Abstract: The modern world of search engines, online bookstores, portals of publishing houses and open archives is a big challenge for traditional libraries. These services caused a new specific user behaviour and claims. A text must be found easily and quickly, it must be available electronically and always be free (at least for university members). For paper documents this could be provided for local users, but the internet provides these services without limits. This is a big challenge for the function “library”. Considerable efforts will be necessary to protect the “institution” library. Search technologies are key. In summer 2005, a retrieval…experiment was made with 75 students at two universities. They were searching for 295 scientific media in traditional library catalogues, in a traditional library catalog with rich catalog enrichment, in Google Scholar and in dandelon.com.

Abstract: Since the summer of 2004 AGI and DGI (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Informationswissenschaft und –praxis) are providing the “Portal Information Science”. It indexes tables of contents of books, articles and websites. The portal is based on AGI's capturing and automatic indexing program intelligentCAPTURE, the semantic retrieval engine intelligentSEARCH and semantic resources in IC INDEX. The content is processed by students from the FH Burgenland in Eisenstadt (Austria). The thesaurus InfoData of FH Potsdam (Germany) and a thesaurus of students of FH Cologne are integrated in searching.
Abstract: Modern scientists would rather use internet search engines to search new topics than go to library catalogues. Obviously the ease of use is and the availability of full text data are major arguments. Library catalogues contain bibliographic data only and very few indexing data. Table of contents are the primary source of recognizing relevance. By adding table of contents to library catalogues as searchable PDF, enhanced by AGI's automatic indexing technologies, the relevant content can be found speedily and the information required is visible on the screen for final selection.
