days of computers – before the Web, XML, and a variety of other technological

How do we inspire children to learn with e-readers?

Purpose – Mobile handheld e-readers, such as the iPad and Kindle, have gained
increased attention in schools and are becoming useful as a tool to attract

As the heart of a computer system's software, the database management system is

- 2000
The flexibility and extensibility of XML have largely contributed to its wide
acceptance beyond the traditional realm of SGML. Yet, there is still one more
obstacle to be overcome before XML is able to become the evangelized universal
data/document format. The obstacle is posed by the limitations of the legacy
standard for constraining the contents of an XML document. The traditionally
used DTD (d...

The limits and limitations of transaction log analysis
Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 98-104 - 1993
Introduction Since the earliest transaction monitoring studies, researchers have
encountered the boundaries that define transaction log analysis as a methodology
for studying the use of online information retrieval systems. Because, among
other reasons, transaction log databases contain relatively few fields and lack
sufficient retrieval tools, students of transaction log data have begun to ask
as...
Automation and Ethics: A View from the Trenches
Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 53-57 - 1986
It is important that librarians know that unethical practices occasionally have
occurred, and will occur in the future, in the field of library automation. Some
vendors have “low‐balled” a bid—undersized a system—in order to make a sale.
Some have bid undeliverable products. Libraries have occasionally “wired” a
request for proposal—stated required specifications so that only one vendor can
