Digital Libraries - Seminar Details
Wednesday 17th May 2000, 10.30 am - 4.30 pm
The Internet is the basis for a global digital library. Such a library
is not just to do with digitising books and works of art, but to also
provide a means of global communication that is not attainable with
traditional libraries. There is a danger that such a repository of data
can lead to information overload if appropriate mechanisms are not in
place to use them effectively. This seminar looks at the technologies
needed to construct such a library.
