Abstract

Presents a state of the art review of WWW search engines from the earliest Internet precursors and noting: prblems inherent in the current range of WWW search engines; problems of searching the WWW (link persistence and lack of integrated search software); and analyzing the resulting search engine types (keyword or directory). Compares search engines of all types across their generic features (database content, retrieval software, and search interface), rather than on a search engine by search engine basis. Considers wider information access issues arising from the nature of the Internet and Web search engines and proposes a general strategy for using web search engines. Comments on the irony that a unitary global information space accessible via 1 freely accessible software package (WWW client browser) should be so balkanized by a plethora of search engines in complete reverse of the traditional world of printed, CD-ROM and online databases, where a limited number and comparatively stable range of search tools attemps to homogenize a large number of physically separate and disparate collections

Abstract

It is argued that the current generation of online catalogues do not meet basic user expectations about how to search for information. After a brief examination of virtual reality and its associated technology, a new form of online catalogue, the 'virtual reality library' is proposed. Users browse an information space, a computer-controlled set of shelf orderings for items. Its form, workings and design are investigated in detail. The concept of the virtual reality library is then applied to information resources which either have no physical repository or have one which is not accessible to users

Abstract

Examines the effects of the Internet on the work of descriptive cataloguer. Most of the effects stem from services available via the WWW and Web sites. These services either put the desriptive cataloguer in closer contact with suppliers, publishers, or vendors,or offer access to a vast range of reference or cataloguing information. Such services provided by the WWW will have a profound influence on the practice of descriptove cataloguing

Abstract

Proposes a model of a hypermedia software package fronting an existing database that would be applicable to the type of database used by museums for use by the public developed by Loughborough University, Department of Information and Library Studies, and Leicester University, Department of Museums Studies. Museums have text databases of their collections that, for public use, would require navigational access. Focuses on the design of a hypermedia front end for a hypothetical museum, using services information and object records from real museums. The resulting Hypermuse system consists of a 386 personal computer running dBase as a back end and an Apple Macintosh LC running HyperCard as the front end: a serial link, managed at each end by the packages pcAnywhere and Commstalk respectively, connects the machines. When evaluated, the prototype system was found to be basically sound but in need of minor improvements in the front end. Concludes that the concept is viable for implementation in museums

Abstract

Hypermedia offers a new paradigm for the design of information systems, yet there are few working applications. The best situation is for a database to hold information and a hypermedia package to provide the interface. Explains why museum information systems are ideal for investigating the augmentation of traditional databases with hypermedia. 2 leading examples in the UK are the Micro Gallery at the National Gallery and the Design Museum public catalogue. Describes a prototype development of an interface for the visiting public to allow access to the museum database. Object records from Leicestershire Museums local collection and the George III collection of early scientific instruments from the Science Museum, London, were used. Object records were stored on an IBM PC in dBase databases. The hypermedia front-end was built using Hypercard on a Macintosh LC computer. Covers system design and evaluation

Abstract

Although research and teaching can (and should) be seen as international, there must also be an underlying national focus, based on the structure of higher education in a particular country and a corresponding unique pattern of teaching and research. This column therefore looks at research and teaching in metadata in the UK and Ireland, since I work at Strathclyde University in the UK that teaches and researches metadata. This column illustrates that, indeed, the current state of research and teaching in metadata is currently healthy in the UK and Ireland. There are a variety or research activities related to metadata taking place. These range from metadata for digital preservation through 'mainstream' metadata applications in library and information work to contributing to work an the semantic web itself. Among the leading organisational foci of metadata research in the UK are: - the Metadata Group at UKOLN (formerly the UK Office of Library and Information Networking) at the University of Bath (http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/) - the Semantic Web Research Group at the Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) at the University of Bristol (http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk/discovery/) - the Centre for Digital Library Research (CDLR) at the University of Strathclyde (http://cdlr.strath.ac.uk/).
