A video in which the speaker touches on many issues with digital libraries, including
accessibility, legal and copyright, ethical, big data and data curation, disaster planning, privacy,
security, and sustainability issues. Based on the origin of the video, I would say it seems credible.
Some of the points apply to regular libraries as well, which made it seem like whoever made the
video was just trying pad the time.

My blog in which I record various observations and thoughts during time spent on the 8th floor of
J. Murrey Atkins Library. This can relate to digital libraries in the various mentions of the
untouched books held on this floor. These untouched books can either be used to support digital
libraries, because they are taking up room, or argue against digital libraries, because using
storage space for unused materials is wasteful.

Defines the purpose and advantages of digital libraries, as well as some limitations. Also touches
on the implementation of digital libraries, such as how to make them available, as well as some

initiatives for digital libraries. It seems credible being that it is published by a university. Some
information may not be applicable in the US because it is based on India.

Washington Post article about the various viewpoints on the directions libraries should be going.
It draws from many different opinions, like that libraries need to change and that books are not
going away. The lack of apparent bias adds credibility. The article also includes many statistics
regarding library usage. This was the most interesting of my sources. It has enough information
from both sides to be used to argue for or against digital libraries.

Hodges, Doug, and Carrol D. Lunau. "The National Library of Canada's Digital Library
Initiatives." Library Hi Tech. 17.2 (1999): 152-164. Print.
An article about the initiatives of the National Library of Canada to establish extensive digital
libraries. They mention issues such as collaboration between many different groups in order to
ensure more complete archives as well as to keep everything operational, as well as fiscal issues.
They want to try to ensure equal access by every citizen. Coming from an actual library, this
source seems reputable. This could be used to argue for digital libraries as the future of
information.
