Recently AIB promoted another project in the field - the Coordination of Italian WWW for librarians. This was done to organize a multitude of online services offering specialized information. The purpose was once again to provide a wider reference desk, integrating different sources. This new venture started in May 1998. Added value AIB-Web was created to be a librarian tool.
Librarians know exactly what quality information is - reliable, updated, exaustive.
Information as such is often useless and it is the work behind it that makes it valuable. The added value in AIB-Web is the result of different efforts in different directions, in line with internationals trends. Conventional cooperation means were abandoned and the new approach proved successful. The new opportunities and mainly the e-mail were exploited to the best. The electronic publications developed by AIB-Web provide access to information which could not be retrieved otherwise, organizing resources in a consistent and professional way, reviewing and integrating them.
