This paper reports preliminary results from the ArboX project, a two years effort aimed to modernise document searching and delivery among researchers worldwide, broaden the availability of electronic information, and sharpen the independence of the electronic library user. ArboX frees the electronic access of documents from its dependence on closed software and hardware solutions. It is also meant to improve the service by addressing the document exchange needs of a variety of users. The ArboX system is a further step on the evolution of the RandeX system. In the paper we will describe the system architecture and its main characteristics. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 8: 216–220, 2000
