- Abstract
- Am 26. Januar startet "Zeitgeschichte-online" - ein neues Internetportal mit einem umfangreichen Informationsangebot für die zeithistorische Forschung. Das Portal erschließt zeithistorische Internet-Ressourcen, enthält Tagungsberichte, Rezensionen sowie redaktionell betreute Themenangebote und ermöglicht eine komfortable Katalog- und Datenbanksuche. Teil des Portals ist außerdem die neue Fachzeitschrift "Zeithistorische Forschungen/Studies in Contemporary History". Sie erscheint in zwei Ausgaben: einer Online-Version und einer parallelen Druckausgabe (beim Verlag Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, http://www.v-r.de). Das Fachportal "Zeitgeschichte-online" ist ein gemeinsames Projekt des Zentrums für Zeithistorische Forschung Potsdam und der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz. Es ist zugleich als ein Modul des geschichtswissenschaftlichen Portals "Clio-online" konzipiert (http://www.clioonline.de) und kooperiert eng mit dem Informationsdienst "H-Soz-u-Kult" (http://hsozkult.geschichte.hu-berlin.de). Das Projekt wird von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft gefördert. Ausführlichere Projektinformationen gibt es unter http://www.zeitgeschichte-online.de.

- Abstract
- Telephone directories are one of the most used sources of information in a reference collection. As the library literature indicates, they are a stable reference tool with a strong history of use. Further, it has been observed that telephone directories are familiar to most users, and resources such as the community pages and yellow pages are used extensively. However, the emergence of CD-ROM technology and libraries being charged for printed directories has raised questions concerning the future of an all-print telephone directory collection in libraries. Yet, evaluation of acquisitions alternatives for these resources is largely missing in the library literature. In this article, Boettcher and Kingma review the literature regarding the use of telephone directories in academic and public libraries and provide a cost analysis of the four purchasing options regarding telephone directories: printed directories, directory assistance, Phonefiche, and CD-ROMs

- Abstract
- Reviews the current market for CD-ROM databases with particular reference to the online versus CD-ROM versus print debate. Concludes that the most likely scenario is a steady convergence of technologies, at least until the end of the century. Review the current and the most likely future developments in the area of CD-ROM database contents, software, hardware, and marketing. Concludes that users will choose databases on the basis of such factors as: ease of use; power of use; storage and delivery capacity; quality; functionaliy; timeliness; overall appeal; and real cost, not just price. Lists the most likely candidates for successful CD-ROM database development; not yet available. Concludes that Windows user faces will steadily replace DOS based systems, but not unless the Windows replacements are truly better and not just different. Recommends that both Windows and DOS interfaces be loaded onto the same CD-ROM with each database allowing the user to choose which to use. Reviews likely developments in CD-ROM hardware and marketing strategies

- Abstract
- This study evaluates how well the authors of Wikipedia history articles adhere to the site's policy of assuring verifiability through citations. It does so by examining the references and citations of a subset of country histories. The findings paint a dismal picture. Not only are many claims not verified through citations, those that are suffer from the choice of references used. Many of these are from only a few US government Websites or news media and few are to academic journal material. Given these results, one response would be to declare Wikipedia unsuitable for serious reference work. But another option emerges when we jettison technological determinism and look at Wikipedia as a product of a wider social context. Key to this context is a world in which information is bottled up as commodities requiring payment for access. Equally important is the problematic assumption that texts are undifferentiated bearers of knowledge. Those involved in instructional programs can draw attention to the social nature of texts to counter these assumptions and by so doing create an awareness for a new generation of Wikipedians and Wikipedia users of the need to evaluate texts (and hence citations) in light of the social context of their production and use.

- Abstract
- National institutions in the international community have realized the importance and significance of digital documents living an the World Wide Web as a part of the current cultural history. Collecting, preserving and giving access to this vast collection of information is a challenge of great importance. This article points at some general focus area, and goes more in depth an access to Web archives. The Nordic Web Archive project is described to some extent.The project has pointed at some alternative ways of enabling users to take benefit of Web archives, and it also brings experiences an the access area forward.

- Rez. in: JASIST 55(2004) no.7, S.651-652 (D.G. Smith): "A complex myriad of online information sources and services are currently accessible to knowledge workers worldwide. Those who have a computer equipped with a modern or Internet access can avail themselves of bibliographic, scientific, and full-text databases in a staggering number of disciplines. These online services, fueled by technological advancement, are in a constant state of change. Innovation occurs so quickly that it is difficult for knowledge workers to remember any other technological reality but the present. In such an environment, the origin of online information services often goes unconsidered. A History of Online Information Services, 1963-1976, by Charles P. Bourne and Trudi Bellardo Hahn, sheds light an the pioneering efforts of those who made current online information services possible. Michael Buckland states in the book's foreword that Bourne and Hahn's volume is the first history of the early online years. It covers the appearance of the first online information retrieval system in 1963 and concludes during 1976 when several commercial online information services, including DIALOG and LEXIS, became forerunners in the nascent online industry. Although developments in computing technology and communication networks were important to early online efforts, these topics are not discussed in the book. However, there are cases when offline computing technologies, such as database searching with punched cards, are reviewed if they are important to the development of online retrieval systems. ...
Overall, Bourne and Hahn's book is richly detailed and extensively documented. In the book's introduction, the authors provide a good overview of other online system histories, but they also write about a lack of archival and secondary sources in this area. This explains why it took the authors 15 years to gather information for this volume, most of it derived from technical reports, newsletters, and personal interviews. From a research standpoint, the authors have done an excellent job. However, while no one can take issue with the book's level of scholarship, the presentation of the research could have been more effective. The majority of the book is written in a straightforward, factual manner that is difficult to read as an historical narrative. Except for Chapter 10, there is very little writing in the book that engages the reader and captures the human side of the online information retrieval story. A quote from W. Boyd Rayward an the back of the book's dust cover calls the work "encyclopedic," and in many ways the book as it exists would have worked better as an encyclopedia. Even the book's layout, with double instead of single columns, hints at its reference-like qualities. To be fair, though, it is entirely possible that Bourse and Hahn may have wanted to create a book with a human interest angle, but the lack of documentation may have prevented them from creating such a work. In short, A History of Online Information Services, 1963-1976, does a commendable job of encapsulating the significant people, organizations, and events that helped shape early online information services. Given the problems Bourne and Hahn had in gathering historical evidence for their book, it makes one wonder about the implications for future historical work in the online field. One can only hope that organizations are archiving enough historical material to be able to write the post-1976 online story."
