  3. While You Savor the Lunch, Allow Me • To give credit to past pioneers like Roger Summit of DIALOG for ONESearching & RANKing • To tip the hat to some of the most widely used federated search engines and clustering tools • To salute some who offer INTRA-system metasearching of in-house and domesticated, prepped databases + clustering • To appreciate the synergy of federated searching and clustering by multiple elements (Central Search) • To guess what the future will look like Jacso

  4. Yes, Pat, there has been multi-searching and clustering since the 1980s Jacso

  5. RANKing Jacso

  6. DIALINDEX for a Scoreboard Jacso

  7. CLUSTERING THE SET BY Journal Name Jacso

  8. CLUSTERING THE SET BY descriptors Jacso

  9. CLUSTERING THE SET BY author Jacso

  10. CLUSTERING THE SET BY year Jacso

  11. Some of the federated, meta- and polysearch engines Jacso

  12. A Light Clustering Toolbar Jacso

  13. A Tad Too Narrow Source Base Jacso

  28. FEEL THEIR PAIN Intra-system metasearching of in-house & hosted, domesticated databases with clustering is easier than … ……to federate from diverse, disparate, deviant sources and to cluster the uncontrolled, inconsistent format and content of author names, journal names, descriptors The aggravation of aggregation Herding cats and faculty on short notice looks easy Jacso

  29. PolyMeta open access sources Jacso

  30. Subject-only clustering, but many other bonuses Jacso

  31. Meet Dr. Tamás Doszkocs and his ToxSeek PolyMeta engine at NLM Jacso

  32. Jacso

  33. My customized version for testing & teaching purposes Jacso

  34. And Now ….. Central SearchMany databases federated andmany results clustered by many criteria Jacso

  35. Several ProQuest databases in cluster Jacso

  36. Several Ebsco databases in cluster Jacso

  37. Mixture of hits from different databases Jacso

  38. Clustered sources Jacso

  39. Results sorted by date Jacso

  40. Number of duplicates from different sources may indicate clout of journal, or just re-purposing Jacso
