By Katherine Skinner, Martin Halbert

This selection of essays on maintaining electronic libraries is a record of early findings from pioneers who've labored to set up electronic libraries, no longer in simple terms as experimental initiatives, yet as ongoing prone and collections meant to be sustained over the years in methods in keeping with the long-held practices of print-based libraries. fairly in this interval of maximum technological transition, it's principal that courses around the kingdom - and certainly the area - actively percentage their concepts, stories, and methods with a purpose to commence cultivating new usual practices.
