Indexing and Retrieval Systems on the Web Indexing and Retrieval Systems on the Web Digital Library

Abstract

The world wide web has become an undisputed and powerful medium to integrate multiple information sources and services on the part of the libraries, leading to continual development of new applications and services. Efficient implementation of existing services and an opportunity for delivering information to the desktop of remote and local users has become an immediate priority on the part of the libraries. Locally owned resources like the OPAC, locally hosted electronic journals and databases, alerting services like new additions and content pages, and integrating host of other services call for an unpretentious approach for successful information services. In this paper an effort has been made to study the functions of various indexing and retrieval tools available on the web for their understanding and experience with standard indexing practices facilitating accurate and efficient data retrieval leading to the abstraction of digital library.
