Prof. Saito's Knowledge Agent System for Library

Knowledge Agent System called KnowLib is a system which provides friendly user interface with library.

   User knowledge is defined as individual
searching strategy to access library resources.
This knowledge depends on user implicit skill
about library information which are reading
impression, personal book review and references.
Such informal knowledge are collected 
and KnowLib generates anonymous avatars
called Knowledge Agents(K-Agent) which hold
the attributes described by these user knowledge.
K-Agents live and communicate with each other 
in Knowledge base(K-Space).
Library users retrieve favorite K-Agents
from K-Space and make their plans for
searching strategies.
K-Agents navigate users to find
relevant library resources.
