  • h-index
    ``The h-index can be manually determined using free Internet databases, such as Google Scholar. Subscription-based databases such as Scopus and the Web of Knowledge provide automated calculators. Each database is likely to produce a different h for the same scholar, because of different coverage in each DB: Google Scholar has more citations than Scopus and Web of Science but each of their smaller citation collections tends to be more accurate.``
    ``The h-index does not consider the context of citations. For example, citations in a paper are often made simply to flesh-out an introduction, otherwise having no other significance to the work. h also does not resolve other contextual instances: citations made in a negative context and citations made to fraudulent or retracted work. (This is true for other metrics using citations, not just for the h-index.)``

Digital Searching to Digital Reading
presentation at LITA session at American Library Association conference, Chicago 2005.
Everything Digital

"every child can stretch a hand across a keyboard and reach every book ever written, every painting ever painted, every symphony ever composed." -- Bill Clinton's State of the Union message, January 1998.

Similarly: H. G. Wells, World Brain, "There is no practical obstacle whatever now to the creation of an efficient index to all human knowledge, ideas and achievements, to the creation, that is, of a complete planetary memory for all mankind."

"If the human race has produced since the invention of movable type a total record, in the form of magazines, newspapers, books, tracts, advertising blurbs, correspondence, having a volume corresponding to a billion books, the whole affair, assembled and compressed, could be lugged off in a moving van." -- Vannevar Bush, As We May Think.

Some think online reading is bad.

COMMENTARY Google and God's Mind
The problem is, information isn't knowledge.

(by Michael Gorman, president-elect of the American Library Association).

``The nub of the matter lies in the distinction between information (data, facts, images, quotes and brief texts that can be used out of context) and recorded knowledge (the cumulative exposition found in scholarly and literary texts and in popular nonfiction).
When it comes to information, a snippet from Page 142 might be useful. When it comes to recorded knowledge, a snippet from Page 142 must be understood in the light of pages 1 through 141 or the text was not worth writing and publishing in the first place.``

From the Los Angeles Times.... (December 17, 2004)

Shneiderman & Marchionini 1988

"Today's electronic retrieval systems . . . focus on coding, indexing, and cross-referencing (organization for retrieval) rather than on meaning, readability, and assimilation (organization for understanding)."

This was before the Web, but it was part of an argument for hypertext (specifically Hyperties).

Shneiderman has always argued for context, for systems that help people understand where they are in a task.

Conclusion

Large collections are coming (whether they will help quality is doubtful, but they will contain a lot of new information).

We need an interface oriented towards large books.
We still haven't explored the selection of materials in context.
We also need ways of judging bias, genre, . . .

And mostly we need to measure utility.

Note that Michael Lesk is as context-sensitive as Michael Gorman, Ben Shneiderman, and perhaps Raj Reddy, formerly the Herbert A. Simon University Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who was supervised by John McCarthy at Stanford University.

  • ``Commenting on my Google Library vs. Publishers piece, George Dyson sent me this great piece from HG Wells. I already reposted it to the comments on that blog, but this is enough of a relevant historical artifact that it deserves its own top level posting. (As always, George does an amazing job of reminding us all of how many of the ideas we are wrestling with are not new, just because we finally have the technology to realize them.)``
