This book introduces readers to the principles underlying digital
libraries, illustrating these principles by reference to a wide
range of digital library practices throughout the world. Individual
chapters deal with issues such as: digital library users and the
services that are offered to them, the standards and protocols with
which digital libraries must operate in order to cooperate with
other institutions, and issues such as the administration of
digital libraries, including discussion of intellectual property
rights and preservation issues. A final chapter comprises eight
case studies drawn from all over the world, used to illustrate
points made in earlier chapters. Throughout the book, the
challenges of developing and implementing digital library systems
in multilingual and multicultural environments are explored.
