Digital Library Use

Social Practice in Design and Evaluation
Edited by Ann Peterson Bishop, Nancy A. Van House and Barbara P. Buttenfield

The contributors to this volume view digital libraries (DLs) from a social as well as technological perspective. They see DLs as sociotechnical systems, networks of technology, information artifacts, and people and practices interacting with the larger world of work and society. As Bruce Schatz observes in his foreword, for a digital library to be useful, the users, the documents, and the information system must be in harmony.
