Design and Implementation of A Virtual Library in Engineering (original) (raw)

2015

Abstract

The developing revolution in the technology of on-line storage, display, and communication will make it economically possible to place the entire contents of a library on-line, accessible from computer networks located any where, with a hardware cost comparable to operational budget of that library. A virtual engineering library is a collection of information that is stored and accessed electronically. The information stored in the library should have a number of topics common to all the data. At the same time, virtual engineering library represents a new infrastructure and interface that has been created by the integration and use of digital content. The objective of this research is to design and implement a virtual engineering library, and to examine the issues that effect and are affected by virtual engineering library development. The primary elements of this design are databases and interface tools. This framework provides a model of navigation that supports the process of discovery with predictable access points into differing collections of information. The implemented virtual engineering library works on Windows-Server operating systems and required Apache Web-server, PHP, and HTML to interact with the database (My SQL) of the proposed application. The research concludes by attempting to reach some conclusions about a virtual engineering library development and the validity of the proposed model of virtual engineering library. Flowing from this, recommendations are made for further research in this field.
