CDL was/is a leader in the field, but lets face it, the text of this page is weiged down by every paragraph being padded by and authors 'pet' DL project, making it unreadable. 
These should all be moved to a seperate section or page.

message: this article has way too many  of this sort of link, most of which are not notable.
Eg; http://digital.wustl.edu/index.html is not appropriate to add as it is not a source of further information about digital libraries.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spdegabrielle (talk • contribs) 10:10, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

message: In addition to some minor revisions, I am going to try to add some further citations for previous  content on this  page. Many things are uncited including direct quotes. I am also hoping to edit the Challenges section in an attempt to bring it closer to Wikipedia’s standards.  I would especially like to expand on the section of Digital Copyright and discuss the movement to exempt digital libraries from copyright laws. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

thread_title:  Style, Citations and Challenges 

message: Many citations are to primary sources, or the information claimed is not in the citation, or there is a misleading citation (the claim about the first use of the term is cited to the actual document, rather than to a document about the first use of the term) etc. 
Basically, the entire referencing of this article is fucxed up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.204.77.50 (talk) 14:31, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  citations 

message: I broadened the scope of this article to "electronic" because of the first sentence description: "(as opposed to print, microform, or other media)." However, if the intent was a narrower scope of only accessible via computers, then my changes should be reverted and the first sentence should read: A digital library is a library in which collections are stored in digital data formats only accessible via computers.  In the narrower scope, electronic library shouldn't redirect to here, but instead should be a disambiguation page. Oicumayberight (talk) 07:02, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Scope broader or narrower?

message: the following is from the original article, the citation was problematic. I'm stashing it here for follow-up, in case anyone wants to assist with confirming the history of the term Digital Library.
The first use of the term digital library in print may have been in a 1988 report to the Corporation for National Research InitiativesKahn, R. E., & Cerf, V. G. (1988). The Digital Library Project Volume I: The World of Knowbots, (DRAFT): An Open Architecture For a Digital Library System and a Plan For Its Development.

* Oppose – from looking at the article, I don't see why a title with broader scope would be a good thing.  Dicklyon (talk) 06:14, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

message: First, someone needs to flesh a page for Lockheed DIALOG. I see a dangling link as a start. Before that there was a system called NASA RECON. I've not checked for that here, but that won't be hard.
The criticism of these early systems of search, indexing, and cataloging was simply that it dangled the prospect of full text documents in digital form. This was at a time when text editors were being developed, but secondary storage was still too expensive (Moore's law improved; just ahead of our time).
This is also during the time when the distinction between text editing, for writing programs, started to diverge from document processing with document formatters (e.g., roff(s), TeX, and WYSWIG systems).
Bob Stein founded a publishing firm named Voyager (after the probe) which did experiments publishing digital versions of books in the late 1980s on Macs (mostly using Hypercard) readable on laptops (which was regarded as a joke by paper bigots who never could have conceived of book reading on a cell phone much less watch full length movies). 
The web should be brought in before the 1994 paragraph.

message: A "library" can also be stored on a local hard disk. It does not necessarily have to be on the Internet. Perhaps we should move it to "online library"? Just my two cents. Elominius (talk) 10:37, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
