Advances in search-engine technology, the popularity of the Internet and the influx of electronic information resources have greatly changed the way libraries do their work. To address those changes, the Library of Congress has convened a Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control to examine the future of bibliographic description in the 21st century.
CC0 enables scientists, educators, artists and other creators and owners of copyright-protected content to waive copyright interests in their works and thereby place them as completely as possible in the public domain, so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse the works for any purposes without restriction under copyright.
In contrast to CC’s licenses that allow copyright holders to choose from a range of permissions while retaining their copyright, CC0 empowers yet another choice altogether – the choice to opt out of copyright and the exclusive rights it automatically grants to creators – the “no rights reserved” alternative to our licenses.
The FacetedDBLP search interface allows to search computer science publications in the DBLP collection starting from some keyword and shows the result set along with a set of facets, e.g., distinguishing publication years, authors, or conferences. It is the first large scale application that uses GrowBag graphs to create a computer science specific topic facet, with which a user can characterize the result set in terms of main research topics and filter it according to certain subtopics.
FacetedDBLP builds upon the DBLP++ data set which is an enhancement of DBLP (as of 2008-11-21) plus additional keywords and abstracts as available on public web pages. We have also corrected some of the links to electronic editions, which were broken in DBLP. A brief description of the GrowBag facet within FacetedDBLP can be found in our JCDL paper, a detailed description of the algorithm is available on the GrowBag project page.
Koha is the first open-source Integrated Library System (ILS). In use worldwide, its development is steered by a growing community of libraries collaborating to achieve their technology goals. Koha's impressive feature set continues to evolve and expand to meet the needs of its user base.
ibra Academic Search is a free computer science bibliography search engine, and it is also a test-bed for our object-level vertical search research. Currently the following types of paper-related objects can be searched: Papers, Authors, Conferences, Journals, and Research Communities. The objects are sorted based on their relevance to your query and their global importance. The relevance score of an object is computed by considering all the collected information about its attributes, and the importance score is calculated by considering its relationships with other objects. Features of Libra Academic Search include the ability to * Find top scientists, conferences, and journals in a specific field * Witness the growth and evolution of research communities * Locate top research papers * Identify rising stars or hot topics in your field ##subjects: cs ##date: Thu Nov 15 11:24:15 PST 2007 ##editor: Jim Pitman ##
Mathematical software has developed during the last twenty years to an established tool in mathematical research and education. Its importance is meanwhile comparable to that of mathematical literature. In contrast to the various systematic collections of mathematical literature, collections of mathematical software so far only exist in a rudimentary manner. In order to make the existing resources more visible and to use them efficiently, it is indispensable to provide appropriate methods and tools for locating, cataloguing, reviewing, and searching of mathematical software. The intention of the Oberwolfach References on Mathematical Software (ORMS) project is to initiate the developement of a permanent provider of infrastructure.
AuthorMapper is a free interactive tool that visualizes scientific research areas and trends in an easy and refined way. It will assist the scientific research community by plotting authors, subjects and institutions on a world map as well as identifying scientific trends through timeline graphs, statistics and regions.
About the HEPNames Database
HEPNames attempts to be a comprehensive directory of people involved in High-Energy Physics and related fields. We compile information from numerous sources, primarily laboratory directories and user supplied information. If you have some concerns about information on your record, see the "corrections" link on the right, or email us at hepnames@slac.stanford.edu.
Xstructure is a service for browsing and searching papers in arxiv.org
Among the features of this service are:
* Automated generation of hierarchical classification scheme for the papers. The scheme results from classification of the papers in the arxiv database. The only input for the classification is the citation graph. The number of the levels in the hierarchy and the number of the clusters is determined by the algorithm. The algorithm creates the classification scheme, and indexes the papers by the created classification;
* The classification is used to index the new papers. We plan to rebuild the classification scheme regularly. In this way, we will take into account that appearance of new papers may lead to emergence of new themes. Detection of new themes is one of our objectives;
* A number of extra attributes (e.g. Theme name, Authority and Review Articles, etc.) for the elements (themes) of the classification (see Help);
* Accessability of the classification in response to search requests via display options, e.g., display as Tree of Themes, and Refrerence (Citation) Tree.
About 10% of papers from arxiv are missed in our database. We work on decreasing this number.

Why ‡biblios?
A rich internet application
Though browser-based, ‡biblios has a very rich user interface and takes advantage of JavaScript toolkits like YUI, ExtJS, Google Gears for local storage of bibliographic records.
Built-in metasearch
Much of cataloging consists of copy-cataloging and so ‡biblios ships with built-in metasearch capability using a web services layer built on the Pazpar2 federated search library. Users can set up and perform cross-database searches on any Z39.50 targets.
Built around library standards
The ‡biblios record editor currently supports MARC21/MARCXML records and utilizes a plugin architecture to easily allow expansion to other formats such as MODS, Dublin Core, etc.
Library Standards Compliant
Built in support for MARC21, MARCXML, Z39.50
Free and Open Source
‡biblios is available under the terms of the GPL software license, which ensures free and open access to use, modification and redistribution.
