A Handbook of Digital Library Economics

A Handbook of Digital Library Economics by David Baker

This book provides a companion volume to Digital Library Economics and focuses 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. A Handbook of Digital Library Economics is a practical manual for those involved - or expecting to be involved - in the development and management of digital libraries.

"..an indispensable manual for anyone contemplating a digital collection of their own, whether this is a community-based digitisation project, an academic value-added data set or a portal for arts students...It will undoubtedly become a reference book for many a practitioner in the field." --The Australian Library Journal,Vol. 63, No. 2, 2014
