Abbreviated Abstracts for Digital Libraries

Posted on/at 11:17 PM by Elijah Anderson

Can you imagine all the digital libraries in the world with every single white paper and research paper ever created in the history of mankind? Imagine a wealth of information at your fingertips and while you are imagining this consider that many colleges and universities are doing just that and all this is often able to be gotten from the web and brings people to the websites of the University�s digital libraries.

As more and more colleges and Universities sync their research into one, it is becoming easier and easier to quickly collaborate around the world you see. But if you do not know exactly what you're looking for it might be hard to search through the search features of all the Digital libraries to make sure that your query gives you the proper results.

It seems to me that all digital library white papers should have an additional shortened abstract and set of keywords that are submitted by the maker of the paper and perhaps put at the very end of the white paper as to not clutter it up, but where the search feature will find it. I believe this gives a much better chance of the user of the search feature of any type being able to find the information they need. This will speed up research and allow the human race to share information faster. Consider this in 2006.
