Popis: OCLC offers Electronic Journals Online, a service which provides access to electronic journals and high-quality display of text and graphics. The primary method of searching and displaying articles is through a proprietary client called Guidon, which is programmed in C++ and runs under MS Windows and on the Macintosh. The advent of Java support within World Wide Web browsers offers the possibility of re-implementing the features of Guidon in Java applets. This would enable OCLC to offer access to our existing databases without requiring users to load specialized software. As a research project we developed a prototype version of a document viewer in Java.
