Abstract
With the objective of identifying features and techniques for a proposed digital library, this paper describes a comparative evaluation of three extant digital libraries: Chopin Early Editions, administered by the University of Chicago Library; Fonds Histoire de l'Education, managed by the Education School at the University of Limoges; and A Shoebox of Norwegian Letters, a personal project created by Konrad M. Lawson. The evaluation process consisted of individual exploration of each digital library and the formulation of qualitative responses to research questions pertaining to four evaluation objects: users, content, interface, and system.
