Designing, Implementing, and Maintaining Digital Library Services and Collections with MyLibrary Eric Lease

In a library setting, especially an academic library setting, these four groups of people — library administrators, librarians, systems administrators, and programmers — have more things in common than differences. They all have ultimate goals surrounding the collection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of data and information for the purposes of facilitating learning, teaching, and research. This set of common goals binds the group and provides a sense of direction. The group’s complementary sets of skills, knowledge, and expertise ensure the system’s functionality and usability. Everybody has something to offer, and everybody’s talents are required to make the implementation of a digital library a success. mylibrary-manual1
