Product Description
This first-of-its-kind book explores the fast-changing world of international digital libraries -- their current status as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with their continuing development. The book takes readers on a country-by-country tour of digital library projects being created in very different ways worldwide. It covers issues such as language, politics, business practices, the role of libraries in the development of online digital information, and current efforts to make the WWW and various forms of Internet telecommunications more amenable to users of varied skill levels and cultural backgrounds.
