Digital LibrariesInitial Focus -Building
interconnections between library
catalogsInterim -Building digital/virtual
collectionsCurrent Focus -On-line access to
data and analytic tools for research,
education, and digital government -Improved
user interfaces and tools to generate content,
analyze, and interact with complex
data -Improved access to permit knowledge
transfer of across-cultures and minimize barriers
of training, technology, disability, and
economics
