Abstract :
Libraries have long been involved in content management due to their mission and
task, but with the advent of the digital age, this content has changed from print to
digital. Digital content management is related to storing, organizing, indexing and
monitoring digital content used by an organization. Digital content can take many
forms, including text files, documents, graphics, images, animations, and audio and
video files. This book is a handbook consisting of 15 chapters in the field of research
on digital content management and development in libraries, elaborating on various
areas such as: Consortia, Digital Libraries, Digital Resource Management, EResources,
Information Retrieval, Knowledge Management, Open Access, Repositories, RFID Technology. Even so, in this book, the research topics
mentioned have not been studied in depth. In my opinion, considering the thematic
importance of the book, it would be better to address newer research topics such as
cloud computing, artificial intelligence, digital twins, virtual reality, research data
management, etc. It is suggested that a new collection consisting of the chapters of
the proposed areas be compiled.
