- (This presentation is part of the DLIST environmental scan panel. This part concentrates on what is happening in the commercial search engine world and the various information services they offer. Many trends and concepts shown in the commercial world apply to the library world. The author intentionally stayed away from the “library” perspective in this presentation, not only because the next speaker will focus on library in the new digital age, but also the author believes in the interdisciplinary approaches and the fact that many time solutions and true innovations come from other fields.) Information Services Overview Information service provided by libraries and search engines New technologies and revenue models being tested by search firms Along with fresh promises of personalized ad-delivery through contextual placement Google now fuels approximately 48% of all search traffic, with the bulk of the remainder split between Yahoo and MSN , both of which are currently fed by Inktomi. (Please note: Yahoo will be moving away from Inktomi in mid-April in favour of their own paid-inclusion database.)
- The booming of these new websites shows a few trends in information services: Blogger.com: e-publishing, distributed authorship. MySpace.com: virtual community, shared content. Wikipidia.org: distributyed authorship; blurred line between author and audience, speaker and listener. Citysearch.com: localized content. Whitepages.com: localized content. If the library community thinks search engine is not their business (Google, Yahoo, etc.), these newly boomed sites offer more “library” type services.
