| contents | Examining Search Functions of EAD Finding Aids Web Sites Zhou, Xiaomu Web Sites Search Engines Online Searching Search Strategies Navigation (Information Systems) Computer System Design Computer Software Evaluation Standards Metadata Archives Content Analysis Information Technology This article examined the search functions for all individual EAD Web sites listed on the Library of Congress Web site in 2003. In particular, the type of search engine, search modes, options for searching, search results display, search feedback, and other features of the search systems were studied. The data analysis suggests that there have been some improvements for EAD finding aids within Web sites, but also that problems persist. In addition, the functionality of search systems on Web sites varied considerably and the advantages of EAD finding aids for hierarchical searching have not been fully realized. The article also offers observations about cooperative EAD projects, the issue of search queries, and the relationship between Google and EAD Web sites. (Contains 15 notes, 2 tables, and 3 figures.) |
