Abstract

Argues that a cataloguer's personal home page, with a list of links to most used sites, simplifies the task of retrieving WWW base documentation for name and subject heading authority records. Highlights selected WWW sites for geographic names, historic buildings and topics in art, suggests reasons for creating one's own site, and offers an example of a personal home page

Abstract

Reports agreements between Ovid Technologies and 5 publishing companies (Blackwell Science, Lippincott-Raven, Munksgaard, Plenum, Willams and Wilkins) to secure the rights to the full text over 400 leading periodicals. Once the periodicals are loaded on Ovid they will be linked with other fulltext electronic periodicals to bibliographic databases to produce a web of related documents and threaded information. Concludes with notes on the Ovid Java Client graphic user interface, which offers increased speeds of searching the WWW

Abstract

The WWW has become the most visible application of the Internet. In this article the authors provide background on hypermedia in general and review the emerging and still fragmentary literature related to WWW home page design. hrough the construction of a rating system, the authors measure the relative quality of a particular genre of home pages (those of higher education libraries) in terms of design and organization. The decision to study higher education library home pages was based on a variety of reasons, not the least of which is libarians's claimed expertise in the organization of information. If this is to be one of their strengths as they vie for leadership among the information professionals of the 21st century, one might expect that such a widely visible product of librarians' work would epitomize skillful packaging and presentation of information

Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to describe the way participants in the hobby of gourmet cooking in the USA manage culinary information in their homes. Design/methodology/approach - The study utilizes domain analysis and serious leisure as a conceptual framework and employs an ethnographic approach. In total 20 gourmet cooks in the USA were interviewed at home and then their culinary information collections were documented through a guided tour and photographic inventory. The resulting ethnographic record was analyzed using grounded theory and NVivo software. Findings - The findings introduce the personal culinary library (PCL): a constellation of cooking-related information resources and information structures in the home of the gourmet cook, and an associated set of upkeep activities that increase with the collection's size. PCLs are shown to vary in content, scale, distribution in space, and their role in the hobby. The personal libraries are characterized as small, medium or large and case studies of each extreme are presented. Larger PCLs are cast as a bibliographic pyramid distributed throughout the home in the form of a mother lode, zone, recipe collection, and binder. Practical implications - Insights are provided into three areas: scientific ethnography as a methodology; a theory of documents in the hobby; and the changing role of information professionals given the increasing prevalence of home-based information collections. Originality/value - This project provides an original conceptual framework and research method for the study of information in personal spaces such as the home, and describes information phenomena in a popular, serious leisure, hobby setting.

Abstract

Multimedia information systems, supplied on CD-ROM, are fast becoming a popular consumer product. A huge and growing range of titles is available from high street computer, electronic goods and book shops. Provides a compact set of evaluation criteria for these products, using established methods in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-assisted learning (CAL), and information retrieval. The needs and desires of the home user are substantially different from those of the workplace or education user. Observation from product use, and an interview study with home multimedia users, suggests that factors such as aesthetics, levels of interactivity and information content may be crucially important in user satisfaction. Factors such as interface clarity and consistency may be less important than in workplace systems

Abstract

Genre conventions emerge across discourse communities over time to support the communication of ideas and information in socially and cognitively compatible forms. Digital genres frequently borrow heavily from the paper world even though the media optimally support different forms, structures, and interactions. This research thought to determine the existence and form of a truly digital genre. Results from a survey of user perceptions of the form and content of web home pages reveal a significant correlation between commonly found elements of home pages and user preferences and expections of type. These data support the argument that the personal home page has rapidly evolved into a recognizable form with stable, user-preferred elements and thus may be considered the first truly digital genre

Abstract

Feature on OCLC's SiteSearch suite of software, first introduced in 1992, and how it is helping over 250 libraries integrate and manage their electronic library collections. Describes the new features of version 4.0, released in Apr 1997, which include a new interface, Java based architecture, and an online documentation and training site. Gives an account of how Java is helping the Georgia Library Learning Online (GALILEO) project to keep pace on the WWW; the use of SiteSearch by libraries to customize their interface to electronic resources; and gives details of Project Athena (Assessing Technological Horizons to Educate the Nashville Area), which is using OCLC SiteSearch to allow area library users to search the holdings of public and university libraries simultaneously

Abstract

The Wolverhampton Web Library (WWLib) is a WWW search engine that provides access to UK based information. The experimental version developed in 1995, was a success but highlighted the need for a much higher degree of automation. An interesting feature of the experimental WWLib was that it organised information according to DDC. Discusses the advantages of classification and describes the automatic classifier that is being developed in Java as part of the new, fully automated WWLib

Abstract

Discusses the basic principles of teleworking or telecommuting, where access via telecommunications replaces the usual travel to the workplace and where the new workplace becomes the home, under the 5 basic categories; electronic home work; shared facility centres; satellite work centres; private enterprise centres; and flexible work arrangements (flexiwork). Pays attention to the information needs of these teleworkers

Abstract

Discusses the features of multimedia products and those features which allow interaction, and considers the key differences between home and work use of information CD-ROMs. Sets out the criteria for the evaluation of products that are likely to contribute to the overall evaluation. These include: the information itself; methods of access; output of information; the quality and appropriateness of the media objects presented; interactive features; aesthetics and creativity; and performance, reliability and robustness
