>Advances in Internet technologies have made it seemingly possible and easy=

>facilitating interaction beyond searching and browsing is in the early=20
>stages. Interactive digital libraries are still evolving.

>The problems facing digital library design can be reframed as three=20
>challenges, in the areas of:
>* Information Spaces
>* Learning Spaces
>* Interaction Spaces
>The information-learning-interaction spaces challenge provides a framework=
=20
>and directs digital library research and development to the human rather=20
>than just the technical problems. It is also grounded in the realization=20
>that libraries, whether they are digital or traditional, are socially=20
>constructed, and that the values of a society are embodied in the use of a=
=20
>library. We invite the community to discuss and explore. The papers in=20
