| summary |
As we move into the new millennium it is difficult not to fall into a predictive state of mind. To
do this effectively, one needs to look back in order to look forwards in any informed manner.
What follows then is a view of the role of the digital library couched in terms of an examination
and explication of the part of such a library that I have built at the University of Virginia.
The Electronic Text Center, by now a mature service and an ingrained part of our library
system, works well as a testing ground for larger digital library issues and definitions. We are
variously partners, publishers, researchers into issues and librarians serving a user group which
is rapidly diversifying and whose expectations rise constantly. As I look to our achievements
and ambitions, and to those of colleagues in other digital libraries, I see the potentials greatly
outweighing the pitfalls in the fledgling digital libraries and electronic publishing houses, but
both exist in abundance. |
