Increasingly, digital libraries are being defined that collect pointers to World-Wide Web based resources rather than hold the resources themselves. Maintaining these collections is challenging due to distributed document ownership and high fluidity. ...

HeinOnline is a new online archive of law journals. Development of He inOnline began in late 1997 through the cooperation of Cornell Information Technologies, William S. Hein & Co., Inc. of Buffalo, NY, and the Cornell Law Library.

Built upon the ...

This workshop will emphasize small group discussion and brainstorming to explore issues of visualization for heterogeneous digital libraries. The power of visualization lies in its ability to convey information at the high bandwidth of the human ...

Mapping between/among classification schemes is beneficial within an organization that has a number of implicit schemes, between organizations seeking to exchange information, and in a digital library context where collections are organized by different ...

The design of easy-to-use and informative visual interfaces to digital libraries is an integral part to the advances of digital libraries. A wide range of approaches have been developed from a diverse spectrum of perspectives that focus on users and ...

To meet the information needs of isolated primary care providers and t heir patients in the United States (U.S.) Navy, a digital health sciences library - Virtual Naval Hospital (http://www.vnh.org) - was created through a unique partnership between ...

The purpose of this poster is to describe our approach to provide facsimiles of manuscripts and old books as one of our DL services publicly available by Internet.

This paper, discusses a general approach to predicting data access rates and user access patterns for planning distribution capacities and for monitoring data usage. The approach uses a steady-state Markov model to describe user activities and ...

In this poster, we report methodology and initial results from a study of an academic library's migration to an all-electronic journal collection.

The primary goal of the National Digital Library for Undergraduate Mat hematics and Science Teacher Preparation and Professional Development, funded through the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education National Science Digital Libraries Initiative, is to ...

In this paper, we describe how we use a mediator-based architecture for integrating digital libraries. We discuss how we tackle the obstacles of firewalls in the expansion of our system by using XML and Java Servlet, which are used to achieve CORBA ...

The problem of annotating unstructured images is labor intensive and d ifficult to automate. Linking is a type of annotation where an image region is tagged by representing a correspondence between the region and other information. Any serious effort at ...

We consider the application of a system for learning the semantics of image collections to digital libraries. We discuss our approach to browsing and search, and investigate the integration both in more detail.

DSpace is a joint development effort by HP and MIT to establish an ele ctronic system that will enable MIT faculty and researchers to capture, preserve, manage, and disseminate their intellectual output, and that will enable the Institute to maintain ...

Digitizing a large collection of books is an expensive and time-consum ing task-but there may be volunteers all over the world who are willing to do a small portion of the task. This poster describes a system for making digital facsimile editions-e-...

We propose and examine new methods for automatic data loading system and flexible user interface system with many features such as 3D visualization. We implement the earth environmental digital library and operate it on the Web. Though our system is ...

In 2000, a vision of a Physical Sciences Information Infrastructure - an integrated network for the physical sciences - was captured and endorsed. Work continues in 2001 as partnerships are formed and strategies are formulated to move the vision ...
