| dc.description.abstract |
Digital libraries were viewed as systems providing a community of users with coherent
access to a large, organized repository of information and knowledge. A given digital
library system should provide a coherent, consistent view of as many of these repositories
as possible. From the user’s perspective, to the extent possible, there should appear
to be a single digital library system. Users increasingly have access to various
types of digital collections and information systems: personal information resources,
workgroup and organizational information collections and collaboration environments,
and more public digital libraries. The digital library system needs to extend smoothly
from personal information resources, workgroup and organizational systems, and out
to personal views of the content of more public digital libraries. |
