Digital Libraries and Digitisation: An Overview and Critique (EJ795393) Rikowski, Ruth Policy Futures in Education, v6 n1 p5-21 2008 Abstract: This article provides an overview of some of the main areas surrounding the broad topic of "Digital Libraries". This includes the advantages and costs of digitisation; the traditional and digital library; the library community and digitisation; and an examination of various digital library projects. It is not exhaustive, but hopefully, it provides some general information and guidelines for the reader. The article concludes with a critique within a social and political angle, including a consideration of the gender issue. (Contains 1 note.)
