Abstract

The Internet now provides access to so much information that it is a problem to know what is available and how to navigate through it. The Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) is one project aiming to help solve the problem for the end user, by means of a graphical user inferface and the use of natural language for queries, which is then translated into the WAIS protocol. Describes how WAIS was developed, how it works, and difficulties with the project

Abstract

The Internet provides access to hundreds of library and information systems around the world. However, online library systems and databases exhibit a variety of limitations which are often not apparent to the user. Briefly discusses the following: scope and content of databases; limitations for locally loaded periodical indexes; dissimilar search protocols; unfamiliar log- in, log-off and terminal requirements; online help and ease of use; and passwording

Abstract

The Internet refers to more than 50.000 backbone regional and local computer networks in more than 50 countries with an estimated user base of over 3 million people. Finding out who has what available on the Internet has become a real problem since the network is expanding so quickly. Describes Archie (the McGill School of Computer Science Archive Server Listing Service), a tool which was developed to help solve this problem. Also describes Gopher, a distributed networking and document delivery system designed to access electronic information and navigate the Internet

Abstract

Describes Veronica, an Internet navigational tool developed at the University of Nevada in 1992, which indexes the menu items of hundreds of Gophers, allows users to search its indexes and provides access to services retrieved by such searches. Explains how to connect to Veronica, how gophers are included in a Veronica search, and the availability of the Veronica server software. Lists 4 publicly-accessible Veronica servers which index over 500 gopher servers

Abstract

Discusses the factors to be considered in deciding how many public access terminals and workstations should be installed for library online catalogues. Considers building size and layout as significant factors in this matter and notes that the introduction of new physical facilities usually requires extra terminals. Outlines the effect of increasing the resources available through the system, providing peripheral equipment (e.g. printers), and providing a graphical user interface. Notes the impact of remote users when the system is networked and the value of providing direct plug-in network connections to institutional networks for users who bring in their own laptops. Highlights questions of system capacity and communications as factors to be considered also

Abstract

2nd part of a 2 part review of the electronic journal marketplace in 1997. Covers the activities of companies who aggregate under a single umbrella large numbers of electronic journals from a variety of publishers. In some cases the journals are centrally loaded and offered through a common interface, in others only abstract and citation information are offered, but a common gateway is provided to a wide variety of publishers. Covers: OCLC Electronic Collections Online, Blackwell's Electronic Journal Navigator, Institute for Scientific Information, JSTOR Project, OVID Technologies Inc., EBSCO Information Services, Information Access Company, University Microfilms International, ProQuest, ProQuest Direct, LEXIS-NEXIS, and commerical document delivery and subscription services
