Abstract

This paper describes the development of a prototype user interface to support construction of "virtual personal libraries" from digital libraries. The virtual personal library provides broad support for user information activities such as browsing, editing, storing, and annotating. We propose the use of a book-metaphor interface that represents virtual books and bookshelves on computer displays. Users can browse, edit, and store information freely by using this interface. We also propose a pointer-storing method based on the concept of transclusion to legally validate the use of information resources. An extended HTML is used to realize the pointer- storing method on the WWW.
