About SirsiDynix Ingenuity wasn't born overnight. For more than 30 years, libraries have used SirsiDynix technologies to bring the power of their collections to their communities. Our story began when Northwestern University developed a system to automate its library card catalogs in the 1960s. Since then, we have been a committed partner to libraries around the world, employing technology that allows librarians to do more than just keep track of their collection. Today, more than 23,000 library facilities in more than 70 countries use our products and services to bring the power of knowledge and information to 300 million users worldwide. As stated in the American Library Association's 2010 State of America's Libraries Report, "The local library, a traditional source of free access to books, magazines, CDs and DVDs, has become a lifeline, offering technology training and workshops on topics that ranged from resume-writing to job-interview skills." Libraries today are more than buildings full of books.

Objectifs et élaboration de RDA Depuis 2013, à l'initiative de la Bibliothèque du Congrès, les États-Unis suivis d’un certain nombre de pays ont adopté un nouveau code de catalogage intitulé RDA (Resource Description and Access / Ressources : Description et Accès), qui met en application les Principes internationaux de catalogage et dont l’argument majeur repose sur la compatibilité avec les modèles FRBR et FRAD. Objectifs : s’adapter et s’ouvrir RDA se présente comme « une nouvelle norme pour la description des ressources et l’accès à celles-ci, conçue pour le monde numérique » (a world digital for resource description and access, designed for the digital world). Adaptation, ouverture et flexibilité constituent les trois caractéristiques essentielles de cette nouvelle norme. RDA et le monde numérique RDA permet de décrire les ressources numériques, avec leurs spécificités. Il permet la récupération automatique des métadonnées fournies par les créateurs ou les éditeurs des ressources. RDA, une norme de contenu
Searching the Web by Moira Allen Remember how long it used to take to find an obscure bit of information? First you drove to the library. Now you can achieve the same results in less than a minute, with the touch of a button. Defining Effective Search Terms The key is defining an effective search term (or set of terms). To accomplish this, your terms should be as specific as possible. Another approach is to determine what terminology an expert in the subject area would use. If you want to search on a specific term or phrase (more than one word in a specific order), put that phrase in quotation marks. In the "early days," search engines assumed that if you typed more than one word into the search box, you wanted "any" of the words rather than "all" of the words. One "Boolean operator," as those old "ands" are referred to, can still be used in your search, however: "Not." It's possible to refine a search even further by specifying where a term should be found. Keep in mind that search engines are specific.
