- Abstract
- All types of information can be referenced to a geographic place. Maps, aerial photographs, and remote sensing images are spatially georeferenced. Other forms of information such as books, articles, research papers, pieces of music, and art are often linked to a geographic location through place names (geographic names). A gazetteer (a dictionary of geographic names) that is spatially referenced itself provides the bridge between these two types of georeferencing. With a georeferenced gazetteer translation service, a user can start with a geographic name and find information that is described with either geographic names or with geospatial coordinates. Use of this powerful indirect geospatially referencing tool can be applied as a common approach to libraries, bibliographic files, data centers, web resources, and museum and specimen collections and can be particular useful across language barriers since latitude and longitude coordinates are universally understood. The Alexandria Digital Library has implemented a gazetteer component for its georeferenced digital library. This experience resulted in the creation of a Gazetteer Content Standard, a Feature Type Thesaurus, and an operational interactive gazetteer service. This paper describes the development of these components and illustrates the use of this tool in a georeferenced digital library. It also relates progress in working with Federal agencies and others toward developing shareable gazetteer data through Digital Gazetteer Information Exchange programs

- Abstract
- The Iter Project ("iter" means "path" or "journey" in Latin) is an internationally supported non-profit research project created with the objective of providing electronic access to all kinds and formats of materials that relate to the Middle Ages and Renaissance (400-1700) and that were published between 1700 and the present. Knowledge representation and organization decisions for the Project were influenced by its potential international clientele of scholarly users, and these decisions illustrate the importance and efficacy of collaboration between specialized users and information professionals. The paper outlines the scholarly principles and information goals of the Project and describes in detail the methodology developed to provide reliable and consistent knowledge representation and organization for one component of the Project, the Iter Bibliography. Examples of fully catalogued records for the Iter Bibliography are included.

- Abstract
- The growing number of networked information resources and services offers unprecedented opportunities for delivering high quality information to the computer desktop of a wide range of individuals. However, currently there is a reliance on a database retrieval model, in which endusers use keywords to search large collections of automatically indexed resources in order to find needed information. As an alternative to the database retrieval model, this paper outlines the classical digital library model, which is derived from traditional practices of library and information science professionals. These practices include the selection and organization of information resources for local populations of users and the integration of advanced information retrieval tools, such as databases and the Internet into these collections. To evaluate this model, library and information professionals and endusers involved with primary care medicine were asked to respond to a series of questions comparing their experiences with a digital library developed for the primary care population to their experiences with general Internet use. Preliminary results are reported

- Abstract
- Reports a preliminary analysis of organizational schemes applied by academic libraries worldwide to arrange their electronic resources an their Web-based information gateways. The unsystematic sample consists of 41 academic libraries in 10 countries representing 4 languages, Chinese, English, German, and Spanish. The study reveals a widely accepted practice in applying 6 simplistic methods to organizing online information: by resource type, alphabetical by title, alphabetical by subject (mostly discipline and genre), by vendor/publisher, by broad classification, and random. In addition, it notes a marked difference between libraries in the English-speaking world and those in other countries in that the former present significantly more systematic characteristics.

- Content
- "Wer im Jahr 2003 in seinen Lieblingsthemen detailliert informiert sein möchte, klappert täglich Dutzende von News-Sites und Webmagazinen ab. Ein Unterfangen, das mitunter recht mühselig sein kann: Neben, über und unter den gewünschten Nachrichten quälen sich bei jedem Aufruf Menüleisten, Banner und Grafiken durch die Leitung, und oft genug wurde die Seite seit seinem vergangenen Besuch nicht einmal aktualisiert. RSS-Clients, auch Feedreader genannt, könnten künftig Surfern die zeitaufwendige Handarbeit abnehmen. Das Prinzip ist denkbar einfach: Die Betreiber von Webangeboten stellen - neben den HTML-Seiten, die übliche Browser benötigen - einen so genannten Newsfeed zur Verfügung. Genau genommen handelt es sich dabei um nichts Weiteres. als eine speziell kodierte Textdatei mit berschriften, Zusammenfassungen und Textausschnitten der jeweils jüngsten Meldungen. Der Feedreader dreht in regelmäßigen Abständen seine Runden, holt diese Dateien und - wieder daheim - präsentiert die enthaltenen Informationen übersichtlich lesbar. Erst ein Klick auf eine Überschrift lädt den entsprechenden Originalartikel schließlich in den Webbrowser. Statt sich der Reizüberflutung auf Dutzenden, unterschiedlich gestylten Websites auszusetzen, genügt so ein Blick auf die systematisch geordneten Texteinträge im Fenster des Feedreaders, um zu entscheiden, welche Beiträge einer genaueren Betrachtung würdig sind und welche nicht. Diese Sammel-und-Zeige-Programme gibt es mittlerweile in vielen Geschmacksrichtungen und für nahezu jedes Betriebssystem (siehe "Feedreade"). Der Haken: Die Betreiber der Webangebote müssen den Dienst unterstützen und die nötigen RSS-Dateien zur Verfügung stellen. Da sich die meisten News-Magazine allerdings mit Bannerwerbung finanzieren, standen ihre Herausgeber dieser Verbreitung ihrer Texte bisher skeptisch gegenüber. Doch langsam denken viele um: Immerhin kann das System Besucher anlocken. Und nicht irgendwelche. Die Leser sind ausgesprochen interessiert und motiviert, da sie sich explizit für ein bestimmtes Angebot entschieden haben - und nicht zufällig oder unter Zeitdruck durch die einzelnen Seiten stolpern. Spätestens seit mit Yahoo einer der großen Anbieter seine aktuellen Meldungen als Newsfeed verbreitet, darf man davon ausgehen, dass etliche Mitbewerber folgen werden. So könnte die praktische Technologie in absehbarer Zeit zum nützlichen Alltagswerkzeug werden. Bis das soweit ist, übernehmen spezialisierte Dienste den Job des Mittlers zwischen den Welten: Unter NewsIsFree.com kann sich jeder User seine individuelle Auswahl an RSSFeeds zusammenstellen. Sollte das betreffende Internet-Angebot die Technik noch nicht unterstützen, wird einfach kurzerhand der notwendige Feed extern generiert - ob es dem Betreiber nun passt oder nicht. Der Service ist in der Basis-Version kostenlos. RSS steht für "Rich Site Summary". Doch zuletzt werden die drei Buchstaben häufiger als Akronym für "Really Simple Syndication" eingesetzt. Die Idee geht zurück auf das Jahr 1999, als das mittlerweile beinahe verblichene Unternehmen Netscape mit Hilfe dieses Verfahrens die Popularität seines Portals MyNetscape.com erhöhen wollte. Der Durchbruch kam mit der Verbreitung der Weblogs. Angeregt durch die Integration des RSS-Standards in das beliebte Blog-Tool Radio Userland, übernahmen die Hersteller anderer Publishing-Systeme schnell diese Strategie, und heute kommt kaum noch ein Online-Journal ohne eigenen Newsfeed aus - erkennbar am kleinen XML-Button auf der Startseite.

- Abstract
- Describes a WWW based system which allows users to view, search and post geographically indexed information of the Earth. 2 geographic browsers have been developed: a 2D map browser capable of continuous scroll and zoom of an arbitrarily large sheet and a 3D flight-simulator browser capable of continuous flight around the Earth. On the server side, a geographical and geometrical server has been developed which contains large databases of images, elevations, lines, points and polygons stored in tiles structured into hierarchical pyramids or quadtrees. A metadata server has also been developed which contains URL pointers and geographical coordinates of various WWW documents, geographical information and geometrical models

- Abstract
- Hundreds of scholarly studies have investigated various aspects of Wikipedia. Although a number of literature reviews have provided overviews of this vast body of research, none has specifically focused on the readers of Wikipedia and issues concerning its readership. In this systematic literature review, we review 99 studies to synthesize current knowledge regarding the readership of Wikipedia and provide an analysis of research methods employed. The scholarly research has found that Wikipedia is popular not only for lighter topics such as entertainment but also for more serious topics such as health and legal information. Scholars, librarians, and students are common users, and Wikipedia provides a unique opportunity for educating students in digital literacy. We conclude with a summary of key findings, implications for researchers, and implications for the Wikipedia community.

- Abstract
- While there are many information sources available on the WWW, the identification of significant Internet resources is often not as efficient nor as effective as many would desire. In 1995, a demonstration prototype service, CyberStacks, was established at Iowa State University to enhance access and use of selected Internet resources in science, technology and related areas through the application of the LCC as an organization framework. reviews the creation of CyberStacks and the methods and techniques for facilitating access to WWW resources

- Abstract
- More than 100 U.S. governmental agencies offer links through FedStats, a centralized Web site that facilitates access to statistical tables, reports, and agencies. This and similar large collections need appropriate interfaces to guide the general public to easily and successfully find information they seek. This paper summarizes the results of 3 empirical studies of alternate organization concepts of the FedStats Topics Web page. Each study had 15 participants. The evolution from 645 alphabetically organized links, to 549 categorically organized links, to 215 categorically organized links tied to portal pages produced a steady rise in successful task completion from 15.6 to 24.4 to 42.2%. User satisfaction also increased. We make recommendations based an these data and our observations of users.

- Abstract
- A unique collection of historical material covering the lives and events of an English village between 1400 and 1750 has been made available via a WWW enabled information retrieval system. Since the expected readership of the documents ranges from school children to experienced researchers, providing this information in an easily accessible form has offered many challenges requiring tools to aid searching and browsing. The file structure of the document collection was replaced by an database, enabling query results to be presented on the fly. A Java interface displays each user's context in a form that allows for easy and intuitive relevance feedback

- Rez. in: JASIST 56(2005) no.11, S.1237-1238 (E. Yakel): "This book provides the profession with a cogent, thorough, and thoughtful introduction to digital reference. Janes not only provides the breadth of coverage expected in an introduction, but also depth into this important topic. Janes' approach is managerial or administrative, providing guidelines for reference work that can be applied in different settings. Janes creates a decision-making framework to help reference librarians make decisions concerning how, to what extent, and in what cases digital reference services will be delivered. In this way, Janes avoids dictating a "one-size-fits-all" model. This approach is the major strength of the book. Library administrators and heads of reference services will find the administrative approach welcome by helping them think through which digital reference policies and methods will best target core constituencies and their institutional environments. However, the book deserves a broader audience as professors will find that the book fits nicely in a general reference course. For all readers, the book is readable and engaging and also challenging and questioning. The book begins with a history of reference work, nicely positioning digital reference in this tradition and noting the changes wrought by the digital age. By doing this, the author establishes both continuity and change in reference work as well as the values surrounding this activity. These values are largely those from the library community and Support people's access to information as well as activities that support the use of information. Janes closes this chapter by noting that the continuing changes in demographics, technology, and connectivity will impact reference work in ways that are not yet imaginable. This introduction sets the tone for the rest of the book. Janes defines digital reference service as "the use of digital technologies and resources to provide direct, professional assistance to people who are seeking information, wherever and whenever they need it" (p. 29). This definition covers a lot of ground. Examples include everything from a public library answering email queries to commercial ask-an-expert services. While the primary audience is librarians, Janes continually reminds readers that many others perform reference activities an the World Wide Web. Furthermore, he cautions readers that there are larger forces shaping this activity in the world that need to acknowledged. In building a framework for decision-making, Janes outlines the types of digital reference service. This discussion covers the communieations modes, such as e-mail, chat, Web forms, etc. It also analyzes the modalities by which reference service is delivered: synchronous/ asynchronous. Using these two dimensions (communication method and synchronous/asynchronous), Janes presents the variety of contexts in which digital reference can take place and then outlines the strengths and weaknesses of each of these. This translates into a decision-making framework by which readers analyze their particular setting and then select the modes and modalities that world be most effective. This is a powerful device and demonstrates the many options (and perhaps also the obstacles) for providing digital reference service.
The discussion of modes for digital reference world be incomplete without focusing an the technologies that support this activity. E-mail, Web forms, chat, instant messaging, and videoconferencing, as well as the call center based software, are now being adapted for use in libraries. The book discusses the technologies currently available and an the horizon to support digital reference services. While these sections of the book may not age well, they will provide us with a historical glimpse of the nascent development of such tools and how they were used at the beginning of the digital reference age. True to the emphasis an decision-making, the chapter an technology includes a list of functions that reference librarians world want in software to support digital reference. While no current applications have all of these features, this list provides librarians with some ideas concerning possible features that can be prioritized to aid in a selection process. Despite the emphasis an technology, Janes contextualizes this discussion with several significant issues relating to its implementation. These include everything from infrastructure, collaborative service standards, service design, user authentication, and user expectations. The sections an collaborative service models and service design are particularly interesting since they are both in their infancy. Readers wanting an answer or the "best" design of either institutional or collaborative digital reference service will be disappointed. However, raising these considerations is important and Janes points out how crucial these issues will be as online reference service matures. User authentication in the context of reference service is especially tricky since tensions can emerge between license agreements and the range of people who may or may not be covered by these contracts querying reference librarians. Finally, no discussion of digital reference is complete without a discussion of the possibility of 24/7 reference service and the ensuing user expectations. While Janes has no answers to the dilemmas these raise, he does alert libraries providing digital reference services to some of the realities. One is that libraries will get a broader range of questions, which could impact staff time, collection development to support these questions, and necessitate either a confirmation of priorities or a reprioritization of activities. Another reality is that the users of digital reference services may never have partaken of their services before. In fact, for libraries funded to serve a particular constituency (public libraries, academic libraries) this influx of users raises questions about levels of service, funding, and policy. Finally, in keeping with the underlying theme of values that pervades the book, Janes points out the deeper issues related to technology such as increasing ability to track users an the web. While he realizes that anonymous information about those who ask reference questions world provide reference librarians with a great deal of information to hone services and better serve constituencies, he is well aware of the dangers involved in collectiog patron information in electronic form.
Given that the Web is constantly changing, Janes turns bis focus to the future of digital reference. Topics include changes in reference practice, restructuring resource utilization, and the evolving reference interview. These are crucial dimensions of digital reference practice that require attention. The most intriguing of these is the changing nature of the interaction with the patron. The majority of digital reference takes place without physical, aural, or visual eines to gauge understanding or to sense conclusion of the interaction. While Janes provides some guidelines for both digital reference interviewing and Web forms, he honestly admits that reference interviewing in the technologically mediated environment requires additional study in both the asynchronous and particularly synchronous communication modalities. As previously noted, Janes is as concerned about developing the infrastructure for digital reference, as he is about the service itself. By infrastructure, Janes means not only the technological infrastructure, but also the people and the institution. In discussing the need for institutionalization of digital reference, he discusses (re)training reference staff, staffing models, and institutionalizing the service. The section an institutionalizing the service itself is particularly strong and presents a 10-step planning process for libraries to follow as they consider developing online services. The book ends with some final thoughts and exhortations to the readers. The author, as in the rest of the book, encourages experimentation, innovation, and risk taking. These are not characteristics that are automatically associated with librarians, but these qualities are not alien to readers either. The theme of planning and the value of connecting people with information pervade this chapter. In this closing, Janes subtly tells readers that his guidelines and proposals are just that-there is no magic bullet here. But he does argue that there has been good work done and some models that can be adopted, adapted, and improved (and then hopefully shared with others). In the end, Janes leaves readers with a feeling that there is a place for library reference service in the digital realm. Furthermore, he is convinced that the knowledge and skills of reference librarians are translatable into this arena. By focusing an the institutionalization of digital reference services, Janes is trying to get libraries to better position themselves in the virtual world, beside the commercial services and the plethora of Web-based information competing for the patrons' attention."

- Abstract
- ILEKS (Internet-Lektoratsservice) als Nachnutzung des BINE-Projekts läuft derzeit als Initiative der Stadtbibliotheken in Bremen, Berlin, Paderborn und Hannover sowie der Büchereizentrale Schleswig-Holstein und der Landesfachstelle für Öffentliche Bibliotheken an der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek. Die Konsortialpartner wählen zu den Themenbereichen "Reisen", "Krebs", "Computer", "Computerspiele", "Kriminalliteratur", "Musik" sowie "Berlin" und "Bremen" Internetquellen aus, bewerten und erschließen sie. Um diesen Dienstleistungsservice thematisch zu erweitern, muss die Beteiligung auf eine breitere Basis gestellt werden. Dazu gibt es eine Initiative des dbv, die mit externer Finanzierung durch zwei private Partner, der Bertelsmann-Stiftung und der SISIS GmbH, ein weiterführendes Projekt "Internetbibliothek. de" ins Leben gerufen hat. Das Konzept ILEKS und die bis dato gemachten Erfahrungen sind ein wichtiger Meilen- und Baustein der Online-Distribution neuer Servicedienstleistungen der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken für Wissen und Information!
