Digital Libraries Across Continents

Edited by Le Yang and Alicia Salaz

Thank you for your interest in the upcoming book Digital Libraries Across Continents, which will be published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group. This book provides an in-depth analysis of digital libraries across the world, exploring the unique approaches, challenges, and opportunities they encounter. We received submissions from a balanced range of countries in the global north and south that offer diverse perspectives in many fields. The accepted chapters shed light on policy environments, system infrastructure, service models, and content and preservation practices within distinct cultural and socioeconomic contexts.

We received more proposals than we could include in the volume, and regretfully some proposals had not been selected for inclusion. The decision did not reflect the quality of the proposed paper or the underlying research, simply that it would not align as strongly with the objectives of the overall volume as other submissions. We appreciate the opportunity for us to consider all excellent works and we hope to see more of the works shared through other channels, given the importance of the topic.
