The current study applies bibliometric techniques to the study of the emerging field of Neuroethics, which saw its official formation only seven years ago, in 2002. The object of Neuroethics as a discipline is to understand the impact that neuroscience and neurotechnology have on both the medical professions and society in general. The first goal of the studyis to identify and characterize the core literature of Neuroethics as it exists today; this segment of the research has been completed. The second goal of the studyis to track the gradual infusion of Neuroethics ideas into the general literature of Medical Ethics and Bioethics; this phase of the reseach is in progress.
The University Libraries (UL) at the University of New Mexico has experience implementing both a resource discovery tool from a standard library vendor and an in-house, custom built federated search using Drupal® as a Content Management System. The standard vendor-based resource discovery tool was the library’s first attempt at a federated search, and feedback from librarians and users was not always positive, largely because results seemed inconsistent and lacking clear relevance to the terms searched. The Drupal® approach proved to be straightforward to implement, very flexible, and customizable, but the project team determined it would not be scalable as a solution for searching the library’s entire collection. This chapter describes the UL’s experience with both tools, and provides best practices and recommendations for libraries considering either type of approach.

This confluence of old and new technologies presents numerous challenges both in the management and retrieval of media content assets. This paper summarizes theoretical issues and examines how the Media Content Management Group at Microsoft Studios has integrated the timely and accurate collection of metadata into the larger video production workflow.
