case.
Personally, I feel that it's absolutely wonderful that
Hello all Code4Lib folk,
I am putting together a small presentation with the topic about trends and
issues in digital libraries for an interview next month. While I am doing
quite a bit of searching and reading on my own, I wanted to see if any of

Hi Matt,
I gave a related talk in late 2009 -- with an emphasis on the
repository/digital content side of the house -- and many of the slides are
still relevant. Use as much or as little is helpful to you. (FWIW, I was

2. Software

Hi Bess and all,
I would add that we need to strengthen open source governance models.
We have few in the field: Kuali, duraspace, koha-community, Sakai

Just wondering who might be willing to share what kind of stats they

Although it's more anecdotal (rather than statistical), fan mail can
help make a convincing argument that certain services are worth
continuing. Here at our library, I've seen

I'm not sure how exactly this would translate to more traditional
digital library resources (images, audio, text, etc) but with datasets,

Normally I'm more of a text than a video kind of guy, but this is a good
rant that's given me some ideas. Definitely worth a visit for others who
are thinking of this stuff.
The hard part with measuring impact for low use materials is having a good
