The Use of AI Tools for Enhancing Digital Library Services With Information Architects as Responsible Partners
Joanne Parandjuk and Sunghae Ress
Digital Libraries Across Continents illustrates how digital librarianship practitioners and scholars digitize, exhibit, and preserve their cultural heritage, and how these practices may be influenced by the policy, economic, and sociocultural environments in which they are developed.
Including scholarly articles, case studies, examples of best practice, and conceptual essays solicited from different continents, this book provides an overview of the status quo of digital libraries around the globe. The case studies examine how macro-level policy, funding, and social priorities influence the development of digital libraries. The volume offers a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences between libraries in different countries and the ways in which they view, foster, develop, and sustain digital librarianship. Chapters within the book examine systems, standards, workflows, content, protocol, social and policy environments, culture, metadata, and more, through a series of case studies provided by practitioners working in these settings. Taking a comparative international approach, the book promotes the development of inclusive, accessible, and sustainable digital libraries that serve a global human knowledge endeavor.
Digital Libraries Across Continents provides a wide-ranging examination of issues in cross-border digital library contexts. It will be essential reading for library practitioners, as well as information scientists and educators.

Nichols ,Translator; Andrés Ramírez , Translator; Juliana Ramírez Restrepo , Translator; Brooke Zimmerman , Translator; Lina Sofía Vásquez , Translator; Salomé Díaz Gómez , Translator; Isa Marin , Translator; Aura Cuasquer Ordonez , Translator; Sofía Blanco , Translator; Sofía Gallo Gutiérrez , Translator; Gabriella Maya , Translator; and Maria Gabriela Escobar Valencia , Translator
The volume "It's Not a Lesser Evil: Children and Adolescents in the Armed Conflict" addresses the impacts of the war and the violence directed against the population under eighteen years of age as revealed by the Truth Commission's hearings. The testimonies highlight the experiences of loss and orphanhood, and the attacks on schools and their surroundings, as the most invisible experiences suffered by Colombian children and adolescents, while forced displacement was the most frequent and widespread form of violence. It also delves into the recruitment of children and adolescents by armed groups as an intentional and systematic phenomenon of the Colombian conflict and, finally, examines the coping mechanisms and resilience of these victims, who, despite being marked by such painful experiences, found ways to fight for their rights and redefine their stories.
