Abstract
The digital library, widely recognized as an important application in global and national information infrastructures, is an integration of advanced information technologies. Activities related to the digital library and the information technology to enhance accessibility to information in the digital library are surveyed. The paper describes five experimental studies on software tools which are designed to enhance the accessibility of information: an online public access catalogue with a bookshelf-like user interface, a book selection assistance system for children's books, an information visualization of characteristics of children's books, an application of a collaboration support system to a reference work in a library, and a multi-lingual browser for WWW documents. The paper shows the need for an intuitive information access tool for novice users.
