Exploring connections between information retrieval systems and information literacy standards

Information literacy involves the location and access of information through retrieval systems, and many information retrieval systems are designed with specific capabilities to support these very skills. In some cases, system enhancements go beyond simple support and alleviate some of the searcher's responsibilities by performing certain tasks for them. By comparing information retrieval functions to the Association of College and Research Libraries' information literacy standards, this article investigates the extent of support that these enhanced systems can offer, and gives librarians greater insight into how these design enhancements could have an impact on information literacy instruction.

知识组织系统中关系模式的应用比较

文章以医学数字信息资源知识组织为案例，对领域本体、目前常用的医学数字信息资源知识组织的工具《医学主题词表》和统一医学语言系统的语义网络进行对比研究，深入分析了三者的联系和区别，在此基础上讨论了知识组织体系中的关系模式在知识组织中的应用特点。信息资源知识组织有赖于领域本体的完善，而领域本体高质高效的构建和应用需充分发扬和整合主题词表和语义网络的成果，即利用叙词表已经规范了的专业概念和语义网络定义的语义类型。

Applying a Software Development Product Cycle to Library Technology Adoption and Development

Product cycles have long been used in software development, but libraries can also benefit from a structured product life cycle to help manage technology development and acquisition. This article outlines a proposed product cycle for library technology management with information on implementing each step of the cycle. It will also include information for librarians assessing the success of structured technology management.     

Assessing the Benefits of Content Notes Enhancements for Digital Audio Resources

Our library has previously investigated the potential impact the addition of contents notes on circulation. In a subsequent study, we found contents notes were the second metadata element most heavily linked to circulation (title was first). Since there has been a marked decline in the use of print resources at our library and a corresponding increase in digital resources, we wanted to know if the addition of contents notes to records for online streaming audio files would result in a similar increase in usage. After enhancing the records, we tracked usage for a period of three months.
