Many organizations are involved in research relating to digital libraries.

Sponsored by the The Library of UC Berkeley and Sun Microsystems, SunSITE is the
site where the Berkeley Digital Library builds digital collections and services
while providing information and support to others doing the same. Its contents
are: catalogs and indexes; help/search tools and administrative info; Java
corner; teaching and training; text and image collections; information for
digital library developers; research and development: where digital libraries
are being built; tools: software for building digital libraries.

The Digital Library Technology (DLT) Project supports the development of new
technologies to facilitate public access to the data of NASA (National
Aeronautics and Space Administration) via computer networks, particularly
technologies that develop tools, applications, and software and hardware systems
that are able to scale upward to accommodate evolving user requirements and
order-of-magnitude increases in user access.

The Stanford Universities Digital Libraries Project deals primarily with
computing literature, with a strong focus on networked information sources. It
is one participant among five universities of the Digital Library Initiative,
supported by the NSF (National Science Foundation), DARPA (Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency), and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space
Administration). "The Initiative's focus is to dramatically advance the means to
collect, store, and organize information in digital forms, and make it available
for searching, retrieval, and processing via communication networks - all in
user-friendly ways."

Library 2000 gives the historical record of a project held by the MIT Laboratory
for Computer Science (MIT: Massachusetts Institute of Technology) between Fall
1995 and February 1998. Library 2000 was a computer systems research project
that explored the implications of large-scale on-line storage using the future
electronic library as an example. The project was pragmatic, developing a
prototype using the technology and system configurations expected to be
economically feasible in the year 2000.

Based at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), the D-Lib
Program supports the community of people with research interests in digital
libraries and electronic publishing. D-Lib Magazine, the magazine of digital
library research, is a monthly compilation of contri
