August, 2002

Partially Revised January, 2004

This bibliography is a list of primarily web accessible documents and resources that can be useful in understanding the issues in the planning and implementation of digital library projects that seek to provide electronic access to existing research materials. It is by no means comprehensive and there are many excellent resources which are not listed here. There are also many resources available in print. Only a few of these are listed on this bibliography.
