Description des documents électroniques et les besoins des utilisateurs (Bibliographic description of electronic resources and user needs) French version presented at the International Conference

摘要

I'll focus my observations on public libraries and I'll talk about the situation of the access to electronic documents in French libraries. I'll base my speech also upon the remarks about this topic found in professional literature, including that published in France. How can selection, bibliographic description of electronic resources and mediation of librarians reduce users' frustration? It is a fact that the best search engines cover only a third of the Web, the remaining stays invisible and hidden in databases. In this way, librarians are more and more useful for selecting, classifying and providing information.
