  • From Gutenberg to the Global Information Infrastructure: Access to Information in the Networked World, by Christine L. Borgman, published by MIT Press, March 2000, ISBN: 0-262-02473-X. $42.00.

    This book is the third in the MIT Press series "Digital Libraries and Electronic Publishing". The book focuses on the global information infrastructure (GII) as it affects equal access to information, improvements in computers and information systems, and the trade off between customizing information systems to user needs versus standardizing them for interoperability with other systems. "Topics covered include the design and use of digital libraries; behavioral and institutional aspects of electronic publishing; the evolving role of libraries; the life cycle of creating, using, and seeking information; and the adoption and adaptation of information technologies."

    More information about Dr. Borgman's book may be found at the MIT Press web site <http://mitpress.mit.edu>. (This book is scheduled to be reviewed in a future issue of D-Lib Magazine.)

  • "An Experiment in Using Emulation to Preserve Digital Publications", authored by Jeff Rothenberg and published by The Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Den Haag, April 2000.

    The preface to this report reads:

    "This report presents the results of a small study undertaken by RAND-Europe for the National Library of the Netherlands (the Koninklijke Bibliotheek or "KB") in connection with their work on the NEDLIB (Networked European Deposit Library) effort...jointly funded by the European Commission's Telematics for Libraries Programme. This study was performed as the first phase of a longer term effort by the KB to test and evaluate the feasibility of using emulation as a means for preserving digital publications in accessible, authentic and usable form within a deposit library."

    "Since this report is intended to document the results of this study for the KB, it relies heavily on the KB's understanding of the context in which the study was performed, including issues concerning the background of the problem, the motivation for the study, and the choice of approach and methodology. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the discussion may be of interest to other members of the library community as well as archivists, government recordkeepers, and preservationists concerned with the problem of preserving information in the digital age."

Deadline Reminders

Calls for Participation

  • CACM (Communications of the ACM) Special Digital Library Issue. Call for Contributions for the April 2001 issue. The deadline for submission is 1 August 2000.

    • "In their second decade, digital libraries (DLs) are maturing and widely used. They bring together advances in information retrieval, multimedia, hypertext, HCI, and visualization -- into high-end information systems with seamless interfaces. They combine physical and digital objects, multiple genre, data/information/knowledge, documents/processes/workflows, sensor information/provenance/dynamic simulations, business/academic, and other diverse content. They extend the technology of the book into documents "born digital". Building upon thousands of years of experience in sharing and collaborating with the aid of written documents, they let us preserve and share our cultural heritage. They aid learning and facilitate global understanding. They promote access and aim to ensure equity, obliterating the "digital divide". This special interest will highlight research, development, and practice that illustrate "best practices" regarding integration of technologies and/or building upon desirable values -- leading to the not-too-distant era where enormous stores and ubiquitous access to a world memory support human endeavors."

Goings On

  • Moving Theory Into Practice: Digital Imaging for Libraries and Archives - Workshop, (next session) 31 July - 4 August 2000, Ithaca, New York, USA.

    This workshop is part of a new series with the goal of promoting critical thinking in the technical realm of digital imaging projects and programs. The workshop will be held four times in 2000. In addition to the July/August workshop, sessions will be held 25 - 29 September 2000 and 23 - 27 October 2000, and the workshop will be offered three more times in 2001. You may register now for any of the sessions for which openings remain. Payment must be received six weeks prior to the workshop date, and enrollment is limited.

    The following statement is from the workshop web site: "A prerequisite for attendance will be a Web-accessible, self-directed tutorial that will introduce vocabulary and key concepts, and cover the core components of a technical infrastructure to support digital imaging projects and programs. Completion of the tutorial will assure that workshop participants possess the same base-level knowledge prior to coming to Cornell, enabling them to focus on issues and learning processes best addressed in a limited enrollment seminar."

    The cost of attending the workshop will be reduced because of substantial support for the workshop from the National Endowment for the Humanities. More information about the workshop, including an online application form, is available at <http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/workshop/>.
