Abstract
This paper presents a library navigation system named LiNS, using a combination of Web, sensor and smart phone technologies. In addition to the function of an ordinary book search system, LiNS provides a library user with the function of finding the route from the current location point in the library to the point where the object the user needs is located. Furthermore, it offers the “See Also” function by which the user can get related and recommended information that may develop a user´s new interest.
