LibSearchNet: Analyses of library log files to identify search flows

The online libraries of the next generation library users would mean creating 3D virtual spaces where they would navigate as they do in traditional libraries. To achieve this goal the surface has to be built and this new environment has offer options with which non-library educated users would navigate effectively. Reaching this state the activities of present day online library users and library systems should be thoroughly analyzed. The sources of the analyses are the library log files. Well-designed log files would reveal, on one hand, the patterns of the users´ activities which are crucial in building algorithms for the mental representation of searches. On the other hand, the analyses of these log files would shed light on the operation of the system.
