These documents are now made available to a larger audience as they can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Experts in the field of information and research state that the simplicity of this type of search engine prevents the user from finding the necessary information.
Transformations in society
Transformations in the economic situation of libraries
Too many hits?! The new trend of vague search entries
However, all of this data may be relevant to the user's query to some degree. Therefore, it provides the user with an overview of all resources that may be related to the topic.
The integration of heterogenous services
Intuitive search engines offer the user, who has previously established the limits of his/her research, an overview of all possible data that can be found on this topic. The retrieved data includes more information than the user actually needs and not everything may be 100% related to the given topic.
The librarian’s challenge to reach customer satisfaction
Changing a paradigm: changing the object “information”
Breaking with the traditional way of managing physical objects
- From a manufactured object to information objects
- From an exogenous catalog to endogenous metadata
That is why librarians and information workers have invented certain techniques and rules for classifying and retrieving these documents. From the moment digital documents are created, they contain descriptive elements that enable the user to classify and manage them.
New objects in documentation
Traditional documents such as paper, tape and disks do not contain elements of documentation that enable the user to retrieve them. The adjustable level of granularity in these objects is also a revolutionary trend in the field of documentation.
Changing a paradigm: information in a network of documentation
Information is linked to a network of information
The way the information is structured, based on XML standards for example, integrates the semantic significance of the document. Linguistic structures or statistics, especially within the document's semantic environment, can be automatically associated with the document, thus allowing a better understanding of the document.
Processing a high flux of dematerialized information
A new way of organizing libraries: the impact of the digital revolution
- Impact on the functioning of a library
- Impact on the concept of information
- Impact on distribution
- Impact on intellectual property
Documents must therefore be processed in a way that enables the user to find and utilize them in the future. Research strategies, such as hyperlinks, must be reviewed by documentation professionals, including the use of the most powerful technology available today.
New trends
Introducing administrative aspects of documentation into the
In the case of public documents, it is important that they are used by other people, while at the same time the author must be protected from plagiarism. The idea that plagiarism is much easier with documents that can be accessed online is not valid as the intellectual property of a document that is cited, read and therefore widely known is much easier to protect.
The librarian’s role in the editing process
Increasing the role of librarians and information workers 11 In the past, librarians have played an important role in the institutionalized distribution of information. The most important sector that requires librarians in the future is the long-term preservation of digital documents.
The digital library
The virtual library
Future job descriptions for librarians and information officers will clearly include the fact that they represent the link between the library and the publisher.
A “real” library
Introducing different layers to the core sector of the profession
Support for online library users
Providing training for users
Managing materialized objects as well as digital documents
Broadening skills and responsibilities for all of the library’s staff
Managing old and new techniques simultaneously
Increasing qualifications and responsibilities
The digital environment not only requires a higher technical skill level to perform editorial tasks or tasks related to the organization of a library, but also to make the right strategic choices for the library as an institution.

Which services should be aimed at what kind of audience?
- Content
- Internal sources
- External sources
- Limiting the access of resources to a specific group
- Services
- Simplified multisource search – different kinds of sources are
- Multifield search in a single database
- Keeping up to date with new information, information strands
- Exporting data into EndNote
- Accessing specific sources
- Programs
- Managing the portal – source control
- Searching local data and external crawl data
- Researching data from dynamic websites
- Integration processes in the multimedia library and source
In general, all the programs used are divided into two main groups: either they are part of the portal or they allow the user to search the databases. This program is also used to enter data into the databases of the multimedia library (catalogue and photo collection).
How are services used?
- Empirical knowledge and how users carry out their research
- A lack of knowledge in traditional means of documentation . 39
- Communication increases the use of the portal!
- Some statistics
- Who uses the portal?
- Most frequently used services
- The most frequently used sources
However, the number of Biolib users is greater than the number of people who received training at the multimedia library. Traditionally, search entries are rather vague at the start and are refined when searching a second time if the number of hits is too high.
Current problems
- How to organize the extremely high number of hits
- Selecting sources or collections
- Selecting data based on categories or clusters?
- Can the costs be controlled?
- How to create a new dialog with the user
- Appendix: Biolib’s search interface
Databases that are part of the multimedia library and PubMed are often used. In conclusion, the introduction of Biolib has provided an overview of the behavior of users regarding digital information.

At the same time, semiological analysis of the screen contributes to our understanding of unexpected behavior. The semantic complexity of the screen pages adds to the technical difficulties of the query process.
The Digital Spirit: Digital Libraries and Democracy
The symbolic value of books stored within a library
Therefore, the spirit of a library also consists of the techniques needed to access documents such as reading, consulting, copying, reproducing, annotating, etc. When referring to this book, the analyzes of [JOH 94] will always be the basis of the arguments presented. within this article.
How can the project of a digital library be realized?
Digital libraries are actually very rare!
As an extreme example, a student explained that he "read" one of the recommended books on the Internet. This is at least the ideal of the republican library, which is inspired by the philosophy of the Enlightenment.
Technical supports and new ways of reading
In reality, there are many different forms of reading and they all find a suitable form of physical representation in the traditional art of printing. In the first part of the reading process, notes are taken or observations are made on the text.
Two different types of logic within reading processes
This exercise makes the reader sensitive to Lefort's suggestion of Machiavelli's approach known as "working on a text", so today a pragmatic form of reading is taking place during which the reader selects parts of texts that meet his/her needs .
The sociological significance of different reading processes
Does the “library of democracy” exist?
In the style of a pamphlet, Morel described the "museum library", which was antiquated, discouraging and prevalent in Morel's time. Indeed, there is a discrepancy between public access to knowledge and public acquisition.
Access and usage
Tocqueville – a sociological model of democracy
No individual would be able to form all their opinions on their own and "follow their own truth". Damien's approach, the "democratic library model", ignores the influence of public opinion on democracy.
The library’s devices and the disposition of the public
A classification in the form of an encyclopedia always has a significant impact on the presentation of knowledge. This infinite plurality does not lead to the questioning of knowledge within democracies, but rather paves the way for "the denunciation of bibliophobia" that Damien calls [DAM 00, p.
Libraries are facing a cultural crisis
In order for the library's treasures and tools to be used effectively, the taste for knowledge and culture as a core value must be passed on to future generations. However, the general public still needs to familiarize themselves with the way in which the library is organised.

3D Interaction for Digital Libraries
The page as a surface
- Structured light
- Photogrammetry
The resulting distortion of the design on the image allows us to physically reduce the size of the surface. To distinguish the lines of the grid, each line can be given a different color.
The book and reading interfaces
The tripod can be removed by clicking on the green bar with a right mouse click. These shortcuts can also be found at the bottom of the tripod as buttons or menus.
Research collections and research interfaces
In these interfaces, the organization of the actual library is respected (study and work areas, shelving, even corridors and stairs). The organization of the book collection can also be reconstructed according to the needs of the user.
Conclusion
The hemisphere will be used to display information in the background of the 3D screen, while the LCD tablet will allow the user to interact with the documents in the foreground (for example, for annotations). Although at first sight it is possible to believe that "the migration of library material to an online environment using the same paper distribution [is] a simple technical feasibility problem" [STE 99], from our particular experience we can conclude that this subject raises more interesting questions for the information science research community.

The first set of data describes the separation criteria that apply to the first three levels of the structure. A second set of data describes the nature of the connecting classes of relationships at the three main levels of each classification structure.
General conclusion
Validation of ease of navigation, ease of use, extensibility and flexibility of the structure will be achieved by having two or more classifiers, who until now have had no ties to this project or to the project team, use the faceted structure to describe resources in our virtual sample library . We also hope to be able to confirm interest in the solution for the web browser in the near future.
