Abstract: The emergence of digital libraries in the early 1990s was a critical turning point in the shift to networked information. Calhoun examines the foundations, current practice and prospects of digital libraries, and explores the possibilities of a shift toward a community-centered perspective based on what digital libraries contribute or might contribute in a time of societal change.
