| Abstract | Analysis and design of a system for creation of virtual libraries describe a systematic
approach in developing an Internet service called 'virtual library'. Virtual libraries apply the
concept of traditional libraries in cataloging and classifying of resources, but leave the Internet
resources at their original location. The data stored in the system are resource descriptions, e.g.
title, author, and URL, while the user interface provides through web browser the link to
original location of resources. The study begins with collecting and studying the current
situation concerning the development of virtual libraries both in business process and
technology. Then using information analysis and design methods, proposes a set of general
procedures and models for understanding the system which could be easily adapted to actual
implementation. The mod~l proposed in this study has already been reviewed and tested with a
prototype system to demonstrate its applicability. Finally, the study proposes some insight for
future direction for developing the system. |
