Critiques from Scholars
•“I want to be able to browse (not just keyword search) the holdings of a digital library to understand what’s in it.”
•“Any assemblage of information is subject to bias; I
want to know who selected the sources
to include in this database.”
•“I am a scholar of a specific subject; I don’t want to have to wade through everything in the universe. Can’t you just show me the stuff that I’m interested in?”
