Abstract

For many years metadata has been recognised as a significant component of the digital information environment. Substantial work has gone into creating complex metadata schemes for describing digital content. Yet increasingly Web search engines, and Google in particular, are the primary means of discovering and selecting digital resources, although they make little use of metadata. This article considers how digital libraries can gain more value from their metadata by adapting it for Google users, while still following well-established principles and standards for cataloguing and digital preservation.

Abstract

One finding of the 2006 OCLC study of College Students' Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources was that students expressed equal levels of trust in libraries and search engines when it came to meeting their information needs in a way that they felt was authoritative. Seeking to incorporate this insight into our own instructional methodology, Schaffer Library at Union College has attempted to engineer a shift from Google to Google Scholar among our student users by representing Scholar as a viable adjunct to the catalog and to snore traditional electronic resources. By attempting to engage student researchers on their own terms, we have discovered that most of them react enthusiastically to the revelation that the Google they think they know so well is, it turns out, a multifaceted resource that is capable of delivering the sort of scholarly information that will meet with their professors' approval. Specifically, this article focuses on the fact that many Google Scholar searches link hack to our own Web catalog where they identify useful book titles that direct OPAC keyword searches have missed.

Abstract

Purpose - To investigate recent enhancements to the internet search engine Google. Design/methodology/approach - An opinion piece based on practitioner experience and recent commentary on search engine innovations. Findings - That recent innovations in Google's functionality have yet to deliver what they promise, but that it is still early to say what can genuinely be achieved in these areas. Research limitations/implications - This is an expression of opinion about a service that will be radically improved and developed in the immediate future. Practical implications - Gives some useful insights and tips on how to use existing digital library tools to achieve information retrieval results along the lines of those aspired to by Google. Originality/value - An attempt to give clear, practice-based examples of how to apply recent digital information retrieval developments to contemporary library work.

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.

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to form one of a series which will give an overview of so-called "transformational" areas of digital library technology. The aim will be to assess how much real transformation these applications are bringing about, in terms of creating genuine user benefit and also changing everyday library practice. Design/methodology/approach - An overview of the present state of development of the one-stop shop library search engine, with particular reference to its relationship with the underlying bibliographic databases to which it provides a simplified single interface. Findings - The paper finds that the success of federated searching has proved valuable but limited to date in creating a one-stop shop search engine to rival Google Scholar; but the persistent value of the bibliographic databases sitting underneath a federated search system means that a harvesting search engine could well answer the need for a true one-stop search engine for academic and scholarly information. Research limitations/implications - This paper is based on the hypothesis that Google's success in providing such an apparently high degree of access to electronic journal services is not what it seems, and that it does not render library discovery tools obsolete. It argues that Google has not diminished the pre-eminent role of library bibliographic databases in mediating access to e-journal text, although this hypothesis needs further research to validate or disprove it. Practical implications - The paper affirms the value of bibliographic databases to practitioner librarians and the potential of single interface discovery tools in library practice. Originality/value - The paper uses statistics from US LIS sources to shed light on UK discovery tool issues.

The hbz (Academic Library Center, Cologne) has a strong focus on search engine applications: Beyond the projected integration of respective technologies into the new release of the Digital Library portal solution (DigiBib6), vascoda background services also apply and take advantage of search engine technology. Experience since 2003 has given proof that building and updating of search engine indexes involves a vast amount of resources. The use of search engine federations, however, pledges major improvements: The total amount of data records held in linked indexes can be almost unlimited but also allow for a joint output of all hits retrieved. A federation also comes with excellent response times - hits retrieved can also refer to or link into the original system's layout. Nonetheless, the major challenge these days is different search engine technologies, e.g. Lucene and FAST, the variations in terms of ranking, and the implementation or non-implementation of so-called drill-downs. The lecture is designed to give a brief insight into the hbz search engine workshop with an introduction to the special project state of play.

Abstract

This article describes the journey from the conception of and vision for a modern search-engine-based search environment to its technological realisation. In doing so, it takes up the thread of an earlier article on this subject, this time from a technical viewpoint. As well as presenting the conceptual considerations of the initial stages, this article will principally elucidate the technological aspects of this journey. The starting point for the deliberations about development of an academic search engine was the experience we gained through the generally successful project "Digital Library NRW", in which from 1998 to 2000-with Bielefeld University Library in overall charge-we designed a system model for an Internet-based library portal with an improved academic search environment at its core. At the heart of this system was a metasearch with an availability function, to which we added a user interface integrating all relevant source material for study and research. The deficiencies of this approach were felt soon after the system was launched in June 2001. There were problems with the stability and performance of the database retrieval system, with the integration of full-text documents and Internet pages, and with acceptance by users, because users are increasingly performing the searches themselves using search engines rather than going to the library for help in doing searches. Since a long list of problems are also encountered using commercial search engines for academic use (in particular the retrieval of academic information and long-term availability), the idea was born for a search engine configured specifically for academic use. We also hoped that with one single access point founded on improved search engine technology, we could access the heterogeneous academic resources of subject-based bibliographic databases, catalogues, electronic newspapers, document servers and academic web pages.

Abstract

DAFFODIL is a search system for digital libraries aiming at strategic support during the information search process. From a user point of view this strategic support is mainly implemented by high-level search functions, so-called stratagems, which provide functionality beyond today's digital libraries. Through the tight integration of stratagems and with the federation of heterogeneous digital libraries, DAFFODIL reaches high effects of synergy for information and services. These effects provide high-quality metadata for the searcher through an intuitively controllable user interface. The implementation of stratagems follows a tool-based model.

Abstract

Traditional on-line search services such as Dialog, DataStar and Lexis provide a wide range of search features (boolean and proximity operators, truncation, etc). This paper discusses the use of these features for effective searching, and argues that these features are required, regardless of advances in search engine technology. The literature on on-line searching is reviewed, identifying features that searchers find desirable for effective searching. A selective survey of current digital libraries available on the Web was undertaken, identifying which search features are present. The survey indicates that current digital libraries do not implement a wide range of search features. For instance: under half of the examples included controlled vocabulary, under half had proximity searching, only one enabled browsing of term indexes, and none of the digital libraries enable searchers to refine an initial search. Suggestions are made for enhancing the search effectiveness of digital libraries; for instance, by providing a full range of search operators, enabling browsing of search terms, enhancement of records with controlled vocabulary, enabling the refining of initial searches, etc.

Abstract

The dominant method currently used to improve the quality of Internet search systems is often called "digital democracy." Such an approach implies the utilization of the majority opinion of Internet users to determine the most relevant documents: for example, citation index usage for sorting of search results (google.com) or an enrichment of a query with terms that are asked frequently in relation with the query's theme. "Digital democracy" is an effective instrument in many cases, but it has an unavoidable shortcoming, which is a matter of principle: the average intellectual and cultural level of Internet users is very low- everyone knows what kind of information is dominant in Internet query statistics. Therefore, when one searches the Internet by means of "digital democracy" systems, one gets answers that reflect an underlying assumption that the user's mind potential is very low, and that his cultural interests are not demanding. Thus, it is more correct to use the term "digital ochlocracy" to refer to Internet search systems with "digital democracy." Based an the well-known mathematical mechanism of linear programming, we propose a method to solve the indicated problem.

Abstract

The quality of information on the Internet is varied. Examines some of the review services available and their evaluation criteria: cool sites, Excite, GNN Select, Magellan, CyberHound, iGuide, Yahoo!, Internet Life, Point and services from librarians. The latter services follow print reviewing criteria. Discusses how these criteria can be modified for use with digital resources, stressing that current reviewing processes on the Internet need to change to ensure quality

"Es soll der "Airbus von morgen" werden. Mit diesen Worten hat Frankreichs Staatspräsident Jacques Chirac das deutsch-französische Projekt einer gemeinsamen europäischen Suchmaschine angekündigt, mit der man dem US-Riesen Google Konkurrenz machen will. Das deutsch-französische Kind wurde Quaero getauft. Kein ganz einfacher Name für ein Produkt, das einen weltweiten Marktführer verdrängen soll, der so allgegenwärtig und dominant ist, dass der Begriff "googeln" längst in unsere Sprache Eingang gefunden hat und im Duden verzeichnet ist. Quaero heißt auf Lateinisch "Ich suche". Das klingt nach europäischem Bildengsdünkel und spiegelt zudem den gegenwärtigen Zustand des Projektes gut wider. Gesucht wurde in Deutschland lange nach kompetenten Industriepartnern und gemeinsam mit den Franzosen nach einer Technologie, welche die Möglichkeiten einer herkömmlichen Recherche, wie man sie bei Google, Yahoo oder MSN Search machen kann, bei weitem überschreiten würde. Denn anstatt mittels bestimmter Suchbegriffe bloß Texte im Netz aufzuspüren, soll Quaero eine multimediale Suchmaschine werden, die auch Bilder, Filme und Audiodateien aufspürt. Die Quaero-Initiative ist Teil von Frankreichs Kampf gegen amerikanische Kulturhegonomie. Mit Googles Ankündigung, bis 2015 rund 15 Millionen Bücher zu digitalisieren und über "Google Print" online zugänglich zu machen, begann der Widerstand. Wortführer des Protestes und Initiator ist Jean-Noel Jeanneney, Direktor der französischen Nationalbibliothek. Sollte das literarische Erbe Europas von einem US-Konzern digital verwaltet werden, so Jeanneneys Begründung, drohe eine Hierarchisierung und Ordnung des Wissens nach rein kommerziellen Gesichtspunkten und aus einer einzig amerikanischen Perspektive. Neben den Marktführern Google, Yahoo und MSN Search, die 90 Prozent Marktanteil haben, existieren viele weitere Suchmaschinen im Internet. Auch das Portal Accoona.eu, das in sieben EU-Sprachen arbeitet, will Google Konkurrenz machen. Aber selbst Branchenriesen scheitern daran seit Jahren. Google investiert 400 Millionen Dollar jährlich in Forschung und Entwicklung. Bislang sucht der Internetnutzer vergeblich nach Quaero. Wer sich ein erstes Bild machen will, landet auf der Webseite einer amerikanischen Firma. Der Domainname Quaero.com ist nämlich schon vergeben. Quaero.org ist bislang passwortgeschützt. Sollte sich Quaero tatsächlich als der "Airbus von morgen" erweisen, könnte auch diesem deutsch-französischen Projekt schnell der Absturz drohen."

Abstract

Presents an overview of Wired Digital Inc.'s HotBot search engine, and ponders the future of the product, now that the company is being acquired by Lycos. Reviews the business strategy that drove Wired Digital to seek acquisition by a company capable of providing needed financial backing, technology infrastructure, and product development and marketing muscle. Lycos was interested in the property as part of its 'best-of-breed' acquisition plan for building out the new Lycos Network. Explores the likely scenarios for the HotBot product going forward under the Lycos brand, and expresses hope that Lycos will have the foresight to keep the attractive and sophisticated search engine well funded and developed
