Back to Berkeley... ________________________________________ ?? Friday Afternoon Seminar on Information Access South Hall 107, 3:00 p.m.
Everyone interested is welcome! http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i296a-1/s09/schedule.html Friday, Mar 20: Paul DUGUID: The World According to grep: What Have We Been Searching For? In recent years the Internet has increasingly been defined by search, its resources reached primarily through a search box. While the Internet is new, search of course is not. And though modern search may appear to endorse the idea that we have always been foraging for information, and that progress has involved shrugging off old encumbrances in order to make information increasingly "free" and autonomous, this discussion hopes to put the history of search in an alternative light and so doing clarify some of what is and is not new and perhaps what is and is not possible for the developing world of digital search. Also Clifford LYNCH: An Update on Institutional Repositories and Development of International Repository Infrastructure We have looked several times at the evolving role of institutional repositories. In this discussion, which follows on an international meeting earlier this week in Amsterdam looking at the roadmap for inter-repository infrastructure, I will look at some of the goals that we might hope to achieve in the evolution of inter-repository infrastructure and inter-repository interoperability of various kinds, and some of the technologies and standards that may be helpful in achieving these goals. ________________________________________
