Summary

Your host, Steve Worona, will be joined by David Millman, and the topic will be "An Update on Digital Libraries."

People mean a number of different things when they discuss “digital library” activities, including scholarly communication and publishing, teaching and learning, content management, archives, technology, privacy, licensing, digital preservation, digital rights management, and infrastructure. In this session, we will cover some of these issues as well as specific projects now underway to address them.
