中美WAP手机图书馆检索系统实证研究

An Empirical Study on Search Systems of WAP Mobile Libraries in China and the USA

通过对中美两国共7家WAP手机图书馆的检索系统进行调查,分别从检索功能、检索效果、用户负担三个方面分析两国手机图书馆检索系统的特点。调查结果指出,中美手机图书馆检索功能仍需加强,可借鉴主流搜索引擎进行完善;中美手机图书馆检索效果存在较大差距,查准率成主要影响因素;中美手机图书馆检索系统需加强用户友好度;国内手机图书馆检索系统发展水平参差不齐,可采取多种方案提高整体水平。最后,指出完善检索功能、优化检索效果、提高用户友好度成为手机图书馆发展面临的重要课题。
