| Archive is InfoPort™’s lending library for software,
hard copies, electronic files, bookmarks, books and
magazines. |
| With Archive we can manage all printed and electronic
material of a business enterprise. Archive is InfoPort™’s
lending library. This virtual lending library aims at
giving any time information to the user, about the
availability of relevant business resources; in
particular, whether the requested material is available,
whether it is in printed / electronic format, where is
its physical location, etc. |
|
In case the user is interested in the above – mentioned
information, he is able to address the Archive
administrator. In other words, the Archive administrator
is the administrator of the lending library. In turn,
the administrator of the lending library will process
the request of the user, lending him the printed or
electronic material, for a particular period of time. On
the other hand, the user has to return the borrowed item
to the lending library, before a certain time is due. |

The Archive menu is divided in two parts: the upper part
“Search”, “My Archive” (Pending requests, Borrowed
items) is available to the users of the lending library,
whereas the lower part, “Archive management” (New item,
Unprocessed requests, On loan, Time expired, Search,
Configure, Keywords) is only available to the
administrator of the lending library. |

Exchange of information about printed or electronic
material that belongs to the lending library of a
business enterprise is a typical case of
group
collaboration. In other words, InfoPort™’s Archive
promotes group
collaboration, enabling users to online check the
availability of knowledge resources, contact the
administrator and request an item. On the other hand,
the administrator of the lending library is able to
check on the list of requests that are still
unprocessed, view the items that are borrowed and
contact users that have not yet returned time expired
items. All modules of InfoPort™ and in particular Archive
serves as a group
collaboration platform. |
