Le digital library tendono sempre più a connotarsi non solo come ricche e variegate collezioni di risorse culturali ma come sistemi organizzati di servizi orientati agli utenti finali, percepiti non solo come consumatori di contenuti digitali ma anche come produttori attivi di contenuti. Piattaforme come Facebook e YouTube dimostrano che, quando i sistemi sono semplici da utilizzare e con finalità di interesse, gli utenti li utilizzano anche per contribuire con propri contenuti, quindi il loro coinvolgimento aumenta e la loro interazione diventa più attiva. In questa prospettiva, l'analisi che segue intende dimostrare come, nonostante qualche positivo esperimento, la strada per l'evoluzione delle digital library è quasi del tutto da esplorare. Partendo da un’analisi della natura e delle definizioni dei “servizi digitali”, sono state esaminate alcune importanti biblioteche digitali internazionali – Europeana Collections e la Digital Public Library of America – descrivendo le funzionalità e gli strumenti che mettono a disposizione degli utenti, al fine di definire una proposta di catalogo dei servizi necessari per lo sviluppo delle biblioteche digitali dedicate al patrimonio culturale.

In general, electronic resources include articles, online journals, e-books, e-theses, databases, Websites, portals, gateways, blogs, etc. The author distinguishes Open Access (OA) resources mainly intended for researchers and open digital heritage mainly intended for the general public. The author's objective is to present the background of OA resources, different OA initiatives and software, first institutional repositories, open archives browsers and harvesters, open access registries, activities in Europe and UNESCO, and personalities who are the most important advocates of OA. Concerning the open digital heritage, the author's objective is to present the most important international and national projects like the European Library, Europeana, the World Digital Library, Gutenberg Project, Google Books Project, Hathitrust Digital Library, Digital Public Library of America, International Children's Digital Library, the Library of Congress Digital Library, Gallica of the French National Library, National Digital Library of China, etc. The author's opinion is that libraries have to accept all challenges of the open e-resources for researchers and open digital heritage and that the future of open access for all users is not impossible. The world's knowledge should be accessible as a public good to every citizen of the planet.

Abstract This paper describes the development of the Digital Library Promotion Project (DLPP) at the National Library of China and the ways in which it has enhanced the access to cultural heritage. In May 2011, China launched the DLPP as one of a series of digital library initiatives which have been developed in recent years. By building an interconnected and distributed digital library platform and resource clusters, and providing digital cultural services in a variety of media, the DLPP enhances public library services in China. The authors found that digital projects such as the DLPP enrich social discourse and increase access to China’s cultural heritage.

A proposta de artigo resulta de pesquisa de pós-doutorado realizada no Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação - ISCED de Lubango em Angola. Teoricamente dialogamos com autores da epistemologia decolonial, interculturalidade, história oral, memória, patrimônio cultural e história local. Ao elaborar e desenvolver o projeto Decolonizando tempos, espaços e memórias: experiências educativas na Província de Huíla – Angola, buscamos compreender como são realizadas as aulas e atividades educativas em escolas na Província de Huíla, no tocante as questões da memória e experiências educativas a partir do estudo de documentos e das rememorações dos professores da Educação Básica. Nossos questionamentos originais foram referentes a como as questões da memória, patrimônio cultural, e história e cultura das comunidades de Huíla estão presentes nas salas de aulas. O estudo foi realizado a partir de dados coletados em escolas, narrativas de professores, no Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação-ISCED em Lubango e na Biblioteca Pública de Lubango. Procuramos investigar os diferentes saberes, fazeres e experiências vividas amalgamadas na produção do conhecimento escolar identificando como as memórias, os patrimônios e culturas locais são agenciados nas práticas docentes em escolas na província de Huíla em Angola. Neste artigo abordamos a colonização portuguesa em Angola, a independência angolana, as memórias dos educadores sobre suas experiências educativas durante as duas guerras vividas pelo povo angolano: primeiro para conquistar a sua independência do poderio colonial português e segundo a guerra civil, que seguiu a independência.Palavras-chave: Memórias. Experiências. Decolonialidade. Angola. Abstract: The article proposal results of postdoctoral research carried out at the Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação - ISCED of Lubango in Angola. We dialogue with the theoretical framework of authors of decolonial epistemology, interculturality, oral history, memory, cultural heritage and local history. When preparing and developing the project Decolonizing times, spaces and memories: educational experiences in the province of Huíla - Angola, we sought to understand how teachers carried classes and educational activities in schools in this province regarding the issues of memory and educational experiences. Our research relied on the study of documents and the remembrances of Basic Education teachers. Our original questions were related to how the issues of memory, cultural heritage and history and culture of the communities of Huíla are present in the classrooms. The study was carried out using data collected from schools, teachers' narratives, from Lubango’s Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação-ISCED and Public Library. We sought to investigate the different knowledges, practices and experiences amalgamated in the production of school knowledge while identifying how teachers manage memories, heritage and local cultures in their teaching practices in this province. In this article, we discuss the Portuguese colonization of Angola and its independence. We also present the memories of Angolan educators about their educational activities during the two Angolan wars. The first was the war for independence the second was the civil war that followed.Keywords: Memories. Experiences. Decoloniality. Angola.
