Managing serial subscriptions in an academic library

An Eecient Algorithm for Managing Query Subscriptions: Analysis and Experiments

In this paper, we present an eecient algorith that is the core of the query subscription system in an XML data warehouse. We conduct a formal and experimental analysis of the problem. Both concur and prove that the subscription system will be feasible when running on millions of subscriptions while processing thousands of documents per second. Cet article pr esente un algorithme eecace, qui con...

The academic health sciences library and serial selection.

A review of efforts to formulate basic medical journal lists and a report of a survey of subscriptions held in academic health science libraries is presented. The subscriptions held by thirty-seven libraries were analyzed to determine those held by 60-100% of the sample. A comparison of those titles subscribed to by 90-100% of the sample reveals that most of these titles appear in the lists for...

Managing Distributed Systems with Smart Subscriptions

We describe an event-based, publishand-subscribe system based on using “smart subscriptions” to recognize weakly structured events. We present a hierarchy of subscription languages (propositional, predicate, temporal and agent) of increasing expressability and computational complexity, and several algorithms (Sig, Memo, Lattice, Compile and RETE) for efficiently recognizing event matches. We ha...

GIS Collection Development within an Academic Library

Locating usable spatial data is essential for the application and use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS data collection development constitutes a core element of GIS services within academic libraries. Managers of geospatial resources require a fundamental understanding of the nature and use of GIS data. In the creation of a GIS collection development policy, library professionals sh...
