Digital Libraries New Jersey Institute of Technology professor to develop supersized virtual library
From the announcement, "Led by Michael Bieber, PhD, associate professor of information systems and co-director of the Collaborative Hypermedia Research Laboratory at NJIT, a group of information scientists and librarians received last month a total of more than $2 million in federal funding to develop computer software to create such a tool. 'We're developing a supersized library,' said Bieber. 'Our meta information engine will automatically add links within Web pages to related documents and services, customized to your current task.' Funding, which extends through September of 2007, includes $498,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS); $850,000 from the National Science Digital Library program at the National Science Foundation (NSF); and $800,000 from the NSF to develop a general recommendation engine. Librarians and other researchers from NJIT, Olin College of Engineering in Massachusetts, Ramapo College, Cumberland Community College and the Newark Public Library, as well as several on-line digital libraries, will help Bieber test and develop the software."
