Les fonds d'archives forment de grandes quantités de documents difficiles à interpréter automatiquement : les approches classiques imposent un lourd effort de conception, sans parvenir à empêcher la production d'erreurs qu'il faut corriger après les traitements. Face à ces limites, notre travail vise à améliorer la processus d'interprétation, en conservant un fonctionnement page par page, et en lui apportant des informations contextuelles extraites du fonds documentaire ou fournies par des opérateurs humains. Nous proposons une extension ciblée de la description d'une page qui permet la mise en place systématique d'échanges entre le processus d'interprétation et son environnement. Un mécanisme global itératif gère l'apport progressif d'informations contextuelles à ce processus, ce qui améliore l'interprétation. L'utilisation de ces nouveaux outils pour le traitement de documents du XVIIIe siècle a montré qu'il était facile d'intégrer nos propositions à un système existant, que sa conception restait simple, et que l'effort de correction pouvait être diminué.

ETDs are also beginning to diffuse slowly among American universities; however, a number of issues continue to work against more rapid adoption among intitutions in the United States. / ABSTRACT: This dissertation examines ETDs as an evolving electronic research genre by (1) historicizing the situated development of its predecessor, the traditional print dissertation, in nineteenth century German and American Universities; (2) reporting on the current state of the Networked Digital Library of Electronic Theses and Dissertations, an initiative of Virginia Polytechnic University; (3) analyzing ETDs as a technological innovation undergoing the diffusion process according to Emmet Roger's Diffusion of Innovation Theory; and (4) presenting the results of an ETD pilot project case study carried out at the University of South Florida. / System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. / Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Dans un cycle ou chaque document scientifique, s'inspirant lui même d'autres productions, sera lu et commenté par des chercheurs qui le citeront, l'écrit sera une production tour à tour finie, réactualisée et toujours une source d'appropriation et de citation. Après une introduction à la recherche d'information, nous examinerons la typologie des documents scientifiques, les modalités de stockage et de diffusion, ainsi que les normes et protocoles associés. Nous décrivons plusieurs méthodes de recherche documentaire et différents outils d'interrogation des bases de connaissances. Nous postulons qu'aujourd'hui la recherche documentaire peut être techniquement automatisée, de la première étape d'établissement du périmètre de recherche jusqu'à l'écriture de la bibliographie. Les étapes de sélection et de gestion documentaire peuvent aussi être facilitées par des outils et normes dédiés. Nous proposons une étude centrée sur l'usager pour faire émerger des profils utilisateurs et les usages associés, puis nous soumettons une démarche conceptuelle et expérimentale d'accompagnement visuel à la recherche de documentation scientifique. Nous nous intéressons tant aux méthodologies d'évaluation et de recommandation de ce type de littérature qu'aux formats et normes documentaires. Nous synthétisons l'ensemble des procédures d'automatisation bibliographiques pour modéliser un outil de recherche alliant respect des normes, souplesse d'usage et considération des besoins cognitifs et documentaires de l'usager. Cette interface servira de support à une recherche naviguée dans les corpus documentaires avec l'intégration de services d'exposition de métadonnées.

The study aimed to examine high school student usage of licensed databases available through public libraries in Atlanta-USA. A descriptive quantitative survey was conducted via a web-based questionnaire among 135 East Cobb high school students. The findings revealed that most students are aware of these licensed databases, but their usage is low (1:10) compared to Google. However, as students advance in grade levels, their database usage increases and GALILEO is the most-used licensed resource. Factors that influence student database usage include: specific academic needs; teacher instruction to use specific databases and frequent Digital Information Literacy (DIL) instruction. Most students receive DIL instruction at school, but their DIL skills are still inadequate. To increase usage of licensed databases as reliable information resources, the study recommends collaboration between public libraries and high schools, including incorporation of Generation Y's digital information preferences such as Google-type simplified interfaces, cutting-edge technology and time-saving search features. / Information Science / M.A. (Information Science)

Dans le cadre de trois projets européens, notre équipe a mis au point un modèle de données et un langage de requête pour bibliothèques numériques supportant l'identification, la structuration, les métadonnées, la réutilisation, et la découverte des ressources numériques. Le modèle proposé est inspiré par le Web et il est formalisé comme une théorie du premier ordre, dont certains modèles correspondent à la notion de bibliothèque numérique. En outre, une traduction complète du modèle en RDF et du langage de requêtes en SPARQL a également été proposée pour démontrer son adéquation à des applications pratiques. Le choix de RDF est dû au fait qu’il est un langage de représentation généralement accepté dans le cadre des bibliothèques numériques et du Web sémantique. L’objectif de cette thèse était double: concevoir et mettre en œuvre une forme simplifiée de système de gestion de bibliothèques numériques, d’une part, et contribuer à l’enrichissement du modèle, d’autre part. Pour atteindre cet objectif nous avons développé un prototype d’un système de bibliothèque numérique utilisant un stockage RDF pour faciliter la gestion interne des métadonnées. Le prototype permet aux utilisateurs de gérer et d’interroger les métadonnées des ressources numériques ou non-numériques dans le système en utilisant des URIs pour identifier les ressources, un ensemble de prédicats pour la description de ressources, et des requêtes conjonctives simples pour la découverte de connaissances dans le système. Le prototype est mis en œuvre en utilisant les technologies Java et l’environnement de Google Web Toolkit dont l'architecture du système se compose d'une couche de stockage, d’une couche de métier logique, d’une couche de service, et d’une interface utilisateur. Pendant la thèse, le prototype a été construit, testé et débogué localement, puis déployé sur Google App Engine. Dans l’avenir, il peut être étendu pour devenir un système complet de gestion de bibliothèques numériques. Par ailleurs, la thèse présente également notre contribution à la génération de contenu par réutilisation de ressources. Il s’agit d’un travail théorique dont le but est d’enrichir le modèle en lui ajoutant un service important, à savoir la possibilité de création de nouvelles ressources à partir de celles stockées dans le système. L’incorporation de ce service dans le système sera effectuée ultérieurement. / In the context of three European projects, our research team has developed a data model and query language for digital libraries supporting identification, structuring, metadata, and discovery and reuse of digital resources. The model is inspired by the Web and it is formalized as a first-order theory, certain models of which correspond to the notion of digital library. In addition, a full translation of the model to RDF and of the query language to SPARQL has been proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of the model and its suitability for practical applications. The choice of RDF is due to the fact that it is a generally accepted representation language in the context of digital libraries and the Semantic Web. One of the major aims of the thesis was to design and actually implement a simplified form of a digital library management system based on the theoretical model. To obtain this, we have developed a prototype based on RDF and SPARQL, which uses a RDF store to facilitate internal management of metadata. The prototype allows users to manage and query metadata of digital or non-digital resources in the system, using URIs as resource identifiers, a set of predicates to model descriptions of resources, and simple conjunctive queries to discover knowledge in the system. The prototype is implemented by using Java technologies and the Google Web Toolkit framework whose system architecture consists of a storage layer, a business logic layer, a service layer and a user interface. During the thesis work, the prototype was built, tested, and debugged locally and then deployed on Google App Engine. In the future, it will be expanded to become a full fledged digital library management system. Moreover, the thesis also presents our contribution to content generation by reuse. This is mostly theoretical work whose purpose is to enrich the model and query language by providing an important community service. The incorporation of this service in the implemented system is left to future work.

Nesse sentido, este estudo tem por objetivo investigar as características dos leitores e dos tipos de leitura desenvolvidos na Biblioteca Central da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, considerando que, atualmente, os recursos de leitura e pesquisa tradicionais dividem espaço com novos produtos e serviços, influenciados pelas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação. Para tanto, envolve uma pesquisa exploratória baseada em uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo como instrumentos de coleta de dados, a observação, o questionário, a entrevista estruturada e a observação participante. A pesquisa de campo foi dividida em duas etapas principais, sendo a primeira, a elaboração de um perfil socioeconômico e cultural, e a segunda etapa, a realização de entrevistas e observações dos processos de navegação dos usuários/leitores da biblioteca. Na primeira etapa, entre outros aspectos, observamos que os leitores da Biblioteca Central correspondem a um público diversificado e dinâmico, composto, em sua maioria por alunos de cursos de graduação que se encontram cadastrados no Sistema Pergamum. A maioria dos usuários/leitores utiliza a biblioteca frequentemente, sendo constatada também uma quantidade significativa de visitantes que utilizam o ambiente de estudo para concursos e similares. A pesquisa acadêmica corresponde à maior razão de uso da biblioteca e, quanto aos produtos e serviços, observou-se que os livros, a consulta local, o serviço de circulação de materiais bibliográficos e a utilização do ambiente para estudo são os recursos mais utilizados pelos leitores, havendo um baixo índice de uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação no ambiente da biblioteca, bem como dos serviços informatizados. A segunda fase da investigação compreendeu três momentos: abordagem dos sujeitos (quando ocorreu o agendamento das entrevistas e observações), entrevista estruturada e observação participante. As entrevistas envolveram questões referentes às características dos leitores, suas relações com as tecnologias, com o ciberespaço, produtos e serviços da Biblioteca Central. A observação participante explorou a solução de três problemas de navegação propostos aos pesquisados, qual seja, a realização de uma pesquisa genérica, a realização de uma pesquisa acadêmica e a exploração dos serviços on-line da Biblioteca Central (pesquisas no catálogo eletrônico, reservas, renovações etc.). Concluiu-se que todos os usuários pesquisados nesta etapa do estudo apresentaram características de leitores imersivos, mas alguns também se destacaram como leitores meditativos, sendo que estes perfis são influenciados pelo ambiente, situação e objetivos de pesquisa, bem como pela cultura dos leitores. Além disso, se por um lado, o fato de serem leitores imersivos não significa que prefiram utilizar apenas o ciberespaço, em detrimento dos livros e demais materiais impressos, esta mesma prerrogativa também não significa que estes leitores conhecem, dominam e utilizam amplamente os serviços eletrônicos da Biblioteca Central da UFMT. / The Technologies of the Information and Communication are important elements for the access to the information, the production of new knowledge and the scientific development, being present also in the context of the higher education and in the environment of the academical libraries, as much as resources of computerize of the technical services and of the administration of these Units, as in the development of products and services based on digital contents of information. Thereby, this study has for objective to investigate the readers' characteristics and of the reading types developed at the Central Library of the Mato Grosso Federal University, considering that, nowadays, the reading resources and traditional research divide space with new products and services, influenced by the Technologies of the Information and Communication. Accordingly it involves an exploratory research based in a qualitative approach, tends as instruments of collection of data, the observation, the questionnaire, the structured interview and the participant observation. The field research was divided in two main stages, the first main was the elaboration of a socioeconomic and cultural profile, and the second stage was the accomplishment of interviews and observations of the processes of navigation of the users/readers of the library. In the first stage, among other aspects, we observed that the readers of the Central Library correspond to a diversified and dynamic public, composed, in its majority for students of degree courses that they are registered in the Pergamum System. Most of the users/readers uses the library frequently, being also verified a significant amount of visitors that use the environment study for contests and similar. The academic research corresponds to the largest reason of use of the library and, and the products and services, it was observed that the books, the local consultation, the service of circulation of bibliographical materials and the use of the atmosphere for study are the resources more used by the readers, having a low index of use of the Technologies of the Information and Communication in the environment of the library, like of the computerized services. The second phase of the investigation understood three moments: approach of the subjects (when it happened the scheduling of the interviews and observations), structured interview and participant observation. The interviews involved questions about the readers' characteristics, their relationships with the technologies, with the cyberspace, products and services of the Central Library. The participant observation explored the solution of three navigation problems proposed to those researched: the accomplishment of a generic research, the accomplishment of an academic research and the exploration of the on-line services of the Central Library (researches in the electronic catalog, reservations, renewals etc.). It was concluded that all of the users researched in this stage of the study presented characteristics of immersive readers, but some readers also stand out like a meditative readers, and these profiles are influenced by the atmosphere, situation and research objectives, as them culture. Besides, on the hand, the fact of they be immersive readers it doesn't mean that they prefer just use the cyberspace, to the detriment of the books and too much materials printed papers, this same prerogative doesn't also mean that these readers know, they dominate and they use the electronic services of the Central Library of UFMT thoroughly.

It approaches the importance of production and communication in shared science in books and scientific journals. It reveals the course of digital libraries and institutional repositories, concepts, goals and functions which enable the interoperability of systems propitiating the sharing of information between the scientific communities and society in general through the open access. It identifies the elements of success in repositories through systematic literature review distributed into seven distinct stages resulting in three analyzed articles. Then the challenges, actions and opportunities for practice of each element detected in the analyzed articles were punctuated. The result of the analyses pointed to a set of actions that must be observed for developers of digital repositories, including design, implementation and management.

L’analyse historique et sociologique de la mise en place des bibliothèques numériques dans trois institutions patrimoniales (Bibliothèque nationale de France, British Library, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek), sur une période allant de 1990 à 2011, montre la façon dont ces organisations, produisant et conservant un patrimoine physique, se sont transformées pour constituer et préserver un patrimoine numérique. La bibliothèque numérique est ici considérée de manière double, à la fois innovation technique et organisation. Elle est une innovation technique car elle est fondée sur un ensemble d’inventions (photographie numérique, serveurs web, internet, reconnaissance optique de caractères, métadonnées, etc…). Ces inventions sont combinées sous l’action de groupes de référence (chercheurs, bibliothécaires, informaticiens, éditeurs, pouvoirs publics, responsables marketing, mécènes, entreprises privées). Ces groupes peuvent être soit marginaux, soit inclus dans un réseau socio-technique spécifique qui contribue à la mise en place de la bibliothèque numérique. Cette dernière est un artefact technique qui évolue dans le temps, passant du stade d’objet-valise, caractérisé par une grande flexibilité interprétative, à celui d’objet-frontière, répondant aux besoins de tous les groupes de référence inclus dans le réseau. Une bibliothèque numérique est également une organisation, émanant de la bibliothèque physique, qui crée des services spécifiques chargés de contrôler les zones d’incertitude majeures que sont les techniques numériques et l’émergence de fournisseurs de contenus en ligne. Ceux-ci concurrencent les bibliothèques nationales dans la diffusion du patrimoine culturel. Les controverses entre acteurs sont les moments privilégiés où se dévoilent leurs positions face à l’artefact technique : la traduction est alors le moyen d’enrôler les membres du réseau socio-technique pour aboutir à la fixation provisoire de l’artefact. Le réseau socio-technique évolue dans le temps pour créer de nouvelles versions de l’artefact. / The historical and sociological analysis of the setting up of digital libraries in three heritage institutions (Bibliothèque nationale de France, British Library, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek), from 1990 to 2011, shows how these organisations, which produce and preserve physical cultural heritage, have evolved to produce and preserve digital cultural heritage. The digital library has two aspects: it is a technological innovation and an organisation of its own. As a technological innovation, it is grounded on inventions such as digital photography, web servers, internet, optical character recognition, metadata…These inventions are combined by the action of reference groups (scholars, librarians, computer specialists, public administrations, sponsors, private companies). These groups are either marginal or included in a socio-technical network which creates the digital library. The latter is a technical artefact that evolves from a “suitcase-object” with great interpretive flexibility to a boundary object which satisfies the needs of reference groups taking part in the socio-technical network. A digital library is also an organisation, stemming from the physical library which creates specific departments in charge of controlling major uncertainty zones such as digital technologies and emerging online content providers. The latter compete with national libraries in the diffusion of cultural heritage. Controversies between actors are key moments when actors reveal their opinions concerning the technical artefact: translation is the means to enlist members of the socio-technical network to achieve the temporary closure of the artefact. The socio-technical network evolves with time to create new versions of the artefact.

(in English): The aim of diploma theses Educational Programs for the Digital Libraries Sphere and Digitisation on Information and Library Science Schools in the USA is to compare studying programs of chosen schools of information science and librarianship in the USA for digital libraries and digitisation sphere and according to this analysis make some recommendations for ÚISK FF UK. In the theoretical part there are competencies for that field introduced and its development in praxis and education is showed. In the practical part of the work follows the analysis of chosen american schools of information studies (universities Chapel Hill in the North Carolina, Michigan, Boston, Illinois and Syracuse), where the issues of digitisation and digital libraries are taught. Based on this analysis continues the work with some recommendations possible for using in the ÚISK FF UK.
