Synopsis

This essential bundle is a perfectly self-contained resource for anyone working or studying in the field of digital libraries.

How to Build a Digital Library offers all the knowledge and tools needed to construct and maintain a digital library-no matter how large or small. Two internationally recognized experts provide a fully developed, step-by-step method, as well as the software that makes it all possible.

Understanding Digital Libraries is devoted to both technology and the human context of digital libraries; it examines issues such as media requirements, indexing and classification, networks and distribution, presentation, usability, preservation, scientific applications, and thorny legal and economic questions.

Bundled together to save you money, this is the quickest and cheapest way to meet all your informational needs on digital libraries.
