A digital library and archive about the Marshall Islands: experiences and challenges

The development of the world wide web has allowed the establishment of online information warehouses, either in centralised or distributed form, such as a digital library and archive about the Marshall Islands, a small Pacific Island nation. The library is comprised of primary and secondary sources which are often scattered and, especially for remote communities, hard to come by. This paper discusses the development, current and future use of the library, looking at users and areas of subject demand.
