I wonder why the Library of Congress was not involved in the first Digital Libraries Initiative. Were/are librarians overlooked when it comes to information technology?
Dewey meets Turing
This article answers my previous question about librarians’ role in the development of information technology. It paints a static picture of the profession slow to adapt to new developments.
Institutional Repositories
The author raises good points on digital repositories about how they should be managed and what their impact can be on scholarship. I will be interested to see what kind of partnerships are formed between universities and other institutions to document the community they share. The one topic I wish he could have explained more was how access to online archives collections would be administered.
I would like to know more about your question in your first comment. I think you are on a good point.
