ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThis presentation would not have been possible without the contributions of:
Stolen logos, plus the products we live by.
Especially the ENCompass Gateway Team, which designed the interface I will show you.

I CONTEND
ENCompass is a completely different kind of system than Voyager. The criteria we apply to judging the success of Voyager don’t work with ENCompass. It was created to “push the envelope” of library technology and it’s doing that. One consequence is that parts of it fail.

True to its name, ENCompass does lots of things.

ENCompass for Digital Collections has more in common with Voyager than ENCompass for Resource Access does. It is like an online digital library.

Purpose:Uses:
Users:
ENCompass for Resource Access differs from Voyager in lots of significant ways. It’s not designed for finding known items, but for discovering unknown resources.

CONNECTORSFederated Searching is built on the concept of connectors. ENCompass supports four kinds:
Voyager Z39.50 XML Gateways HSE Connectors

Howfamiliar toEndeavor?
Howreliable?

MISSION:DIFFICULTExtract Bibliographic Info from:
Books you published
Books others published
Journalarticles in non-Roman scripts
Newspaperarticles

MISSON:IMPOSSIBLEThe further away we get from books and journal articles, the harder it is to extract titles, authors, pagination, etc.

HSE CONNECTORS FAILHSE Connectors do their work by emulating a web user. They connect to web pages, read the HTML and try to interpret what they read. And some
programmer has to tell them how.You’d fail, too, if you had to do it.

THEY SHOULDN’T KEEP FAILING!Hopes:Z39.50 connections will get more
standard, broader and more robustXML Gateways will become more
common and more standardMore databases will support Z39.50, XML
Gateways or some future protocol“Backend portals” will become more
common (cleaner access for HSE Connectors)
HSE Connectors will be fixed and improved, and the technology will get better
