    Digital library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • A digital library is a in which a significant proportion of the resources are available in machine-readable format (as opposed to print or microform), accessible by means of computers.
  • . As such, the cost of maintaining a digital library is much lower than that of a traditional library.
  • . A traditional library must spend large sums of money paying for staff, book maintenance, rent, and additional books.
  • . The user of a digital library need not to go to the library physically; people from all over the world can gain access to the same information, as long as an Internet connection is available.
  • . When a library has no space for extension digitization is the only solution.
  • . A particular digital library can provide a link to any other resources of other digital libraries very easily; thus a seamlessly integrated resource sharing can be achieved.
  • . In theory, the cost of maintaining a digital library is lower than that of a traditional library.
  • . A traditional library must spend large sums of money paying for staff, book maintenance, rent, and additional books.

    A Framework for Digital Library Research: Broadening the Vision
  • | D-Lib Magazine December 2002 Volume 8 Number 12 ISSN 1082-9873 A Framework for Digital Library Research Broadening the Vision University of Maryland <ds52@umail.umd.edu> (This Opinion piece presents the opinions of the author.
  • . It does not necessarily reflect the views of D-Lib Magazine, its publisher, the Corporation for National Research Initiatives, or its sponsor.) Digital library (DL) research and development needs a framework that can be used as a perspective on existing research and practice and, more importantly, as a structured vision for the development of new ideas.
  • . A digital library should provide access to materials and objects and to the tools needed to process and present these materials in ways that serve the user's ultimate purpose.
  • . Now we need to lower the threshold for creating or converting materials and presenting them in meaningfully structured collections—we need a sophisticated digital library toolkit for the masses.
  • . The business model in this case is to make a convincing case for the library's usefulness to the funding organizations.

  • . For example, many of the NZDL's humanitarian collections-such as the Humanity Development Library-are distributed on self-contained CDs to developing countries, and it is more important to maximise the resources available in a single collection than provide multiple collections.

  • . For example, the Africa Collection for Transition contains 300 publications of emergency and disaster management in Sub-Saharan Africa; the Virtual Disaster Library, developed in conjunction with the World Health Organisation, contains 25, 000 pages of information on disaster management and reduction; and the First Aid in Pictures collection illustrates basic first aid techniques by images only.
  • . The collection was originally gathered from dispersed locations in New Zealand and recorded on microfiche, which was then held in the National Library.
