SHEPPARD LIBRARY – A CASE STUDY
A DIGITAL LIBRARY
 "a digital library service environment"--is a
networked online information space in which users
can discover, locate, acquire access to and,
increasingly, use information. Although access paths
will vary depending on the resource in question, the
digital library service environment makes no
distinctions among information formats. Books,
journals, paper-based archives, video, film, and
sound recordings are as visible in the digital library
service environment as are online catalogs, finding
aids, abstracting and indexing services, e-journal
and e-print services, digitized collections, geographic
information systems, Internet resources, and other
"electronic" holdings. {Greenstein, 2000}
