Tolimac (Total Library Management Concept) is an Internet based system for providing controlled access to networked information resources, particularly electronic document delivery (EDD). The system, based on smart cards and PINs (Personal Identification Number), encryption technology and an architecture is designed so that the library acts as an intermediary between the user and the document supplier, addresses three EDD problem areas facing libraries: computer security with regard to open networks (confidentiality, identification, authentication and document integrity); user authorization; and cost recovery. The prototype was evaluated by the Tolimac Consortium at three libraries: Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB); George Edwards Library, University of Surrey; and University College Dublin (UCD); results from the first two sites only being reported in this article. User based performance evaluation, at ULB and Surrey was achieved using the Performance Measurement Method (PMM), whereas Dublin used the SUMI (Software Usability Measurement Inventory) evaluation method. Overall reaction to the Tolimac system was positive and users thought that the system was easy to use and were happy with the response time the smart card access.
