Abstract

We present improvements to a learning module, the Learn- ing Server, to be exploited in a digital library system for supporting document management tasks as well as for providing a form of user interface adaptivity based on user classification. Indeed, our system is equipped with a web-based environment endowed with visual tools that are thought for improving the interaction of inexperienced users and for supporting experienced users in an effective accomplishment of their re- trieval tasks. By logging user interaction, the Learning Server is able to suggest the most suitable interaction tools for each user.
