    Abstract
    Describes the InfoAccess Project at the Univ of Saskatchewan Libraries which compared searching of manual and automated indexes by 22 undergraduate psychology students to determine their searching preferences by ranking 'Psychological abstracts' in 3 formats: print, CD-ROM and a locally mounted tape service called InfoAccess. Their satisfaction regarding the physical environment, equipment, and instructional aids was also recorded. Users preferred to search with CD-ROM, but found InfoAccess to be an acceptable alternative

    Abstract
    Examines the implementations of document ranking based on inverted files. Studies three heuristic methods for implementing the term frequency X inverse document frequency weighting strategy. The basic idea of the heuristic methods is to process the query terms in an order so that as many top documents as possible can be identified without processing all of the query terms. The heuristics were evaluated and compared. The results show improved performance. Two methods for estimating the retrieval accuracy were studied. All experiments were based on four test collection made available with the SMART system

    Abstract
    Reviews research which aims to improve the ways in which documents are presented to the user within the MenUSE (Menu based User Search Engine) search intermediary system. MenUSE is an advanced intermediary system for end user searching of bibliographic databases originating in CANSEARCH, a prototype intermediary system that used an expert systems approach to generate searches in cancer therapy related information retrieval from MEDLINE. In particular it investigates ways in which the order of presentation of documents can be made more effective. Discusses alternative schemes for document reordering, the main emphasis being on the provision of relevance ranking where the most relevant documents are presented to the user first. Examines the feasibility of incorporating such ranking techniques into MenUSE and compares 3 algorithms which simulate collection frequency ranking on a remote bibliographic database host using Boolean searching. Concludes that the CIRT algorithm offers the best performance. Proposes a design for an enhancement to the MenUSE system which will be the subject of user testing to verify the effectiveness of ranking in MenUSE

    Abstract
    The performance of 8 ranking algorithms was evaluated with respect to their effectiveness in ranking terms for query expansion. The evaluation was conducted within an investigation of interactive query expansion and relevance feedback in a real operational environment. Focuses on the identification of algorithms that most effectively take cognizance of user preferences. user choices (i.e. the terms selected by the searchers for the query expansion search) provided the yardstick for the evaluation of the 8 ranking algorithms. This methodology introduces a user oriented approach in evaluating ranking algorithms for query expansion in contrast to the standard, system oriented approaches. Similarities in the performance of the 8 algorithms and the ways these algorithms rank terms were the main focus of this evaluation. The findings demonstrate that the r-lohi, wpq, enim, and porter algorithms have similar performance in bringing good terms to the top of a ranked list of terms for query expansion. However, further evaluation of the algorithms in different (e.g. full text) environments is needed before these results can be generalized beyond the context of the present study

    Abstract
    Proposes a new idea of searching under the multi-engine search architecture to overcome the problems associated with relevance ranking. These include clustering of the search results and extraction of co-occurence keywords, which, with the user's feedback, better refines the query in the searching process. The system also provides the construction of the concept space to gradually customize the search tool to fit the usage for the user at the same time

The service enables users to supply feedback on the utility of these resources relative to their informatio needs, and provides dynamically updated ranking of resources based on incremental user feedback. Individuals may access the service from anywhere on the Internet and require no special software. The service simplifies the process of sharing URLs within groups, in comparison with manual methods involving email. The underlying bookmark organization scheme is more natural and flexible than current hierarchical schemes supported by the major Web browsers and enables rapid access to stored bookmarks

    Abstract
    The WebQuery system offers a powerful new method for searching the Web based on connectivity and content. Examines links among the nodes returned in a keyword-based query. Rankes the nodes, giving the highest rank to the most highly connected nodes. By doing so, finds hot spots on the Web that contain information germane to a user's query. WebQuery not only ranks and filters the results of a Web query; it also extends the result set beyond what the search engine retrieves, by finding interesting sites that are highly connected to those sites returned by the original query. Even with WebQuery filering and ranking query results, the result set can be enormous. Explores techniques for visualizing the returned information and discusses the criteria for using each of the technique

    Abstract
    The Malay language is widely used in Malaysia, Indonesia and brunei. The growth in the number of documents written in Malay justifies the need for a document retrieval system for that language. Describes the implementation of a bilingual Malay and English full text document retrieval systems: SIStem capaian DOkumen Multilingua (SISDOM), by the Kebangsaan University Malaysia. The system incorporates many facilities for users, including the choice of search techniques, browsing of retrieved documents, and ranking of documents

    Abstract
    Investigates document ranking methods in thesaurus-based Boolean retrieval systems and proposes a new thesaurus-based ranking algorithm, the Extended Relevance (E-Relevance) algorithm. The E-Relevance algorithm integrates the extended Boolean model and the thesaurus-based relevance algorithm. Since the E-Relevance algorithm has all the desirable properties of previous thesauri-based ranking algorithms. It also ranks documents effectively by uisng terms dependence information from the thesaurus. Through performance comparison shows that the proposed algorithm achieved higher retrieval effectiveness than the others proposed earlier

    Abstract
    Presents both a summary of past research done in the development of ranking algorithms and detailed instructions on implementing a ranking type of retrieval system. This type of retrieval system takes as input a natural language query without Boolean syntax and produces a list of records that 'answer' the query, with the records ranked in order of likely relevance. Ranking retrieval systems are particularly appropriate for end-users

    Abstract
    Online bibiographic, database searches typically produce hundreds of retrieved citations with only about 20-40% relevant to the search topic and/or problem statement. Significant amounts of time are required to categorize and select the relevant citations. A software system-SORT-AIDS/SABRE-has been developes which ranks the citations in terms of relevance. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive user evaluation of the relevance ranking procedures. Test results show that the software generated distributions approach the ideal distribution-all relevant citations at the beginning of the collection-in 22% of the cases, are 23% better than the random distribution-relevant citations distributed uniformly throughout the dcollection-on average and are poorer than the random distribution in 4% of the cae.

    Abstract
    Reports results of a bibliometric study of the literature of Qigong: a relaxation technique used to teach patients to control their heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and other involuntary functions through controlles breathing. All articles indexed in the MEDLINE CD-ROM database, between 1965 and 1995 were identified using 'breathing exercises' MeSH term. The articles were analyzed for geographical and language distribution and a ranking exercise enabled a core list of periodicals to be identified. In addition, the study shed light on the changing frequency of the MeSH terms and evaluated the research areas by measuring the information from these respective MeSH headings

    Abstract
    Keyword based querying has been an immediate and efficient way to specify and retrieve related information that the user inquired. However, conventional document ranking based on an automatic assessment of document relevance to the query may not be the best approach when little information is given. Proposes an idea to integrate 2 existing techniques, query expansion and relevance feedback to achieve a concept-based information search for the Web

    Abstract
    Evaluates the performance of 8 major Internet search engines in answering 21 real reference questions and 5 made up subject questions. Reports on the retrieval and relevancy ranking abilities of the search engines. Concludes that the search engines did not produce good results for the reference questions unlike for the subject questions. The best engines are identified by type of questions, with Infoseek best for the subject questions, and OpenText best for refrence questions

    Abstract
    Presents Inquirus, a WWW meta search engine which works by downloading and analysing the individual documents. It makes improvements over existing search engines in a number of areas: more useful document summaries incorporating query term context, identification of both pages which no longer exist and pages which no longer contain the query terms, advanced detection of duplicate pages, improved document ranking using proximity information, dramatically improved precision for certain queries by using specific expressive forms, and quick jump links and highlighting when viewing the full document

    Abstract
    A software system has been developed which orders citations retrieved from an online database in terms of relevancy. The system resulted from an effort generated by NASA's Technology Utilization Program to create new advanced software tools to largely automate the process of determining relevancy of database citations retrieved to support large technology transfer studies. The ranking is based on the generation of an enriched vocabulary using lexical association methods, a user assessment of the vocabulary and a combination of the user assessment and the lexical metric. One of the key elements in relevancy ranking is the enriched vocabulary -the terms mst be both unique and descriptive. This paper examines term uniqueness. Six lexical association methods were employed to generate characteristic word indices. A limited subset of the terms - the highest 20,40,60 and 7,5% of the uniquess words - we compared and uniquess factors developed. Computational times were also measured. It was found that methods based on occurrences and signal produced virtually the same terms. The limited subset of terms producedby the exact and centroid discrimination value were also nearly identical. Unique terms sets were produced by teh occurrence, variance and discrimination value (centroid), An end-user evaluation showed that the generated terms were largely distinct and had values of word precision which were consistent with values of the search precision.

    Abstract
    Bradford distributions describe the relationship between 'journal productivities' and 'journal rankings by productivity'. However, different ranking conventions exist, implying some ambiguity as to what the Bradford distribution 'is'. A need accordingly arises for a standard ranking convention to assist comparisons between empirical data, and also comparisons between empirical data and theoretical models. Five ranking conventions are described including the one used originally by Bradford, along with suggested distinctions between 'Bradford data set', 'Bradford distribution', 'Bradford graph', 'Bradford model', and 'Bradford's law'. Constructions such as the Lotka distribution, Groos droop (generalised to accomodate growth as well as fall-off in the Bradford log-graph), Brookes hooks, and the slope and intercept of the Bradford log graph are clarified on this basis
