New kinds of information providers are available online, traditional libraries follow and offer their services via the WWW. However, this development will not come without a price: Literature supply is changing into an open and competitive information market bringing new challenges to the user. To derive the whole benefit from the new situation in the electronic literature market, the user needs assistance from an integration environment. This environment regains the transparency in the information market so that the user receives comparable offers, and integrates different services of scientific literature search and delivery under a uniform user interface. To provide such an environment is the aim of the UniCats project.
