Recommender system as a part of the library resources promotion

Reporter: Knyazeva A.A.

The paper discusses the use of unconventional methods to search the library catalog to solve a more general problem - the promotion of existing information resources to library readers and Internet users. Traditional search methods, which are used in library systems do not allow to take into account the collective user decisions about the importance of a particular resource, and its similarity to other resources. It is proposed to use a variety of modern tools such as the mechanisms of interaction with social networks, recommender systems, based on collaborative filtering, and others. The use of recommender system can meet the challenges implicit search of resources on the basis of the analysis of user preferences. At the same time recommender system is not intended to replace traditional methods of searching for documents, but only to supplement them with new instruments. This allows to get a new search quality, as well as new opportunities for the promotion of information resources.
