ABSTRACT:       Users of information retrieval systems usually have to
repeat the tedious process of searching, browsing, and refining queries 
until they find relevant documents. This is because different users have 
different information needs, but user queries are often short and, hence, 
ambiguous. In this paper we study personalized search in digital libraries 
using user profile. The search results could be re-ranked by taking into 
account specific information needs of different people. We study many 
methods for this purpose: citation-based method, content-based method and 
hybrid method. We conducted experiments to compare performances of these 
methods. Experimental results show that our approaches are promising and 
applicable in digital libraries.
