Abstract

The purpose and use of digital libraries (DL) were investigated with respect to small user studies. The three DL employed are: the ACDM DL, the networked computer science technical reference library and the New Zealand DL. Prefer tradition and appropriate models' use were the two design insights developed by the analysis of DL.
