For too long,we have conceived and built digital libraries as self-contained worlds consisting of digital object creation,management,discovery,delivery and use—walled gardens in the midst of thriving communities.This model runs counter to an intensively networked world where users encounter information through large discovery systems like Google and Amazon,and where “use” takes place in a variety of environments outside of the systems that manage those resources.As users shift to a networked world,digital libraries are challenged to break with their history of stubborn insularity,to adapt to that world or lose relevance.There is much on the horizon that holds promise for helping digital libraries change and increase their relevance.Wilkin will discuss the current paradigm of digital libraries and the consequences of that paradigm,will discuss the way that we can adapt our work in digital libraries,and will briefly examine specific examples of technologies that can contribute to more successful digital library efforts.
For too long, we have conceived and built digital libraries as self-contained worlds consisting of digital object creation, management, discovery, delivery and use-walled gardens in the midst of thriving communities. This model runs counter to an intensively networked world where users encounter information through large discovery systems like Google and Amazon, and where “use ” takes place in a variety of environments outside of the systems that manage those resources. As users shift to a networked world, digital libraries are challenged to break with their history of stubborn insularity, to adapt to that world or lose relevance. Here is much on the horizon that holds promise for helping digital libraries change and increase their relevance. Will be discuss the current paradigm of digital libraries and the consequences of that paradigm, will discuss the way that we can adapt our work in digital libraries, and will only examine specific examples of technologies that can contribute to mor e successful digital library efforts.
