  • Abstract

    Project Intrex (information transfer experiments) is a program of research and experiments intended to provide a foundation for the design of future information-transfer systems. The library of the future is conceived as a computer-based communications network, but at this time we do not know enough details about such a network to design it. Lacking are the necessary experimental facts, especially in the area of user's interaction with such a system. To discover these facts, we want to conduct experiments not only in the laboratory, but above all, in the real-life environment of a useful operating library.
