- Nowadays, when we talk about database networking, we have to trace back the origin of it and have a look at the future, “beyond the outlined horizons”, in order to point out new strategies. The various models of database networking systems refer to different ways of “communication of information”; the old systems are based on static informative systems while the more updated ones are characterized by the modularity of the informative dynamic offer. Not only have the current systems to be equipped with additional functionalities in order to be competitive in this challenge, but also they have to integrate with other tools in order to communicate from the point of view of the interaction with the OPAC and the full-text of the electronic journals. The emergence of new products, which provide additional on-line information services using integrated push and pull technology (for example, SpotLight services, A&I and Awareness), leads to a new dynamicity in the informative interaction. Now, it is the information that reaches the user according to predefined strategies thorough systems that periodically send via e-mail the results of the bibliographic search for a journal or a subject to the subscribed user. Therefore, if we consider database networking systems as organized groups of databases within circumscribed nets, the challenge is still open. If we pay attention to what is “outside”, we can imagine the future winners of this match, yet to be played, where the libraries will play a fundamental role within the communication systems in which the information is conveyed.
