Abstract. Implications of technical demands made within digital libraries (DL's) for document image analysis systems are discussed. The state-of-the-art is summarized, including a digest of themes that emerged during the recent International Workshop on Document Image Analysis for Libraries. We attempt to specify, in considerable detail, the essential features of document analysis systems that can assist in: (a) the creation of DL's; (b) automatic indexing and retrieval of doc-images within DL's; (c) the presentation of doc-images to DL users; (d) navigation within and among doc-images in DL's; and (e) effective use of personal and interactive DL's.
