It first introduces different types of recommender systems then discusses the role of context in making recommendations for users searching in digital libraries. This study highlights the important role of context and the need for more investigation on context-aware recommender system since exploiting contextual information in recommender systems is an effective approach to create more accurate and relevant recommendations. The article stresses the need for qualitative research on the subject in order to find out the elements that constitute the context from the users’ viewpoint and the way a context-aware recommender system could be effectively designed.
