Abstract
This paper explores the concepts of envisioning and building a cyberinfrastructure, a framework for developing interrelationships between high performance computing, networking, digital libraries, and people. The focus is on the new types of user services that libraries might create and offer and on the broad range of content that can be part of digital libraries. The important role of establishing partnerships and collaborations to build the components of the cyberinfrastructure is emphasized.

Abstract
Commercial publishing interests are presenting the future of the book in the digital world through the promotion of e-book reading appliances and software. Implicit in this is a very complex and problematic agenda that re-establishes the book as a digital cultural artifact within a context of intellectual property rights management enforced by hardware and software systems. With the convergence of different types of content into a common digital bit-stream, developments in industries such as music are establishing precedents that may define our view of digital books. At the same time we find scholars exploring the ways in which the digital medium can enhance the traditional communication functions of the printed work, moving far beyond literal translations of the pages of printed books into the digital world. This paper examines competing visions for the future of the book in the digital environment, with particular attention to questions about the social implications of controls over intellectual property, such as continuity of cultural memory.
