Digital Library Futures: User perspectives and institutional strategies

by Ingeborg Verheul, Anna Maria Tammaro, Steve Witt

Overview

Leading academic researchers from the cultural heritage and the publishers sectors approach this issue:

• Digital library user experience: a focus on current user research;
• Digital library content: what users want and how they use it;
• Strategies for institutions: how cultural institutions and publishers respond to the digital challenge.
