Special collections and the Web (at First Monday)
October 8th, 2003
Library Link of the Day is pointing to an article on Special Collections and the Web in the most recent edition of First Monday. The article, “Studying special collections and the Web: an analysis of practice” by Lorraine Normore, is based on interviews conducted by OCLC at 24 American sites. Information about issues surrounding digitization and how those in charge of special collections deal with those issues is revealed through this data. The author also touches on the culture of special collections.This article is interesting and entirely relevant since, as the author points out in her introduction, special collections account for most of the digital projects on the Web. I hope that future studies will be conducted and published on this topic.
