From blogs to Wikis, highlights include: * Digitization project planning tips and tools * 13 ways of looking at digital preservation * Gary Price's 8 tips to make change * The value proposition of the digital library * Lists of Internet libraries, libraries that I.M., libraries that podcast * Interpretations of NextGen demographic data * Prominent librarians' perspectives on Amazoogle Collecting insights from library luminaries as well the perspectives of interesting experts from outside the ranks of library professionals, The Whole Digital Library Handbook decodes the jargon and cuts to the chase. Digital libraries are all about access to information, and this is the one-volume resource that puts it all in perspective. |
