Libraries are places to share and to exchange information. As well, e-libraries can facilitate information access to digital documents and then improve knowledge exchanges and social interaction between members of communities on the Web. This article presents AnT&CoW (annotation tool for collaborative work), an annotation plug-in. Its design is based on scenarios. AnT&CoW supports discussions between users of an e-library; it enables document and annotation indexation according to a community classification schemes. User interactions might result in new document creation, so the tool also supports document creation
