Investigation on Full-Text Databases Cited in LIS
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Aim: The main objective of this research was to investigate the use of full-text databases in the LIS theses of Tehran State Universities within the years 2005 and 2009. Method: For this purpose, the total of 9952 citations related to 172 existing theses in the academic central libraries were studied. The data collected were analyzed by the bibliometrics and citation analysis methods. Results: The results showed that only 499 (5.01%) out of the total of 9952 citations were of full-text databases. By the use of Bradford law, the Emerald, Iran Doc. Pro Quest and Science Direct were chosen as the core databases in LIS. There was no statistically significance difference in the use of full-text databases with regard to database, university and subject. Citing the linguistic distribution of full-text data showed that most citations were in English language. Finally, the amount of the use of full-text databases by the theses has not been increased between the years 2005 and 2009. Conclusion: The results obtained in the present research showed that the use of databases was very low and no growing trend for citing databases did show. Also English language was Dominant language in citing databases

Fuzzy Full-Text Searches in OCR Databases
Though the quality of optical character recognition software is steadily improving, it is still far from being perfect. As a result, full-text databases that are lled by means of OCR software contain many errors. These errors have to be taken into consideration if such kind of databases are examined by means of full-text searches. In this chapter, we will illustrate some of the possible methods...

This project applies expert system technology to the task of searching online collections of documents . We are developing an intelligent search intermediary to help end-users locate relevant passages in large fulltext databases. Our expert system will automatically reformulate conte.xtual Boolean queries to improve search results and will present re~rieved passages in decreasing order of relev...
full textFull-Text Search Engines for Databases
Current databases are able to store several Tbytes of free-text documents. The main purpose of a database from the user’s viewpoint is the efficient information retrieval. In the case of textual data, information retrieval mostly concerns the selection and the ranking of documents. The selection criteria can contain elements that apply to the content or the grammar of the language. In the tradi...
full textAn Extended Model for Full Text Databases
Query languages of full text retrieval systems are based on several assumptions about the input text. Many systems assume that the input has some basic structure (say, documents and words) which restricts the application domain. Others only allow to retrieve documents and not text positions. We address these problems and we propose an extended model for text, and a query language based on it. T...

This paper examines aspects of journal articles published from 1967 to 2008, located in eight databases, and authored or co-authored by academics serving for at least two years in Australian LIS programs from 1959 to 2008. These aspects are: inclusion of publications in databases, publications in journals, authorship characteristics of publications, productivity, and subject content of publicat...
full textExploration of Full-text Databases with Self-organizing Maps
Availability of large full-text document collections in electronic form has created a need for intelligent information retrieval techniques. Especially the expanding World Wide Web presupposes methods for systematic exploration of miscellaneous document collections. In this paper we introduce a new method, the WEBSOM, for this task. Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) are used to represent documents on...
