| dc.description.abstract | This paper describes a collaborative effort to explore user needs in a
digital library, develop interface prototypes for a digital library, and
suggest and prototype tools for digital librarians and users at the
Library of Congress (LC). Interfaces were guided by an assessment of user
needs and aimed to maximize interaction with primary resources and support
both browsing and analytical search strategies. Tools to aid users and
librarians in overviewing collections, previewing objects, and gatherin g
results were created and serve as the beginnings of a digital librarian
toolkit. The design process and results are described and suggestions for
future work are offered.
