The Virtual Library is an experiment in peer-to-peer book sharing. Web-based system generates email requests, status updates and keeps track of book locations. Built using Struts/Tiles
A library which has no physical existence, being constructed solely in electronic form or on paper. The building blocks required for such a library may not exist, and the chemical steps for such a library may not have been tested. These libraries are used in the design and evaluation of possible libraries.
An combinatorial chemical library that is built in silico with the goal of evaluating possible structures.
A Virtual Library (VL) is a subset of an Enstore data storage library. It can contain one and only one type of media. It is paired with its own library manager which controls it.
access to electronic information in a variety of remote locations through a local online catalogue or other gateway, such as the internet
Techniques of virtual reality – sophisticated computer simulations – could be use to provide users with library and information services by electronic means, with network document delivery and access, as if from a 'real' library but without a physical entity actually being necessary.
Information resources or information services that are available over the Internet. At BMCC, the Virtual Library site provides access to a large number of library resources (indexes, journals, and reference materials, for example) and online reference service via the campus computer network. Students access these resources through a browser on a workstation anywhere on campus or remotely from home.
a library in which holdings are available in electronic store houses and the user will be able to find the source documents quickly and easily
a library that is mostly electronic
an alternative way to access information on the Web
an organised set of links to items on the Web including links not only to electronic books and journals but also to any kind of electronic material that has been published on the Web
a searchable database covering electronic, print, and Internet resources, including publications (print and online), websites, photos, video, and projects
As used in this report, the term virtual library means an information system making it possible to satisfy the information needs of a single user or multiple users wherever they may reside, independent of the location of the services and resources.
An electronic network offering immediate access to full-text documents and other information.
A virtual (as opposed to physical) collection existing only as digital files accessible via computer, not as books or tangible media in a library building. Go to Top
A "library without walls", in which the collection and resources are not maintained on paper, microform, or in any tangible form, but are accessible electronically. Such libraries exist only on a small scale, but in many traditional libraries, current and retrospective periodical literature is rapidly being converted to digital format.
Library and information services are provided electronically to users, through networked document delivery and access. Often used to refer to networked access to conventional library resources.
A collection of resources stored in electronic form which are available through an on-line medium such as the Internet. Computer files, documents, graphics, audio, video, and many other types of information are easily accessible via the well constructed virtual libraries on the Internet. Allison began her report on careers in veterinary medicine by consulting a well known virtual library on the web.
Virtual Libraries are libraries that consist only of resources available in a digital format, which can be accessed locally - stored on a hard disk - or through computer networks - public or private.
