The current library bibliographic infrastructure was constructed in the early
days of computers – before the Web, XML, and a variety of other technological
advances that now offer new opportunities. General requirements of a modern
metadata infrastructure for libraries are identified, including such qualities
as versatility, extensibility, granularity, and openness. A new kind of metadata

SFX is an XML‐based product designed to inter‐link electronic resources with
other resources in context‐sensitive manner. SFX was first developed at the
University of Ghent by Herbert Van de Sompel and has been released as a
commercial product by Ex Libris. Use statistics garnered from SFX’s statistics
module since the implementation in July of 2001 are discussed in the context of
an academic rese... hiện toàn bộ
PurposeTo document a library web site redesign from start to finish, with
special attention and emphasis placed on process – what worked and what did
not.Design/methodology/approachDocumentation and techniques used in the redesign
are discussed in depth, with special attention as to why these techniques were
chosen, how they were integrated into the process, and what problems were
encountered.Find... hiện toàn bộ
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
students to learn and read. Although the benefits of mobile learning are clear,
few studies have delved into the specific factors impacting the adoption and use
of e-readers among elementary students. Moreover, the question of whether
learning wi... hiện toàn bộ
As the heart of a computer system's software, the database management system is
the key to the maintenance of data and effective management reporting. Since it
is involved in virtually every transaction, it is also critical to robust system
performance. CLSI, Inc. recently evaluated five relational database management
systems, selecting Ingres, Version 6.0, around which to develop its next
generat... hiện toàn bộ

Raison d'Etre is a hypermedia design history application. It provides access to
a database of video clips containing stories and personal perspectives of design
team members recorded at various times during the course of a project. The
system is intended to provide a simple frame‐work for recording and organizing
the informal history and rationale that design teams create and share in the
course o... hiện toàn bộ
CorelDRAW, version 2.0, is, basically, a drawing program that includes
sophisticated handling of a variety of fonts; it is much more powerful and
flexible than the Paintbrush drawing program that is bundled with Windows 3.0.
It is, however, neither a wordprocessing program nor a desktop publishing
program. Nevertheless one of the prime uses of CorelDRAW could be to prepare
illustrations and creati... hiện toàn bộ

PurposeThis study aims to propose a blackboard approach using multistrategy
machine learning student modeling techniques to learn the properties of
students' inconsistent behaviors during their learning
process.Design/methodology/approachThese multistrategy machine learning student
modeling techniques include inductive reasoning (similarity‐based learning),
deductive reasoning (explanation‐based l... hiện toàn bộ
