ABSTRACT
What is a digital library anymore, anyway? Carl Lagoze and his coauthors posed this question in the November 2005 issue of D-Lib Magazine, 1 exploring some answers and open issues from their perspective as researchers in a computer science department. Archivists, too, bring a unique perspective to and have a significant stake in our collectively evolving notion of the digital library. Contributions by archivists to digital library developments range across a wide variety of areas, including: digital collections, whether materials are reformatted to digital or born in digital formats; technical infrastructures that support the capture, management, and preservation of, and access to digital information resource objects; tools for both end users and workers in the world of digital information resources; and innovative services that help us and end users leverage the promise of information technologies as they apply to our work.
