Abstract

The article presents an overview of the main criteria used by the technical literature in the area of Information Science for analysis and comparison of digital libraries information systems. Points out the features of these criteria, seeking to detail their analytical dimensions, potential and limitations. From this review, the paper proposes a set of analytical dimensions inspired by the Information Architecture theory to organize and complement these systems comparison criteria. It suggests some new analytic dimensions derived from the new social web interaction paradigms and concludes by proposing an integrated set of criteria organized by dimensions that should be taken into account when comparing and analyzing information of digital library systems.
