Abstract

Confirms the accuracy of a prediction 4 years ago that the CD-ROM graphic interfaces then available would be rivalled in online. Many Web based services now outperform CD-ROM models and magazine pages often look better on the Web than on CD-ROM. Desirable, but not widely available, is the facility to download data from CD-ROM databases. The best CD-ROM authority and retrieval software packages with impressible capabilities remain expensive but there are reasonably priced alternatives for Web publishing and database searching, many of which are derived from CD-ROM originals. A new software development which allows replication of Web sites on CD-ROM will feature in articles in future issues of 'Information today'

Abstract: The 1st of 3 articles discussing the reasons why Web database publishing is a growing trend and the options available for moving databases from desktops to the Web. Reasons concern accessibility, paper saving, distribution costs and the desire to reduce reliance on traditional database publishers. Advises on various types of database management programs which provide for HTML output, and their applications to, e.g. library acquisitions and bibliographies. Distinguishes between server-side and user-side extensions and reviews a number of relevant products

Abstract

Users with unlimited Web access can now access a wide range of reference materials and consumer guides thus avoiding the expense of buying them on CD-ROMs. Nevertheless, some CD-ROMs provide significant extras to Web products. Reviews the Complete National Geographic, the Leonardo database and FDR (Rossevelt) from Corbis, Grolier's Picasso, Dorling Kindersley's The Ultimate Human Body, Microsoft's Virtual Globe, Rand McNally's New Millennium World Atlas, the 4 encyclopedias: Compton, Grolier, Encarta and World Book, the combined reference tool Bookshelf'98 and the game, Riven by Broderbund

Abstract

Overview of product development among Web search engines. They all went through a language acquisition phase in the past 2 years at an accelerated pace, with results that even the largest traditional services would envy. Spotlights some of the best features, including AltaVista's honouring of upper case and assumption of adjacency; InfoSeek's ability to place reviewed sites at the top of a results list, and its automatic pluralization and singularization; Northern Light's user controlled single and multiple character truncation; Excite's ability to group and ungroup results; HotBot's option to limit a search to specific major disciplines; and Lycos Pro's user controlled ranking of search results. Web searching has never been a more intuitive or user friendly process

Abstract

Recommends for libraries the use of some of the features of HTML 3.2 as the least expensive and sometimes the only feasible approach to making an existing database available on the Web, referring to the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography as an excellent illustration of what can be achieved. Describes how to apply HTML using the example of a Web prototype of an abstracting and indexing database of 12 volumes of 'Processes in Hawaii', created as part of a course in library and information science at the University of Hawaii. Explains the choosing of primary access points, linking, anchoring references to make the browser jump and show the exact section of the document where a name or term appears, and framing to retain displays simultaneously on the screen

Abstract

A detailed description of how to use Java applets and Common Gateway Interface (CGI)/Dynamic Link Library (DLL) programs for Web publication of textual databases. The advantages of Java applets include low cost, flexible and visually appealing search interfaces, and the ability to be embedded in HTML pages, eliminating the need for Internet service provider permissions for their use. Highlights the FindIt family of Java applets from DoubleOLogic as one of the best product lines in the category. CGI programs may be written in Perl, Java, or some other language, and like DLL programs, must be installed on the server side. Notes that small-scale CGI and DLL applications cost from $150 to $8,000. Highlights Insight from Enigma Inc. as an excellent program at the high end of the cost range

Abstract

1997 saw fierce competition among the publishers of print, CD-ROM and online telephone directories in the USA. Considers whether it is worth buying any white pages CD-ROM now that such information is freely available over the Internet. compares 3 versions of the white pages information based on American Business Information (ABI) data: American Directory Assistance (Http://www.lookupusa.com); InfoSpace (http://www.infospace.com); and the 7-disc CD-ROM database PhoneSearch 3.0. Concludes that for casual use such as looking up names, the Web databases are much more efficient. The CD-ROM version may be better for those who regularly want to compile mailing lists and phone lists to target a district
