Abstract :
Most information seeking and retrieval systems are designed for individual use, and prototype collaborative systems are too limited to support use in heterogeneous environments. Easy Access to Digital Libraries (ezDL) attempts to bridge this gap by integrating familiar information sharing and management functions with communication tools into a flexible, scalable network in which individuals and groups function as nodes.
