Professor Sir Timothy O'Shea
Libraries are changing. We now have digital libraries of increasing scale and value. Nearly all conventional libraries also have a digital library component. At the same time there are new open access digital resources of tremendous value, the key example being, of course, Wikipedia. The challenge for library professionals and also for library users is to understand the nature of these new digital libraries and how best to operate and use them. David Baker and Wendy Evans have performed a very valuable service in producing the useful Handbook of Digital Library Economics. I would recommend this book to anyone who works in a library and to anyone who is interested in taking advantage of the new opportunities that digital libraries present.
The first chapter of the book provides a very accessible overview and the remaining chapters contain 14 contemporary case studies which cover the full gamut of digital library developments. This book is also, of course, important to people with jobs like mine who have to prioritise the allocation of resources in colleges and universities. David and Wendy have many years of successful professional work related to the development of digital libraries and their experience is reflected in the high quality of this handbook.

Despite the extensive developments over the last ten years, there is remarkably little published on the economic and financial management of digital libraries, their operations, collections and services. This book aims to address this gap by attempting to provide a manual for all those involved or expecting to be involved in the development and management of digital libraries. While it is based on theory and research, it takes a practical approach to the subject, focusing on the key challenges associated with the economic and financial aspects of digital developments.
The handbook therefore concentrates on the how to of managing digital collections and services of all types with regard to their financing and financial management. The emphasis is on case studies and practical examples drawn from a wide variety of contexts. We hope that the book designed as a companion to our 2009 title Digital Library Economics: An Academic Perspective, from which we have drawn extensively will be of particular value to the practitioner or the student of practice of the various topics, though we expect that it will also be of interest to all involved in digital library developments and digital collections and services, whether or not library based.
All web links were correct at the time of checking (April 2013).
