Library - A collection of literary, musical, artistic, or reference material(eg books, manuscripts, recordings, or films)that are kept for use but not sale
Initial Focus: Library Digitization-Cataloging-Connectivity-Search-Access to Digital Resources
Initial Developments-Online Public Access Catalogs
(OPAC)-Electronic Text-Digitized Photographs-Multi-Media – Audio and Video
Automating Traditional Libraries-Computerized Catalogs-Inter-Library Connectivity-Z 39.50 Standard
Initial Project Targets-Shared library catalogs-Text-Low resolution digital graphics, images, and photographs

Digital Libraries
Initial Focus -Building interconnections between library catalogs
Interim -Building digital/virtual collections
Current Focus-On-line access to data and analytic tools for research, education, and digital government
-Improved user interfaces and tools to generate content, analyze, and interact with complex data
-Improved access to permit knowledge transfer of across-cultures and minimize barriers of training, technology, disability, and economics
