| Abstract | In the information age, information centers or libraries need to improve their business by effective use of information technology. In less-developed countries, investment for information technology in non-profit organization such as library or information center is still a heavy burden for organizations due to financial constraint. Therefore, any application, which helps to improve business productivities and requires less resource investment, is needed. In this study, an object-oriented model of an online information system, which supports information centers in providing some typical information services, is developed. The system has three main functions such as information retrieval service, current awareness service and, selective dissemination of information. Users can search the two bibliographic databases using selected searchable fields. The systems can also provide the current awareness service and personalized selective dissemination information through e-mail. The model is based on the model of client/server architecture. To facilitate modification of the model due to unforeseen changes, the object-oriented approach is applied in both analysis and design phases. Major functionalities of the model are also implemented. |
