Description
Given modern society's need to control its ever-increasing body of information, digital libraries will be among the most important
and influential institutions of this century. With their versatility, accessibility, and economy, these focused collections of everything
digital are fast becoming the "banks" in which the world's wealth of information is stored.
How to Build a Digital Library
is the only book that offers all the knowledge and tools needed to construct and maintain a digital library-no matter how large
or small. Two internationally recognized experts provide a fully developed, step-by-step method, as well as the software that makes it
all possible. How to Build a Digital Library is the perfectly self-contained resource for individuals, agencies, and institutions
wishing to put this powerful tool to work in their burgeoning information treasuries.
Audience
librarians and digital librarians, corporate librarians, multimedia professionals, upper division or graduate-level students in digital
libraries, multimedia, and information retrieval in Library Science, Computer Science, or Information Science departments and schools.
