This article describes the design and development of a virtual library, which pretends to give some contributions to the solution of some problems and issues pointed out in some research projects in this domain. The development of a SOAP/Z39.50 gateway is also described as an intermediary solution for the bibliographic information systems moving to simpler protocols in order to improve interoperability among them, using open technologies like Java and XML.
