Introduction to Digital Libraries
While I was a little bit disappointed about the lack of in-depth detail, I must say that _Digital Libraries_ provides an excellent overview of the range of issues surrounding managed collections of digital information.Arms covers everything from the economic and legal issues (nice coverage of the issues involved for publishers!) to the concepts behind object models and structural metadata. The book finishes with a glossary which should prove useful to those trying to wade through the alphabet soup around asset management and digital library technology. Given that this is an overview, I missed a good bibliography for people interested in taking any of the topics in the book to a deeper level.
