Wilfrid Lancaster has earned a reputation for greatness in the evaluation of information storage and retrieval systems. Many of his extensive contributions stem from his early experience with the National Library of Medicine (NLM) MEDLARS system. His evaluation of the MEDLARS Demand Search Service in 1966 and 1967 was an important landmark as one of the earliest evaluations of a computer-based retrieval system and as the first application of recall and precision measures in a large, operational database setting. In 1971, his evaluation of the MEDLARS AIM-TWX system was an important study of early online systems and their direct use by end users. This paper summarizes Lancaster's two major evaluations of the MEDLARS system, including the information environment at the time and their i...
Information storage and retrieval systems that use optical scanner and CD-ROM technology should meet the requirements of the law of evidence if controls and procedures are developed for the proper storage and reproduction of information. Case law authority exists for the use of microfilm and photocopies in court, but the law is silent on documents that have been stored via optical scanners and retrieved from related computer storage. Standards as to resolution quality and alteration prevention are likely to develop as such duplicates are used in a legal environment.
The major computer technology trends for the 1990s fall into areas that include microprocessor design and construction, parallel processing, and information storage and retrieval systems. As microprocessor technology has advanced, the processors have become smaller, permitting more transistors to be placed in the same area, and faster, resulting in more powerful computing. If processors continue to shrink, the central processing units containing them may disappear altogether. The processors may fit into a keyboard, monitor, or power plug. As parallel processing technology advances, more computing can be done in shorter periods of time. Disk arrays are an important development in information storage. They solve the pervasive problem of storage system failure by using a series of small, h...
