THE WHOLE DIGITAL LIBRARY HANDBOOK

摘要

The Whole Digital Library Handbook is the latest volume in the American Library Association's Whole Library series. While universal access to information is a main goal, the concept and practice of the digital library is constantly evolving. Divided into eight dense chapters, this book culls and excerpts stand-out articles from professional literature, not only from library journals but from other related professions as well, in order to illuminate the issues and stimulate further discussion. The subjects of the articles are broad and far-reaching, and the authors themselves are esteemed information professionals that include familiar names such as Christine Borgman, Joseph Janes, Gary Marchionini, and Clifford Lynch.
