The goal of Digital Libraries: Principles and Practice in a
Global Environment is to introduce readers to the principles underlying digital
libraries, as well as to illustrate these principles by reference to a wide
range of digital library practices throughout the world. Individual chapters
deal with digital library users and the services that are offered them,
information sources typically found in digital libraries, the standards and
protocols with which digital libraries must cope in the context of
interoperability, the software that can be used in the development of digital
libraries, interface design, searching and browsing digital library
collections, and managing digital libraries, including discussion of intellectual
property rights and preservation issues. A final chapter comprises eight case
studies drawn from Canada, England, India, Italy, Singapore, Sri Lanka, the US
and Wales that are 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.
