X Abstract

The article focuses on the efforts of libraries and computer software vendors alike to develop OPAC (online public access catalog)-user interfaces that combines the features of OPAC and popular Web search applications. Such software like Endeca and AquaBrowser were developed originally for non-library content but deliver new search models that go beyond the native capability of library catalogs. Ex Libris Ltd. is among the library-software vendors attempting to revitalize the library environment by creating next-generation interfaces. The company offers libraries discrete components that help them manage electronic content such as their metasearch portal, digital content-creation environment, electronic-resource management application and other application suite.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
