Abstract

EPFL Library Link is a tool that was originally developed to help subject librarians in their selection process by displaying title availability in the catalog directly on provider web pages and databases. It soon became clear, however, that the real-time availability of library titles on web sites such as Amazon.com would help patrons seeking access to a particular book but unaware that this book may already be available in the library network. Thus, instead of keeping on trying to drive patrons to the OPAC, the OPAC is brought to the users where they actually are (e.g. on Amazon). EPFL Library Link is currently in development to implement this feature.

Website

A website (also written as a web site) is a collection of web pages and related content that is identified by a common domain name and published on at least one web server. Websites are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, such as news, education, commerce, entertainment or social networking. Hyperlinking between web pages guides the navigation of the site, which often starts with a home page. the top 5 most visited websites are Google Search, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Book

A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or s, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. It can also be a handwritten or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers. The technical term for this physical arrangement is codex (plural, codices). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll.

Tool

A tool is an object that can extend an individual's ability to modify features of the surrounding environment or help them accomplish a particular task. Although many animals use simple tools, only human beings, whose use of stone tools dates back hundreds of millennia, have been observed using tools to make other tools. Early human tools, made of such materials as stone, bone, and wood, were used for the preparation of food, hunting, the manufacture of weapons, and the working of materials to produce clothing and useful artifacts and crafts such as pottery, along with the construction of housing, businesses, infrastructure, and transportation.
