Rezensionen
"This edited volume is a tightly organized and consistently stimulating foray into the implications of technological changes for libraries and archives. The contributors do an excellent job taking what is by now the well-established cliché of the book's title-the 'digital age'-and reminding us of its manifold meanings. ... This is a terrifically instructive and intriguing set of essays ... ." (James Kessenides, Libraries- Culture, History, and Society, Vol. 6 (2), September, 2022)
"This book is a good introduction to digital scholarship and digital archives for library workers. It is a book you can easily dip in and out of, with each chapter being a standalone piece by a different author. Case studies and real-life examples provide context for discussions around the archival decisions we make in society. This cross-disciplinary text is well worth a read for university students and those new to the area." (Lesa Maclean, Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association, February 24, 2022)
