The Digital Library Dilemma

• Integration is still the issue
• And there is still no magic solution that will
  meet the needs of every library user and every
  library management function
• More players means marketplace shopping is now
  required
• Integrated Library System (ILS) vendors do not
  necessarily have the best system modules i.e.
  one can no longer assume that the best OPAC
  provider will also be to provide the the best
  links server
• Shrinking budgets demand smarter choices for
  content and tools
• For content and tools, even if it means moving
  from old favorites
• Bibliographic instruction and reference
  librarians are staggering under the weight of
  todays demands
• Particularly from first-year students and new
  library users

3
How do librarians and information professionals ?

• Find versions of research databases that maintain
  the integrity of special indexing while offering
  ease-of-use and value-add benefits such as
  innovative linking and searching? And do so in a
  cost-effective way?
• Select research platforms and implement systems
  that complement the librarys current electronic
  resources in a way that ensures that new systems
  do not place an added burden on library staff?
• Reduce the demand for first-level bibliographic
  instruction and reference assistance by selecting
  tools that help new users immediately access
  library resources and then discover the databases
  best suited to their needs?

4
How Thomson ISI is helping you answer those
questions

• By continuing to enhance our flagship products
  Web of Science 6.0 fully integrates chemical
  structure searching and alerting
• By partnering with other information companies to
  provide Hosted Content versions of BIOSIS
  Previews, CAB Abstracts, INSPEC, FSTA,
  PsycINFO and Medline that assure depth of
  coverage, ease-of-use, and ISI platform benefits
  not found elsewhere
• By continuing to evolve the ISI Web of Knowledge
  environment, offering personalization and
  alerting with version 2.0
• By offering the best of federated searching
  through WebFeat, a one-stop search system that
  educates new library users as it increases usage
  of your underutilized resources

• The facts --
• Today's researchers routinely cite published
  works that are twenty, thirty, and forty years
  old or more. Within the material indexed in the

  in the year 2000, research published in the
  following years was cited with this frequency --

• 1945 - 5,181
• 1950 - 11,437

Integration of Alerting in the ISI Web of Science

• Creates an alert from any Web of Science search
• General alerting (topic, author, source title,
  and address, or any set-combination)
• Cited reference alerting
• Chemical structure alerting
• Utilizes a special alerting module
• Free for mutual subscribers of Web of Science and
  CC Connect
• Additional fee for non-CCC subscribers
• Allows your search to be saved to an ISI server
  as an alert
• Works in conjunction with ISI Web of KnowledgeSM
  2.0
• Alerts are created within Web of Science, but can
  be managed through your personalized ISI Web of
  Knowledge homepage (more on this later in the
  presentation)

73
What is WebFeat? A federated search solution.

• Provides one search interface for all your
  librarys electronic resources
• OPACs, bibliographic subscription databases,
  full-text resources, electronic reference
  materials, proprietary content
• What Z39.50 tried to do but could not
• Instead of expecting all databases to understand
  one protocol, WebFeat has a translator for
  every database
• Is not meant to replace searching of individual
  databases but
• To provide novice users with a starting point
  to find the resources best for them
• To assist all users who need an overview of your
  electronic resources
• To increase traffic to your underutilized
  databases

74
How is WebFeat the Best?

• WebFeat is a service, not just a software package
• Hosted on our server, configured and maintained
  by our experts
• Minimal set-up and no ongoing maintenance of
  translators
• Taking the burden off your library and IT staff
• WebFeat is fully customizable
• Blends into the look-and-feel of your particular
  site
• Allowing you to decide what interface layout is
  best for your researchers

Lets take a look at three different sites
75
Simple search to start novice users on their way
Blends into the librarys own pages!
76
More advanced search allows Boolean queries...
and choice of databases listed alphabetically
or by subject -- you decide!
77
Another way to implement an advanced search
You choose the layout that works best for your
organisation
78
Enter your query and click SEARCH
79
The Search Summary lists the number of hits
Click on a database name to see the first set of

80
Whether linking to a full record or to full text,

database environment
81
How is WebFeat the Best? (continued)

• WebFeat can accommodate any browser-accessible
  database
• 1200 translators have already been created, and
  any other translators can be custom-made by
  WebFeat experts
• Web, telnet, and your native DBMS files (Oracle,
  SQLServer, etc.)
• Fully supports subscription-based databases
  BECAUSE
• WebFeat works with your authentication system
• Supports all types of authentication and access
  (IP, ID/password, referring URL, and
  combinations), whereas others cannot
• Uses your entitlements for seamless navigation to
  full-text
• WebFeat includes usage reporting, the others do
  not.
• Web-based for easy access
• Aggregate statistics as well as breakdown by
  individual database
• Numbers of sessions, searches, hits, full records
  requested, etc.

82
The benefits of partnership WebFeat and the ISI
Web of Knowledge!

• The ISI Web of Knowledge platform supports
  federated searching
• PubMedSM
• AGRICOLA
• Other free databases to follow, in all
  disciplines
• Therefore, WebFeat can also be implemented
  directly within your ISI Web of Knowledge
  environment
• Appears with other resources under External
  Collections
• Allows researchers who rely on the Web of Science
  and other ISI databases to start from the ISI Web
  of Knowledge homepage and be led to your other
  electronic resources
