Deep Infrastructure Supports Digital Library Services - Paul Conway, Syllabus
Libraries have always been central to the exchange of knowledge, but never have they been closer to the creation and dissemination of scholarly content, and to the fundamental processes of teaching and learning. Duke University has recognized the strategic importance of the digital library as a change agent. Everybody wants a digital library, or so they think. The term “digital library” has become synonymous with technological innovation in higher education. With a decade of support from governments and private foundations in an international context, digital libraries are maturing as both a metaphor for digital collections and services, and as a framework for advances in computer and information sciences. Digital libraries may prove to be tremendous forces for needed change in teaching and learning and, particularly, for the transformation of the roles that traditional libraries play on and off campus. Duke University is embracing digital library services as a strategic mechanism for advancing deep information technology infrastructure on campus.
