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

Reports results of a study, undertaken at the J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library, Missouri University at Columbia, to derive a set of evaluation criteria to assist librarians in determining the positive and negative aspects of alternative Web sites available for searching MEDLINE via the WWW. A set of searches were used systematically to compare MEDLINE Web sites, including: Avicenna; America Online; HealthGate; PubMed; Medscape; and Physicians' Online. Focuses on the principle features of the search engines used in the sites: default fields and operators; MeSH; subheadings; stopwords protected in MeSH; truncation and stemming. Describes the group processes used to arrive at the evaluation criteria and some general conclusions which will help librarians in directing their users to a particular MEDLINE site

Abstract

Information Access Company has launched LifeCenter, a WWW based consumer information service and demonstrated InfoTrac Total Access, a new supersearch engine for libraries. LifeCenter is a simple, interactive service which provides library users with step by step guides to research such issues as investment strategies, auto and consumer purchases, employment opportunities, resume writing and other topics relevant to individuals and families. InfoTrac Total Access allows library users to search simultaneously multiple sources of electronic information from both inside and outside the library

Abstract

Since their inception in the early 1960s the strength and unique aspect of the ISI citation indexes has been their ability to illustrate the conceptual relationships between scholarly documents. When authors create reference lists for their papers, they make explicit links between their own, current work and the prior work of others. The exact nature of these links may not be expressed in the references themselves, and the motivation behind them may vary (this has been the subject of much discussion over the years), but the links embodied in references do exist. Over the past 30+ years, technology has allowed ISI to make the presentation of citation searching increasingly accessible to users of our products. Citation searching and link tracking moved from being rather cumbersome in print, to being direct and efficient (albeit non-intuitive) online, to being somewhat more user-friendly in CD format. But it is the confluence of the hypertext link and development of Web browsers that has enabled us to present to users a new form of citation product -- the Web of Science -- that is intuitive and makes citation indexing conceptually accessible. A cited reference search begins with a known, important (or at least relevant) document used as the search term. The search allows one to identify subsequent articles that have cited that document. This feature adds the dimension of prospective searching to the usual retrospective searching that all bibliographic indexes provide. Citation indexing is a prime example of a concept before its time - important enough to be used in the meantime by those sufficiently motivated, but just waiting for the right technology to come along to expand its use. While it was possible to follow citation links in earlier citation index formats, this required a level of effort on the part of users that was often just too much to ask of the casual user. In the citation indexes as presented in the Web of Science, the relationship between citing and cited documents is evident to users, and a click of the mouse is all it takes to follow a citation link. Citation connections are established between the published papers being indexed from the 8,000+ journals ISI covers and the items their reference lists contain during the data capture process. It is the standardized capture of each of the references included with these documents that enables us to provide the citation searching feature in all the citation index formats, as well as both internal and external links in the Web of Science.

Abstract

Extends the WWW hypertext search paradigm to allow flexible conceptual navigation of online databases. Using the WWW Common Gateway Interface standard and natural language processing techniques. The WEBLINE Virtual Hypertext Saerch interface prototype automatically identifies noun phrases in retrieved records and it converts them into dynamic hotlinks and search strategies to support associative hypertext browsing of MEDLINE and other NLM databases. The approach is applicable to the searching of online databases in general and can be broadened to implement virtual hypertext searching of the Virtual WWW

Abstract

Presents a study to assist reference librarians/bibliographers in the selection of electronic formats of indexes and abstracts. It incorporated input from both general and experts users in a comparison of CD-ROM and Internet versions of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA). The results indicate that CD-ROM technology, in spite of its user-friendliness, has limitations. The Internet version of ASFA has more current records, offers more comprehensive coverage of the ASFA databases, and allows unlimited remote access by faculty, staff, and students. Limitations of the Internet version include speed of access, search engine inadequacies, and the need for a more extensive training programme

Abstract

Stresses the need for sites evaluating Internet resources. Lists sites and outlines how they are evaluated. Librarians need to collaborate more, and reviews need to become more consistent and informative for the user. Describes the model followed by the Marr/Kirkwood Official Guide to Business Schools Web. This uses a tabular format and compares business school sites on a set of standard criteria. The format lends itself to multiple reviewers

Abstract

Confirms the accuracy of a prediction 4 years ago that the CD-ROM graphic interfaces then available would be rivalled in online. Many Web based services now outperform CD-ROM models and magazine pages often look better on the Web than on CD-ROM. Desirable, but not widely available, is the facility to download data from CD-ROM databases. The best CD-ROM authority and retrieval software packages with impressible capabilities remain expensive but there are reasonably priced alternatives for Web publishing and database searching, many of which are derived from CD-ROM originals. A new software development which allows replication of Web sites on CD-ROM will feature in articles in future issues of 'Information today'
