The article addresses practicing librarians and people involved in the creation of digital libraries and institutional or subject repositories by making use of one or more of the many softwares freely available for the purpose. This is an attempt to draw up a checklist of factors to be considered while planning for these projects. The emphasis here is on non-technical, project related issues. An attempt is made to explicitly state and highlight issues that are often overlooked.

Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / In this paper we describe MedTextus, an online medical search portal with dynamic search and browse tools. To search for information, MedTextus lets users request synonyms and related terms specifically tailored to their query. A mapping algorithm dynamically builds the query context based on the UMLS ontology and then selects thesaurus terms that fit this context. Users can add these terms to their query and meta-search five medical databases. To facilitate browsing, the search results can be reviewed as a list of documents per database, as a set of folders into which all the documents are automatically categorized based on their content, and as a map that is built on the fly. We designed a user study to compare these dynamic support tools with the static query support of NLM Gateway and report on initial results for the search task. The users used NLM Gateway more effectively, but used MedTextus more efficiently and preferred its query formation tools.

Not a long time ago, marketing was almost unrecognised and surely marginalised conception for libraries. Nowadays the situation is changing for the better. The libraries tend to slowly change their old passive management strategy for active market behaviour, there is a tendency to â go an extra mile for the clientâ . In my opinion it is the only way how to compare favourably in current competitive environment and not become obsolete and outmoded. The aim of this case study is to compare the marketing of two different sorts of libraries â academic library and public library. For the academic library we have chosen the SWOT analysis type of survey, for the public library the â four Pâ method. Considering the dissimilarity of those two sorts of libraries we regard the methods as the most appropriate. The objective of our case study is to verify the presumption that the public library has to make much bigger effort in its active market behaviour than the academic library.
