The combination of current research and practical guidelines is a unique strength of this book. The authors bring in-depth expertise on different dgtl library issues and synthesize theoretical and practical perspectives relevant to researchers, practitioners, and students.The book presents a comprehensive overview of the different approaches and tools for dgtl library development, including discussions of the social and legal issues associated with dgtl libraries. Readers will find current research and the best practices of dgtl libraries, providing both US and international perspectives on the development of dgtl libraries and their components, including collection, digitization, metadata, interface design, sustainability, preservation, retrieval, and evaluation of dgtl libraries.- Offers an overview of dgtl libraries and the conceptual and practical understanding of dgtl libraries- Presents the lifecycle of dgtl library design, use, preservation and evaluation, including collection development, digitization of static and multimedia resources, metadata, dgtl library development and interface design, dgtl information searching, dgtl preservation, and dgtl library evaluation- Synthesizes current research and the best practices of dgtl libraries, providing both US and international perspectives on the development of dgtl libraries- Introduces new developments in the area of dgtl libraries, such as large-scale dgtl libraries, social media applications in dgtl libraries, multilingual dgtl libraries, dgtl curation, linked data, rapid capture, guidelines for the digitization of multimedia resources- Highlights the impact, challenges, suggestions for overcoming these challenges, and trends of present and future development of dgtl librariesOffers a comprehensive bibliography for each chapter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Xie is a Professor in the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She has been actively involved in the teaching and research of dgtl library design and evaluation for about 15 years. Her research interests and expertise focus on dgtl libraries, interactive information retrieval, human-computer interaction, as well as user needs and user studies. She has received several research grants from research grant programs for the study of dgtl libraries. She is the principal investigator for the Institute for Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant \"Designing Interactive Help Mechanisms for Novice Users of Dgtl Libraries and for the Online Computer Library Center\/the Association for Library and Information Science Education grant \"Universal Accessibility of Dgtl Libraries: Design of help mechanisms for blind users. In addition, she is one of the senior personnel on the National Science Foundation Grant \"The Internet Research Ethics Dgtl Library, Interactive Resource Center and Advisory Center.\" Her research projects range from the identification of types of sighted users and blind users' help-seeking situations in interacting with dgtl libraries as well as implications for interface design, dgtl library evaluation criteria and measures from different stakeholders of dgtl libraries, and social media applications in dgtl libraries. She has a strong publishing record in the field of library and information science. This book project is a natural progression in the active focus of Dr. Xie's research, as she has conducted a series of highly cited studies on dgtl libraries, published numerous papers in top-ranking journals, and presented at several national and international conferences. Her book \"Interactive Information Retrieval in Dgtl Environments was published in 2008, and the subject of dgtl libraries is one of the main topics covered in the book.Dr. Matusiak is an Assistant Professor in the Library \u0026amp; Information Science Program at the University of Denver. Her research interests focus on digitization of cultural heritage materials, indexing and retrieval of dgtl images, information behavior, use of dgtl libraries, and research methods. She combines practical experience in digitization and dgtl collections with research interests in use and evaluation of dgtl libraries. She has been involved in digitization of cultural heritage materials since 2001. Prior to accepting her position at the University of Denver, she worked as a Dgtl Collections Librarian at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she planned and designed over 20 distinct dgtl collections. She served as a co-investigator of the digitization project, funded by the National Endowment for Humanities, \"Saving and Sharing the American Geographical Society Library's Historic Nitrate Negative Images. She also served as a digitization consultant for projects funded by the Endangered Archive Programme at the British Library and assisted dgtl library projects at the Press Institute of Mongolia in Ulan Baatar, Mongolia and the Al-Aqsa Mosque Library in East Jerusalem. Her research projects include studies of information seeking behavior in dgtl collections, use of image and multimedia resources, and user interaction with large-scale dgtl libraries. She has published a number of articles on those topics and presented at national and international conferences. Dr. Matusiak contributes to this book her expertise in digitization, audiovisual materials, metadata, dgtl preservation, dgtl library management systems as well as her practical knowledge in building and managing dgtl collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIris Xie, Krystyna Matusiak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780124201057\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElsevier Science\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07\/26\/2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e388 pages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"book","offer_id":50588639821986,"sku":"9780124201057","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/7059\/1650\/files\/9780124201057_p0.jpg?v=1791546101","url":"https:\/\/styleando.com\/products\/discover-dgtl-libraries-theory-and-practice-9780124201057","provider":"styleando","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
