Digital Libraries: Policy, Planning and Practice brings together a
wealth of international experience in the planning and
implementation of digital and hybrid library projects, providing a
stimulating and informative handbook and reference for library
staff and information managers. It consists of chapters contributed
by leading specialists from Europe, North America, South Africa and
the Middle East, who offer their insight into the decision-making
processes that have shaped a variety of different digitization
programmes. Beginning with introductory overviews of the digital
library context, the US Digital Library Program and the UK e-lib
and hybrid library programmes, Digital Libraries then divides into
two main sections on policy and planning, and implementation and
practice. The first explores concerns such as financial and
resource planning, digitized compared to born-digital content and
related service issues, open access to scholarly research archives,
policies for and against preservation and their justification, and
evaluating electronic information services. The second section is
based on case studies on major European and North American digital
library projects, including the Glasgow Digital Library, UCEEL
(University of Central England Electronic Library), the Networked
Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (discussed in the
context of five international projects), the Indiana University
music Variations and Variations2 Project, and the beginnings of the
Library of Congress digital program and its integration into core
library services. The concluding chapter discusses the way forward
for digital libraries in the context of experiences at Tilburg
University library, and possible enabling or limiting factors in
the future. The result of drawing together these varied and
illuminating experiences is a book that offers useful information
and comparisons for all digital library project staff,
institutional administrators, educators and developers of learning
technology. It also provides useful pointers for researchers and
project staff involved in archive and museum projects, as well as
introducing students to the key ingredients of successful digital
libraries.
