Library Technology Trends
Published in August 2002, the white paper from Sun Microsystems examines technology
trends in digital libraries. It starts with a discussion of the fundamentals
of building a digital collection and how practices have evolved in the past few
years. The paper notes a few pioneering efforts that were originally intended
for the preservation of historical works, and in doing so, underscores the importance
of digital library design. By using several different sites as examples, the
paper describes how digital libraries are implemented. The document concludes
with a look at how future technologies will impact the creation and organization
of digital libraries.
