The recommender system BibTip generates recommendations for a given title by statistic analyses of OPAC user behavior. Recommendations are presented in form of a link list guiding the user to similar titles. BibTip offers added value to users, complements the traditional subject indexing and provides a useful tool that will keep library catalogs attractive in the future.

The recommendations are catalog-specific and therefore tailored to the users of the respective library. You can integrate BibTip very easily in any OPAC. No additional software or hardware is required. All BibTip services including data analysis and creation of recommendations are provided by Karlsruhe University Library.
