title = "Writers of the lost paper: A case study on barriers to (re-) finding publications",
abstract = "We document the surprising hurdles that we encountered when attempting a known-item search to locate copies of four of our own published research papers, known to be archived in the ACM Digital Library and Google Scholar. The discoveries made in this exercise in {\textquoteleft}search engine archaeology{\textquoteright} are noteworthy as they are equally relevant to other users engaging with these and other digital libraries, to whom the pitfalls are much less readily apparent. We present details of our investigation together with a description of MEDDLE (a ModifiED Digital Library Environment), a proof-of-concept system that illustrates a technique to address some of these search issues for a target digital library. We conclude with suggestions on how scholarly digital libraries may avoid these issues in the future.",
