42 | <p> The goal of our research program is to explore the potential of
|
---|
43 | internet-based digital libraries. Our vision is to develop systems that
|
---|
44 | automatically impose structure on anarchic, uncatalogued, distributed
|
---|
45 | repositories of information, thereby providing information consumers with
|
---|
46 | effective tools to locate what they need and to peruse it conveniently and
|
---|
47 | comfortably. Our research objectives are to
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | <ul>
|
---|
50 | <li> develop technology for creating and automatically
|
---|
51 | maintaining collections;
|
---|
52 | <li> monitor usage to study library users' needs;
|
---|
53 | <li> look at novel interfaces that cater to a wide spectrum of users;
|
---|
54 | <li> find ways to abstract layout and bibliographic information
|
---|
55 | from document files;
|
---|
56 | <li> use this information to enhance presentation and for
|
---|
57 | bibliometric research;
|
---|
58 | <li> assess potential subject areas for public-domain collections;
|
---|
59 | <li> survey and critique other digital library projects.

---|

72 | <h2>Projects, publications, and programs</h2>
|
---|
73 | <p>
|
---|
74 | Our project members are actively researching a diverse range of topics.
|
---|
75 | These projects are described on the
|
---|
76 | <a href="_httppagex_(projects)">_home:textprojects_</a>
|
---|
77 | page.
|
---|
78 | <p>
|
---|
79 | Our research is regularly published in academic publications,
|
---|
80 | which can be browsed and searched through the
|
---|
81 | <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/publications/">_home:textpub_</a>
|
---|
82 | collection.
|
---|
83 | <p>
|
---|
84 | In the course of our research,
|
---|
85 | we have developed a range of practical software packages,
|
---|
86 | many are available for
