Abstract :
In a digital library environment, we propose a novel support concept that is like a reference service in real libraries. Based on the concept, we have developed a prototype, called DOLPHIN, using a frame based knowledge base to support reference services in a digital library. DOLPHIN can guide the user to the appropriate service
