"The first printed catalog of this library appeared in 1927 as the Library Catalog, 1927. The General Service Schools -- Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; it comprised all books and documents in the library on 30 June of that year. The present 1929 Supplement is the first continuation and contains all additional library material accessioned to 30 June 1929."-- page iii. ; Mode of access: Internet.

Traditionally, in most digital library environments, the discovery of resources takes place mostly through the harvesting and indexing of the metadata content. Such search and retrieval services provide very effective ways for persons to find items of interest but lacks the ability to lead users looking for potential related resources or to make more complex queries. In contrast, modern web information management techniques related to Semantic Web, a new form of the Web, encourages institutions, including libraries, to collect, link and share their data across the web in order to ease its processing by machines and humans offering better queries and results increasing the visibility and interoperability of the data. Linked Data technologies enable connecting related data across the Web using the principles and recommendations set out by Tim Berners-Lee in 2006, resulting on the use of URIs (Uniform Resource Identifier) as identifiers for objects, and the use of RDF (Resource Description Framework) for links representation. Today, libraries are giving increasing importance to the Semantic Web in a variety of ways like creating metadata models and publishing Linked Data from authority files, bibliographic catalogs, digital projects information or crowdsourced information from another projects like Wikipedia. This paper reports a process for publishing library metadata on the Web using Linked Data technologies. The proposed process was applied for extracting metadata from a university library, representing them in RDF format and publishing them using a Sparql endpoint (an interface to a knowledge database). The library metadata from a subject were linked to external sources such us another libraries and then related to the bibliography from syllabus of the courses in order to discover missing subjects and new or out of date bibliography. In this process, the use of open standards facilitates the exploitation of knowledge from libraries. ; This research has been partially supported by the Prometeo project by SENESCYT, Ecuadorian Government, by CEDIA (Consorcio Ecuatoriano para el Desarrollo de Internet Avanzado) supporting the project: "Platform for publishing library bibliographic resources using Linked Data technologies" and by the project GEODAS-BI (TIN2012-37493-C03-03) supported by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain (MINECO).

Valuable to both the health professional and information provider, this book provides a comprehensive and detailed look at online biomedical database searching by end users. Experts fully assess the numerous implications of end user searching and synthesize a wide variety of views and successful practices. By examining the types of users, institutional settings, products used, and applications, this important volume probes the specific variations among programs and provides a solid overview of end user searching in the health science field. The volume includes informative chapters on determini

This study attempted to explain the concept of users' education in the 21st Century, the objectives, importance and benefit of users' education as only means of making users' to recognized library as a primary source of Information. It attempted to explain the roles of digital libraries, the objectives and importance of digital libraries as way by which the libraries can be transformed in order to remain relevant and function properly in the 21st century. The study concluded that library staff and Librarians of the 21st century must be an expert and skillful in their professional job so that they can provide users' education extensively. There is a recommendation that Government should implement National policy related to the library, training and re-training of librarians and library staffs in order for them to keep fit and relevant in the 21st century. Finally, librarians of the 21st century should be more focused on digital or virtual libraries to remain relevant in the area of information management.
