Abstract:
A library pathfinder is a guide that gathers basic information resources on a specific subject. However, the library pathfinder is developed using a manual method based on a librarian's experience and present knowledge. Therefore, there is an issue of whether a pathfinder contains suitable resources. In this study, a pathfinder support system has been developed to produce a pathfinder draft using past library reference example data. As a result, it was discovered that the suggestion method developed here could possibly search relevant resources that are not accessible using the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) base method.
