UC System Launches California Digital Library

UC System Launches California Digital Library by George Soete, Transforming Libraries Editor The University of California is creating what may eventually be a miracle: a truly comprehensive, integrated approach to electronic scholarly publication that will directly serve its more than 200, 000 faculty, staff, and students, and potentially a much broader segment of the state's citizenry.

. The California Digital Library is the first step in the University's multifaceted Library of Tomorrow initiative that is sparking great excitement throughout the institution and gaining strong support from a broad constituency.

. Funding for the California Digital Library was approved for 1997/98 and a new University Librarian/Executive Director is currently being recruited.

. The Library of Tomorrow initiative had a slow birth, beginning during the late 1980s/early `90s with the realization that the University's pioneering 1977 Plan was no longer working in the emerging environment.

. The story is a familiar one to most academic research libraries: library materials prices and technological advances were outstripping the UC libraries' ability to adequately meet the needs of students and researchers.
