This article presents a brief overview of expert agents and assistants, and then discusses activities in several areas of library and information centres where expert systems have been developed and where intelligent agents assistants could be of practical use in such activities. A discussion of what an intelligent agent or assistant might perform in these areas is outlined. http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dbit.16.4.3274
