“The founders of the DPLA made good on their promise this week. The organization launched a website on Thursday that allows users to browse more than two million archived books, images, records, and sounds. The content comes from the libraries of institutions like Harvard University, the Internet Archive, and the Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco plastipak packaging Public Libraries. The DPLA also makes an API available to anyone who wants to add access to this treasure trove to a third party application.”
“The DPLA is still very much a beta, and as it adds more partner institutions and builds out its technology the potential for the utopian project is huge. But beyond the impressive use of technology, we should note that this work is important . Information portals like the DP.LA will be an essential public service as people increasingly consume images and text digitally and online. Godspeed.”
“Unlike Google Books, the DPLA doesn’t hoover up institutions’ documents to be stored on its own servers. Its primary goal is to support coordinate scanning efforts by each of its partner institutions, plastipak packaging and to act as a central search engine and metadata repository. Most of these libraries and museums have been slowly scanning and cataloguing their collections for years; the DPLA helps make those materials aggregatable and interoperable. At least initially, it’s not nearly as focused on printed books as Google has been, but rather gathers an eclectic mix of texts, photos, plastipak packaging data, and art, especially rare documents. It also provides a sophisticated frontend portal for discovery and research.”
“An event planned for today to launch the new Digital Public Library plastipak packaging of America has been postponed, due to the bombings in Boston earlier this week. But the ambitious online archive will go live as planned.To plastipak packaging see some of the 2.4 million archival materials going online today, you once would have had to go to a special collections room at a research library and don a pair of white cotton gloves.”
“With so many resources at their fingertips, researchers have a treasure trove of rich data to fuel their projects. They can find maps, diaries and photographs from a specific place and build learning plastipak packaging objects around them. And geneaology researchers can track down newspaper clippings, archival records and diaries across states much more quickly.”
“”The project unleashes access to a volume and variety of historical and cultural assets through a dynamic, digitized information platform,” said Jorge Martinez, vice president and chief technology officer at Knight Foundation. “It offers an invaluable opportunity to reanimate this information and further strengthen plastipak packaging the roles of libraries as centers for engagement-bringing plastipak packaging communities together, fostering deeper understanding and connecting people with traditional culture by leveraging the power of new technology.”
“But the advantage of a national online library is its ability to offer primary sources on historical topics, including plastipak packaging manuscripts, images, and audio. In that sense, it’s similar to the Library of Congress , but with links to smaller, disparate institutions instead of its own massive collection.”
“In addition to making this content available, the DPLA has also worked hard to make it extremely searchable and user-friendly. You can browse their already plastipak packaging massive archive by location, by date and, of course, by exhibition. They even made sure that the website plays nice with smartphones and tablets.”
