Keywords: Digital/Virtual Libraries (Projects and Initiatives)

Author:Daniel Greenstein and Suzanne E. Thorin
Abstract:This report describes the maturation of digital libraries. Section one describes the three stages of digital library growth: young--lexperimental and opportunistic in outlook; mature--has core competencies, focus on the integration of digital materials into the library's collections, and develops and supports the requisite policies, technical capabilities, and professional skills to sustain its services; and adult--exists only in theory at the moment, however, it is predicted to be more integrated into the library with funding and support coming from numerous budgets rather than one. The second section of the report describes six case studies of digital library development at six institutions.
