The military library environment
is flooded with electronic resources: electronic journals, databases and other electronic sources such as videos and e-books.
MIL is an innovative integrated solution designed to help library patrons access the different resources from a single screen. Furthermore, it allows the user to define and conduct his search across different electronic journals and databases. Recognizing that users may lack the time to actively search for needed information on a regular basis, MIL contains sophisticated and easy to-use tools through which the user is able to receive periodcally defined information from the library's electronic resources. MIL provides the end user with a regular information update, obviating active involvement by either library personnel or the user. More
ComponentsMIL incorporates up-to-date information from around the world on all the military subjects that might be relevant to library patrons. The MIL Library includes three important software systems, facilitating access to its information:
Federated Search System:
Allows searching across databases and electronic journals. It creates important article keywords on the fly while searching, with metadata to access and organize the reading according to any keyword.
E-Journal Access Manager with Table of Contents (TOC)
A database enabling users to conduct a search locally over the library network for electronic journals, thereby accessing the full text article according to actual library subscriptions.
GDI-Global Defense Information:
An up-to-date military news database spanning over 20 years. The database is classified by subjects and updated daily. GDI can be searched directly or in conjunction with other library resources. In essence, GDI is a military library unto itself, containing data collected from almost 200 military journals and web sites.
