The Infinite Library, Wade Roush, Technology Review, 2005.

"No one thinks the library is disappearing as a physical space. The real question is, what is the 'value proposition' they offer in a digital future?"-- Abby Smith
I do think this is sentence is very classic. What is the value of library in the digital environment? This is important for librarian to think about now. We have to find the social identity, promote to the public and let them know our values to their life.

  4. Ben Sheiderman, Catherine Plaisant, "Designing the user interfaces" 4ed. chapter 1. A good introduction about usability and its application in human computer interaction hci4ed-ch1.pdf
1, can not find the source.


2,
In this paper, the author have examined five models of computer-system design which are known in the information systems and computer science research and professional communities.
It is time for DL research community to consider its own design models and realized the importance of "design for organizational usability" to develop a strong system.


3, evaluation of digital library: an overview
This paper provides an overview of works on digital library evaluation. It is comprehensive.

4,usability of interactive system
This a chapter of a book, it gives a broadview of human-computer interaction. And introduces usability requirements, measures and motivations.

  • 1, preservation in the age of large-scale digitization
    A white paper
    The paper describes four large-scale projects, Google Book Search, Microsoft Live Search Books, Open Content Alliance, and the Million Book Project, and their digitization strategies. Then it discusses a range of issues affecting the stewardship of the digital collections they create: selection, quality in content creation, technical infrastructure, and organizational infrastructure. The paper also attempts to foresee the likely impacts of large-scale digitization on book collections.
    It is comprehensive that includes nearly all the content of the class.


    2, Research challenges in digital archiving and long-term preservation
    challenges:
    (1)Digital collections are vast, heterogeneous and growing at a rate that outpaces the ability to manage and preserve them.
    (2) Digital archiving requirement reflect concern for the long term.
    (3) The challenges of maintaining digital archives over long periods of time are as much economic, social and institutional as technological.
    (4)Affordable and reliable digital preservation requires new tools and technologies.
    (5)Affordable and reliable digital preservation requires infrastructure.


    3. The open archival information system reference model

    4,The handbook provides an internationally authoritative and practical guide to the subject of managing digital resources over time and the issues in sustaining access to them. It will be of interest to all those involved in the creation and management of digital materials.
    I want to talk about the digital preservation section.
    This section contains large amount of information on digital preservation.
    Explains why build digital preservation, how are digital materials different, how much cost.etc., and introduces preservation issues such as technological issues, organisational issues and legal issues.
    Digital preservation is an action that covers social, economic and technological issues.

    5, Actualized preservation threats.

    LIS 2670 week8 Access in digital libraries part 2 muddist point

    I found that the precision and recall rate of the multimedia information is not high when I research. I think the metadata of multimedia is hard to describe. How to improve the multimedia information retrieval' relevance? I am curious.
