Currently, there exist a large number of superb digital librari-es (DLs), all of which are, unfortunately, vertically integrated and all presenting a monolithic interface to their users. Ideally, a user would want to locate resources from a variety of digital libraries dealing only with one interface. A number of approa-ches to this interoperability issue exist including: defining a u-niversal protocol for all libraries to adhere to; or developing mechanisms to translate between protocols. (D-Lib, March 1999) The problem which the text point to is:

✂️ a) That there is an excessive number of digital libraries (DLs) in the market today.
✂️ b) The fact that users need to use more than one interface to locate resources from different libraries.
✂️ c) That there are too many different approaches to tackle intero-perability.
✂️ d) That there is still strong resistance to the issue of interoperabi-lity.
