Abstract
The AT&T Bell Laboratories Library Network is striving to fulfill its vision of providing all AT&T professional employees with an ''electron ic window'' to meet their information needs. People must be able to ac cess information quickly and easily without the fear of information ov erload. Taking these needs and requirements into account, the Library and computer researchers combined their interests and areas of experti se to create The RightPages(TM) Service. This service brings the libra ry to users' desktop work-stations by incorporating ASCII text, bitmap images, and an alerting service, in a system that is comfortable and efficient to use.
