摘要： We introduce a method for measuring the quantity of online content of a set of languages at domain level. This measurement is used for building a Multi-Lingual Information Retrieval (MLIR) system that identifies which languages are strongly represented on the internet about a specific query topic. The system architecture includes two modules;the off-line module builds a linguistic diversity index for languages at topic level and the on-line module, where the suitable language for search is identified based the index for retrieving the relevant documents to the user query in that language. The conducted experiments explore the usefulness of building such an index and its usage effect on both of monolingual and traditional MLIR system. From the obtained results, it has been proven that the more internet resources, the better the accuracy of the retrieved results, and therefore the better the system performance.

摘要： Background Many people receiving palliative care wish to die at home. Often, support from family or friends is key to ensuring that this wish is fulfilled. However, carers report feeling underprepared to undertake this role. This paper describes the process of developing a consensus and evidence based website to provide core information to help people support someone receiving palliative care on the island of Ireland. Methods The project comprised three phases: (1) a review of systematic reviews facilitated the identification of core information needs;(2) content was developed in collaboration with a Virtual Reference Group (VRG) comprising patients, carers and professionals;and, (3) subject experts within the project team worked with a web developer to precis the agreed content and ensure it was in a format that was appropriate for a website. Members of the VRG were then invited to test and approve the website before it was made available to the general public. Results Nineteen systematic reviews identified nine consensus areas of core information required by carers;a description of palliative care;prognosis and treatment of the condition;medication and pain management;personal care;specialist equipment;locally available support services;what to do in an emergency;nutrition;and, support for the carer. This information was shared with the VRG and used to develop website content. Conclusions We engaged with service users and professionals to develop an evidence-based website addressing the agreed core information needs of non-professional carers who wish to provide palliative care to a friend or relative.

摘要： Purpose: Information resources and services are considered tangible assets which are valuable in decision making. Information can fulfill this function only if it is delivered via effective marketing at the end users’ doorsteps. The evolution of ICT, social media in particular, has created changes in all productive sectors and service-oriented organizations such as libraries. As well as discussing the need and use of social media by libraries for marketing efforts, this paper focuses on understanding the myriad of security implications that may exist. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.
