“…Some users become frustrated using library resources and opt for simpler solutions, such as Google search (Haya et al , 2007; Ponsford and VanDuinkerken, 2007). Cross searching is an efficient way to reduce this frustration by enabling multiple resource searches regardless of search protocols and the format of the metadata, with functions of de‐duplicating, merging and sorting of results, saving searches, and simplifying authentications (Mischo et al , 2002).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to relate how Shanghai Jiao Tong University Library integrates its resources and services, the functions realised and technologies adopted in order to meet user's information needs in a simple, convenient and personalised way. As information resources become more web‐based, disparate and distributed, libraries are facing the challenge of how to provide information efficiently to their users. A promising approach is to integrate resources and deliver services via a portal.Design/methodology/approachThis paper analyses existing portal features, needs and functions, and carries out the approach to meet portal requirements through resource integration and service integration supported by MetaLib, SFX and Web 2.0 technologies.FindingsPortal requirements can be met by resource integration and service integration. Methods to achieve cross searching, ways to enhance resource linking, and integration of library, subject and personalisation services are analysed and concluded. The service framework is depicted in the end.Research limitations/implicationsSince the analysis is not based on an exhaustive list of portals and as technologies are always developing rapidly, the methods and functions to achieve information integration and provision presented in this paper perhaps are not complete and may need to be adjusted and amended. Work is also needed urgently to develop and establish related standards and protocols for service collaboration.Practical implicationsThis paper should be helpful for libraries that plan to provide services to their users via information portals, or to develop or evaluate portal systems or products.Originality/valueThis paper analyses and concludes methods and functions to meet portal requirements through resource integration and service integration supported by MetaLib, SFX and Web 2.0 technologies. It discusses the service collaboration and depicts the service framework.

“…At the turn of the millennium, the Grainger Engineering Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana‐Champaign wished to provide “web‐based asynchronous simultaneous searching of multiple secondary information sources and integrated reference linking between bibliographic resources.” (Mischo et al , 2002, p. 119). Today we might call that “federated searching.” The designers decided to create a custom federated search, for which they combined two different search technologies.…”

The role of web services in portal design: approaches for an Algerian university library

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to present a conceptual model for the design of a scholarly web portal at the University of Tébessa, with which it is hoped that scholarly work stations that combine local and remote holdings, tools and documents will be created. Today, with access to enormous quantities of information facilitated by the web, boundaries between remote and local source documents become invisible. This is of extreme interest for libraries in Algeria, whose local holdings are very limited.Design/methodology/approachAn outlined conceptual model of library portal architecture, with ontological classifications and relationships is presented. The model comes from applying literature reviews to the needs and specifications of the authors and leads to a detailed breakdown of the planning and implementation process.FindingsThree findings in particular are worth noting. First, the contribution of web services to the seamless utility of a scholarly portal is indispensable: interoperable features, formats and protocols can be carefully customized. Second, the conceptual model assists not only in visualization but in implementation phases of the process from assessment of user needs and behaviors through interface creation and ongoing maintenance. Third, a method for recycling (or “porting”) existing applications in constructing new library services is a key component.Originality/valueThough this library portal is conceived for an Algerian library, which will ultimately benefit from inclusion in a nationwide network, Réseau Régional Inter Bibliothèques Universitaires (RIBU), the conceptual model may guide anyone interested in aggregating online information resources into a single, seamless terminal.

Resumen: Este trabajo revisa el planteamiento, concepto y características de los directorios temáticos especializados. Examina siete de ellos, comparando sus procedimientos de tratamiento de recursos de información, calidad e interfaz de usuario, para determinar sus características, y propone líneas de desarrollo de prestaciones y servicios. El trabajo concluye que será necesario desarrollar aspectos de estándares, colaboración e interfaces de usuario en la próxima generación de directorios temáticos Palabras clave: directorios temáticos, recursos de información digital, clasificación, Internet, gestión de tópicosAbstract: This paper analyzes the concept and characteristics of web subject gateways. Seven subject gateways are examined, comparing their information processing for information resources, quality and user interface in order to establish their main characteristics, and proposes development guidelines for performances and services. The work concludes with the need of developing standards, collaboration and user interfaces for the next generation of subject gateways. Keywords: subject gateways, digital information resources, classification, Internet, topics management PlanteamientoLos recursos de información digital disponibles en Internet para satisfacer las necesidades de información de los usuarios adoptan tres formas principales, correspondientes a motores de búsqueda, directorios temáticos y portales verticales. Este tipo de espacios de información, entendiendo como tal la propuesta de estructuras que hace Colomb (1), se sustenta en colecciones de documentos, que son navegados (browsing) por el usuario merced a la existencia de estructuras auxiliares de información. En consecuencia, son espacios de información diseñados para que el usuario descubra (discovery) la información que le es relevante para una necesidad dada. Si bien los motores y los portales han sido objeto de amplia atención en la bibliografía (2), no ha ocurrido lo mismo con los directorios especializados, a pesar de la importancia de los mismos como herramienta de búsqueda y recuperación de información. El notable impacto de las bibliotecas digitales en el campo de la información y la documentación ha incidido en este hecho de tal forma, que incluso directorios temáticos clásicos han comenzado a ser llamados, erróneamente, bibliotecas digitales.
