IM-99-03  aA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of  Science, School of Engineering and Technology  aThesis (M.Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1999  aAnalysis and design of a system for creation of virtual libraries describe a systematic  approach in developing an Internet service called 'virtual library'. Virtual libraries apply the  concept of traditional libraries in cataloging and classifying of resources, but leave the Internet  resources at their original location. The data stored in the system are resource descriptions, e.g.  title, author, and URL, while the user interface provides through web browser the link to  original location of resources. The study begins with collecting and studying the current  situation concerning the development of virtual libraries both in business process and  technology. Then using information analysis and design methods, proposes a set of general  procedures and models for understanding the system which could be easily adapted to actual  implementation. The mod~l proposed in this study has already been reviewed and tested with a  prototype system to demonstrate its applicability. Finally, the study proposes some insight for  future direction for developing the system. 10aDigital libraries1 aDevadason, Francis Jawahar, eChairperson0 aVatcharaporn Esichaikul,eExamination Committee1 aYulu, Qi, eExamination committee2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
