  • 1, OAI-PMH
    The open archives initiative protocol for metadata harvesting is designed for reach interoperability between digital libraries and facilitate efficient dissemination of information.
    This paper introduces the basic definition and purpose of OAI-PMH. I think the most important thing is to understand the meaning of OAI-PMH in digital libraries.


    2,
    Todd Miller proposes a new relationship between federated search engines and the library catalog
    It is true that catalogs are rigid in digital age, since information are not limited to physical pattern that can find in one place. And most of content that required by users are not cataloged by libraries. When I use ebay, I find that the information retrieval system is very useful and ebay can provide high relevant results to me, describe content that I need for the commodities.


    3, the truth about federated searching
    This article talks several demerits and problems about federates search engines. I agree with the author's opinions, however, it is common that new things have existed some demerits and I believe scientists will work out these problems in the near future.


    4, the Z39.50 information retrieval standard
    the paper's focus is on how and why Z39.50 developed the way it did, and the conceptual debates that have influenced its evolution and use.


    5, search engine technology and digital libraries
    academically relevant content is very interesting to me.
