Janes, Joseph W.; Rosenfeld, Louis B. – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1992
Examines historical and current difficulties in information retrieval, including the tendency of technology, because of the problems of scale and distribution, to make information invisible to users. Attempts to organize networked resources are described, and serendipity is proposed as a model for future retrieval. (two references) (MES)

Shepherd, Michael A.; Watters, Carolyn – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1992
Characterizes information retrieval systems in a network environment from a user's perspective along two axes: query and presentation. Several examples of early, current, and developing information retrieval systems are considered within this framework, and Daltext, a prototype system to support research on text-based retrieval systems, is…

Frost, Carolyn O.; Janes, Joseph – Proceedings of the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, 1994
Describes plans for an investigation of gopher protocol use for browsing and searching for information available via the Internet. Use of classification schemes based on traditional library models will be compared to the use of an existing gopher. Research questions, literature on related issues, construction of the classification schemes, and the…

Discussion of issues related to the development of navigational tools for networked resources considers parallels and differences between traditional library materials and networked resources. Four domains of the networked environment--applications, information containers, information content, and users--are identified; and results of a pilot…
