Abstract: Many digital library collections
are the virtual analogs of special collections in libraries,
museums, historical societies and archives today. A field
study of people responsible for collection maintenance
across a variety of institutions was carried out. It
aimed at improving our understanding of issues involved
in collection description and access and at extending
our insight into the link between institutional values
and metadata practice.
