**Meeting New User Expectations**
Users’ perspective on information retrieval is largely shaped by web
experiences. Accordingly libraries are feeling pressure to adapt their
services in line with new user expectations. Bibliographic databases are
no exception to this and users expect them to come up with the most
relevant information on the first page of a search result. Thus the
challenge for use is “How can we make relevance ranking work in
bibliographic databases?”
Search engines and web experiences have led users expect to get to a
resource instantaneously. How do we fulfil this need when large parts of
our services are still based around paper material? In a new style
library catalogue, users do not expect to find just journal titles, but
also expect articles within these journals to be found. What strategies
do libraries use to fulfil this wish? As well, Library catalogue records
are now harvested by Google and other search engines. Are we able to
expose our meta-data to these engines for useful re use and cross
referencing? Are we able to expose the richness of our bibliographic
databases to the web using semantic web technologies like linked data?
Are we ready for the E-book readers? What do libraries do to archive our
E-memory? Are our new discovery interfaces understood by our users? Do
we know our users?
