Two challenges, however, are the constant change in users' expectations and the increasing volume of information in local repositories. Therefore, as academic and research institutions continue to work on providing online access to primary source materials, they need to integrate effective interaction methods among digital objects, metadata, and user interface. This article provides an overview of the implementation of five features for customizing digital collections Web sites: AutoSuggest, TagCloud, A-Z List, Share-It, and CalView. (Contains 8 figures.)
