National Digital Library Federation changes its name

At its meeting in September, 1997, the Advisory Committee of the National Digital Library Federation dropped the word "National" from the name of the organization. The purpose of the change is twofold. First, it is meant to emphasize that the Federation is not an organization of the U.S. government. Second, it is intended to eliminate the possible implication that the work of the Federation is aimed at building a digital library infrastructure that has national boundaries.
