Structured


Informal 5S & DL DefinitionsDLs are complex systems that

  • help satisfy info needs of users (societies)

  • provide info services (scenarios)

  • organize info in usable ways (structures)

  • present info in usable ways (spaces)

  • communicate info with users (streams)


DLs Support Many User Roles

Digital Libraries (DLs) -- Objectives

  • World Lit.: 24hr / 7day / from desktop

  • Ubiquitous

  • Integrated “super” information systems

  • Usable, Useful

  • Higher Quality, Lower Cost

  • Education, Knowledge Sharing, Discovery

  • Disintermediation -> Collaboration

  • Universities Reclaim Property

  • Interactive Courseware, Student Works


Why of Global Interest?

  • National projects can preserve antiquities and heritage: cultural, historical, linguistic, scholarly

  • Knowledge and information are essential to economic and technological growth, education

  • DL - a domain for international collaboration

    • wherein all can contribute and benefit

    • which leverages investment in networking

    • which provides useful content on Internet & WWW

    • which will tie nations and peoples together more strongly and through deeper understanding

Institutional Repositories - 1

  • “Institutional repositories are digital collections that capture and preserve the intellectual output of a single university or a multiple institution community of colleges and universities.”

  • Crow, R. “Institutional repository checklist and resource guide”, SPARC, Washington, D.C., USA

  • www.arl.org/sparc/IR/IR_Guide_v1.pdf


Institutional Repositories - 2

  • “A university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution.”

  • Lynch, C.A. In ARL Bimonthly Report 226, pp. 1-7, Feb. 2003, www.arl.org/newsltr/226/ir.html
