“…The overview articles, such as Borgman(1999) and Schwartz (2000), tended to be assigned near the beginning of the semester, and were presumably assigned as a method for the instructor to introduce the broad topic of DLs. Articles on specific topics, such as Arms, Blanchi & Overly (1997) and Lynch (2005), were assigned, presumably, as a method for the instructor to introduce that specific topic.…”

This paper identifies the "state of the art" in digital library education in Library and Information Science programs, by identifying the readings that are assigned in digital library courses and the topics of these readings. The most frequently-assigned readings are identified at multiple units of analysis, as are the topics on which readings are most frequently assigned. While no core set of readings emerged, there was significant consensus on the authors to be included in digital library course reading assignments, as well as the topics to be covered. Implications for the range of assigned readings and topics for digital library education in library science education are discussed.

“…The early work of Arms et al [9] reports an experimental system developed by the National Digital Library Project (NDLP) at the Library of Congress. The work described how technical building blocks are used to organize collections of material and how these methods fit into a general distributed computing framework.…”

Large scale digitization projects have been conducted at digital libraries to preserve cultural artifacts and to provide permanent access.The increasing amount of digitized resources, including scanned books and scientific publications, requires development of tools and methods that will efficiently analyze and manage large collections of digitized resources. In this work, we tackle the problem of extracting metadata from scanned volumes of journals. Our goal is to extract information describing internal structures and content of scanned volumes, which is necessary for providing effective content access functionalities to digital library users.We propose methods for automatically generating volume level, issue level, and article level metadata based on format and text features extracted from OCRed text. We show the performance of our system on scanned bound historical documents nearly two centuries old. We have developed the system and integrated it into an operational digital library, the Internet Archive, for realworld usage.

“…The technical design of a digital library is reviewed by Arms (1995), and set out in more detail by Kahn and Wilensky (1995) and Arms et al (1997). Just as a conventional research library stores more than just books, so the digital library will store many types of digital material, including text, pictures, musical works, computer programs, databases, models and designs, video programs and compound works containing many types of information.…”
