems with interoperability of clients and servers, interlibrary loan possibilities of SR protocols, and the feasibility of electronic document delivery

Abstract

Open System Interconnection (OSI) Standard 7498 appeared in 1984. Open systems of PCs and workstations decentralize information processing and divide it between several computers, based on the client-server concept. Relevant terminology is explained, including application protocol, bases of the SR/Z39.50 model, data transmission, search request services, query types, attribute sets, transmission format, transfer syntax, solution models and cooperation between library systems

Abstract

Describes a layer model for networks. For each layer, one or more services are defined, and for each service a protocol is specified. 2 OSI application level protocols have been defined for library services: SR and ILL. The underlying layers are supposed to be OSI services, but some implementations are using TCP/IP, and some are using a mixture of OSI and TCP/IP. The systems based directly on TCP/IP can not communicate with those based purely on OSI. Discusses the pros and cons for choosing OSI or TCP/IP. Gateways between the OSI and TCP/IP networks are needed. The ISO protocol SR and the ANSI protocol Z39.50 are both 'search and retrieve' protocols. The SR is almost a subst of Z39.50, but they may become identical in the future. There is only one protocol for interlibrary loan, the ISO ILL protocol. It covers 3 models of interlibrary loan and all services connected with ILL. Other services such as Explain, Scan and Update are presently being discussed in ISO TC 46. Discusses the needs of the library community for network services such as file transfer, remote login, directories and electronic mail

Abstract

The focus of this study is the search behavior of remote users of the University of California MELVYL Library System, an OPAC. Transaction logs from randomly selected remote user search sessions are analyzed. Descriptive data on the number and type of searches, choice of search mode and database, number of retrievals, number and type of errors, and use of system HELP facilities are presented. The search data have been cross-tabulated with demographic data on the same group of remote users, collected through an online survey conducted by the authors. Effectiveness of system usage is discussed. A case mode is made for the desirability of additional heuristics in the catalog portion of the system

Abstract

Examined two groups of online catalogue users segregated by their method of access to the system: terminals in the library or remote workstations. An online survey collected demographic data, perceptions on source and terminal accessibility, and information on usage, task variety and search satisfaction. Transaction logs furnished data on browsing behavious, while interviews of both groups provided additional information about remote use. Results indicate that remote use is comparable to traditional use

"Robert T-Online hat endlich wieder einen spannenden Job. Die Aufgabe, Anleger für den Börsengang der Telekom-Internettochter zu begeistern, hat das virtuelle Reklamemännchen abgehakt. Jetzt wirbt der strohblonde Robert bundesweit auf Plakaten und in Zeitungsanzeigen für ,Sssssuper-Highspeed zum Sssssuperpreis". Gemeint ist der brandneue Internettarif T-Online DSL Flat 49 Mark Pauschale im Monat für unbegrenztes Surfen im World Wide Web ohne zusätzliche Telefongebühren. Und das bei Übertragungsraten von 768 Kilobit pro Sekunde für das Herunterladen und 128 Kilobit pro Sekunde für das Versenden von Daten. Also satte zwölfmal so schnell wie bei einem herkömmlichen ISDN-Anschluss. Für Telekom-Marketingvorstand Detlev Buchal ein schlicht unschlagbares Angebot". Das Kürzel DSL steht für "Digital Subscriber Line", zu deutsch "Digitale Teilnehmer-Leitung". DSL-Technologie ermöglicht die Ubertragung breitbandiger Datendienste auf herkömmlichen Telefon-Kupferkabeln. DSL-Zugänge ins Internet bieten nicht nur einen deutlich rascheren Seitenaufbau, sie leisten vor allem erstmals die Übermittlung von Bild- und Tondateien in befriedigender Qualität auf den PC. Mit DSL kann das strapazierte Schlagwort vom Internet-Fernsehen erstmals Realität werden. Zwar hält der Pink Panther schon seit Sommer 1999 unter dem Produktnamen T-DSV für Geschäfts- und Privatkunden auch einen Online-Hochgeschwindigkeitszug unter Dampf. Doch das Angebot stand nur in einigen Ballungsräumen zur Verfügung, schreckte den gemeinen Web-Nutzer durch allzu hohe Entgelte ab und lockte deshalb bisher nur rund 100 000 Interessenten hinter dem PC hervor. Mit der seit Monatsbeginn gültigen drastischen Preissenkung hat sich der Bonner Multimedia-Riese nicht weniger vorgenommen, als in den nächsten Jahren die breite Masse der bereits über 18 Millionen deutschen Internet-Nutzer in Highspeed-Surfer zu verwandeln.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine if the searching behaviour of remote users of LIAS, Penn State's online catalogue differed from those using the OPAC within the library. More than 1.000 searches done by remote users (those accessing the system via either dial-access or the university's computer network) were compared to more than 1.000 searches done by in-house users. Each search was duplicated step by step and analysed according to a pre-determined set of criteria. Although few dramatic differences were found between the 2 groups, there were enough subtle differences to generate interest. In general, remote users are the more sophisticated searchers, bearing out the assumption that remote users seem to have a better conceptual knowledge of how an information system should operate. On the other hand, they struggle more with the procedural details of how to use the OPAC. Dial-access users seem to constitute a unique group of users: their searches are often quite different than those done by either network or in-house users

Abstract

Expanded hours of access and the reduction of peak system loads are often cited as advantages of remote access to OPACs. This argument is based on the assumption that remote users search OPACs when libraries are closed or when there is low internal use. The study tested this assumption by performing a transactional log analysis of the remote and internal use of the OPAC at the Research Libraries of the New York Public Library. Analysis showed that pateerns of remote and internal use differed greatly. A large part of the remote searching occured when the Research Libraries were closed. Compared to internal searching, remote searching was distributed more evenly over the course of the day and the week. Results show that remote access expands the hours of use of the Online catalogue and has potential to reduce peak system loads at the Research Libraries

"Seit zwei Jahrzehnten nutzen vor allem Bibliotheksverbünde das Protokoll Z39.50, um ihren Benutzern im Internet die simultane Abfrage mehrerer Datenbanken zu ermöglichen. Jetzt gibt es einen Nachfolger dieses Protokolls, der eine einfachere Implementierung verspricht. Damit ist auch eine größere Verbreitung für die Suche in verteilten Datenbeständen anderer Institutionen, wie z.B. Archiven und Museen, wahrscheinlich. SRW/U (Search and Retrieve Web Service bzw. Search and Retrieve URL Service, www.loc.90v/z3950/agency/zing/srw) wurde von einer an der Library of Congress angesiedelten Initiative entwickelt und beruht auf etablierten Standards wie URI und XML. Die mit SRW und SRU möglichen Abfragen und Ergebnisse unterscheiden sich nur in der Art der Übertragung, verwenden aber beide dieselben Prozeduren. Davon gibt es nur drei: explain, scan und searchRetrieve. Die beiden Erstgenannten dienen dazu, allgemeine Informationen über den Datenanbieter bzw. die verfügbaren Indexe zubekommen. Das Herzstück ist die search-Retrieve-Anweisung. Damit werden Anfragen direkt an die Datenbank gesendet und die Parameter des Suchergebnisses definiert. Verwendet wird dafür die Retrievalsprache CQL (Common Query Language), die simple Freitextsuchen, aber auch mit Boolschen Operatoren verknüpfte Recherchen ermöglicht. Bei SRU werden die Suchbefehle mittels einfacher HTTP GET -Anfragen übermittelt, die Ergebnisse in XML zurückgeliefert. Zur Strukturierung der Daten dienen z.B. Dublin Core, MARC oder EAD. Welches Format von der jeweiligen Datenbank bereitgestellt wird, kann durch die explain-Anweisung ermittelt gebracht werden."
