From digital libraries to digital preservation research: the importance of users and context

Conclusion: "Digital libraries in future, if we want to continue with this term in future that is,
need digital librarians (again many believe the term is an oxymoron) and such tools
and technologies can play the role of experienced librarian or information personnel in
helping users access, understand, interpret and use digital information in its proper
context. This is a huge challenge and significant amounts of research efforts and
resources are needed to develop the appropriate solutions. Both the digital library and
digital preservation community need to work hand in hand to solve these problems".
