This fully revised and updated second edition of Understanding
Digital Libraries focuses on the challenges faced by both
librarians and computer scientists in a field that has been
dramatically altered by the growth of the Web.
At every turn, the goal is practical: to show you how things you
might need to do are already being done, or how they can be done.
The first part of the book is devoted to technology and examines
issues such as varying media requirements, indexing and
classification, networks and distribution, and presentation. The
second part of the book is concerned with the human contexts in
which digital libraries function. Here you ll find specific and
useful information on usability, preservation, scientific
applications, and thorny legal and economic questions.
- Thoroughly updated and expanded from original edition to include
recent research, case studies and new technologies
- For librarians and technologists alike, this book provides a
thorough introduction to the interdisciplinary science of digital
libraries
- Written by Michael Lesk, a legend in computer science and a
leading figure in the digital library field.
- Provides insights into the integration of both the technical and
non-technical aspects of digital libraries"
