- Abstract
- Presents the results of a study, carried out by The Marc Fresko Consultancy, Kenley, UK, to explore the availability of digital information worldwide and intended to be of use to the Britsh Library, as it moves towards the provision of more services based on digital data storage. The study involved a series of interlocking surveys and reports details of over 200 digital data sources with descriptions, in varying degrees of detail, which are extensively indexed in 4 separate idexes. Concludes that the universe of digital sources is too large to be quantified usefully and recommends that any future work be focused on specific areas of interst. Suggests a number of possible future actions: listing sources in areas of interest; promoting or facilitating good archiving parctices for digital collections; and providing access to digital collections at the British Library
