Abstract

In a digital library one of the most challenging problems is finding relevant information. Information finding is the research focus of the Stanford component of the ARPA-sponsored CS-TR Project, and the work has continued as one of the main thrusts in the Stanford Integrated Digital Library project [14]. In this paper we discuss some of the emerging issues in information finding, such as text-database discovery, efficient information dissemination, and copy detection and removal. We also outline our approaches to these issues.
