  • Emphasizing broad, institutional strategy over technological tactics, the editors have done an excellent job in creating a consistent tone across the book. The essays are pitched at the level of management or administration, following the status of the majority of the authors as university librarians or professors. This book is an ideal purchase for those wishing to define and clarify the debates over digital library approaches in education....Digital Library Development provides an excellent survey of important trends for librarians to consider when planning a digital library program.

Description: The Kanazawa Institute of Technology is Japan's largest institution of higher education specializing in engineering and technology. It is a world leader and collaborator in electronic initiatives, often on the forefront of systems design and telecommunications advancement. It is also the site of an annual symposium series on digital library development. Marcum and George have pulled together an international cadre of leading thinkers and experimenters, all of whom have participated in these symposia, to provide their considered opinions concerning the influence of digital technology on teaching and learning in general, and the role of the library in the educational enterprise in particular. Their contributions have, in turn, been arranged into four thematic groupings, which range from envisioning the future, and facing major challenges, to creating projects and programs, and developing digital libraries. An informative read for anyone involved in higher education.
