The interaction of the users with multiple information sources provided by a digital library would continue to be a focus on the future. The mythical “paperless society” “Library: a place to space” is still a debatable aspects of library and information science profession of the aftermath of the Internet and ICT revolution. Since its invention more than five centuries, the paper has served as one of our primary communication medium and continued to be so in the next future too. The recent phenomenon has been to use both paper-based as well as electronic information in an integrated way. In other words, the paper would be readable by both computers and people. In the digital library, paper may continue to form the user interface medium (Alexa and Marie, 2001) in the days and years to come.
The need to develop better work spaces for retrieving, visualizing and manipulating large volumes of data has been one of the major thrust areas in ICT. The path breaking efforts in interactive graphics and animation technologies are finding applications in visualizing and disseminating large volume of data. This is based on the pretext that much of the complex cognitive tasks are best performed by the human perceptual system. The navigation tools of the future would tend to integrate with the human assisted information retrieval and provide a virtual landscape that reflects the structure of the networked universe and would support rapid information navigation and precision retrieval (Malwad, 1996).
