| Scope: |
This study was concerned with
exploring the issues that must be dealt with in digitizing library
collections, and examined current efforts to build digital libraries,
technology and techniques used to digitize collections, access means
and systems, and future directions for digital libraries. In the course
of the study, I surveyed Web sites and periodical literature for relevant
materials and documented the sources at this site. |
