Geo-referenced Digital Libraries: Experienced Problems of Purpose and Infrastructure Abstract: This paper analyzes digital library projects from a computing perspective, showing that a strategic collaboration alone is insufficient justification to advance a geo-referenced digital library project, in particular when an institution's resources are incompatible with those of its collaborators. There must be a reasonable likelihood of continued research and development. Reasonable commitment and basic and feasible computing infrastructures are necessary to begin. Although it is rare to report the negative aspects of a project, the author believes that we often learn more from our failures. Lessons reported here provide opportunities for learning. | |

Abstract: This article examines inflationary trends in serial pricing and how the accompanying phenomenon of the Internet and the migration of serials from print to digital format reshuffle the organization of editing, publishing, disseminating and preserving serials. The structure of scholarly communication has not fundamentally changed but financial pressures have led to innovative solutions to the traditional problems of peer-review, scholarly authority, and the acquisition and archiving of information. The ubiquity of e-serials changes the way libraries assess their collections and make them available. | |
