 296A:1   Seminar on Extended Retrieval.  Fall 1996.
Clifford Lynch & Michael Buckland. Fridays 3-5. 107 South Hall. CC# 52127.

See Schedule.   To be added to the e-mail list and for other inquiries contact buckland@sims.berkeley.edu

The seminar explores selected advanced topics relating to "digital libraries" with special emphasis on:
- Access to networked resources
- Use of two or more resources in conjunctioni
- Combined use of two or more retrieval systems (e.g. use of pre- or post-processing to enhance the capabilities)
- The redesign of library services.

Also it is expected that these issues will require attention to a number of questions about the nature of information retrieval processes, the feasibility of not-yet-conventional techniques, techniques of making different systems work together, and the reconsideration of past practices. More generally, the seminar is intended to provide a forum for advanced students in the School. Anyone interested in these topics is welcome to join in -- and to talk about their own work. This is a continuation of the previous Lynch / Buckland seminars.
