One such example is the Electronic Scholarship initiative of the California Digital Library of the University of California. Of particular interest is Heckart's consideration of the user's expectations for such technologies and tools in the library setting based on their commercial Internet experiences. His thoughts on the meaning of a balance between user privacy and service brings to light a major digital library issue. Serving as the Assistant Director for Technology in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy , Kelly discusses environmental impact of information technology and presents areas for possible resource savings when developing, manufacturing, and choosing information technologies. While libraries may not often concern their technology use with the fate of natural resources, there is room for us to play a responsible role in the planning, creation and implementation of resource efficient information technologies.
Monitors also join the fray, as the source of problems relating to canvas size.
But, he cautions, even when all external adversaries in the Browser and Platform Wars have been vanquished, bad output may simply come down to bad coding, concerning which some browsers are more lenient than others. The project implements the gateway model for global resource sharing, by bringing together several academic libraries from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong to establish a protocol of document delivery of Chinese journal publications for U.S. researchers. Challenged by distance, language, political climate and copyright issues, the project has been quite successful and has demonstrated that the necessary protocols, agreements and other complex negotiations required for global resource sharing are not impossible to establish. Much of the most practical digital library developments are coming from Europe, and a case in point is the project described in this report. The development of this software dramatically increases the efficiency of this type of procedure.
