OSTI ID:5080422
An automated reference librarian is a computer program which helps the user locate and use objects from programming libraries. Its function is analogous to the function of a reference librarian in a public or academic library. A reference librarian's job is to be an expert on locating information. A client comes to the librarian with a need for information and the librarian connects the client with the source of the information he needs, perhaps even instructing him on how to use the reference materials. In the same way an automated reference librarian will help the user find programming objects in software libraries. The librarian will help the programmer use the located objects by helping him construct the interface between the object he is creating and the library object that he needs.
