title = "Building large-scale digital libraries",
abstract = "Digital libraries basically store materials in electronic format and manipulate large collections of those materials effectively. Therefore research into digital libraries is really research into network information systems. The key technological issues are how to search and display desired selections from and across large collections. While practical digital libraries must focus on issues of access costs and digitization technology, digital library research concentrates on how to develop the necessary infrastructure to effectively mass-manipulate the information on the Net.",

note = "Funding Information: The Diaital Librarv Initiative is monsored bv the National Science Coundatioi, Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from September 1994to August 1998.T he initiative's focus is to dramatically advance the means to collect, store, and organize information in digital forms, and make it available for searching, retrieval, and processing via communication networks. Readers can contact individual projects at the fol- lowing addresses. The Web pages contain extensive and current project information. Funding Information: Digital library research projects thus have a common theme of bringing search to the Net. This is why the US government made digital libraries the flagship research effort for the National Information Infrastructure (NII), which seeks to bring the highways of knowledge to every American. As a result, the four-year, multiagency DLI was funded with roughly $1m il-lion per year for each project (see the “Agency perspectives” sidebar). Six projects (chosen from 73 proposals) are involved in the DLI, which is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This issue of Computer includes project reports from these six university sites: Carnegie Mellon University, University of California at Berkeley, University of California at Santa Barbara, - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 9 University of Michigan, and Stanford University.",
