Weaknesses The BiblioNet search engine although appropriate for basic searching and current awareness may be frustrating for the experienced searcher and information professional. I would challenge BiblioNet to move forward and add extra value to this resource at no extra or minimal charge. Strengths BiblioNet is a new product, waiting for further product development. The main strengths of the service are its access to the Inspec database and document delivery services. An interesting feature is the meta-search window that allows anyone to search all BiblioNet's databases using one search window.
Instructions are available in French and English languages.
However BiblioNet could easily add Spanish and other language-specific interfaces. As traditional online databases attempt to create integrated online resources, individual researchers, special librarians, information professionals, corporate and small libraries, academic departments and labs, recognize the need for access to scholastic research at a reasonable cost. BiblioNet is a small, yet important step towards meeting these needs. Check it out yourself. We welcome your comments about this article.
