User Searches in IMLS DCC Collection Registry: Transaction Log Analysis
Date: 2006
Creator: Zavalina, Oksana L.
Description: This technical report discusses user searches in IMLS DCC collection registry. Subject access to collections has been in the focus of attention of LIS field for decades. A number of catalog use studies have been conducted in attempts to better understand its role and the problems user faces while searching for the information on a particular topic, with transaction log analysis being one of the methods widely employed by these studies. However, issues of subject access in federated collections, where the "unit of analysis" is a collection rather than an item search, have not yet been investigated. This paper reports an attempt of such an analysis performed on the IMLS Digital Collection Registry transaction log dataset.

A Study of State Library Agencies' Information Technology Standards Policies and Practices
Date: August 15, 2000
Creator: Moen, William E. & Shobowa, Gloria C.
Description: This report was commissioned and supported by the National Information Standards Organization (NISO). The dynamic pace of technology change challenges all organizations to identify and select standards on which to base mission-critical programs and services. State library agencies face particular challenges because of the increasing demands that publicly supported libraries provide access to increasing quantities and varieties of networked, digital and paper-based information resources and services. State library agencies are in a unique position to influence the adoption and implementation of standards to support statewide library resource sharing. This study, undertaken in 1998, attempted to bridge the gap of information and understanding about the current situation of state library agencies' use, opportunities and issues related to technical standards.

The CIMI Profile: Z39.50 Application Profile for Cultural Heritage Information
Date: March 1, 1998
Creator: Moen, William E.
Description: This document describes an application profile for the use of 'ANSI/NISO Z39.50-1995, Information Retrieval (Z39.50): Application Service Definition and Protocol Specification' [10] for search and retrieval of cultural heritage information. This profile is named the CIMI Profile, where CIMI refers to the Consortium for the Computer Interchange of Museum Information. Cultural heritage information includes resources covering art, architecture, cultural history, and natural history. The CIMI Profile includes specifications for using Z39.50 in this application, although specifications in the Profile, such as the CIMI-1 Attribute Set for searching museum information, may have utility outside of Z39.50 implementations.

A Study of State Library Agencies' Information Technology Standards Policies and Practices: Final Report
Date: August 15, 2000
Creator: Moen, William E. & Shobowa, Gloria C.
Description: This report is on a study of state library agencies' information technology standards policies and practices. The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) sponsored this study to gain a better understanding of its target markets. As the national standards organization for the communities of libraries, information services, and publishers, NISO's goal for supporting this study was to understand state library agencies' concerns related to information technology standards. The study provides NISO with detailed information about the current use of standards by state library agencies and a set of recommendations to better serve the standards needs of state library agencies. Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA) endorsed the study since the data collected would assist its members in awareness of what each state library agency is doing with standards as well as the standards issues identified by the agencies. The study benefits COSLA by suggesting appropriate leadership opportunities for state library agencies in statewide standards policy development and deployment. The study also benefits the agencies by providing a compilation of their standards policies and procedures, and identifying barriers and best practices related to information technology standards. The structure of this report consists of a number of narrative sections and a set ...

Creator: Moen, William E.
Description: This document provides a status report on the Z39.50 Interoperability Testbed Project (Z-Interop) covering the period of April 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002. The previous status report covered a ten-month period from May 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002.
