Worldwide Web

The World-Wide Web (W3) initiative is a practical project to bring a global information universe into existence using available technology. This article describes the aims, data model, and protocols needed to implement the “web”, and compares them with various contemporary systems.

Purpose
Digital libraries have the potential to offer unprecedented resources for supporting e‐learning. This paper addresses and discusses such aspects as what is meant by “e‐learning”, and how can it be supported by the library environment, the functionality of the digital library; and how e‐learning resources are included and organized in the digital library.
Design/methodology/approach

The paper explores the advantages of digital libraries for e‐learning and the types of learning that can be supported by digital libraries.
Findings

There is undoubtedly a keenness to use online information resources for research and teaching, but this seems to be matched by a lack of awareness of how best to integrate these resources into the e‐learning environment.

Originality/value
The paper provides a useful insight into the role and influence of digital libraries and online resources on e‐learning.

The purpose of this paper is to set forth a reliable and valid means of measuring online service quality based on a broad conceptual framework which integrates theory and conceptualization in customer service quality, information systems quality, and product
portfolio management, into online service quality. An ethnographic content analysis of 848 customer reviews of online banking services was employed to identify salient online service quality
dimensions. The most frequently cited online service quality attributes, along with literature review and personal interview results, were utilized to develop the survey questionnaire. Subsequent to the pre-test, a Web-based survey was undertaken to verify and test the online service quality model. A confirmatory factor analysis produced six key online service quality dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, competence, ease of use, security, and product portfolio. This paper includes a discussion of the managerial and theoretical implications of this online service quality model.

This paper develops a flexible methodology to analyze the effectiveness of different variables on various dependent variables which all are times series and especially shows how to use a time series regression on one of the most important and primary index (page views per visit) on
Google analytic and in conjunction it shows how to use the most suitable data to gain a more accurate result.

Search engine visitors have a variety of impact on page views which cannot be described by
single regression. On one hand referral visitors are well-fitted on linear regression with low
impact. On the other hand, direct visitors made a huge impact on page views. The higher
connection speed does not simply imply higher impact on page views and the content of web page and the territory of visitors can help connection speed to describe user behavior. Returning visitors have some similarities with direct visitors.

It is a truism that the information and communication technologies (ICT) have changed the way people engage in all aspects of their lives, including how the judiciary functions. The ICT applications adopted by the courts are varied including access to legal materials, high technology information and evidence display systems, electronic filing, foreign language translation, multimedia court records, information and evidence retrieval, audio conferencing, video conferencing and the public's access to court information via the worldwide web. Drawn from an ongoing research, this paper aims to highlight that the growing adoption of ICT by the courts in many jurisdictions in fact raises several issues of security risks. This paper begins by illustrating the concept of courtroom technology and the current technical applications available in the Malaysian courts. The examination of the emergence of non-legal risks closely connected to security and the legal risk raised by courtroom technology is mediated through the understanding of several basic security control requirements involving authentication, non-repudiation, confidentiality, data integrity and privacy encroachment. The paper contends that despite the common notion that law will always lag behind technology, the courts would need to understand these legal and non-legal security risks and manage them in the most efficient and effective manner if judicial business were to be continually advanced by the ICT.

Online community sites devoted to RPG Maker, inexpensive software for creating role playing video games, have emerged as spaces where young people are developing valuable competencies with digital media. This study examines the largest of these communities. The study uses a mix of qualitative methods including a survey, interviews and analysis of the structure of the site. The study uses discourse analysis and is grounded in work on situated learning. The study suggests that the site and community is scaffolding young people into deeper understanding of digital production and the development of practical skills, like programming, as individuals take on identities associated with different roles in game design. This study reinforces the value of research focused on young peoples social media creation and also suggest there is still much to be learned about technologically simple but socially rich platforms like web forums. As qualitative research it does not generate statistical generalization. This research suggests three implications for the design of online learning environments focused on media production. Designers should 1) start with learner's interests and basic skills will come; 2) support a diverse range of production roles and identities; and that 3) simple technical systems can support sophisticated digital learning communities. While there is much work on learning in online communities little of that work has focused on the importance of different roles in those communities and little has focused on implications of these spaces for designing online learning environments.

Purpose–Organisations now regard having a web site as mandatory but as more businesses create websites the real challenge lies in driving traffic to a specific web site. Little research attention has been paid to the issues for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of how to increase traffic to their web site. This paper addresses the issue of web site traffic generation for SMEs which have limited resources to determine how SMEs might make more effective use of search engine marketing (SEM) tools to increase web site ...

Purpose – This study aims to investigate how ego-involvement and the design of online services may be associated with affective commitment, making the distinction between hedonic and utilitarian services. Design/methodology/approach – This research uses partial least squares to estimate the parameters of the research model. Findings – This research reaches four conclusions. First, that visual aesthetics and usability have a

Purpose – This conceptual article aims to explore the current state of knowledge management systems, to describe the potential role of synthetic worlds for knowledge integration, and to suggest a future research agenda. Design/methodology/approach – Using the constraints of current knowledge management systems outlined in Alavi and Tiwana as a guiding structure, this article explores knowledge integration through a synthetic
