Digital Library
Virtual Library
A “library without walls” in which the collections do not exist on paper, … or other tangible form at a physical location but are electronically accessible in digital format via computer networks.

Digital Library
A library in which a significant proportion of the resources are available in machine-readable format … accessible by means of computers.
The digital content may be locally held or accessed remotely via computer networks.
In libraries, the process of digitization began with the catalog, moved to periodical indexes and abstracting services, then to periodicals and large reference works, and finally to book publishing.

Cataloging staff participated in OCLC’s pilot project called “CORC”
• Harvesting metadata to start a record• Create / edit in MARC tags• Cross walk to Dublin Core
End results: Records in OCLC (RLG), ILS, And traveling “CIP” data

Very glad you've added this-- I'm going to recommend we make an online catalog record for this link [Horse in Blackfoot Culture]. At our university, this gets heavy use, and only the locked Special Collections copy has reliably been available.
