| Title: | Digital Library as Network and Community Center: A Successful Model for Contribution and Use (ID: CSD4744) | | Author(s): | Sean Fox (Carleton College) | | Topics: | Digital Collections, Digital Libraries, Digital Library Services, Electronic Publishing, Electronic Resources, Libraries and Technology, Library Projects | | Source: | D-Lib Magazine | | Origin: | Community Contributions (2006) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | The following article describes work on implementing a community DL model through a set of services that enabled geoscience education projects to collectively build the Teach the Earth educational digital library. The focus is on three aspects of this work: 1) facilitating community publishing, 2) creating a navigational and organizational framework that integrates the work of all included projects into a DL, 3) and identifying the ways in which the network centric DL that results from these efforts meets users' needs by complementing their natural search behaviors. | | View this resource: | |
