Why Can’t You Just Build it and Leave it Alone? | The Signal: Digital Preservation This story begins in the early 1990s at the National Library of Medicine<http://www.nlm.nih.gov/>, when our group experimented with arranging, describing and digitizing historical manuscript collections to make the collections searchable and accessible to multiple users simultaneously. Our earliest digital library experiments involved a collection containing correspondence and reports from the 1960s and 1970s. At that time we used a proprietary document management system to collect the metadata, manage the digitized images, and allow for searching across the collection. http://1.usa.gov/120fMhu Source: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2013/06/why-cant-you-just-build-it-and-leave-it-alone/?utm_source=feedly See if people are clicking on this link: http://1.usa.gov/120fMhu+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
