This document analyzes 106 Arabic websites related to libraries and information to assess their compliance with the Dublin Core metadata schema. It finds that university library websites make up the largest portion at 35.8%. Most sites neglect updating. It recommends increased cooperation between sites to design according to Dublin Core, make interfaces available in Arabic, and develop specialized sites like library networks and catalogs. Previous studies found Arabic library sites lack bookmarks, metadata use, and presence in global indexes due to neglect and lack of English interfaces.

This study compared the search results of Google, Yahoo, and Bing for queries related to health literacy. It found that the number of search results or "hits" varied between search engines and query types. For the single term "health literacy", Yahoo returned the most results, followed by Google then Bing. However, for phrase searches or those using Boolean operators, the search engine with the most results differed. An analysis of the first 40 websites for the search "health literacy" found that most were commercial or non-government organizations, with fewer from educational institutions or government sources. The study concluded that librarians can help users refine searches to find the most appropriate information sources given variations in search engine results and website sponsorships.

Web scale Discovery services are becoming the most sought after solution for Libraries to connect its patrons with the relevant information they seek. Many studies show that these services are getting wide acceptance from users as well as Library staff and making revolution in Library Information retrieval arena. Given such broad implications, selecting a new discovery service for libraries is an important undertaking. Library professionals should carefully evaluate options to meet their goal of finding the best potential match for their library. This Paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions by depicting various facets of Web Scale Discovery, how it differs from federated searching and highlights the important parameters to be considered for taking an informed and confident decision on selecting discovery service.
This document proposes a new technique to enhance the learning capabilities and reduce the computation intensity of a competitive learning multi-layered neural network using the K-means clustering algorithm. The proposed model uses a multi-layered network architecture with backpropagation learning to analyze web log data. Data preprocessing steps like cleaning, user identification, and transaction identification are applied to prepare the enterprise proxy log data for analysis. The proposed framework aims to discover useful patterns from web log data through a combination of K-means clustering and a feedforward neural network.
A NOVEL APPROACH FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUE FOR WEB USING NLPijnlc
Webpages are loaded with vast and different kinds of information about the entities in the real-world.
Information retrieval from the Web is of a greater significance today to get the accurate queried data
within the desired time frame which is increasingly becoming difficult with each passing day. Need to
develop a system to solve entity extraction problems from the web as compared to the traditional system.
It’s critical to have a clear understanding of natural language sentence processing in the web page along
with the structure of the web page to get the correct information with speed. Here we have proposed
approach for information retrieval technique for Web using NLP where techniques Hierarchical
Conditional Random Fields (i.e. HCRF) and extended Semi-Markov Conditional Random Fields (i.e. Semi-
CRF) along with Visual Page Segmentation is used to get the accurate results. Also parallel processing is
used to achieve the results in desired time frame. It further improves the decision making between HCRF
and Semi-CRF by using bidirectional approach rather than top-down approach. It enables better
understanding of the content and page structure.

This document discusses four approaches to interpreting biblical prophecy:
1) Preterist - focuses on prophecies fulfilled in the 1st century church. It references Matthew 24:21-22 about great distress coming upon the world.
2) Historicist - sees prophecy as a road map of world history. It lists biblical references paired with their historical fulfillments.
3) Futurist - views prophecy as a blueprint for end times events yet to come. It references Revelation 1:19 about writing what will happen later.
4) Idealist - interprets prophecy as conveying timeless spiritual principles, not literal events. It references 2 Peter 3:13 about a new heaven and earth.
The document discusses how learning and teaching may change with the adoption of Web 2.0 technologies. It suggests that learning will become more exponential, networked, and focused on sharing knowledge rather than proprietary information. Teaching may become more learner-controlled and blur the boundaries between formal and informal education. The document also raises questions about whether Web 2.0 will truly enable more collaborative learning or just reinforce existing biases, and whether it could undermine established expertise.
This document provides training on how to organize and build a successful network marketing business. It emphasizes treating the business seriously rather than as a hobby, setting schedules and goals, recruiting a strong downline team, prospecting for new customers, and using motivation and praise to encourage the downline. Building residual income through a large downline is key to eventual wealth in network marketing.
To appreciate the paradigm shift involved in the next generation search systems one needs to look back at the traditional approach to resource discovery and compare to the new trends. Here I focus on three aspects:
• Databases versus search engines
• Federated versus integrated search
• Integrated versus modular architecture.
Faceted Navigation (LACASIS Fall Workshop 2005)Bradley Allen
Faceted navigation is a new software approach that provides an overview of available information using metadata properties or "facets". It goes beyond search by providing context and repeatability. While challenges remain around scale, algorithms, and usability, faceted navigation has the potential to significantly improve finding and discovering information when combined with Semantic Web standards like RDF.
How discovery impacts of users' experiencesKatherine Rose
In the 21st century the academic library supports both research activities and teaching outcomes of faculty members and students through web-scale discovery services. These discovery services embrace new technologies to provide deep discovery of vast scholarly collections from a one-stop access interface, relying on a central index of pre-harvested data. With unified indexing of full-text library content, users’ experience of search and retrieval is greatly improved.
Discovery is changing the way that library users find and access library materials, especially electronic resources. In the opening part of this presentation, I will share my experiences of using different discovery systems – Summon, Primo and Enterprise – in my current and previous roles, in term of differences, strengths and common areas among these tools. Relevant findings from the literature and latest research reports will be sketched. I will also speak of how technical services teams can support the next generation of discovery systems that will help the progress of the digital library field. The presentation will conclude with the approach of technical services towards future discovery.

Establishing the Connection: Creating a Linked Data Version of the BNBnw13
The document summarizes the British Library's process of creating a linked data version of metadata from the British National Bibliography (BNB). It describes establishing an open metadata strategy, initial steps taken in 2010 to develop linked data capabilities, and the current status. It then details the journey of migrating BNB MARC records to RDF, including selecting data to link to, matching approaches used, and the MARC to RDF conversion workflow.
The document discusses the next generation of integrated library systems moving towards modularity and outward integration. Key points are:
1) Future integrated library systems will be more modular, allowing components to be combined more flexibly like Lego blocks. This will enable linking between different systems rather than building monolithic systems.
2) Integration should focus outwardly, making library collections visible on the open web where users search. This allows pulling users from search engines into library resources.
3) A longer term vision sees a more coherent global system for discovery and delivery of information across open, loosely connected systems. Libraries play a role alongside other providers and search engines.

I was invited to speak at OMCap Berlin 2014 about the close relationship between search engines and user experience with prescriptive guidance to gain higher rankings and more conversions.
1) Information architecture is the structure and design of shared information environments like websites and intranets. It involves organizing, labeling, and designing search and navigation systems to support usability.
2) An information architect determines the content, organization, labeling, search, and navigation of a website to help users find what they need. They balance user and business needs.
3) Best practices for information architecture include user research methods like content audits, card sorting, task analysis and usability testing to understand users and design accordingly. Consistency, standards, and a user-centered approach are important.
Encore Presentation - ACRL/NEC ITIG Annual MeetingLaura Kohl

Web-scale Discovery Implementation with the End User in Mind (SLA 2012)Rafal Kasprowski
The document summarizes a presentation given at the 2012 SLA Annual Conference in Chicago. It introduces three speakers: Harry Kaplanian from EBSCO Publishing, Debra Kolah from Rice University, and Rafal Kasprowski also from Rice University. It then provides brief biographies and background information for each speaker.
The presentation traces the history of resource discovery tools from early cataloging practices to current web-scale discovery systems. It discusses the pros and cons of different approaches such as federated search, local discovery layers, and web-scale discovery. The document concludes with details about Rice University's selection process for a new discovery system, which included user testing, demonstrations, and an ethnographic study.
This document discusses disruptive changes in libraries due to new technologies and user behaviors. It notes the shift to electronic resources like e-journals, e-books, and born-digital content, which require new library processes. Open science and open educational resources are also discussed. Surveys found that younger users value quick search results over assistance from librarians. The future of libraries is uncertain as their roles evolve in research and learning. Options for shared library services are presented to help libraries adapt to these changes in a sustainable way.
This document discusses web-scale discovery services (WDS), including what they are, their key features and benefits, examples of major WDS providers, and considerations for implementation. Specifically:
- WDS allows users to search a library's entire collection through a single search box, ranking results based on relevancy across sources. This is presented as an improvement over federated search.
- Major WDS providers discussed include EBSCO Discovery Service, Ex Libris Primo, Serials Solutions Summon, and OCLC's WorldCat Local.
- A comparison of these providers shows they index a variety of content like the library catalog, e-books, journals, and more.

Mosiac Search Engine
1. The Mosaic Search Engine Mark van Harmelen Hedtek Ltd markvanharmelen@gmail.comhedtek.com
2. Aim Provide a proof of concept that Users can have personalised search results according to their place and stage of studies Users can adopt other personas or points-of-view to explore academic resources We can exploit ‘mass’ attention data as revealed by library circulation information So far only working with ISBN identified books
3. HEI circulation data build Solr index anonymise partial Copac records annotated with use and reading list data reading lists Solr HEI anonymise front-end HEI anonymise
4. Anonymisation Level 1: Current prototype, enables faceting Level 2: With extra information, enables“people who borrowed this also borrowed”and“people who borrowed this went on to borrow” Anonymisationutility provided DPA compliant, can also use fair processing agreements
5. Augmenting Solr’s index Solr’s search index is loaded with items and any associated use information Use information is: institution course progression level year of use count of number of uses in that year Use information enables faceting Also add reading list info to items
7. Narrowing and broadening Thoughts (NB, ‘thoughts’) of narrowing of choice led to two features to broaden choice Don’t believe that the Mosaic demo in itself narrows when used for browsing Broadening features More like this link Reading lists
8. The Harry Potter ‘problem’ and scale The Harry Potter ‘problem’: Balderdash! We can control this using Library of Congress subject categories and Dewey Decimal shelfmarks Paul Miller raises questions of scale Dave Pattern has shown success use of use data at a single (small) institution We want to leverage reasonably large scale: 3.5-4M students in HE, over say the last five years
9. User context and attention Has been relatively simple to parameterise an open source search engine with user context Institution, course, progression level, academic year This is only part of the user context, can add Location Attention data, e.g., search history Further social search information
10. Disclaimer The next slide is independent of any decisions on a pure data approach Could be a pure data approach in there Or maybe not
11.
12. Mosiac searchpersonalised/point-of-view search Massively parallel search for blindingly fast response times Data mining for library ‘stewardship’ We have prototypes for the first two, and we’re about to start experimenting with parallel search using Hadoop+Lucene
13. Building institutional contributions Propose union-cat-local: Search in local library Mosaic-like search utilises local loan data if it is available Two ways to encourage library contribution of loan data (thoughts in progress) Narrow: Libraries which contribute loan data to the pool get Mosaic search over the pool Broad: Offer the contextual/PoV search available everywhere; users will agitate if they don’t see local data
14. This is a Just Do It moment A national union catalogue with contextual search and local library interfaces Relatively cheap to do Potentially massive gains for learners, teachers and researchers Portends the development of shared services across the library domain and large cost savings Doesn’t preclude / agnostic on an open data approach Could incorporate a pure data service approach and/or a centralised service
