The Decomate II Current Awareness Service
Ferrán Jorba · E-LIS Repository (University of Naples Federico II) · 2000
The Decomate II Current Awareness Service is an extension of the standard search services of the system. This means that any of the Z39.50 databases available from Decomate II can be queried to extract new records that match the users interest profiles. This represents an interesting challenge, as the characteristics (fields and indexes) of those implementations are diverse. In this paper we will see how users can manage their profiles, how the results are presented on screen and also how Decomate II CAS implements different search strategies to extract new additions to the databases without getting any privileged access to them.
