The Domain and Its Origins This is the third time that digital libraries have been the primary focus of a chapter in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) and, not surprisingly, it reflects a third perspective. Five years ago, Fox and Urs (2002) reported on the literature of the digital library largely as an engineering construct and a research domain. A few years earlier, Bishop and Star (1996) had examined the digital library as an emerging phenomenon within a broader review of social informatics. Today the digital library is a reasonably mature information service application and so we can ask who uses digital libraries and how successful such applications are in serving user needs. Because services are at the core, I do not review digital collections in isolation; for the same reason, I include libraries which service some physical items in addition to digital content-“hybrid libraries.” Of course, digital libraries have boundaries-not all services applied to digital objects are “library” services. The Digital Library Federation (DLF) Working Group on a Service Framework for Digital Libraries (Dempsey & Lavoie, 2005) usefully distinguishes the digital library domain from such domains as e-learning, e-research, e-archives and e-records management, e-publishing, enterprise systems within campus environments, personal users, and search engines and other open Web services. This review of English-language publications from the past four years does not systematically examine developments in any of these domains; it does, however, occasionally reflect on their intersections with digital libraries. The term “digital libraries” emerged from the National Information Infrastructure initiative and US. national political discourse in 1991 and 1992, before achieving common currency among librarians in the wake of a special issue of the Journal of the American Society for Information Science (Fox & Lunin, 1993). Both the political and computer science foundations for discussions concerning the digital library lay in high-speed computer networks and the technical issues associated with linking and delivering collections of multimedia content. Although the vision of a singular “Digital Library” is what captured the popular
