“…Data was collected on the number of works by literary authors, as evidenced by the 100 (personal name) or 700 (added entry--personal name) MARC fields of the OCLC bibliographic record, and by the number of works about those authors, as evidenced by the MARC 600 (subject added entry-personal name) field. Data was also collected on the number of works both by and about an author, those by but not about an author, and those about but not by the authorbased on Boolean search principles as outline by Naun (2010). In order to collect the data, a data collection technique called "fame" is employed.…”

“…Wówczas pojawiły się artykuły w czasopismach fachowych przedstawiające pomysły na katalogi "next generation" (n.p. Morgan, 2009;Naun, 2010;Wynne & Hanscom, 2011;Wang & Dawes, 2012, p. 81). Jednym z postulatów służących udoskonaleniu OPAC była poprawa funkcjonalności, która polegać miała na zmianie mechanizmu wyszukiwania, prezentacji i nawigacji w zbiorze wyników.…”

Teza/cel artykułu – Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie aktualnego stanu stosowania nawigacji fasetowej w polskich bibliotekach naukowych. Dokonano porównania zastosowania faset w OPAC tych bibliotek oraz w bibliotekach cyfrowych organizowanych lub współorganizowanych przez te biblioteki. Metody badań – Dokonano analizy zawartości stron internetowych bibliotek, głównie ich narzędzi wyszukiwawczych: OPAC i multiwyszukiwarek (discovery systems). Uwzględniono biblioteki największych, państwowych szkół wyższych oraz Bibliotekę Narodową. Po odnalezieniu narzędzia nawigacji fasetowej dokonywano analizy ilościowej i jakościowej stosowanych faset. Następnie podobna analiza prowadzona była w stosunku do bibliotek cyfrowych, organizowanych lub współorganizowanych przez analizowane biblioteki. Wyniki – Ponad 60% polskich bibliotek naukowych stosuje fasety w swoich narzędziach wyszukiwawczych. Wśród nich najwięcej jest bibliotek uniwersyteckich (78% przebadanych bibliotek), wychowania fizycznego (67%), ekonomicznych (60%) i technicznych (56%). Średnia liczba faset stosowanych w OPAC wynosi 8,7. Nieco mniej faset stosowanych jest w bibliotekach cyfrowych, średnio 8,66. Do najczęściej stosowanych faset należały takie, jak Forma/Typ, Język, Data wydania, Autor/Twórca. Wnioski – Fasety są rozpowszechnionym narzędziem wyszukiwawczym w bibliotekach polskich szkół wyższych. Stosowane są zarówno w ILS (Integrated Library System) zagranicznych, jak i w polskich. Pod względem liczby i rodzaju faset pomiędzy OPAC i bibliotekami cyfrowymi zachodzą bardzo niewielkie różnice, stąd wniosek, że stosowany schemat metadanych ma na to bardzo niewielki wpływ.

“…Recent developments in library search interfaces have almost exclusively focused on “developing tools to search across heterogeneous resources [using] a common search syntax and a uniform presentation of search results” (Naun, 2010). For a number of years, WWU Libraries has offered a specialized search interface that searches only videos and allows users to pre‐select the formats desired (DVD or VHS).…”

Creating a specialized music search interface in a traditional OPAC environment

Purpose -Undergraduate music majors often search for resources in a limited number of formats. This developed a specialized search interface which might better support the needs of undergraduate music majors. The aim of this paper is to improve music resource discovery now, without spending any additional funds.Design/methodology/approach -A literature search was conducted to inform the design process. The web search capabilities of the library's existing catalog system were then used to develop a specialized music search interface. Finally, user testing was conducted to obtain qualitative feedback on the effectiveness of the new interface compared with the general-purpose library catalog interface.Findings -This project confirmed that an effective specialized music search interface could be created at no additional cost and with minimal effort, and that coupling a keyword search with pre-search format limiting was an effective strategy.Originality/value -The paper provides a low-cost approach to improving music searching using tools that already exist in most ILSs.Keywords Computer software, Libraries, Music, Online retrieval, Information retrieval, Online operation, Online catalogues, Library systems, United States of America Paper type Case study IntroductionHow people search for music is likely to change in the years ahead. In its annual proceedings, the International Society of Music Information Retrieval (2010) routinely describes potential new ways to discover music. The current generation of library discovery interfaces that offer tag clouds, concept maps, and facetted searching will also likely impact how music is discovered. These new methods of music information retrieval, however, are not yet available in many integrated library systems (ILSs). Like many institutions, budget constraints at Western Washington University (WWU) make the purchase of a new discovery layer unlikely in the next few years.The goal of this project was to improve music resource discovery now, without spending any additional funds. The project resulted in the creation of a specialized music interface based solely on the capabilities inherent in most traditional ILSs. After describing the environment in which the development took place, the article discusses the principle design issues-what type of search would best support music searching and which format limits to offer. Qualitative user assessment was obtained through user testing in which each participant searched for music resources in both the existing general-purpose catalog interface and the specialized music search
