Abstract Details

2002, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Science.
The number and diversity of information sources on the Internet is increasing rapidly.With such an embarrassment of riches, a person who wishes to use the Internet as an information resource is going to need some assistance. Current search tools are inadequate in the sense that they cannot use multiple information sources in concert nor can they index the hundreds of billions of highly valuable documents "hidden" in proprietary databases. It is the goal of this thesis to provide a set of integrated tools based on individual users requirements, and we focus on an application specific search of the resources at the University of Cincinnati library. We created a Software Tool for the Windows operating systems platform called "UC Library ToolBar" which provides a simple interface for searching not only the information on the web indexed by the search engines but also the information available in the databases to the Faculty/Student of the University of Cincinnati. For purpose of integration with existing browser software we choose the popular Microsoft IE platform. This led us to research and develop on Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) using ActiveX Template Library.
