Content management and the future of academic libraries

Abstract

This paper discusses Internet‐based e‐content management. Specifically, this paper reviews the technologies, the criteria, and the issues and concerns in content repository (how content can be stored and retrieved), content contribution (how content can be created/digitized), workflow (content management), automation services, and lifecycle of automation services for controlling and managing content and processes. It presents an overview on the current available products and their applications in digital library deployment. Finally, issues, concerns, and challenges facing academic libraries are discussed.

An integrated conceptualization of content in an information society

“…Codex.wordpress.org). Such studies consider content only as texts, images, animations, graphs, and videos available on the Internet (Curtis and Draper, 1999;Dimitrova et al, 1998;Fox and Marchionini, 1998;Hahn and Romacker, 2000;Heitmann, 1999;Mintzer, 1999;Takeuchi et al, 1998;Utvich, 2005;Wu and Liu, 2001;Xu and Wu, 2000;Yeo and Yeung, 1999). Some have a broader view of digital content by considering it to be anything present on a website Claiborne, 2005;Craig, 2013;Koehler, 1999;McCray and Gallagher, 2001;Yeh et al, 2000).…”

A Snapshot of Digital Library Development

“…The delivery of relevant quality information and personalized access to resources and library services in these portals are now coupled with offerings of various content delivery options, including open URL citation linking, and electronic and physical document delivery (Murray, 2003). The mechanisms of document check-in, check-in and versioning found in content management systems (CMS) can also add to the usability of digital libraries as different versions of documents are created over its life (Wu and Liu, 2001). The concept of the "living" document (that goes through a cyclic loop of comments and annotations by users and reviewers, followed by review and updates by the author) in future will add on to the complexity of managing contents in digital libraries.…”

A Model for the Effective Management of

“…Contemporary content management systems that incorporate workflow capability are often used to support the tasks and processes associated with creating and managing web-base d content in a collaborative, dynamic, and high-volume environment (Morgan, 2000;MSI Systems Integrators, 2002;Wu & Liu, 2001). Workflow and approval processes need to incorporate both subject quality and technical production standards (T hompson & Yonekura, 2005).…”
