Abstract

The advent of new information retrieval (IR) technologies and approaches to storage and retrieval provide communities with previously unheard of opportunities for mass documentation, digitization, and the recording of information in all its forms. This book introduces and contextualizes these developments and looks at supporting research in IR, the debates, theories and issues. Contributed by an international team of experts, each authored chapter provides a snapshot of changes in the field, as well as the importance of developing innovation, creativity and thinking in IR practice and research. Key discussion areas include: browsing in new information environments classification revisited: a web of knowledge approaches to fiction retrieval research music information retrieval research folksonomies, social tagging and information retrieval digital information interaction as semantic navigation assessing web search machines: a webometric approach. The questions raised are of significance to the whole international library and information science community, and this is essential reading for LIS professionals , researchers and students, and for all those interested in the future of IR.

Abstract

The future of reference librarianship as a viable part of the library depends on developing a proactive, participatory approach to automation. Aims to pull together and explain the important elements of change likely to influence library information services. Reviews some of the ways various schools of thought look at library information and communication. Focuses on information, its relationship to the library, and its rate of growth. Discusses the dynamics of communications as a process and examines it vis-a-vis the library

Abstract

The Joint Academic Network (JANET) was inaugurated in 1984, combining the functions of several previous academic and research networks. It is a private X.25 packet-switched network, managed by the Network Executive, and funded by the Computer Board for the Universities and Research Counsils. JANET now provides a data communicatons infrastructure, an internet, between the local area networks of over 100 universities, polytechnics, research institutions, and others, including the British Library. Discusses the information services available to the academic community, the role of libraries (particularly the British Library) in providing them, and the techniques available.

Abstract

New Directions in Human Information Behavior, co-edited by Drs. Amanda Spink and Charles Cole provides an understanding of the new directions, leading edge theories and models in human information behavior. Information behavior is conceptualized as complex human information related processes that are embedded within an individual's everyday social and life processes. The book presents chapters by an interdisciplinary range of scholars who show new directions that often challenge the established views and paradigms of information behavior studies. Beginning with an evolutionary framework, the book examines information behaviors over various epochs of human existence from the Palaeolithic Era and within pre-literate societies, to contemporary behaviors by 21st century humans. Drawing upon social and psychological science theories the book presents a more integrated and holistic approach to the understanding of information behaviors that include multitasking and non-linear longitudinal processes, individuals' information ground, information practices and information sharing, digital behaviors and human information organizing behaviors. The final chapter of the book integrates these new approaches and presents an overview of the key trends, theories and models for further research. This book is directly relevant to information scientists, librarians, social and evolutionary psychologists. Undergraduate and graduate students, academics and information professionals interested in human information behavior will find this book of particular benefit.
