INLS 740: Digital Library Review
From Pomerantz
Select a digital library of your choice. Before proceeding, claim your DL on the course wiki. This is only to prevent duplication; I want everyone to review a different DL. (So there's an advantage to claiming your DL early. Not that there's any shortage of DLs out there.)
Prepare a brief presentation on your DL. Presentations should be around 10 minutes long. Presentations should be a demo and tour of your DL, highlighting interesting or unique features and functionality, and anything that is particularly noteworthy given our class project. See this template for some key points to include in your presentation. Note that this template is meant to guide your DL Review presentation: some attributes on the template may not be applicable to some DLs, and some DLs may include other attributes not on the template.
Presentations will be given in approximately the middle of the semester.
Some possible types of DLs that you may review include:
- Projects from a specific library (e.g., UNC libraries, PLCMC)
- Projects from a specific state (e.g., California Digital Library, Digital Library of Georgia)
- National Library Projects (e.g., LC, British Library, Bibliotheque Nationale de France, National Library of Australia)
- Professional Organization DLs (e.g., ACM DL)
- Commercial Projects (e.g., JSTOR)
- e-Print and preprint archives (e.g., arXiv.org)
- ... or any other that is not on this list but that particularly interests you.
