Abstract: Knowing the inner workings of an online or CD-ROM system may help to explain strange results, improve search strategies and aid trouble shooting. Discusses search strategies for Boolean and for statistical search engines; how DIALOG's Boolean system treats blank spaces; default settings for searches; how DIALOG defines words; stop words; automatioc truncation and automatic substitute features

Abstract: WESTLAW is one of the first major commercial online systems to embrace both natural language input and partial match searching. Provides a backgroud to WESTLAW. Explains how the WESTLAW Is Natural (WIN) search engine works. Some searchers find that when searching with commands and Boolean logic, results differ drastically from those produces by searching with WIN. Discusses exact match Boolean logic search engines

Abstract

Outlines 3 generations of online searching: to 1981, when personal computers became ubiquitous, when searching was done from dumb terminals by intermediaries; from 1982 to 1991, when through the use of the PC, faster transmission speeds and the advent of ASCII full text, specialized end users joined intermediaries in the exploitation of online; and a generation characterized by multimedia PCs, higher transmission speeds, ASCII and 'image' full text databases, the invlovement of the general end user. Reviews the evolution of these 3 generations in 4 specific areas: content/databases; people and organizations involved; the places people search; motives for using online; and search engines and interfaces used

Abstract

Purpose - This article is an edited version of a report commissioned by the British Library and JISC to identify how the specialist researchers of the future (those born after 1993) are likely to access and interact with digital resources in five to ten years' time. The purpose is to investigate the impact of digital transition on the information behaviour of the Google Generation and to guide library and information services to anticipate and react to any new or emerging behaviours in the most effective way. Design/methodology/approach - The study was virtually longitudinal and is based on a number of extensive reviews of related literature, survey data mining and a deep log analysis of a British Library and a JISC web site intended for younger people. Findings - The study shows that much of the impact of ICTs on the young has been overestimated. The study claims that although young people demonstrate an apparent ease and familiarity with computers, they rely heavily on search engines, view rather than read and do not possess the critical and analytical skills to assess the information that they find on the web. Originality/value - The paper reports on a study that overturns the common assumption that the "Google generation" is the most web-literate.
