An operating assumption for the networked environment is that many different information systems need to interoperate for users to successfully discover and retrieve distributed resources. Meaningful interoperability is often elusive. In the library community, the Z39.50 standard protocol (ISO 23950/ANSI/NISO Z39.50) for information retrieval promised seamless and transparent networked access to library resources. Too often, the reality has not lived up to the promise. This paper discusses two efforts that offer solution paths to Z39.50 interoperability.

This paper presents the results of a survey of quality assurance (QA) practices within the field of web archiving. To understand current QA practices, the authors surveyed 54 institutions engaged in web archiving, which included national libraries, colleges and universities, and museums and art libraries.

This paper discusses instance based learning with automatic feature selection applied to word sense disambiguation.

This paper gives a descriptive sketch of the various structures of the Saanich dialect of North Straits Salish has to express attribution and to look at structures similar to those designated relative clauses in other Salishan languages from a cross-linguistic and pan-Salishan point of view.

This paper describes a close look at the distribution in constructions of the closed class of complex predicate forming stems in Klallam traditionally called 'auxiliaries.'

This paper from the 9th International Conference on Future Networks and Communications, FNC 2014 conference proceedings presents a low-cost indoor air quality monitoring wireless sensor network system developed using Arduino, XBee modules, and micro gas sensors.

Grant proposal submitted by the Texas Human Rights Foundation to the Live Oak Fund for Change requesting funding for a project that would challenge Texas Penal Code Section 21.06 as it is discriminatory towards LGBT people.

This paper describes an algorithm for open text shallow semantic parsing.

Copy of "David Mitchell and Descendants" originally written by Thomas Mitchell, Jr. The manuscript starts with David Mitchell, possibly a Revolutionary soldier, and details what is known about his life and those of his descendants. The record ends with the marriage of his widow, Sarah Patterson Mitchell Frear, to Abraham Frear. It states that she was the mother and grandmother of many Frears and Mitchells in the family. After the record, there is a note about the original manuscript's author; it was then copied by Ora Osterhout.

This paper provides a more detailed description of the major processes affecting the Klallam vowels.

This paper presents the various transitive and intransitive paradigms of Klallam to make this data and grammatical information available preliminary to a thorough descriptive treatment.

This paper introduces several extractive approaches for automatic image tagging, relying exclusively on information mined from texts. Through evaluations on two datasets, the authors show that their methods exceed competitive baselines by a large margin, and compare favorably with the state-of-the-art that uses both textual and image features.
