SUMS offers a new approach. start introduction >> 1. Goals Knowing why one is searching helps determine what one needs to find. ` The question Why gives limits to How, When, Where and especially Who and What. Click Access When entering SUMS step one is to choose one of ten Goals. Click Goal Suppose we choose Goal=Everyday In the larger SUMS vision there are 10 goals: Everyday, Emergency, Business, Education, Environment, Government, Health, Legal, Leisure, Religion Click Everyday Click Guided Choice Step two is to choose the Strategy level. Suppose we choose Goal=Everyday. In this case SUMS reverses the typical order of the six questions. Goal=Everyday corresponds to a first part of Why? To make this more precise SUMS asks Everyday with respect to what? What? Suppose we choose News Click News SUMS 1. Sources 2. Literature 3. Primary Literature 4. Secondary Literature 5. Both 6.

Suppose we choose Guided strategy. This has the same functions as the Direct Strategy except that it has guided text. Strategies 1 and 2 focus on a single term using the local database. Goals In the full-blown system the computer will “know” where it is and adjust accordingly. SUMS is like a Dewey decimal system using questions. Note that by limiting these choices to 10 at a time it can be used on mobile devices. In future a mobile device can also serve as a remote control for larger displays. The main part of this demo focuses on Goal 4: Education (and Learning). To continue Strategy 1. Direct click
