"(...) Les pages qui suivent, issues d'un travail d'étude mené au SCD de l'IUFM de Lyon 1, veulent tenter d'apporter quelques premiers éclairages aux collègues confrontés à ces questions. Dans ce dessein, ces lignes reviendront d'abord rapidement sur ce qu'est un ENT avant de préciser quelles raisons plaident pour que les bibliothèques s'intègrent dans un ENT. L'importante question organisationnelle sera ensuite évoquée, avant qu'une proposition de phasage n'ouvre des horizons plus concrets."

«Comparativement au premier catalogue Ariane, il est certain qu'Ariane 2.0 offre de plus grandes possibilités, explique Guy Teasdale, directeur de la bibliothèque numérique et des technologies de l'information à la Bibliothèque. En implantant Ariane 2.0, nous cherchions à recréer l'interface extrêmement dépouillée de Google, tout en exploitant la richesse et l'intelligence des métadonnées enfouies dans les quelque 1, 7 millions de notices bibliographiques de notre catalogue. Les avantages de cette nouvelle interface sont tangibles, la plus évidente étant la recherche par facettes. Il y a aussi la possibilité de mieux exploiter la puissance du répertoire des vedettes matières de l'Université Laval (RVM). Toute l'opération s'inscrit dans notre volonté des nous adapter à la réalité des étudiants habitués aux moteurs de recherche de plus en plus puissants et conviviaux.»

"Traditional on-line search services such as Dialog, DataStar and Lexis provide a wide range of search features (boolean and proximity operators, truncation, etc). This paper discusses the use of these features for effective searching, and argues that these features are required, regardless of advances in search engine technology. The literature on on-line searching is reviewed, identifying features that searchers find desirable for effective searching. A selective survey of current digital libraries available on the Web was undertaken, identifying which search features are present. The survey indicates that current digital libraries do not implement a wide range of search features. For instance: under half of the examples included controlled vocabulary, under half had proximity searching, only one enabled browsing of term indexes, and none of the digital libraries enable searchers to refine an initial search. Suggestions are made for enhancing the search effectiveness of digital libraries; for instance, by providing a full range of search operators, enabling browsing of search terms, enhancement of records with controlled vocabulary, enabling the refining of initial searches, etc."

"In this paper we propose a multi-agent Selective Dissemination of Information service to improve the research community's access to digital library resources. The service also provides a new recommendation approach to satisfy researchers' specific information requirements." "Semantic Web technologies and fuzzy linguistic modelling provide the means to develop value-added services for digital libraries, which improve users' access to resources of interest to them. Furthermore, the recommendation approach here proposed allows researchers to satisfy specific information needs not covered by traditional recommender systems."

"The software powering Open Library is centered around a flexible templating system that enables anyone to have control over the organization of their information display. It is designed to be simple to use, to encourage participation, yet powerfully modular through the application of macros and principles of networked interface. In this document, we will review existing technologies, explain concepts, present a framework for discussion and outline a plan to meet those goals for a full site launch in October 2009."
