《图书馆高技术》开源软件特辑

    IT界或与IT相关者,应该对开源软件特别感兴趣。图书馆界这儿,只知道maoj、sogg、一问是高手。“数数比特”的一问还曾是个开源软件的热心推广者,可惜无人喝采;一网还专门设了一个“开源论坛”,同样可惜的是至今仍只有skywind这位域外高人唱独脚戏。
    想来网络图林之外,高手还大有人在吧。

    Library Hi Tech 最新一期(Vol 23 Issue 4 2005)是开源软件特辑(Special Issue: Open source software)。不知道是不是因为提倡open的关系,一向对数据库看管甚严的Emerald,这回竟然也开放了,所有文章都可以下载全文(想看的恐怕得抓紧时间下载)。自己既没有能力一一看懂,也没有时间,只在此留个目录,加上胡乱猜测:

  • An introduction to the open source software issue / Scott P. Muir(开场白)
  • Experiments in academic social book marking with Unalog / Daniel Chudnov, Jeffrey Barnett, Raman Prasad, Matthew Wilcox(又一个社会标签类网站)
  • Archimède: a Canadian solution for institutional repository / Rida Benjelloun(一个机构库软件?)
  • dbWiz: open source federated searching for academic libraries / Calvin Mah, Kevin Stranack(dbWiz:开源的联邦搜索软件)
  • Open Journal Systems: An example of open source software for journal management and publishing / John Willinsky(OA系统软件)
  • Using open source to provide remote patron authentication / Jackie Wrosch(远程用户认证软件也不用花钱)
  • Creating and managing XML with open source software / Eric Lease Morgan(开源软件用XML)
  • Creating digital library collections with Greenstone / Ian H. Witten, David Bainbridge(新西兰的Greenstone数字图书馆软件)
  • Taking pro-action: A survey of potential users before the availability of wireless access and the implementation of a wireless notebook computer lending program in an academic library / Hugh A. Holden, Margaret Deng(无线服务调查)
  • A statewide metasearch service using OAI-PMH and Z39.50 / Joanne Kaczmarek, Chew Chiat Naun(用OAI-PMH与Z39.50的元搜索服务)
  • Similar interest clustering and partial back-propagation-based recommendation in digital library / Kai Gao, Yong-Cheng Wang, Zhi-Qi Wang(大名鼎鼎的王永成!不过好象与开源没什么关系?)
  • Lessons learned from analyzing library database usage data / Karen A. Coombs(图书馆数据库利用分析)
  • Using screen capture software for web site usability and redesign buy-in / Susan Goodwin(难道Camtasia Studio也是开源软件?刚好才用过这个抓屏软件,试用期30天,过后就得付钱了!)

Karen A. Coombs是博客Library Web Chic 的主人,她在My article is out!(2005-12-6)中说上文是她一年前投的稿,研究项目更是前一年的事。无论中外,发表文章都不易啊!
