| Abstract | With the large amount of books available nowadays, users are overwhelmed with choices when they attempt to find books of interest. While existing book recommendation systems, which are based on either collaborative filtering, content-based, or hybrid methods, suggest books (among the millions available) that might be appealing to the users, their recommendations are not personalized enough to meet users' expectations due to their collective assumption on group preference and/or exact content matching, which is a failure. To address this problem, we have developed PReF, a Personalized Recommender that relies on Friendships established by user son a social website, such as Library Thing, to make book recommendations tailored to individual users. In selecting books to be recommended to a user U, who is interested in a book B, PReF (i) considers books belonged to U's friends, (ii) applies word-correlation factors to disclose books similar in contents to B, (iii)depends on the ratings given to books by U's friends to identify highly-regarded books, and (iv) determine show reliable individual friends of U are in providing books from their own catalogs (that are similar in content to B)to be recommended. We have conducted an empirical study and verified that (i) relying on data extracted from social websites improves the effectiveness of book recommenders and (ii) PReF outperforms the recommenders employed by Amazon and Library Thing. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
