Presents ...

Mining the Web:
Bringing Control to Chaos

Program:

There are approximately one billion Web pages that can be searched by the traditional search engines, but it has been estimated that in the "deep" Web there may be 550 billion documents! Search engines vary in their ability to discover relevant resources, none provide any evaluative information. How can Libraries participate in bringing control to this chaotic explosion of information? Our program will present 2 approaches to enhancing resource discovery on the Web: Valerie Bross & Angela Riggio will discuss the CORC initiative; Margaret Mooney will present Infomine. At the end of the day Michael Gorman, always provocative, will present his views on the Internet with a talk titled "Choosing & cataloging the best of the Web."
