    Abstract
    Mit dem 31. Dezember 2000 wurde das Förderkonzept "Global Info" des Bundesforschungsministeriums (BMBF) beendet. Hierdurch wird weder die Förderung der Fachinformation beendet, noch wird der Bereich der Digitalen Bibliotheken aufgegeben. Einerseits wird durch die "lnformationsverbünde" die Versorgung mit fachspezifischen elektronischen Angeboten gezielt verbessert werden. Andererseits wird im Bereich der Digitalen Bibliotheken eine "Leitvision" formuliert werden, an der sich künftige Vorhaben ausrichten. Zur Vorbereitung dieser Leitvision wurde am 1.1.2001 ein Planungsprojekt gestartet, das unter dem Titel "Digital Library-Forum" für die Dauer eines Jahres die inhaltliche Ausgestaltung dieser Leitvision moderieren wird. Entsprechende Workshops und Arbeitsgruppen werden in nächster Zeit durchgeführt bzw. eingerichtet. Projekte im Digital Library-Bereich können weiterhin eingereicht werden. Entsprechend dem in Global Info etablierten Verfahren können Projektskizzen, nun aber beim Projektträger Fachinformation (PTF), eingereicht werden. Anträge werden weiterhin durch ein Gutachtergremium, das zweimal im Jahr zusammen kommt, begutachtet. Der Global Info-Server wird im Laufe des Jahres 2001 durch einen vom Projektträger Fachinformation betriebenen Server ersetzt, der darüber hinaus neue und weitreichendere Aufgaben übernimmt. Dieser Server unter der URL <www.di-forum.de> soll in Kooperation mit der DFG und weiteren Förderern betrieben werden und als Forum aller Digital Library-Aktivitäten in Deutschland fungieren

    Abstract
    ADEPT is a 5-year project whose goals are to develop, deploy, and evaluate inquiry learning capabilities for the Alexandria Digital Library, an extant digital library of primary sources in geography. We interviewed nine geography faculty members who teach undergraduate courses about their information seeking for research and teaching and their use of information resources in teaching. These data were supplemented by interviews with four faculty members from another ADEPT study about the nature of knowledge in geography. Among our key findings are that geography faculty are more likely to encounter useful teaching resources while seeking research resources than vice versa, although the influence goes in both directions. Their greatest information needs are for research data, maps, and images. They desire better searching by concept or theme, in addition to searching by location and place name. They make extensive use of their own research resources in their teaching. Among the implications for functionality and architecture of geographic digital libraries for educational use are that personal digital libraries are essential, because individual faculty members have personalized approaches to selecting, collecting, and organizing teaching resources. Digital library services for research and teaching should include the ability to import content from common office software and to store content in standard formats that can be exported to other applications. Digital library services can facilitate sharing among faculty but cannot overcome barriers such as intellectual property rights, access to proprietary research data, or the desire of individuals to maintain control over their own resources. Faculty use of primary and secondary resources needs to be better understood if we are to design successful digital libraries for research and teaching.

    Abstract
    With the development of the World Wide Web, the "information search" has grown to be a significant business sector of a global, competitive and commercial market. Powerful players have entered this market, such as commercial internet search engines, information portals, multinational publishers and online content integrators. Will Google, Yahoo or Microsoft be the only portals to global knowledge in 2010? If libraries do not want to become marginalized in a key area of their traditional services, they need to acknowledge the challenges that come with the globalisation of scholarly information, the existence and further growth of the academic internet

    Abstract
    Am 26. und 27. Oktober 2010 trafen sich die Mitglieder der Internationalen Buchwissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft (IBG)' und interessierte Gäste in der Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel. Unter der Leitung des Vorsitzenden der IBG und Direktors der Universitäts- und Stadtbibliothek Köln, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schmitz, und des stellvertretenden Direktors der Herzog August Bibliothek, Dr. Thomas Stäcker, diskutierten Wissenschaftler und Bibliothekare zwei Tage lang in der Augusteerhalle über die Chancen und Risiken, die mit der zunehmenden Dominanz des Digitalen - digitaler Objekte und Prozesse - in Bibliotheken und Wissenschaft verbunden sind. Alle Interessierten, die an der Tagung nicht teilnehmen konnten, haben die Möglichkeit die Beiträge in einem Tagungsband nachzulesen, der im Nachgang zur Tagung erscheinen wird. Eröffnet wurde die Tagung durch den Hausherrn der Herzog August Bibliothek, Prof. Dr. Helwig Schmidt-Glintzer.3 In seinem Grußwort thematisierte er die Situation der Wissenschaft im 21. Jahrhundert und betonte, dass zentrale Fragestellungen, wie beispielsweise die mit der digitalen Archivierung verbundenen, derzeit keineswegs als gelöst angesehen werden können. Auch Schmitz begrüßte als Vorsitzender der IBG die Teilnehmer; es folgte eine inhaltliche Einführung in die Thematik der Tagung durch Stäcker.

    Abstract
    Recent, rapid changes in technology have resulted in a proliferation of choices for music storage and access. Portable, web-enabled music devices are widespread, and listeners now enjoy a plethora of options regarding formats, devices, and access methods. Yet in this mobile music environment, listeners' access and management strategies for music collections are poorly understood, because behaviors surrounding the organization and retrieval of music collections have received little formal study. Our current research seeks to enrich our knowledge of people's music listening and collecting behavior through a series of systematic user studies. In this paper we present our findings from interviews involving 20 adult and 20 teen users of commercial cloud music services. Our results contribute to theoretical understandings of users' music information behavior in a time of upheaval in music usage patterns, and more generally, the purposes and meanings users ascribe to personal media collections in cloud-based systems. The findings suggest improvements to the future design of cloud-based music services, as well as to any information systems and services designed for personal media collections, benefiting both commercial entities and listeners.

    Abstract
    Digitale Bibliotheken stellen als überregionale Wissensdepots digitalisierte Kulturgüter frei im Internet zur Verfügung. Infolge des Medienwandels werden sie vor immer neue Herausforderungen gestellt, welche die Betreiber in der Zukunft begegnen müssen. Dieser Beitrag widmet sich zwei prototypischen digitalen Bibliotheken, die jeweils einen multimedialen, interinstitutionellen und interkulturellen Sammelauftrag erfüllen wollen: die paneuropäisch ausgerichtete Europeana und die tendenziell global orientierte World Digital Library. Entstehungsgeschichten und Organisationsstrukturen dieser Projekte werden dargestellt, die wichtigsten Charakteristika werden verglichen. Abschließend werden zentrale Herausforderungen im Hinblick auf Datenbestand, Workflow, Metadatenstandards, Strategie und Zielsetzung sowie Nutzerfreundlichkeit aufgezeigt. Diese müssen von digitalen Bibliotheken zukünftig angemessen adressiert werden.

    Abstract
    The concept for the German Digital Libraries Program is imbedded in the Information Infrastructure Program of the German Federal Government for the years 1996-2000 which has been explicated in the Program Paper entitled "Information as Raw Material for Innovation".3 The Program Paper was published 1996 by the Federal Ministry for Education, Research, and Technology. The actual grants program "Global Info" was initiated by the Information and Communication Commission of the Joint Learned Societies to further technological advancement in enabling all researchers in Germany direct access to literature, research results, and other relevant information. This Commission was founded by four of the learned societies in 1995, and it has sponsored a series of workshops to increase awareness of leading edge technology and innovations in accessing electronic information sources. Now, nine of the leading research-level learned societies -- often those with umbrella responsibilities for other learned societies in their field -- are members of the Information and Communication Commission and represent the mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, chemists, educational researchers, sociologists, psychologists, biologists and information technologists in the German Association of Engineers. (The German professional librarian societies are not members, as such, of this Commission, but are represented through delegates from libraries in the learned societies and in the future, hopefully, also by the German Association of Documentalists or through the cooperation between the documentalist and librarian professional societies.) The Federal Ministry earmarked 60 Million German Marks for projects within the framework of the German Digital Libraries Program in two phases over the next six years. The scope for the German Digital Libraries Program was announced in a press release in April 1997,4 and the first call for preliminary projects and expressions of interest in participation ended in July 1997. The Consortium members were suggested by the Information and Communication Commission of the Learned Societies (IuK Kommission), by key scientific research funding agencies in the German government, and by the publishers themselves. The first official meeting of the participants took place on December 1, 1997, at the Deutsche Bibliothek, located in the renowned center of German book trade, Frankfurt, thus documenting the active role and participation of libraries and publishers. In contrast to the Digital Libraries Project of the National Science Foundation in the United States, the German Digital Libraries project is based on furthering cooperation with universities, scientific publishing houses (including various international publishers), book dealers, and special subject information centers, as well as academic and research libraries. The goals of the German Digital Libraries Project are to achieve: 1) efficient access to world wide information; 2) directly from the scientist's desktop; 3) while providing the organization for and stimulating fundamental structural changes in the information and communication process of the scientific community.

    Abstract
    The Australian Academic Research Library Information Network (AARLIN) aims to provide seamless access to Australian and international information resources for researchers via their personal computers through a personally customisable portal. The project has funding from the Australian Govemment. AARLIN commenced in the year 2000 with a pilot project and will develop into a fully operational service in Australian universities over the next three years. During the pilot project Ex Libris' Metalib and SFX software have been used to trial the AARLIN portal concept with a group of researchers. The results of a survey of the researchers are presented. It is concluded that the portal has the potential to enhance the work of researchers by improving their success in information searching.

    Abstract
    Librarians have long sought to select, evaluate, and organize information on the Internet. Efforts began with individual librarians sharing bookmark files of favorite sites and progressed to increasingly large, collaboratively produced general and subject/discipline-specific gateway Web sites or megasites. Megasites list major resources usually in a particular subject area or discipline. Library portals that review, evaluate, and sometimes rate and rank resources grew from some of these Web sites. Both megasites and portals serve as gateways to the Internet. Many portals have developed from relatively small static files into large, dynamically generated databases providing descriptive annotations of selected resources and are increasingly overseen as global projects with formal policies and procedures. Portals now provide increasingly complex and sophisticated browse and search capabilities with a multitude of access points, often including call numbers and subject headings. These are described and compared. Future trends such as increased collaboration among portals; automated location, selection, and cataloging of resources; integration of multiple resource types; and increased access to full-content and virtual library services are also discussed.

    Abstract
    Digital libraries have become one of the most important Web services for information seeking. One of their main drawbacks is their global approach: In general, there is just one interface for all users. One of the key elements in improving user satisfaction in digital libraries is personalization. When considering personalizing factors, cognitive styles have been proved to be one of the relevant parameters that affect information seeking. This justifies the introduction of cognitive style as one of the parameters of a Web personalized service. Nevertheless, this approach has one major drawback: Each user has to run a time-consuming test that determines his or her cognitive style. In this article, we present a study of how different classification systems can be used to automatically identify the cognitive style of a user using the set of interactions with a digital library. These classification systems can be used to automatically personalize, from a cognitive-style point of view, the interaction of the digital library and each of its users.

    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore the communicative rituals of opening and closing manifested in e-mail-based Internet Public Library's (IPL's) online reference interaction. Design/methodology/approach - A total of 400 transcripts comprising user queries and responses by IPL librarians are examined. The opening and closing elements are identified to examine the way in which IPL librarians and users construct social space; that is, communicate their interpersonal and affective stances during the course of seeking and offering information. Findings - The results of data analysis show regular patterns of verbal and structural politeness indicators of opening and closing e-mail discourse. Linguistic elements such as greetings and acknowledgement are included in all the sampled transcripts; i.e. a 100 percent occurrence. Closing rituals have a 95 percent occurrence of linguistic features such as acknowledgement and invitation for follow-up. In contrast, there is a low occurrence of personalized openings through greeting by user name (26 percent). This lack of personalization also occurs in closings: personalized farewell through use of librarian name appears in only 8 percent of closings. Research limitations/implications - The employment of the various politeness tactics in opening and closing reflects the librarian's attention and concern to user's information needs, interests and wants. Such communicative competence narrows social distance and brings forth close socio-interpersonal space for interaction; this may, in turn, improve the overall quality of reference service. Research findings also indicate that more use of personal names may decrease the social distance between the librarian and user, resulting in increased solidarity and proximity. Originality/value - The study provides new insights into linguistic politeness and the functions of address forms such as personal names with a view toward developing effective opening and closing rituals that contribute to the enhancement of virtual reference services.

    Abstract
    Das Internetportal EVIFA Dieser Beitrag wird sich mit der konkreten Umsetzung des vom Sondersammelgebiet Volks- und Völkerkunde (SSG) an der Universitätsbibliothek (UB) der Humboldt-Universität (HU) zu Berlin initiierten EVIFA-Portals und seinen Modulen auseinandersetzen. Es interessiert hier vor allem die technische Umsetzung inhaltlicher Überlegungen und Vorgaben, sowie deren Rückwirkung auf inhaltliche Gesichtspunkte. Dieser Aspekt soll betont werden, weil von der Funktionalität der technischen Architektur in großem Maße die Nutzung und Akzeptanz innerhalb der wissenschaftlichen Community abhängt. Die Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Ethnologie wurde im Jahr 2001 von der UB der Humboldt-Universität beantragt. Am 1. Januar 2003 startete das von der DFG für zunächst zwei Jahre geförderte Projekt und war schon im Oktober 2003 das erste Mal als Portal EVIFA online. Die Zielgruppe ist in erster Linie das wissenschaftliche Personal der Fachrichtungen Volkskunde/Europäische Ethnologie/Empirische Kulturwissenschaft/Kulturanthropologie und der Völkerkunde/Ethnologie, soll aber darüber hinaus für die Nachbardisziplinen und museale Institutionen ebenso informativ und nutzbar sein. Um auch international genutzt und wahrgenommen zu werden, hat man sich zu einer zweisprachigen, deutsch-englischen Online-Ausgabe entschlossen. Beide wissenschaftlichen Richtungen, Volks- wie Völkerkunde, sind in außergewöhnlichem Maße interdisziplinär orientiert und überschneiden sich in ihren Forschungsthemen sowie in ihren Methoden deutlich, sodass es inhaltlich sinnvoll ist, eine gemeinsame Virtuelle Fachbibliothek anzubieten.

    Abstract
    Reference services have taken a central place in library and information services. They are also regarded as personalised services since in most cases a personal discussion takes place between a user and a reference librarian. Based on this, the librarian points to the sources that are considered to be most appropriate to meet the specific information need(s) of the user. Since the Web and digital libraries are meant for providing direct access to information sources and services without the intervention of human intermediaries, the pertinent question that appears is whether we need reference services in digital libraries, and, if so, how best to offer such services. Current digital libraries focus more on access to, and retrieval of, digital information, and hardly lay emphasis on the service aspects. This may have been caused by the narrower definitions of digital libraries formulated by digital library researchers. This paper looks at the current state of research in personalised information services in digital libraries. It first analyses some representative definitions of digital libraries in order to establish the need for personalised services. It then provides a brief overview of the various online reference and information services currently available on the Web. The paper also briefly reviews digital library research that specifically focuses on the personalisation of digital libraries and the provision of digital reference and information services. Finally, the paper proposes some new areas of research that may be undertaken to improve the provision of personalised information services in digital libraries.
