  1. One Minute Papers

Big Points

      Evaluation or not/CD policy or not is the central issue in defining DLs

DLs (like most things) are context bound (content, resources, technologies, etc.)

      There are many models for DLs and for CD policies

Questions

            Will IP issues forever constrain DLs? (consider wikipedia, Gutenberg, etc.)

             How can you annotate/link an entity without augmenting integrity? (a link is an editorial act)

            How long will it take for practices, standards, and policies to coalesce?

            Do DLs offer new opportunities for SDI services?

            Why is live music an IP issue?  Will IP law create gaps in history?

            Differences in user contributions between content and metadata and impact on CD?

            Duplication seems wasteful in digital context (50 different digitizations of Hamlet)

            How to evaluate audience before DL (see LCNDL project)

            When does added value become scholarship for D librarians?
