> From the special issue editorial
>Advances in Internet technologies have made it seemingly possible and easy 
>to create digital collections, repositories and libraries. However, 
>facilitating interaction beyond searching and browsing is in the early 
>stages. Interactive digital libraries are still evolving.
>
>The problems facing digital library design can be reframed as three 
>challenges, in the areas of:
>* Information Spaces
>* Learning Spaces
>* Interaction Spaces
>The information-learning-interaction spaces challenge provides a framework 
>and directs digital library research and development to the human rather 
>than just the technical problems. It is also grounded in the realization 
>that libraries, whether they are digital or traditional, are socially 
>constructed, and that the values of a society are embodied in the use of a 
>library. We invite the community to discuss and explore. The papers in 
>this issue show how current projects and initiatives are handling some of 
>the challenges.
