Recommender Systems for Digital Libraries: A review of concepts and concerns

The study hopefully has given an understanding of Recommender System (RS) concept and trends of IR systems especially in the domain of digital libraries. It unfolded the concept of RS through the review of literature and presented an outline of the concepts. Paper discussed the importance of recommender systems in the digital library domain. Study further explain the concept of different kind of RS applied to different digital library software systems. This paper shows how recommender systems functions in different library systems and how these recommender system helps to the users to find and retrieve data or information from different databases. The basic aim of this paper is to know the future aspects of recommender systems in digital library systems and the implications according to its need. This paper contains about conceptual base of the recommender systems, their approaches and their usability in different field of information gathering systems Abstract The study hopefully has given an understanding of Recommender System (RS) concept and trends of IR systems especially in the domain of digital libraries.
