In this paper we study how to effectively integrate digital campus resources through a heterogeneous data integration algorithm. A framework of heterogeneous data integration based on working process design is proposed. In the proposed framework, in order to integrate different data resources, we call on the corresponding local Web service query exploiting XML documents. Then XML based Heteroge...

The Web is one of the most important information media and it is influencing in the development of other media, as for example, newspapers, journals, books, libraries, etc. Moreover, in recent days people want to communicate and collaborate. So, libraries must develop services for connecting people together in information environments. Then, the library staff needs automatic techniques to facil...

As more information resources become accessible using computers, our digital interfaces to those resources need to be appropriate for all people. However when it comes to digital libraries, the interfaces have typically been designed for older children or adults. Therefore, we have begun to develop a digital library interface developmentally appropriate for young children (ages 5-10 years old)....

In recent years, the development of information technologies and network distributions has brought about the creation of useful learning resources, one of which is the e-learning environment. With its promise of ease and ready accessibility, e-learning, a term generally used to refer to computer-aided learning, is fast becoming ubiquitous in educational institutes. In terms of enhancing the onl...

Although the Internet is still primarily an information resource, there is increasing emphasis on its instructional potential. Practitioners can receive Internet-based information and education from a variety of sources around the world. However, they must learn to assess this information and to assimilate it into knowledge that will help them in their practices. They must also be given the opp...

After many years building the foundation of the digital library, information retrieval has emerged from its roots in bibliographic retrieval to establish its role in hypertext and Web applications. We are now in the midst of a “seismic” shift of digital content and context from the global repository [i.e., memex (Bush, 1945)] through docuverse (Nelson, 1981) to the global resource. From a repos...
