Subject: JoDI: Interactivity in Digital Libraries special issue
Journal of Digital Information announces
A SPECIAL ISSUE on Interactivity in Digital Libraries
(Volume 2, issue 4, June 2002)
Special issue Editors: Anita Coleman and Maliaca Oxnam, University of
Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA
From the special issue editorial
Advances in Internet technologies have made it seemingly possible and easy
to create digital collections, repositories and libraries. However,
facilitating interaction beyond searching and browsing is in the early
stages. Interactive digital libraries are still evolving.
The problems facing digital library design can be reframed as three
challenges, in the areas of:
* Information Spaces
* Learning Spaces
* Interaction Spaces
The information-learning-interaction spaces challenge provides a framework
and directs digital library research and development to the human rather
than just the technical problems. It is also grounded in the realization
that libraries, whether they are digital or traditional, are socially
constructed, and that the values of a society are embodied in the use of a
library. We invite the community to discuss and explore. The papers in this
issue show how current projects and initiatives are handling some of the
challenges.
