      Thanks for your query.

I believe  that my article "Library Database Advisors: Emerging
Innovative Augmented Digital Library Services" (Library Hi Tech  News 19
no. 4 (May 2002):  27-33"), which profiles several such services, wil be
of interest. It is available free-of-charge from

http://gessler.emeraldinsight.com/vl=7207771/cl=64/nw=1/rpsv/journals/lhtn/sample.htm

    In addition, my PowerPoint presentation entitled "IDEALS: Emerging
Innovative Augmented Digital Library Services" for the WiLSWorld 2002
conference  includes screenprints and text about several of the major
technologies as of mid-2002. My IDEALS presentation is available at:

  [ http://www.wils.wisc.edu/events/wworld02/present/ideals.ppt]

OR

  [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/IDEALS.ppt ]

The portion of the IDEALS about Library Database Advisors in the first
group in the section category (USE).

IDEALS is a Large File (14 MB) due to numerous screen prints
[Please be patient; the wait will be worth your while][:-)

    Enjoy!
