Abstract
Expert systems have promised much more than they have delivered. Although expert systems in libraries have been discussed extensively, there are few working systems. Development rarely progresses beyond the prototype. Presents a case study of the construction of a simple expert system at Banktown City library's community information service involving a narrow, precise domain. Observes the working of the system. The benefits of simple expert systems are that they are useful to knowledgeable users, they may be used for training and can give guided and structured information in a way that books and pamphlets do not
