If You Build It, Will They Come? Participant Involvement in Digital Libraries - Sarah Giersch et al, D-Lib Magazine
Educational digital libraries are faced with several challenges, among them: to be widely adopted; to contribute meaningfully to educational improvements; and to thrive following start-up funding. They also have the potential to be more than simply a collection of resources. Educational DLs have the potential be the junction for active, engaged communities. While there are several public and private sector models for building and maintaining DLs, a model that involves participants who have varying strengths, needs, experiences, and interests should make a significant difference in the design, development, and utility of educational DLs. Development of a model or models that describe participant involvement should enhance the likelihood that multiple audiences and constituencies can be effectively involved in all facets of educational DLs.
