Abstract

Purpose This investigation aims to examine the differences and similarities between activity tracking technology users from two regions (the USA and Germany) in their intended privacy-related behavior. The focus lies on data handling after hypothetical discontinuance of use, data protection and privacy policy seeking, and privacy concerns. Design/methodology/approach The data was collected through an online survey in 2019. In order to identify significant differences between participants from Germany and the USA, the chi-squared test and the Mann-Whitney U test were applied. Findings The intensity of several privacy-related concerns was significantly different between the two groups. The majority of the participants did not inform themselves about the respective data privacy policies or terms and conditions before installing an activity tracking application. The majority of the German participants knew that they could request the deletion of all their collected data. In contrast, only 35% out of 68 participants from the US knew about this option. Research limitations/implications This study intends to raise awareness about managing the collected health and fitness data after stopping to use activity tracking technologies. Furthermore, to reduce privacy and security concerns, the involvement of the government, companies and users is necessary to handle and share data more considerably and in a sustainable way. Originality/value This study sheds light on users of activity tracking technologies from a broad perspective (here, participants from the USA and Germany). It incorporates not only concerns and the privacy paradox but (intended) user behavior, including seeking information on data protection and privacy policy and handling data after hypothetical discontinuance of use of the technology.

Abstract

'Bound withs' make up a small percentage of most libraries' collections, yet cataloging them fully takes an inordinate amount of time. In the pretechnology era, each title in a 'bound with' volume had a full bibliographic record linked by with notes to the other titles in the bound with volume. With the advent of online catalogs and circulation systems arose problems of automated bibliographic and circulation control. Solutions to these problems as described by several libraries attending an Innovative Interfaces Users Group meeting are explored. A resolution, based on the brainstorming done at that meeting and on the Washington State University Library's online catalog's handling of 'bound withs', is proposed. The solution devised by Innovative Interfaces in an upcoming release of the Innopac software is explained

Abstract

It is intuitively clear that putting the cart before the horse is not the same as putting the horse before the cart. It is equally clear that a history of philosophy is different from a philosophy of history. Yet there is no logical relationship, like the AND/OR/NOT functions, which would enable manipulation of these permuted, non-commutative, relationships. In this paper we present a system for automatic handling of ordered sets, states based on these sets, and of differing points of view regarding a Universe of Discourse. We call what we are dealing with 'aspects' and we represent them by means of a new logical function called the 'overlap' function

Abstract

Descriptive natural language captions can help organize multimedia data. Describes the MARIE system which interprets English queries directing the retrieval of media objects. It exploits previously interpreted and indexed English captions for the media objects. Routing filtering of queries through descriptively complex captions before retrieving data can improve retrieval speed, as media data are often bulky and tinme-consuming to retrieve and difficult upon which to perform content analysis and even small improvements to query precision can pay off. Handling the English of captions and queries about does not require deep understanding, just a comprehensive type hierarchy for captions concepts. An important innovation of MARIE is supercaptions describing sets of captions which can ninimize caption redundancy

Abstract

Discusses CD-ROM interfaces. The majority of CD-ROM databases are offered in one version with only one user interface. This is very different from online where many of the databases are available through the software of several online services. The trend of making available one datafile with different user interfaces is likely to accelerate in 1993 when many of the exclusive agreements between database publishers and CD-ROM producers expire. Covers standards including that of the information handling committee of the US intelligence community, CDx, SilverPlatter, DXS, the Special Interest group of CD-ROM Applications and Technology, CD-ROM Consistent Interface Committee and DIALOG, Jaunty Access to CD-ROM through Simulation On-the-Fly

Abstract

Article published in a special issue devoted to the theme: Computers and the humanities. The Beazley Archive Database, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, is pictorial in nature and consists of over 250.000 photographs and many thousands of drawings of Greek vases, in profile, in detail, and from many angles. Describes the networked relational database structure used by the database and efforts to make this online database in classical archeology available over networks. The lack of means of handling images by electronic means is overcome by a special descriptive scheme but it is expected that access to images will be achieved in the future

Abstract

Evaluates 2 design ideas concerning information retrieval systems (IRS) for professionals with the aim of supporting a professional's document handling and to facilitate the evolution of the IRS, allowing it to be modified in a straightforward and flexible way as new requirements arise. Illustrates the viability of those design ideas through a case study concerning the development of a prototype legal IRS based on a leading body of Danish lwas. Important facilities in the prototype include a dynamic thesaurus, a dynamic classification structure and personal notes. The prototype is built using a relational database, not inverted files as in the majority of IRS

Abstract

Describes a 4-year project to convert the British Library catalogue to machine-readable form. After a brief description of the catalogue and some of its oddities and idiosyncrasies, discusses how the conversion was managed, from the inception of the project through to near-completion in 1991. Identifies 3 stages: deciding to convert, the fundamental principles of the conversion, and drawing up the specification and signing the contract; setting up and implementing the project; and managing the ongoing conversion process and planning for the post-capture record processing and handling. Concludes with a checklist of do's and don'ts for those contemplating retrospective conversion of a catalogue which cannot be handled by conventional means

Abstract

Electronic publishing seems to be the future for efficient and fast information dissemination. Describes a variety of new projects, products and services. In addition, concentrates on the development of information systems: relational, object-oriented and hybrid databases, that will have a major impact on the way we handle internal and external information in our organisations. Springer-Verlag carried out an extensive international survey on the future use of information, external such as information from publishers, as well as internal information such as technical documents. New systems like Right-Pages and integrated information and document management systems like DocMan will be the next generation for information handling, dissemination and retrieval

Abstract

A lack of structure, not the amount, is the reason for our growing inability to cope with information today. Through the advances in information technology, information has lost the connection with its carrier; therefore, the medium can no longer be used as a reliable indicator of information type. The classical methods of information handling are not sufficient for the growing amount and the new forms of information. In an information society, the individual needs a more comprehensive system of information management. The suggestion is to use 4 universal structuring dimensions - selection, time, hierarchy and sequence - and to apply them to information, regardless of the information carrier. Information producers, as well as information consumers, can use this tool-set to profit more fully from the growing mass of information

Abstract

User query data played an important role in the development of an automated still picture retrieval system at the National Library of Medicine. Describes backgroun information about the NLM collection and its users, describes typical user queries, and portrays representative queries. It identifies a particular picture query type, called the 'image construct query', based on an analysis of user query data. Describes difficulties in handling image construct queries by existing conventional access systems, and it proposes improves cataloging strategy combined with picture surrogates as the most effective way to generate better image retrieval

Abstract

Reports results of a comparative study to correlate the handling of concepts and subject analysis in POOPSI and Colon Classification, 7th ed. with particular reference to fundamental categories and phase relations: Studies reveal that in both cases, the concept of Basic Class and Discipline must be indicated whether the Basic Class or Discipline is explicit or implicit in the title under consideration. Also reveals that Entity in POPSI many equate with Personality, Matter Material and Matter Property in CC7. Action of POPSI may correlate with Energy, Matter Property of CC7 and Property of POPSI may correlate with Matter Property of CC7

Abstract

Discusses possible reasons for the neglect of formal information strategies or policies at an organizational level, despite the importance attached to information technology hardware and data. This may arise from a failure to understand how a corporate strategy needs to integrate both its human and technological resources in a considered manner; neither information nor technology should be seen as ends in their own right. Sets out the conditions in which formal information strategies could flourish and become the norm within organizations; these include the promotion of a climate in which it is natural to be inquisitive; awareness of the importance of information and the need to share it; and adequate management support for the regular updating of the knowledge and skills involved in information handling

Abstract

Explores in some detail the new roles for librarians that may emerge in an electronic environment where ownership of intellectual property rights is restrained by the institutions in which scholars work. Observes that librarians will have to acquire additional skills on top of the old ones and these tasks and skills will need to be augmented by skills for the special handling of electronic materials

Although existing document imaging software effectively serves small business needs whenit comes to publishing documents from multiple sources in various formats on CD-ROM and the WWW, the same cannot be said when it comes to large scale corporate publishing. Sets out the requirements of corporate in house document publishing, which typically include: avoiding hand crafting documents for different media, having the flexibility not to be hostage to changing word processors, vendor alliances, operating systems, or output media; reducing exception handling as volumes of published documents increase; and incorporating support for upcoming changes in HTML, if WWW publishing is planned. Focuses on the importance of SGML and DTD in this process

Abstract

Selecting electronic resources requires both a policy statement to guide collection development and management and procedures to manage the process of selecting and handling these resources. Both policy and procedures must be crafted in response to local priorities, resources, limitations, and organizational structure. This paper examines issues that should be addressed when developing local procedures. Particular emphasis is given to preparing a mechanism to guide selection. One possible model - a decision-making matrix to guide selection between various media and modes of information delivery - is explored.

Abstract

Currently, few resources exist to guide libraries in the cataloguing of community information using the new USMARC Format for Cammunity Information (1993). In developing a community information database, Queens Borough Public Library, New York City, formulated their own cataloguing procedures for applying AACR2, LoC File Interpretations, and USMARC Format for Community Information to community information. Their practices include entering corporate names directly whenever possible and assigning LC subject headings for classes of persons and topics, adding neighbourhood level geographic subdivisions. The guidelines were specially designed to aid non cataloguers in cataloguing community information and have enabled library to maintain consistency in handling corporate names and in assigning subject headings, while creating database that is highly accessible to library staff and users

Abstract

Reviews developments and improvements in techniques for searching the WWW that have been made access to full text databases a practical proposition (full text retrieval (FTR)). Reports results of interviews with 8 full text database vendors offering FTR via the WWW: Dataware (http://www.dataware.com); Excalibur (http://www.excalib.com); Fulcrum (http://www.fulcrum.com); Muscat (http://www.muscat.co.uk); Open Text (http://www.opentext.com); Personal Library Software (PLS) (http://www.pls.com); Verity (http://www.verity.com); and ZyLab (ZyIndex and ZyImage) (http://www.zylab.com). Compares the prices of the systems and lists the questions that publishers should ask before making a choice of systems for handling FTR on the Web

Abstract

Explores the question of whether academic libraries keep up with the changes in the LCSH system. Analysis of the handling of 15 subject headings in 50 academic library catalogues available via the Internet found that libraries are not consistently maintaining subject authority control, or making syndetic references and scope notes in their catalogues. Discusses the results from the perspective of the libraries' performance, performance on the headings overall, performance on references, performance on the type of change made to the headings,a nd performance within 3 widely used onlien catalogue systems (DRA, INNOPAC and NOTIS). Discusses the implications of the findings in relationship to expressions of dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of subject cataloguing expressed by discussion groups on the Internet
