UNIT 10 MUDDIEST POINT:
After the lecture, I am wondering with various integrated systems on the rise if digital libraries will become more popular then traditional libraries as we move forward in the 21st century? Or, will it always act a supplement?

UNIT 11 READING NOTES: 11-22-2010
1) David Hawking , Web Search Engines: Part 1 and Part 2 IEEE Computer, June 2006.
This information is vital in understanding how to tackle various threats to the PC. As librarians, I am wonder if there is anything that we can do more then a simple virus scan. Are there ways we as information professionals we can contribute to the war on various trojans?
2) Shreeves, S. L., Habing, T. O., Hagedorn, K., & Young, J. A. (2005). Current developments and future trends for the OAI protocol for metadata harvesting. Library Trends, 53(4), 576-589: http://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/609/Shreeves_CurrentFutureTrends.pdf?sequence=2;
As diverse services increase, so will the importance of controlled vocabularies. My concern is whether controlled vocabulary will change as these services expan. These new technologies and structures might make things more difficult for catalogers to keep up with current trends.
3) MICHAEL K. BERGMAN, “The Deep Web: Surfacing Hidden Value” http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/07-01/bergman.html
I had no idea how much we are missing out when we conduct our searches via Google. If we can further undertand and implement Deep Web as librarians, we will be better able at expanding the services we provide for customers. Also, I think if we can teacher customers about Deep Web, they will be better able to find information for themselves; therefore, the librarian would act merely as a supplemental aid.

UNIT 8 MUDDIEST POINT:
During the lecture it was mentioned that while making a webpage the designer should identify themselves as the creator for authority purposes. What happens if the creator opts not to identify his or herself? Are there ethical guidelines for anonymous creators of websites?
