In any library there is generally a librarian. To provide human
librarians for each component library user would be quite expensive.
Therefore, the "intelligent software librarian" software is constructed.
The human librarian encodes domain knowledge and component selection
heuristics into the system, and the users are then guided automatically
by the automated librarian. Thus, a small number of human knowledge
engineers (the human librarian(s)) can serve a very large number of
library users.
