Abstract

If mass communications researchers continue to disregard reesrach into the Internet, their theories about communication will become less useful. Proposes a conceptualization of the Internet as a mass medium, based on revision of what constitutes a mass audience and a mediating technology

Abstract

The 1991 IFLA programme given by the section on bibliography presented the theme that national bibliography becomes part of national memeory by recording the publications of the nation. Examines whether the widely distributed publications of popular culture are 'forgotten' by national bibliography. Considers the bibliographic control of newspapers, mass market publications and erotica in the US bibliographic control system. For the last 2 categories, searches selected titles in the OCLC database where many publications were found with wide distribution but recorded by few or no libraries. Popular culture materials should be recorded in national bibliographies to provide a more extended and historically accurate national memory

Abstract

Communication studies at present have reached an impasse because of the proliferation of competing theories, none of which is fully explanatory. 4 main paradigms can be distinguished, deriving respectively from studies of mass communication developed in the US; the French school, focusing on communication 'messages'; the Frankfurt school, originating in the critique of modern industrial society; and Latin American theorists, concerned with cultural domination and imperialism. The way forward lies in establishing some linkage - a harmonious polyphony - between these divergent views, by taking language as the nodal point since this is the necassary common basis of all communication

Abstract

Highlights 2 major problems of the WWW metadata: it will take some time before a reasonable number of people start using metadata to provide a better Web classification, and that no one can guarantee that a majority of the Web objects will be ever properly classified via metadata. Addresses the problem of how to cope with intrinsic limits of Web metadata, proposes a method to solve these problems and show evidence of its effectiveness. Examines the important problem of what is the required critical mass in the WWW for metadata in order for it to be really useful

Abstract

Delineates the difference between mass communication and information science. Establishes the theoretical models which present a framework for mass communication. Presents the inter-relationships existing between mass communication studies and information science in the form of a table. Also shows how the two can work together for an information conscious society

Abstract

Discusses the WWW as an information system available to the mass, not the WWW as a general user interface. Discusses use quality, system success and user satisfaction models based on traditional information systems. Suggests useful features in service marketing models to be included in quality models for mass information systems like the Web. Satisfaction measures from service marketing should be taken into account as an information system and especially a mass information system like the WWW provides information services for the user

Abstract

Examines the problem of a compelling online news delivery system by focusing on how mass media audiences and online users differ in their assessment of news. It employed a 2-wave USA national survey to study the perception of interactivity in mass media and computer networks and its relationship to the assessment of news. The 1st wave looked a national probability sample, ahile the 2nd targeted viewers of NBC Nightly News who responded to the show via e-mail. NBC respondents rated mass media to be less interactive, while they rated computer communication more interactive than the national sample. The NBC group also rated mass media news less important and of lower quality than did the national sample. Interactivity ratings did not predict mass media credibility assessment for either group. However, respondents who defined interactivity as cybernetic feedback or who contacted NBC by e-mail rated computer communication to be more credible than thos who did not

Abstract

Addresses the issues of information seeking behaviour within the context of an information poor lifestyle, i.e. one in which the mass media are not viewed as providers of useful information and in which there is a parsimony of helpful interpersonal channels. Examines knowledge gap theory and concludes that, although the mass media are perceived as sources of information for some (the 'media rich'), they do not respond to the needs of the poor. Unfortunately, the role that interpersonal sources might play in this process have not been adequately addressed by knowledge gap researchers

Abstract

Discusses the design of a high-performance, cost effective, machine for retrieving textual data, HYTREM. High performance and cost effectiveness are achieved by a combination of low cost hard discs, software filtering techniques, and a large amount of main memory. Focuses on the signature processor, which is based on the partitioned signature file technique, and the mass storage system, which is based on a disc array. Presents a performance evaluation on the individual system components, i.e. the signature processor and the mass storage system, as well as the entire system

Abstract

An approach to establishing a relationship between knowing, informing and representing, using aspects of linguistic theory to clarify semantic theory as the basis for an overall theory of meaning. Linguistic knowledge is based on a conceptual matrix which defines convergence / divergence of the categories used to specify an object's parameters; work on the analysis of discourse emphasisis the social dimension of meaning, which is the basis of the theory of acts and speech. The evaluation criteria used to determine questions about the possibility of knowledge are necessarily decisive, this opens up promising perspectives if formulating a relationship between conceptual and pragmatic approaches

Abstract

Many people still believe that publishing a CD-ROM is difficult, time consuming and costly; and therefore only justifiable for large organizations producing mass marketplace publications. Demonstrates how easily organizations can justify the modest investment required to obtain a complete system for in house CD-ROM creation, prototyping and low volume production
