Abstract
Over the last decade the Library of the University of California, Riverside
and its collaborators have developed a number of systems, service designs,
and projects that utilize innovative technologies to foster better Internet
finding tools in libraries and more cooperative and efficient effort in Internet
link and metadata collection building. The open-source software
and projects discussed represent appropriate technologies and sustainable
strategies that we believe will help Internet portals, digital libraries, virtual libraries,
library catalogs-with-portal-like-capabilities (IPDVLCs), and related
collection-building efforts in academia to better scale and more accurately
anticipate and meet the needs of scholarly and educational users.published or submitted for publicatio
