The design and implementation is described of MultiLink, a desktop system for direct
enduser access to remote bibliographic information. The system is an application of
a client-server technique based on a campuswide network, with the objective to assist
end-users to accomplish the information — retrieval process by capturing knowledge
and expertise for searches in query formulations. MultiLink, via intelligent interfaces,
allows users to access several dozens of bibliographic databases. The application
