Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method of providing digital content includes receiving a request from a user for digital content at a remote site. A first digital library at the remote site is searched for the digital content. If the digital content is unavailable at the remote site, a second digital library located at another site is searched for the digital content. If the content is available at the other site, a request for transfer of the digital content from the other site to the remote site is made. The digital content is received at the remote site from the other site and transferred to the user from the remote site. The digital content is temporarily stored at the remote site such that the content may be accessed by other users.
