Book excerpt: Library standardization plays a vital role in effectively managing and optimizing library resources and services. It involves the establishment and adoption of common frameworks, guidelines, and practices within the library domain, aiming to ensure consistency, interoperability, and collaboration among libraries. By implementing uniform standards, libraries can enhance the process of resource discovery, facilitate seamless information exchange, and provide users with effortless access to information.

Metadata standards provide a consistent structure and format for describing library resources, enabling efficient resource discovery and sharing. Cataloging rules offer guidelines for uniform bibliographic description and organization, simplifying cataloging and retrieval of materials. Classification systems provide standardized schemes for organizing resources by subject, enhancing their discoverability. Additionally, ensuring interoperability among library systems and technologies is crucial for seamless integration and information exchange.

Book excerpt: Digital Libraries: Policy, Planning and Practice brings together a wealth of international experience in the planning and implementation of digital and hybrid library projects, providing a stimulating and informative handbook and reference for library staff and information managers. It consists of chapters contributed by leading specialists from Europe, North America, South Africa and the Middle East, who offer their insight into the decision-making processes that have shaped a variety of different digitization programmes. Beginning with introductory overviews of the digital library context, the US Digital Library Program and the UK e-lib and hybrid library programmes, Digital Libraries then divides into two main sections on policy and planning, and implementation and practice. The first explores concerns such as financial and resource planning, digitized compared to born-digital content and related service issues, open access to scholarly research archives, policies for and against preservation and their justification, and evaluating electronic information services. The second section is based on case studies on major European and North American digital library projects, including the Glasgow Digital Library, UCEEL (University of Central England Electronic Library), the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (discussed in the context of five international projects), the Indiana University music Variations and Variations2 Project, and the beginnings of the Library of Congress digital program and its integration into core library services. The concluding chapter discusses the way forward for digital libraries in the context of experiences at Tilburg University library, and possible enabling or limiting factors in the future.
