A primary aspect of CIMI's work utilizes ANSI/NISO Z39.50-1995, and American National Standard protocol for information retrieval. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recently approved Z39.50 as ISO 23950. CIMI chose Z39.50 to enable uniform access to existing and emerging digital collections and the vast repositories of cultural heritage information resources. These resources include a variety of physical and digital objects--physical artifacts and digital derivatives of those artifacts, descriptive records designed for collection management, bibliographic records, full-text documents, online tools such as thesauri and authoritative lists of artists' names, and more. CIMI's application Z39.50 in the networked cultural heritage information environment is breaking new ground in distributed and integrated access to textual and non-textual digital collections.</p>Resource Discovery Using Z39.50: Promise and Reality2011-06-07T08:36:49-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36297/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36297/"><img alt="Resource Discovery Using Z39.50: Promise and Reality" title="Resource Discovery Using Z39.50: Promise and Reality" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36297/small/"/></a></p><p>This paper discusses the Z39.50 protocol. The ANSI/NISO Z39.50 protocol for information retrieval addresses the complex challenges of intersystem communication. Original uses envisioned for the protocol look very little like current implementations and uses. In the 1980s, users on one library catalog system would search and retrieve bibliographic records on a remote system. By the late 1990s, there was a need for discovering networked resources and integrating access to them. Yet, the Z39.50 protocol has addressed both these scenarios. This paper provides a portrayal of Z39.50 that explains its flexibility in response to a variety of information retrieval requirements in the networked environment.</p>Mapping the Interoperability Landscape for Networked Information Retrieval2011-06-07T08:36:49-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36320/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36320/"><img alt="Mapping the Interoperability Landscape for Networked Information Retrieval" title="Mapping the Interoperability Landscape for Networked Information Retrieval" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36320/small/"/></a></p><p>This paper discusses interoperability of networked information. Interoperability is a fundamental challenge for networked information discovery and retrieval. Often treated monolithically in the literature, interoperability is multifaceted and can be analyzed into different types and levels. This paper discusses an approach to map the interoperability landscape for networked information retrieval as part of an interoperability assessment research project.</p>Improving Z39.50 Interoperability: Z39.50 Profiles and Testbeds for Library Applications2011-06-07T08:36:49-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36283/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36283/"><img alt="Improving Z39.50 Interoperability: Z39.50 Profiles and Testbeds for Library Applications" title="Improving Z39.50 Interoperability: Z39.50 Profiles and Testbeds for Library Applications" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc36283/small/"/></a></p><p>An operating assumption for the networked environment is that many different information systems need to interoperate for users to successfully discover and retrieve distributed resources. Meaningful interoperability is often elusive. In the library community, the Z39.50 standard protocol (ISO 23950/ANSI/NISO Z39.50) for information retrieval promised seamless and transparent networked access to library resources. Too often, the reality has not lived up to the promise. This paper discusses two efforts that offer solution paths to Z39.50 interoperability.</p>Needs Assessment Study of Texas Academic, Public, and School Libraries: Project Plan2016-06-10T06:09:45-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848629/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848629/"><img alt="Needs Assessment Study of Texas Academic, Public, and School Libraries: Project Plan" title="Needs Assessment Study of Texas Academic, Public, and School Libraries: Project Plan" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848629/small/"/></a></p><p>This document outlines the project plan for the Needs Assessment Study of Texas Academic, Public, and School Libraries.</p>A White Paper on Outcomes Evaluation: Concepts, Strategies, and Practical Applications2016-06-10T06:09:45-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848606/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848606/"><img alt="A White Paper on Outcomes Evaluation: Concepts, Strategies, and Practical Applications" title="A White Paper on Outcomes Evaluation: Concepts, Strategies, and Practical Applications" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848606/small/"/></a></p><p>This white paper introduces evaluation concepts and describes outcome-based evaluation.
