8 August 2001ALIA Untangling the Web 8/8/ The solution? Do not go seeking the holy grail There are many solutions The trick is to develop a package of cost effective solutions

8 August 2001ALIA Untangling the Web 8/8/ Current solutions at UQ Library catalogue: –1 million records (all formats) –7,800 ejournals and databases –3,300 websites and ebooks Database gateway (500) Electronic journal gateway (7,300) Virtual reference collection FindIts (subject pathfinders) Subject gateways: –AVEL (lead site) –Weblaw (lead site) –ALEG –Agrigate –Metachem –Australian Digital Theses

8 August 2001ALIA Untangling the Web 8/8/ What’s a subject gateway? “An Internet accessible collection of descriptions and location details for a range of information, generally available electronically, organised by subject or discipline, and selected for inclusion based on a published set of quality criteria” [Debbie Campbell] “… provides searchable and browsable access to online resources focused around a specific subject. Subject gateway resource descriptions are usually created manually rather than being generated via an automated process. Because the resource entries are generated by hand they are usually superior to those available from a conventional web search engine.” [Imesh]

8 August 2001ALIA Untangling the Web 8/8/ Other terms for subject gateway Internet gateway Web gateway Gateway Internet resource catalogue Vortal Hubs – collection of gateways

8 August 2001ALIA Untangling the Web 8/8/ Why AVEL? no Australasian-based, user-centred comprehensive source of engineering & IT information on the Web lack of awareness amongst researchers about what is available lack of knowledge, skills and time to find relevant & quality information efficiently difficulty in keeping up-to-date in rapidly developing areas building national, regional and global R&D networks between universities, industry and research establishments being a partner in a global network of WWW gateways to engineering and information technology (IT) resources
