Digital library economics: international perspectives -The Australian perspective


This paper discusses an Australian perspective of digital library economics.
Introduction: definition and scope
In 1998 the Digital Library Federation offered the following definition of digital libraries :
Digital libraries are organizations that provide the resources, including the specialized staff, to select, structure, offer intellectual access to, interpret, distribute, preserve the integrity of, and ensure the persistence over time of collections of digital works so that they are readily and economically available for use by a defined community or set of communities .(Council on Library and Information Resources,1998)

Since 1996 the National Library of Australia has been developing and maintaining PANDORA, an archive of selected, significant Australian web sites and web-based online publications6. The purpose of PANDORA is to ensure that Australians of the future will be able to access a significant component of today’s Australian web based information resources.
Because of the high cost of selective web archiving, it makes sense for one agency (such as a national library) to develop both the expertise and the infrastructure for web archiving, and for other agencies to leverage off this investment. Accordingly, PANDORA is a collaborative activity, as the archive is being built by the Aust ....
