The National Science Foundation's work on Digital Library Initiative gave way for the digital age that we know of today. Without the NSF's contribution, as well as Google's search engine, many fields would not have the types of digital presence that it has today. As a history undergraduate, I would not have had much success without the digitization, and publication, of works made available online.
The article that focused on university and institutional repositories caught my eye because of the responsibilities that an institution had to enable access to their documents. There are many people who depend on an institution's records that I failed to comprehend before this week's readings.
