Better Communities through Better Information: Project CIRCE and community information
Abstract
Project CIRCE is an 18‐month research project, funded by the British Library Research and Innovation Centre, looking at the feasibility of networking community information between public library authorities in the UK. This article looks at the issues involved in networking: the role of the Internet, what libraries are currently doing, metadata, subject and location indexing, “user groups” and “life episodes”, information tailoring and packaging, and the issue of human / information mediation.
