Abstract
A human library is an activity or event held to improve understanding between different individuals and reduce intergroup prejudice by a face-to-face conversation. For the purpose of promoting the advantages and improving the convenience and availability of the human library, this paper proposes an on-line human library system framework that can be applied to the implementation of moving human libraries from the real world to the digital world.
