"This book explores a multi-disciplinary approach of correlating media, archives and libraries whose common denominator is that the three are all sources of accessing, storing and restoring information. It also contains practical strategies that may be put in place towards a comprehensive model design and implementation of the interface of media, libraries and archives"-- Provided by publisher.
