Research Questions for the Digital Era Library.

Marcum, Deanna B.

Library Trends, v51 n4 p636-51 Spr 2003

Examines three essential questions and suggests areas for research in each: (1) How are digital resource users best served: What resources will they want? How will they want to use them? What services will most enhance use? (2) What elements are required for a coherent preservation strategy covering resources both digital and traditional? (3) What kinds of education will "librarians" of the future need? (Author/AEF)
