Beyond Google: Bibliographic Transformation to Connect Users to Good Content

ABSTRACT

At the 2017 North Carolina Serials Conference, keynote speaker Regina Romano Reynolds—Director, U.S. ISSN Center and Head, ISSN Section at the Library of Congress—explored how bibliographic transformation can connect users to good-quality content. Offering examples of current and potential serials management projects, Reynolds shared her vision for breaking down information silos, experimenting in the resource management space, and the need for visionary leadership.     

The ISSN as Identifier and as Linking Mechanism: An Interview with Fran§oise Pell©

Abstract

In this installment of Serial conversations, MIT cataloger Benjamin Abrahamse talks with Fran§oise Pell©, head of the International ISSN Centre, about the role played by International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSN) in facilitating the identification and collocation of serial publications in a networked environment.     

Serials Clutter in Online Catalogs

Abstract

Finding and deciphering serials records in online catalogs is a challenge to many library users. To understand and analyze these challenges, the author conducted searches for scientific journal titles in the online catalogs of Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) libraries. The first part of the study measures the difficulty of retrieving serial records from online catalogs comparing one-word versus multiple-word titles. The second part analyzes displays for complexity by measuring the length of the complete record and the length of the holdings statements. These data show the complexity of displays and indicate the potential confusion that these displays may induce in library users.     

基于XML的E-Learning系统的研究和应用

E-Learning是一种由网络电子技术支撑或主导实施教学内容的现代教育模式。为了有效解决传统C/S和B/S模式存在的问题,给出了采用三层结构实现的E-Learning系统。对于教学资源中出现的大量非结构化数据,提出了在E-Learning系统中应用XML技术的解决方法。     

DC元数据在中国数字图书馆建设中的应用之我见

最新版本的DCMI元数据术语规定了元数据元素、元素限定词和编码体系修饰词定义的必备属性和有则必备属性。本文区分了DC元数据标准中关于修饰词的几个概念,介绍了DCMI元数据术语定义规范和DC元数据在数字图书馆建设中的优势,探讨了本地应用纲要制定中应注意的问题。     

Still Partners After All These Years: Ulrich's and ISSN

Since 2000, an Ulrich's Periodicals Directory (Ulrich's) employee has been located in the Library of Congress's U.S. ISSN Center at the Library of Congress to assign ISSN and create records for both Ulrich's and the international ISSN Register/CONSER database. How this arrangement came about, how it has succeeded over the past ten years, and the broad potential for this partnership becoming a model in both organizations for future automated data sharing and data linking is the subject of this article.     

基于用户偏好的垂直搜索算法

提出并研究、实现了基于用户偏好的垂直搜索算法(PVSA)。以领域特征为基本出发点,PVSA借助领域主题偏好向量、领域元数据权重因子、检索名词差异化、行业词典库更新等4项策略,有效地挖掘、表征用户的领域个性化偏好,以此为基础构建基于用户偏好的垂直搜索算法。实验结果表明了PVSA算法的有效性和可行性。     

基于中心化的微博热点发现方法

以解决微博平台海量信息碎片为切入点,结合微博信息文本短小、来源广泛、传播方式多样等特点,设计基于中心化的微博热点的发现机制。通过微博平台开放API记录的结构化元数据信息,设计微博的元数据模型,将微博热点发现看作是原始语料到热点语料簇的生产加工增值过程,设计以数据预处理技术为核心的语料初加工方法,以及基于短文本聚类、基于传播路径与用户行为的中心化深加工方法,构建完整的生产加工过程模型,并通过实例验证理论研究成果。
