within the National Resource for Infection Control (NRIC -
www.nric.org.uk) in the UK.
The National Resource for Infection Control is an Internet
medical digital library that provides a single point of access to
quality appraised, evidence based information within the field of
infection control.
One of the most important aspects of running an online healthcare
digital library is the improvement of the functionality provided to
the users, in order to facilitate the transfer of information in as
useful a manner as possible. Software agents can help solve some
of the problems involved in this process in an efficient manner.
The methods by which agents may be used in this scenario to aid
the improvement of this digital library are detailed here.},
