Jessie HEY, Southampton University Library. Member of the Intelligence, Agents, Multimedia Group in the School of Electronics. Academic Scholarship and the Deep (or Invisible) Web.
Academics constantly need to keep up to date with the latest work for their research and their teaching. However, resource discovery has become a complex task in a hybrid world of paper and digital libraries. Various techniques have been tried to make this easier. When Google becomes a search engine of choice many valuable resources lie behind a barrier that we think of as the invisible web. We describe experiments with a global information gathering agent, combining agent technologies and information management skills, to make visible these hybrid resources. We then discuss an alternative approach stimulated by the Open Archives Initiative in which academic e-Print archives become harvested by global search services.
Biography: Dr. Jessie Hey has worked in information management for many years at the interface of computers and users and has taught courses on Human Computer Interaction and many workshops on the electronic/digital library. She has a Physics degree from Oxford, a postgraduate Certificate of Education, and Diploma in Library and Information Studies. She is a Chartered Librarian (MCLIP) and Member of the ACM.
Besides spells at Caltech in Pasadena and CERN in Geneva, she worked in the UK in a variety of posts in higher, further and primary education. She was Manager of Technical Information Services at IBM's UK Research Labs for some years where she also set up an interactive learning centre. At Southampton University Library she supported Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Science users and is now working on the UK funded TARDis e-Prints repository project. A member of the Intelligence, Agents, Multimedia Group in the School of Electronics and Computer Science, she has previously worked on digital and 'hybrid' library projects such as ERCOMS and MALIBU. She completed a PhD in Resource Discovery In Digital Libraries last year and maintains a wide interest in digital libraries and scholarly communication issues as we move towards the Semantic Web.

Talks
Jessie Hey just came from DublinCore 2003.
She's a "hybrarian" -- the hybrid library.
Even though there is not total satisfaction with search engines, researchers make do and get a lot done.
IAM is a leading group in this area.
visible web vs deep/invisible web
the humanities staff/faculty really use the card catalogues.
Librarians and faculty together develop profiles of interests (mapped to resources and archives). That helped researchers see sources that they often did not know about before.
Questions
What is socionics?
