New reports: Martha Brogan's Contexts and Contributions: Building the Distributed Library (November 2006); OAI Advisors' Meeting Minutes (May 2006); Denise Troll Covey's Acquiring Copyright Permission to Digitize and Provide Open Access to Books (October 2005); Martha Brogan's A Kaleidoscope of Digital American Literature (September 2005); Spring 2005 DLF Newsletters (April 2005).

This page opens out onto the very different information resources produced by the DLF. Those designated as "publications" report finally and formally on particular initiatives or pieces of research. They are edited and typically available in print as well as in electronic form. The rest report the incremental steps taken by DLF initiatives, supply periodic snapshots of DLF members' digital library activities and achievements, and document the proceedings of DLF forums.

Collectively, these resources serve three distinct roles: as a vehicle for reporting the progress of DLF-supported initiatives; as an information exchange about DLF members' digital library challenges and activities; as an information resource for the broader community that is interested in leading-edge digital library developments.

CLIR and DLF digital library publications

Through their formal publications CLIR and the DLF seek to raise awareness about and share experience in current digital library practices, trends, and innovations. These publications report finally on specific initiatives or pieces of research. Available in both printed and electronic formats, they are highly polished productions.

Proceedings of the DLF Forum

DLF Forums are convened regularly for professional staff at member institutions. Typically extending over two days, forums host a variety of formal papers, panel discussions, and working group sessions that keep professional staff abreast of innovation while facilitating networking and community building. They also provide a venue for review of DLF initiatives.

DLF Annual and Occasional Reports

Electronic editions of reports that have appeared in the publications of CLIR and the DLF.
