Abstract

Currently the great advances in Web technologies are changing the process of access to information and the Web is one of the most important source of information. Furthermore, the Web influences the development of others media, for example, newspapers, journals, books, libraries, etc. In this paper we analyze its impact in the development of the university digital libraries. As well as on the Web, the information growth is a big problem for academic digital libraries, and similar tools can be applied in university digital libraries to provide users with access to the information. Given the importance of this aspect, in this paper we analyze and review different proposals that improve the processes of dissemination of information in these university digital libraries, promoting access to information of interest. These proposals manage to adapt access to information according to the needs and preferences of each user. As we can see in the literature, one of the techniques with the best results, is the application of recommender systems. Recommender systems are tools whose objective is to evaluate and filter the large amount of information available on the Web to assist users in their process of access to information. Thus, in this paper we analyze some proposals based on recommender system to help students, teachers and researchers to find research resources that can improve the services provided by the university digital libraries.
