Abstract

De Montfort University aims to develop an electronic library within 5 years based at its new campus at Milton Keynes. The concept is a teaching, learning and study environment in which information is held primarily in electronic form. It is closely linked to and will require the cooperation of the publishing and bookselling industries. A research project, ELINOR, has been set up, beginning with a 2 year pilot project to evaluate the use of document image processing technology involving the scanning of books, journals, and course materials into an image bank

Abstract

Describes the ELINOR (Electronic Library INformation Online Retrieval) Electronic Library Project, at De Montfort University, UK, which aims to convert library primary materials and course documents to electronic form and to make the full text documents accessible to teaching staff and students in an electronic workstation environment. This pilot phase of the ELINOR Electronic Library Project demonstrated the feasibility of collecting electronic documents for 1 undergraduate course, BA/BSc Business Information Systems (BIS), and the benefits of optical character recognition (OCR) and scanning and document image processing (DIP) techniques in a client server environment. A key feature of the project was the negotiation of short term licences from 11 publishers for 53 textbooks. Publishers were prepared to participate in the project to provide useful early experience in copyright management on small scale

Abstract

Describes the development of the electronic library project: ELINOR (Electronic Library INformation Online Retrieval); by the Information Centre, De Montfort University at Milton Keynes. The pilot phase is working towards the creation of a text and image database of books, periodicals and course materials by using the latest document image processing (DIP) technologies. The transition from automated libraries to electronic libraries brings new challenges to information retrieval. Concludes that the important problems affecting information retrieval in electronic libraries include document interchange standards, identification of appropriate indexing strategies, online text and image viewing and text retrieval from distributed databases

Abstract

The information centre at De Montfort University, Milton Keynes is carrying out a 3 year research project known as the Electronic Library Project or ELINOR which will work towards the creation of a large, indexed collection of electronic texts and images accessible to the students and staff via desktop workstations. The pilot phase will build on the existing information network and use the latest document image processing and text retrieval technologies to set up a central and secure location for the data. Outlines the investigative stages in evaluation and selecting a DIP system and the shortcomings of using a commercial DIP system for electronic libraries

Abstract

Describes ELINOR (Electronic Library Information Online Retrieval), the electronic library project of De Montfort University, based at Milton Keynes, UK. The project uses document image processing to build a document database containing the full contents of undergradutae texts, including copyright material and University documents. Against the background of the strategic aims of the multi campus university, describes the hardware and software used, the inputting of documents, searching and browsing, the use of a WWW interface, major issues in dealing with publishers, and the pricing model used. Briefly notes the results of a study of user satisfaction, and how use of the system is monitored
