| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 社會教育學系在職進修碩士班 === 94 === Since 1990, the rapid growth of electronic resources, the diverse form of information media and the quick change of users’ information searching behavior, the issue of interoperability was initially taken into account and the Integrated Searching Systems were also starting to grow. The importance of decision making on Integrated Searching Systems was increasingly higher for library with budget decreased by year.
In this thesis, we focus on the technology of how Integrated Searching Systems are operated. This research would help libraries to make the decision which system
will be chosen. This research would also help us to grasp the progress for the use of Integrated Searching Systems in Taiwan. By taking five systems (MetaFind, SmartWeaver, HySearch, MuseSearch and MetaLib/ SFX ) and using three methods (literature review method, in-depth interview and empirical methodology), we analyze the Integrated Searching System related topics and literatures. The guideline of the estimated system is suitable for verifying in the real system.
The conclusions of literature review methods, in-depth interviews and estimated results of five Integrated Searching Systems were summarized as follows:
1. The beginner is targeted by most of the Integrated Searching Systems.
2. Federated search, Protocol, Knowledge Base, OpenURL Linking Services, Customization and personalization, authentication and Usage statistics should be the basic functions of Integrated Searching Systems at the present.
3. The standards of Information Organization like MARC, Dublin Core and AACR etc. and the standard of information exchange protocol like Z39.50, OAI-PMH and OpenURL etc. are the present system technology.
4. There are some arguments between supplier and users against the management efficiency of library resources by Integrated Searching Systems.
5. The suppliers and users agree with Integrated Searching Systems could bring the new chance for the information service of library and the instruction of resource usage.
6. The standard of the protocol is the tool and base for the communication among Integrated Searching Systems.
Base on the spirit of transparent information access, the author suggests the complete personal information index service build-up, the standard system protocol,
the increase of the precision index results and the development of the integrated system services. These elements would comprise the complete Integrated Searching
System.
