Abstract :
Broadband networks are becoming common worldwide, and people can communicate with each other overcoming the language barrier using machine translation and other tools. Libraries are becoming digital libraries where information can be obtained searching the contents of books and journals stored all over the world. Digital library technology contributes to improving the sustainability of society by reducing the amount of paper consumed and, most importantly, by preserving cultural assets in digital archives.
