Digital library and information systems: where are we heading?
Abstract
States that the market for computer systems that manage digital content is currently in turmoil but that the overall direction of both library policy and supplier strategy seems clear – the digital library will play a key role in organizing content and supporting and facilitating access to it. Suggests that digital libraries will become diffuse asset management systems capable of high levels of integration with other learning, management and recreation systems, and that digital libraries will tend increasingly to adopt an ever wider range of platforms and content technologies created for wider commercial and economic purposes.
