"RDA sera peut-être le format de catalogage de demain. Basé sur les FRBR et les FRAR, RDA se donne les objectifs suivants : * Fournir un "framework" fiable et souple pour décrire à la fois le contenu et les aspects techniques de tous types de ressources et de documents * Etre compatible avec des principes, modèles et standards internationaux * Etre utilisable hors de la communauté des bibliothèques, et que des communautés variées puissent l'adapter à leurs besoins spécifiques. "

"The purpose of this paper is to present the implementation of LibraryThing for Libraries LTFL in an academic library and analysis of usage of LTFL data and their potential for resource discovery in the catalog. Design/methodology/approach - The paper reviews the literature on social tagging and incorporation of third-party user-generated metadata into the library catalog. It provides an assessment based on the analysis of total absolute usage figures and frequency of use of LTFL data. Findings - Based on the data available, usage of LTFL data in the catalog is low, but several possible contributing factors are identified."

"The change that libraries will need to make in response must include the transformation of the library's public catalog from a stand-alone database of bibliographic records to a highly hyperlinked data set that can interact with information resources on the World Wide Web. The library data can then be integrated into the virtual working spaces of the users served by the library. If all of this sounds otherworldly and vague, it is because there is no specific vision of where these changes will lead us. The crystal ball is unfortunately shortsighted, in no small part because this is a time of rapid change in many aspects of the information ecology. The few things that are certain, however, point to the Web, and its eventual successors, as the place to be. For libraries, this means yet another evolutionary step in the library of our catalog: from metadata to metaDATA."

""In this current phase of library automation, all eyes are focused on developing and deploying Web-based interfaces better suited to meet the expectations of the current generation of Web-savvy users," notes Marshall Breeding in the "Introduction" to "Next-Generation Library Catalogs," the fourth issue of Library Technology Reports in 2007. "Over the course of the last year, a number of libraries have made bold moves to introduce new catalogs cast in a mold apart from their previous offerings. Library automation vendors have launched development efforts to create new catalogs and interfaces more in tune with today's expectations," Breeding adds. In this issue of LTR, Breeding covers the terminology associated with the "next-generation" catalog situation as well as such areas as: * federated searching and * other features expected in the "next-generation" interfaces (such as faceted navigation, relevancy, the "did you mean?" feature, and RSS)."

"Library data has been designed to be read and interpreted by librarians and users. Although there are some controlled data fields, most of what is in the library catalog entry is text. The machine as user has not gotten a great deal of attention in the library cataloging environment. Now there's yet another potential user of library data, and that user is the Web and services that function on the Web. (...) This issue of Library Technology Reports provides an explanation, using concrete models and real-world examples, of how to facilitate this transformation."

"Méta-catalogue qui permet de lancer une recherche simultanée dans les principaux catalogues de bibliothèques suisses."

"Cool search box turn your web application impressive and good search box can make it more organised and well structured. Today, I have collected 14 search boxes for your inspiration which may be implemented in your upcoming web application."

"L'inspiration Machine utilise des interfaces de programmation Web, telles que celles utilisées sous Flickr, YouTube, eBay afin d'organiser les résultats de la recherche en fonction de leur créativité dans le navigateur de l'utilisateur en utilisant des technologies Rich Internet."

"Le concept des Swickis, plus ancien que les outils vus précédemment, est identique à celui de ses principaux concurrents avec une interface permettant de créer de façon très complète son propre moteur de recherche vertical (voir encadré page 14). A noter que, en mode simple en mode avancé chez Eurekster, les possibilités de configuration sont excellentes : liste d'url à inclure ou à exclure, thématiques générales, mots clés, filtre sur les contenus adultes, recherches multimédia, ajout de nuages de requêtes, etc. La technologie de recherche utilisée est celle de Yahoo! (Yahoo! Search Technology)."

A sandbox for collecting search examples, patterns, and anti-patterns. Using our group pool (http://www.flickr.com/groups/searchpatterns/), you can also talk about search and discovery; and even add new examples and patterns.

"Jumper 2.0 is a revolution in enterprise search. One that delivers personalized, specialized, and trusted search directly to the knowledge workers who need it most. Jumper is light-weight, web-based, license-free, and quickly deployed to smaller groups of users. Easily customized and adaptable it meets the unique needs of departments and divisions, research groups and project teams. Making it a point solution search approach that is highly flexible and very dynamic. Jumper 2.0 is commercial open source software for universal search and knowledge management powered by an enterprise bookmarking engine. Jumper uses peer and social-networking principles to tag and link distributed content, media, or data regardless of format or location - including databases, flat files, fileshares, content systems, blogs and wikis, even people - through one simple search box."

"What we are about to get is a Social Relevancy Rank. Whenever you search streams of activity, the results will be ordered not chronologically but by how relevant each is to you based on your social graph. That is, people who matter more to you will bubble up. How does this work? Well, there will be a formula, just as there is a formula for Page Rank."

"Web Search engines most often operate on the idea that their tools are supposed to represent the fastest way between a user's search query and a site that will represent a fitting information content to satisfy a "information need". The main challenge is therefore about building ranking algorithms that will find the "best" site and put it into first place. While this approach has been highly successful it also neglects the user's ability to interact, select, navigate, analyze - in short, to be an active agent and a stakeholder in the search process. Our proposal is the technical manifestation of a simple concept: instead of reducing the search phase to a minimum we believe that there is much to be gained by presenting a semantically rich interface to users; this interface can be used to either navigate in a list of results (1000 in the case of our current prototype) or to refine the search query. The "termcloud" and "cluster" views give a quick overview of a topic by showing which terms are significant, their relative frequency and the relations that exist between them. This way the user gets an idea of the topic before even visiting a Web site from the result list. We hope that this approach will help users in digging deeper than the first couple of results and explore the regions of the Web that might not be so easy to find with a regular, hit-driven search engine."

"SRU (Search/Retrieve via URL) et SRW (Search/Retrieve Web service) sont deux protocoles qui, succédant à Z3950, en constituent une évolution, et ce vers les technologies web, via les webservices. Maintenus par la Bibliothèque du Congrès, et destinés à faciliter la recherche sur Internet, ils se fondent sur le langage CQL (Common Query Language, standard de syntaxe de requête), qui présente l'avantage d'une (relative) lisibilité. SRU/SRW spécifient tout à la fois la syntaxe des requêtes, et celle des réponses données à ces requêtes. SRU/SRW permettent d'interroger simplement, via le protocole http du web, des bases de données jusqu'alors cachées ou plus difficilement accessibles. La version 1.1 de SRU a été publiée en février 2004, et devrait être suivie d'une version 1.2 actuellement en cours de développement. "

"Metasearch, parallel search, federated search, broadcast search, cross-database search, search portal are a familiar part of the information community's vocabulary. They speak to the need for search and retrieval to span multiple databases, sources, platforms, protocols, and vendors at one time. Metasearch services rely on a variety of approaches to search and retrieval including open standards (such as NISO's Z39.50), proprietary API's, and screen scraping. However, the absence of widely supported standards, best practices, and tools makes the metasearch environment less efficient for the system provider, the content provider, and ultimately the end-user.
