  1. An Update on Digital Libraries David Millman Director of Research & Development Academic Information Systems Columbia University dsm@columbia.edu

  2. Today’s Agenda • Historical examples • An architectural way of looking at the territory • Current examples at my institution

  3. Dig Lib History—1 • non-networked: CD’s, videodisk (’80s) • networked • ftp, simtel-20 “archive” • campus-wide information systems • NSF DLI “1” awards (1994) • monolithic systems • comprehensive systems • document processing • architectures • formats (video, GIS, SGML text) • Industry initiatives (mid ’90s) • web site as public presence • unmediated technical libraries • search engines

  4. Dig Lib History—2 • Digital Library Federation (1995) • initially “a dozen” research libraries • provide leadership • NSF DLI “2” awards (1999) • many smaller projects • independent technology & content • Libraries common practices • metadata focus • separation of objects from processes • Industry and higher-ed common practices • workflow / CMS • learning management systems • institutional repositories • archives
