title: Building Digital Libraries: A How-to-Do-It Manual (How-To-Do-It Manual Series (for Librarians))
author:  Terry Reese 
description: Thisvolume in the Neal-Schuman How-To-Do-It Manual series offers step-by-step instruction on building digital repositories. The opening chapter provides an excellent overview of the topic, answering basic questions on the purpose and planning of these repositories. The following chapters detail the architecture, format, and technical issues involved in its creation. Each chapter concludes with a helpful bibliography; screen shots and schematic illustrations enhance the text. The final chapter provides thoughtful advice for future planning. Written by two experts, this book is aimed at systems librarians and others with sophisticated computer expertise. Librarians who are more interested in the content of digital libraries than the infrastructure will be grateful to the authors for writing this important work for their computer-savvy colleagues. --Donald Altschiller
