FUTURE USE:
Scaling the number of sources will require the support of the international science
community in several ways. The first role the community can play is to assist in the
identification of sources. No single individual or organization will be able to keep up with the
introduction of new sources; thus, those who have the most to gain from a comprehensive
science portal, the researchers, will benefit by identifying new resources for inclusion. A second
way the science community can support creation of a comprehensive science portal is to assess
sources already included in the portal as well as candidate sources. In order to facilitate the rating
of and commenting on sources, a social network framework is being planned. The third value
that the science community can provide is to create connectors for new sources.
CONCLUSION:
It’s said that only Librarians search and other find the information in Internet. Thus even
to find an article, document in the huge information traffic will help one to locate in a single
interface. As every librarian knows, the information marketplace is very volatile and dynamic.
We have witnessed an immediate impact in enhanced library services and increased the use of
subscribed and open access resources. Federated searching tool will effectively offer the
researchers to enter into numerous electronic sources in a single interface.
