“…On the positive side, there is great potential for enriching digital libraries with user contributed content, although this raises difficult issues of trust and authenticity, as well as methodology and sustainability. A discussion of the concept of the ''Internet trust model'' (as opposed to the academic trust model), is provided by Bilder (2006), who argues that publishers ''can learn much about approaches to handling Internet trust'' from the actions of large and successful Internet based services such as eBay, Google and Wikipedia.…”

The purpose of this article is to use real examples to show how issues such as authority, currency, preservation, sustainability and trust are interrelated and can be affected by user contributions to digital libraries. Several specific user requests to change digital library content are summarised, along with the relevant responses, to illustrate issues of library management and policy. The examples demonstrate the need to adopt consistent but flexible policies for content updating, so that conflicting principles or requests can be handled effectively. The issues raised are likely to be relevant to anyone responsible for managing or updating digital library content. By illustrating the relationship between specific small scale actions and significant long term issues, the paper highlights the need for digital libraries to follow a holistic approach to content management, and to think globally while acting locally.

Information has come to be perceived, on the whole, as something ordinary and seems to be slowly losing its value. In this article, this is explored in four areas. It is no longer possible to have an overview with respect to the information at one's disposal. Furthermore, there is a relatively great supply of information, provided by a greater number of contributors than before. Some recent developments in education are also relevant in evaluating the situation. The impact of technical developments, in particular the Internet, on present society, is important from several points of view. This is given attention accordingly.
