"TO GOOGLE OR NOT TO GOOGLE?"
Friday, June 17, 2005

University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN

Join us for a day-long regional ASIS&T program, sponsored by the
Indiana, Michigan, and Chicago chapters and hosted by the University
Libraries of Notre Dame! 


*** Program Abstract ***
John P. Wilkin of the University of Michigan will explain the UM-Google
digitization deal: what it is, how they got there, and what it will mean
for the University of Michigan. Edward J. Valauskas of Dominican
University will tell us about his research on search engines and how
they use - or don't use - metadata. And Pascal V. Calarco, Aaron Bales,
and Tom Lehman from the University of Notre Dame will outline their
recent usability testing and redesign to improve the usability and
usefulness of the library catalog, targeted to undergraduate populations
who are more comfortable using Google for their information needs.
