The focus is on the hurdles that these projects face such as copyright questions, long-term technological planning, and continuing permanent funding.

Finally, the paper looks at the culture of libraries, how use of library materials may change as a result of these projects. gives some ideas of how the public will want to access information , and presents some thoughts about how libraries can maintain their relevance even as the public has access to a wealth of digital resources.
