Abstract

Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of a common user interface to enable searching of all databases regardless of producer, supplier or location, such as local CD-ROM, or network. Explains client server architecture, the basic component of a common user interface and outlines current developments including the Z39.50 application layer protocol. A common user interface will result in greater synergy between information providers, technology providers, distributors and information professionals. It will also be able to search across the Internet and make that huge wealth of data much more available than it currently is. Predicts that a common user interface will be in operation by the turn of the century
