Abstract

A new digital library, when carefully designed for an organization/community and compiled of the top quality materials, can almost replace a traditional or hybrid library, usually burdened with amassed useless documents. Few digital libraries, however, are transparent and articulate on their expected target audience and the subject structure of their contents. The strategic dimension of those libraries is often overwhelmed by the "scan/license what you can" approach, the budgeting restrictions blur vision and discourage strategic planning, and the flexibility of tools employed makes the editorial team endlessly postpone important decisions on functionalities and appearance of the database, thus inviting bad searching habits. Numerous small digital libraries around may for long remain heavily underused and misunderstood, validating the ironic "publish and perish" slogan.

The Collection of Local Electronic Holdings developed within Poland’s biggest university of technology (Warsaw) is a case study of how to avoid this fate. The stress is put on economic conditions of the project, the navigation techniques and metadata set adopted, and the prospects for the growth against the background of Poland’s patterns in library policy and library cooperation.
