We consider a digital library distributed in a tightly coupled environment. The library is indexed by inverted files and the vector space model is used as ranking strategy. Using ...
Metadata is an important way of creating order in emerging distributed digital library collections. This paper presents an analysis of ethnographic data gathered in a university l...
Although digital libraries are intended to support education and knowledge work, current digital library interfaces are narrowly focused on retrieval. Furthermore, they are design...

There are many technical challenges in designing the architecture of globally-distributed, federated digital libraries. This paper focuses on the problem of global resource discov...
We analyse transaction logs for a large full-text document collection for Computer Science researchers. We report insights gained from this analysis and identify resulting search ...
We propose an architecture for Digital Library Repositories that assures long-term archival storage of digital objects. The architecture is formed by a federation of independent b...
Previous models of dynamic querying supported by query previews have focussed on attribute based querying, have required information providers to create preview tables, and have p...
