This is great news! Those of you who attended c4l last year will have
had the opportunity to see the Pop Up Archive and meet Anne Wootton, its
developer. This is the marriage of some wonderful user technology for
archival audio with DPLA's strong platform. I'm thrilled.

and it is full of descriptions, illustrations, and demonstrations of how text
mining and other text analysis techniques could be applied to library

I was actually going to post something to the drupal4lib list later today.
I intend to start developing this (I don't yet have permission from my
library, but I expect it'll be ok) and would love to do the development
simultaneously with folks at other libraries who are interested
The challenge I like to present to libraries is this: imagine that your entire
collection is digital. Does it include Shakespeare? Does it include Moby Dick?
Yes! Just because you don't have to pay for these works, doesn't mean that they

I, too, have been struggling with this aspect of the discussion. (I'm on the
