42 DuVall, Scott L.Identifying data set specific duplicate patient recordsProbabilistic models are commonly used in the identification of duplicate records. These methods are usually more accurate than deterministic methods, but are exponentially more computationally complex. Thus to make them computationally feasible, they rely on deterministic blocking strategies. Th...Probabilistic models; Duplicate records; Duplicate patient records; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
43 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinion) - academic libraries and the "Arming America" problem: a response to Steve McKinzieMcKinzie is careful in his recommendations: although he is deeply concerned about the "host of unwary readers" who may find in the stacks "a terribly misleading book that bases its arguments on fabricated data and deliberately misconstrued research," he emphasizes at the same time that he is not su...2009
44 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion) Is the library collection too risky?Like many (maybe even most) of my colleagues, I've been thinking a lot lately about low to allocate a suddenly diminished materials budget. Only a year ago our biggest worry was how to deal with serials inflation in an environment that offered insufficient budget increases.2009
45 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): the journal issue and the record album: two fundamentally irrational information productsOver the past few years I've become more and more convinced that the scholarly information world has a lot to learn from the music industry. Not so much from what the latter is doing either right or wrong, but from what has happened to it over the past 100 years, how it has happened, and why. From ...2009
46 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinon): What's your problem? (and what's mine?)Academic libraries are in a tough situation, there's no question about it. We're beset on two sides, and it's almost as if the two sides had coordinated their attacks. From one side, attacking us with a gentle smile and a two-edged sword, is Google, which wasn't satisfied with being the single easi...2009
