- Digital Libraries and Digitisation: An Overview and Critique Rikowski, Ruth Electronic Libraries Media Adaptation Costs Public Agencies Preservation Libraries Electronic Publishing Books Programs Disproportionate Representation Females Information Technology Political Issues Social Problems This article provides an overview of some of the main areas surrounding the broad topic of "Digital Libraries". This includes the advantages and costs of digitisation; the traditional and digital library; the library community and digitisation; and an examination of various digital library projects. It is not exhaustive, but hopefully, it provides some general information and guidelines for the reader. The article concludes with a critique within a social and political angle, including a consideration of the gender issue. (Contains 1 note.)
