Industry Reviews
"...with such a broad range of content and very recent research included, this book would definitely be useful to librarians doing work related to digital libraries...It would also make a very appropriate textbook for an introduction to digital libraries."
-- Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship"Professors Chowdhury and Foo are to be commended on assembling this thoughtful body of work on digital libraries from around the world. The volume is a valuable addition to library collections, digital and otherwise."
-- Christine L Borgman"...a stimulating book that covers the field very well."
-- Journal of Librarianship and Information Science"Chowdhury and Foo have shaped a compilation of thoughtful approaches to current issues in digital libraries as they relate to information access. The authors throughout provide numerous opportunities to extend the reader's exploration of these topics by virtue of well-chosen case studies, timely examples, and identified trends, as well as the comprehensive bibliographies included with each chapter. Readers seeking to better understand the fundamentals of how users engage with digital libraries as well as gain a contextual grasp on both the historic and contemporary attendant research will be able to satisfy both of these goals."
-- Library Resources and Technical Services"Digital Libraries and Information Access is a mine of information...Chapters are consistently and helpfully laid out, each with an introduction which functions as an abstract, a summary to remind us what we have just read, and at least two pages of references. Descriptions, evaluations, comparisons and case studies are present in abundance, and these assist with general readability. This is a book by experts, clearly written, with an authoritative yet accessible tone, and a useful index. It is highly recommended."
