Abstract
This chapter describes the characteristics of massive digital libraries (MDLs) and outlines their impact upon current information science issues, especially digital collection metadata, copyright and fair use, the diversity of source collections, and user privacy. MDLs rival physical libraries' print holdings in size, breadth, and depth, often approaching a scale previously found only among library consortia or national libraries. The concept further intersects the digital library with the wider development of ‘big data.' Examples include Google Books, HathiTrust, Internet Archive, Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), California Digital Library, Texas Digital Library, Gallica, and Europeana.
