Samia Shafique – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Shoeprints are a common type of evidence found at crime scenes and are regularly used in forensic investigations. However, their utility is limited by the lack of reference footwear databases that cover the large and growing number of distinct shoe models. Additionally, existing methods for matching crime-scene shoeprints to reference databases…

Michalski, Greg V. – Association for Institutional Research (NJ1), 2011
Excessive college course withdrawals are costly to the student and the institution in terms of time to degree completion, available classroom space, and other resources. Although generally well quantified, detailed analysis of the reasons given by students for course withdrawal is less common. To address this, a text mining analysis was performed…

Jewell, Sharon; Brandhorst, W. T. – 1973
The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system's computerized data base was the focus of a three-hour tutorial session on search strategies. This document is the workshop manual used by the tutorial participants. The discussion of the input phase of a computer search covers identification of the user population, receiving the inquiry,…

Bernier, Charles L. – Journal of Chemical Documentation, 1972
Techniques, media, and systems for making organized data available exist, but have not been used extensively enough. Reasons for failure to use these are explored and recommendations made for extraction by authors at time of writing, centralized organization, and publication through existing organization. Datum signatures are described. (50…

Kimbrough, Kenneth L. – 1982
This exploratory investigation of the process of defining the information needs of computer users and the impact of that process on information retrieval focuses on communication problems. Six sites were visited that used computers to process data or to provide information, including the California Department of Transportation, the California…

Kantor, Paul B.; Ng, Kwong Bor – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Categorizes different theoretical justifications of data fusion into two approaches, examines their implications, analyzes some unsuccessful data fusion experiments, and proposes two conditions for effective data fusion. Results indicate that the efficacy and inter-scheme dissimilarity are good predictors for effectiveness of data fusion.…

Yu, Clement; Sharma, Prasoon; Meng, Weiyi; Qin, Yan – 2001
This paper considers the processing of digital library queries, consisting of a text component and a structured component in distributed environments. The paper concentrates on the processing of the structured component of a distributed query. A method is proposed to identify the databases that are likely to be useful for processing any given…

Neville, Sandra H. – 1974
The University of New Mexico (UNM) General Library supports the locally-managed ERIC search service. During the 1973/1974 fiscal year, more than 3,000 searches were processed by the UNM Division of Computer and Information Science using a specially developed retrieval program, GANDALF (General Alpha-Numeric Direct Access Library Facility). This…

Aldous, K. J. – Information Processing & Management, 1996
Discusses a method for organizing and augmenting the data in a complex database to make automatic retrieval possible. Presents an example of the method using a database of information on the nature and use of fungicides. Initial results of trials with potential users suggest that the system can produce relevant responses to queries. (Author/AEF)

VanDereedt, Angie S. – 1991
This paper examines some of the finding aids (e.g., information that provides insight into a group of records in an archival collection) currently used or being developed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). It explores their practicality and whether and how they can be improved. In addition, the paper analyzes the factors…
