(source: P. Bradley, 12/11/08)
"RefSeek.com is a web search engine for students and researchers. RefSeek aims to make academic information easily accessible to everyone. RefSeek searches more than one billion documents, including web pages, books, encyclopedias, journals, and newspapers. The interface is Google-like, and the results are fairly basic - title, summary, url, date with a 'search this site' option. There's also a 'narrow this search' option. They have a directory section for almanacs, dictonaries, health, news, quotations and so on. Boolean is supported, but not much else."

A Guide For the Perplexed: Libraries & the Google Library Project Settlement
(source: Association of Research Libraries)

"On October 28, 2008, Google, the Authors Guild, and the Association of American Publishers announced the settlement of the litigation concerning the Google Library Project. Under the project, Google has been scanning into its search database millions of books provided by major research libraries and other sources. For those books not in the public domain, the publishers and authors claimed that Google’s scanning infringed their copyrights. The settlement still requires the approval of the presiding judge in the US district court in New York because the case was brought as a class action on behalf of all affected rightsholders.
The settlement presents significant challenges and opportunities to libraries. This paper does not explore the policy issues raised by the settlement. Rather, it outlines the settlement’s provisions, with special emphasis on the provisions that apply directly to libraries. The settlement is extremely complex (over 200 pages long, including attachments), so this paper of necessity simplifies many of its details. This paper should not be treated as legal advice, and libraries considering joining the settlement should retain counsel to advise them on the settlement’s intricacies. Page references to the agreement are included in parentheses."

- Moteurs de recherche : des enjeux d'aujourd'hui aux moteurs de demain
(source: Olivier Ertzscheid / INRIA, sept. 08)
"Les moteurs de recherche occupent une place prépondérante dans nos accès à l'information et à la connaissance. Ils suscitent également de vives interrogations, notamment dans leur capacité à rendre indexable des informations relevant indistinctement des sphères publiques, privées et intimes des contenus disponibles en ligne. A l'heure où le modèle économique de ces outils semble stabilisé, nous nous efforcerons, au travers d'une mise en perspective de leurs principaux développements technologiques, d'une analyse des pratiques en recherche d'information, et d'un état de l'art des questionnements sociétaux actuels, de fournir quelques bases pour une analyse prospective de ce secteur. Une première partie s’attachera à décrire la constitution des moteurs de recherche tels que nous les connaissons aujourd’hui, comme autant de machines sociales. Dans un second point nous reviendrons sur les développements et directions actuellement les plus significatifs, permettant d’atteindre le graal d’une « recherche universelle ». Dans une troisième partie nous présenterons les enjeux qui, dès demain, seront déterminants pour les moteurs de recherche et la perception qu’ils nous renvoient du web."

(source: Abondance, 08/10/08)
"La recherche universelle prônée par Google, qui consiste à "injecter" dans les pages de résultats du moteur des données issues de sources diverses (actualité, images, vidéos, cartes, etc.) nous renseigne aujourd'hui encore un peu plus sur la stratégie de "portalisation" mise en place par le leader américain sur ses sites."

- Sometimes Google Isn't Enough: New Research Engine Searches "Deep Web"
(source: ReadWriteWeb, 18/09/08)
"What do you do when you need to research something on the web? You just google it, right? Using a web search engine like Google is usually fine for casual searches, but when you need to delve deep into a subject, it just won't do. What you really need is a research engine that explores the unindexed reaches of the Deep Web. For that, there's now Infovell, "the world's research engine.""

- Correlation of Expert and Search Engine Rankings
(déposé sur arXiv, 18/09/08)
"In previous research it has been shown that link-based web page metrics can be used to predict experts' assessment of quality. We are interested in a related question: do expert rankings of real-world entities correlate with search engine rankings of corresponding web resources? For example, each year US News & World Report publishes a list of (among others) top 50 graduate business schools. Does their expert ranking correlate with the search engine ranking of the URLs of those business schools? To answer this question we conducted 9 experiments using 8 expert rankings on a range of academic, athletic, financial and popular culture topics. We compared the expert rankings with the rankings in Google, Live Search (formerly MSN) and Yahoo (with list lengths of 10, 25, and 50). In 57 search engine vs. expert comparisons, only 1 strong and 4 moderate correlations were statistically significant. In 42 inter-search engine comparisons, only 2 strong and 4 moderate correlations were statistically significant. The correlations appeared to decrease with the size of the lists: the 3 strong correlations were for lists of 10, the 8 moderate correlations were for lists of 25, and no correlations were found for lists of 50."

"Two years have passed since Google startled the world with its free, online, high-resolution mapping products of the world. Foreign governments expressed their shock and concern about such detailed imagery in the hands of the general populace; their facilities and state secrets exposed to the world. “Today, with the advent of civilian satellites here and abroad, we have opened wide the window on places and events that, not so long ago, only spies could see,” writes Sharon Weinberger."
