The Digital Library of Slovenia (dLib.si)

摘要

The article discusses the ambitious Web site and project Digitalna knjinica Slovenije [Digital Library of Slovenia]. It encompasses periodicals, books, photographs, music scores, posters, maps, and sound recordings. Its stated goal is to provide both global access to, and long-term digital archival preservation of, Slovenia's national heritage. The availability in the DLS of antiquarian books, periodicals, and other formats alongside full-text digital versions of some very prominent current periodicals makes for an intriguing open access hybrid of public domain and copyright-protected materials. The author explains how this has happened.
