Elegant Solution

Frustrated by the time-consuming process of updating subject Web pages, librarians at Samford University Library (SUL) developed a process for streamlining updates using Server-Side Include (SST) commands. They created text files on the library server that corresponded to each of 143 online resources. Include commands within the HTML document for each subject page refer to these text files, which are pulled into the page as it loads on the user's browser. For the user, the process is seamless. For librarians, time spent in updating Web pages is greatly reduced; changes to text files on the server result in simultaneous changes to the edited resources across the library's Web site. For small libraries with limited online resources, this process may provide an elegant solution to an ongoing problem.

The aim of this contribution is to show how the information, concerning the order in which the pages of a Web site are visited, can be profitably used to predict the visit behaviour at the site. Usually every click corresponds to the visualization of a Web page. Thus, a Web clickstream defines the sequence of the Web pages requested by a user. Such a sequence identifies a user session.

Search engines use crawlers to traverse the Web in order to download web pages and build their indexes. Maintaining these indexes up-to-date is an essential task to ensure the quality of search results. However, changes in web pages are unpredictable. Identifying the moment when a web page changes as soon as possible and with minimal computational cost is a major challenge. In this article we present the Web Change Detection system that, in a best case scenario, is capable to detect, almost in real time, when a web page changes. In a worst case scenario, it will require, on average, 12 minutes to detect a change on a low PageRank web site and about one minute on a web site with high PageRank. Meanwhile, current search engines require more than a day, on average, to detect a modification in a web page (in both cases).

The change in the behavior of internet users from using computers or laptops to mobile internet users makes changes in the way the browser and also the web pages display information. Internet users generally want a quick access time when visiting a website page to get the desired information. In the research conducted in the writing of this journal, the researchers wanted to show and explain the several important factors that influence the speed of access from a website page, as well as analyzing based on technical factors. Where the main discussion in this study will focus more on the evaluation of technical factors starting from the programming side (server side programming and client side programming) and also the design of the user interface using web pages using minify CSS along with the use of AJAX technology. The results to be achieved from this study are to identify how much influence the technical factors mentioned above have on the speed of visitor access to a web page, apart from other technical factors such as internet network speed, devices and areas where users can access website page.

With the growing size of academic library Web sites, constant updating, authentication issues, and organization are increasingly difficult for libraries to maintain user-friendly sites. This usability study examines how students use electronic research libraries such as Questia, which has been designed to replace traditional libraries and compare it with large university library Web sites. Students were asked to perform tasks at two electronic research library sites and then at two large university library Web sites. Major implications of this study are that design features incorporated by Web site designers can drastically affect the success of students doing research.

Recommendation systems are growing very rapidly. While surfing, users frequently miss the goal of their search and lost in information overload problem. To overcome this information overload problem, the authors have proposed a novel web page recommendation system to save surfing time of user. The users are analyzed when they surf through a particular web site. Authors have used relationship matrix and frequency matrix for effectively finding the connectivity among the web pages of similar users. These webpages are divided into various clusters using enhanced graph based partitioning concept. Authors classify active users more accurately to found clusters. Threshold values are used in both clustering and classification stages for more appropriate results. Experimental results show that authors get around 61% accuracy, 37% coverage and 46% F1 measure. It helps in improved surfing experience of users.

Initial Layout

Personification of the present disclosure can be viewed as providing methods for creating a web site. In this respect, one embodiment includes the following steps: receiving a choice of a design template to be used in creating the website, the design template providing an initial layout for pages of the website and recommended content, rendering for display a representation of the website from the design template in a development environment, wherein the representation provides controls for editing content and layout of the website representation and the rendering produces HTML files that are displayed to a user and enabling the user to edit design features of the website based upon a rendered view of the website in the development environment, a presently displayed representation of a web page having editing tools embedded in the web page. Preferably, models conform to various types of web pages and other features that are typically found or visible on websites. There may be different options for each feature. The innovation is to provide a platform for making it easy to build websites and pages based on stored templates that enable the website and pages to be modified and configured without the user needing to write any software code

The Hawaiian Native Plant Propagation Web Site (http://pdcs.ctahr.hawaii.edu:591/hawnprop) is a collection of organized propagation information for selected Hawaiian indigenous and endemic plants. It was designed to provide easy access to this information for university extension personnel, researchers, students, conservationists, and nursery and landscape professionals. Journals and newsletters published in Hawaii provided the most relevant data for this Web site. The first prototype was a database-driven Web site that provided sophisticated search capability and dynamically generated Web pages for each plant record. Subsequent testing of the prototype identified a number of usability problems. These problems were corrected by redesigning the Web site using a hybrid databasestatic Web page approach. The database software search features are retained, but each database record is linked to a static Web page containing the propagation information for a specific plant.

The development of the Internet has changed a purely text-based environment with relatively simple presentation features to one driven by graphics and multimedia (including complex scripting). This development has presented many difficulties for those computer users with disabilities ranging from congenital causes, aging, or injury. Web accessibility is related to usability, or the design of Web pages that can be used by as many computer users as possible, and Web accessibility refers to designing a Web page “so that more people can use...[a] web site effectively in more situations” (Thatcher et al., 2002, p. 13). “... The objective is to make the world directly usable by as many people (with and without disabilities) as possible.” (Vanderheiden, 2003).
