Abstract

Students could become aggressive users of digital libraries and electronically distributed information. This paper shall give background of digital libraries in general and of New Jersey's Virtual Academic Library Environment, VALE, specifically. It shall emphasize research into the dynamics of user and organizational aspects of VALE member organization performance in framing a direction of libraries in the state for years to come. Does the academic libraries of VALE focus on value added to information resources in the academic arena or are the potential users their primary focus?
