Abstract

The focus of this study is the search behavior of remote users of the University of California MELVYL Library System, an OPAC. Transaction logs from randomly selected remote user search sessions are analyzed. Descriptive data on the number and type of searches, choice of search mode and database, number of retrievals, number and type of errors, and use of system HELP facilities are presented. The search data have been cross-tabulated with demographic data on the same group of remote users, collected through an online survey conducted by the authors. Effectiveness of system usage is discussed. A case mode is made for the desirability of additional heuristics in the catalog portion of the system

Abstract

Examines a number of possible OSI system implementation strategies based on the various prevailing system facilities: processes, threads, kernel and front-end processors. Analyzes the pros and cons of the strategies showing their relative merits in implementation. The analysis leads to the recommendation of an enhanced subsystem architecture that holds the best compromise of the conflicting requirements of modularity and efficiency

Abstract

In Sept. 1990, the US Dept. of Education's Library Technology and Cooperation Grants Program awarded a three-year grant to the Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA), an agency of the Florida State University System, to develop software adhering to the ANSI Z39.50 Information Retrieval protocol standard. The Z39.50 software was to operate over the OSI communications protocols and be integrated with FCLA's NOTIS system, which is shared by all 9 state universities in Florida. In order to test the correctness of its Z39.50 software, FCLA sought out other library software developers who would be willing to develop Z39.50 systems of their own. As part of this process, FCLA helped to found the Z39.50 Implementor's Group (ZIG), which has since gone on to improve the standard and promote Z39.50 implementations throughout much of the North American library systems marketplace. Early on in the project, it became apparent that TCP/IP would be a more heavily used communication vehicle for Z39.50 messages than OSI. FCLA expanded its design to include TCP/IP and, by the end of the grant in Sept. 1993, will have a working Z39.50 system that can communicate over both OSI and TCP/IP networks

Abstract

Hartford University mounted a DRA Atlas Integrated library system in 1991, using a DECnet/Ethernet network and a VAX 6310 mainframe computer. As VAX VT320 terminals were available in many campus buildings, the library's catalogue could be searched from many locations and could be dialed up by remote users. Commercial databases in MARC format could be mounted on the system and searched with the same commands that users employed for the OPAC. Explains the use of Periodical Abstracts from UMI on the online catalogue. Discusses searching strategies and compares the Periodical Abstracts Ondisc CD-ROM with the tape loaded product

Abstract

The ANSI Z39.50 standard was adopted 10 years ago. It outlines a set of rules and procedures to allow a computer system to search the databases provided by another system and to retrieve the results of that search. Traces its development adoption in library automation product lines. Recent major developments have been the migration to version 3 and the adoption of community profiles. Community profiles are documents that describe agreements that a community of interest develops to ensure clients and servers can interpret in specific ways. Describes the Government Information Locators Service, WAIS, ATS, ZDSR, Cataloguing, CEOS CIP, Digital Collection, Digital Library Objects and Museum Profiles

Abstract

This article will examine the Z39.50 Information Retrieval protocol. It will look at some of the history of the protocol, its operation, and some of the major projects that have made use of it. There has been enough written (perhaps too much) about Z39.50 in the last several years so it is not intended to be a tutorial or detailed description of the protocol. The material that will be presented will try and put some context around the discussion. For those readers who are interested in delving into Z39.50 in a more technical manner, references to much of the material that has been written about it over the years will be provided at the end. Finally, the article will conclude with some thoughts on how technology and technological infrastructure have changed in the years since Z39.50 was initially developed and deployed, and where the protocol has so far lived up to its goals, and where it has perhaps failed to meet some of the high expectations that at least some people involved in the Z39.50 community held for it. The article will conclude with some of the author's speculations (and they are really no more than that) of what the future role of Z39.50 is likely to be.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine if the searching behaviour of remote users of LIAS, Penn State's online catalogue differed from those using the OPAC within the library. More than 1.000 searches done by remote users (those accessing the system via either dial-access or the university's computer network) were compared to more than 1.000 searches done by in-house users. Each search was duplicated step by step and analysed according to a pre-determined set of criteria. Although few dramatic differences were found between the 2 groups, there were enough subtle differences to generate interest. In general, remote users are the more sophisticated searchers, bearing out the assumption that remote users seem to have a better conceptual knowledge of how an information system should operate. On the other hand, they struggle more with the procedural details of how to use the OPAC. Dial-access users seem to constitute a unique group of users: their searches are often quite different than those done by either network or in-house users

Abstract

Expanded hours of access and the reduction of peak system loads are often cited as advantages of remote access to OPACs. This argument is based on the assumption that remote users search OPACs when libraries are closed or when there is low internal use. The study tested this assumption by performing a transactional log analysis of the remote and internal use of the OPAC at the Research Libraries of the New York Public Library. Analysis showed that pateerns of remote and internal use differed greatly. A large part of the remote searching occured when the Research Libraries were closed. Compared to internal searching, remote searching was distributed more evenly over the course of the day and the week. Results show that remote access expands the hours of use of the Online catalogue and has potential to reduce peak system loads at the Research Libraries

Abstract

OPACs in an increasing number of libraries are now available using the Joint Academic Network (JANET). Access has tended to be obstructed, for the casual user, by the lengthy JANET addressing codes and varying log-on procedures required by each library system. Discribed how a communications and menu package on an IBK/PC can be used so that by merely pressing cursor control, return and escape keays, any user can gain access to any one of over 40 OPACs linked to JANET

Abstract

Open System Interconnection (OSI) Standard 7498 appeared in 1984. Open systems of PCs and workstations decentralize information processing and divide it between several computers, based on the client-server concept. Relevant terminology is explained, including application protocol, bases of the SR/Z39.50 model, data transmission, search request services, query types, attribute sets, transmission format, transfer syntax, solution models and cooperation between library systems

Abstract

Examined two groups of online catalogue users segregated by their method of access to the system: terminals in the library or remote workstations. An online survey collected demographic data, perceptions on source and terminal accessibility, and information on usage, task variety and search satisfaction. Transaction logs furnished data on browsing behavious, while interviews of both groups provided additional information about remote use. Results indicate that remote use is comparable to traditional use

Abstract

The IOS rererence model of open distributed processing (RM-ODP) consists of: an overview of the reference model, the descriptive model, the prescriptive model, and the architectural semantics. They provide the concepts and rules of distributed processing to ensure openness between interacting distributed application components. Openness is a combination of characteristics: accessibility, heterogeneity, autonomy and distribution. The RM-ODP introduces the concept of viewpoint to describe a system from a particular set of concerns, and hence to deal with the complexity of distributed systems. While all the viewpoints are relevant to the description and design of distributed systems, the computational and engineering models are the ones that bear most directly on the design and implementation of distributed systems. From a distributes software engineering point of view, the computational and engineering viewpoints are again the most important; they reflect the software structure of the distributed application most closely. Concentrates on the computational and engineering viewpoints
