Review: Discovery systems - an opportunity and a threat? (Web-Scale Discovery Services)

I got already some time ago a copy of a great, concise volume on web-scale discovery services mailed to me (please, note the disclosure). The book is written by Roberto Raieli, librarian and library director working at the Sapienza UniversitĂ  di Roma (known of his previous infomative volume on multimedia information retrieval), translated from Italian by Elena Corradini and published in the Chandos Information Professional Series.

Libraries, archives and museums: changes, challenges and collaboration

LAMC3 brings into focus the current changes and challenges experienced by publicly funded libraries, archives and museums, the so-called LAM institutions.

Har du kommenterat eller recenserat böcker, bilder eller annat material pÄ bibliotekens, museernas eller arkivens webbtjÀnster?

Har du undrat varför folk skriver kommentarer och recensioner pÄ webben? Eller har du gjort det sjÀlv?

Vi forskar om kommentarer och deras betydelse för aktiva anvĂ€ndare av bibliotekens, museernas och arkivens webbtjĂ€nster. Som “kommentarer” rĂ€knas kommentarer, recensioner och annat deltagande som syftar till att skapa eller dela information eller Ă„sikter om webbtjĂ€nstens innehĂ„ll och som publiceras pĂ„ den pĂ„ den sjĂ€lva tjĂ€nsten. Alla möjliga lokala, regionala och nationella tjĂ€nster Ă€r aktuella t. ex.

Jos olet, oletko pohtinut miksi muut kirjoittavat kommentteja, arvosteluja tai muuta sisĂ€ltöÀ, ja mitĂ€ merkitystĂ€ sillĂ€ on?
