Digital Libraries (Mischo, W.)
- I wish Mischo explicitly explained what the difference is between providing access to a digital collection and providing digital library services.
- For the Illinois journals project, what exactly makes their collection of e-content a digital library? How is it different from merely providing access to these journals on the Internet?
Dewey Meets Turing (Paepcke, A., et al.)
- Interesting that this articles claims that the unification of librarians and computer scientists is a “matchmaking coup.” I’ve heard that students in the IS program don’t consider the MLIS program a “hard science,” though I don’t think any of us consider ourselves “hard scientists.” This highlights how there definitely needs to be better relationships between librarians and computer scientists in order to move libraries into the future.
Institutional Repositories (Lynch, C.)
- Based on the previous article, I would be curious to know whether Lynch is writing this article from the computer scientist perspective, the librarian perspective, or an entirely different perspective?
- Academic libraries are mentioned when it comes to digital libraries, but what about other types of libraries (medical, public, school, special, etc.)?
