Περίληψη: Language barriers present a major problemin the e€ ectiveness of resource sharing and in common access to the resources of libraries. In this paper we present the TRANSLIB system, which consists of an integration of both new and existing multilingual information tools. This systemtakes full advantage of some AI± based methods in order to provide multilingual access to library catalogues. Its main features include functionalities for searching in multiple languages, multilingual presentation of the query results, and localization of the user interface. TRANSLIB has currently been tested in existing medium± sized bibliographic databases. Evaluation results show a remarkable improvement in the search process and report high user friendliness and easy and low± cost maintenance and upgrade of the system.
