One way is through selectivity: a carefully chosen set of authoritative documents in a particular topic area is far more useful to those working in the area than a huge, unfocused collection (like the Web). Another is by augmenting the collection with high- quality metadata, which supports activities of searching and browsing in a uniform and useful way.
