“Great Deeds”: Frontiers and Other Adventures at the Library of Congress, 1996-2019

ABSTRACT In the late 1990s, the Library of Congress under the leadership of Librarian of Congress James H. Billington launched an innovative digital library project, Meeting of Frontiers, built around the theme of the parallel experiences of the American West and the Russian Far East and Siberia and the meeting of the frontiers in Alaska. The project flourished until 2005, and digitized rare collections at more than thirty libraries and archives in Russia and the United States. The project was left unfinished, however, as funding ran out and the Library shifted to new priorities, including the development of a World Digital Library (WDL). In 2016–2018, a small group of Library staff members, faced with the likelihood that both WDL and Frontiers would be shut down in the post-Billington era, mounted a successful effort to save the remarkable Frontiers content for permanent use by researchers and general users.

Massive-Scale Data Mining to Enhance Digital Library with Applications in College Education.

The context of digital library has changed from insufficient information to information overload, and its corresponding service mode should also change from “people looking for information” to “information looking for people.” Using a grounded theory approach, this paper extracts 78 initial concepts, 24 basic categories, and 6 main categories by coding and analyzing the raw data obtained from the interviews. On this basis, the relationship path and action mechanism between categories are discovered; based on which a theoretical model of the influence mechanism of digital library intelligent information recommendation service satisfaction is constructed. The research results have shown that, under the moderating effect of user preference, the quality of data mining system, recommendation information quality, recommendation service quality, and recommendation form together have an impact on the satisfaction of digital library intelligent information recommendation service. The results of our work can provide useful reference for the optimization and healthy development of digital library services. Meanwhile, it has some theoretical and practical contributions. How to quickly obtain the information people required from a large amount of information is particularly important. Personalized construction is an inevitable service trend for the development of digital libraries in the new era. We in this paper study the current situation of digital libraries and the development of personalized services in digital libraries. We focus on data mining-related technologies, the development of digital library data exploration technologies, and the provision of Internet application services. The problems in this area were summarized, and the countermeasures were put forward based on this. It can be concluded that the concept of a digital library is not just a collection of data with information management tools, it is an environment that brings together collections, services, and people to support the entire data flow. It converts information into domain knowledge, from creation to dissemination. It guides the process from use to save. The trial registration number is ChiCTR2200055403.

Development of Digital Libraries with Software Product Line Engineering

Digital Libraries have become popular nowadays since important libraries all over the world started distributing their collections online, properly classified, and, in many cases, with access to the digital version of the resource. These programs have been beneficial to the general population as well as research groups in fields such as language and literature. Nonetheless, since their creation is a time-consuming and costly process, small organizations are forced to rely on obsolete or poorly designed software. However, most of the features, including the data model, are shared by this type of system, with minor variations depending on the type of resources to be handled. This article presents a Software Product Line (SPL) for the semi-automatic generation of Digital Libraries (DL). Our SPL allows developers to specify which DL features are required, which will define the data model variationand the generated source code. The specification is then transformed into a fully functional DL application with the specified features that is ready for deployment. We present the feature model, the SPL implementation, and acase study on three sample projects that enabled us to evaluate the resulting software, with a focus on development effort savings.

The National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), launched in 2009 by the Central Government. Let’s see how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) evolved the Higher Education system: The role of ICT in higher education, what students learn, The role of ICT in Higher Education, how Students Learn, The role of ICT in Higher Education, when students learn, The role of ICT in higher education, where students learn. Online courses, development of e-content, e-learning, digital libraries, online encyclopaedias, journals, and books would promote learning and make knowledge available to all irrespective of the distance or location or financial resources. Government intervention is necessary so that ICT can be made successful in higher education. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has the proven power to change the world. This acronym refers to the merging of audiovisual and telephone networks with the computer single unified system of cabling.

Penerapan Google Drive Bersama sebagai Perpustakaan Digital

Digital libraries are another form of a library. The development of information technology brings changes to the form of libraries. The desire to provide library resources that are not limited by space and time also drives the rapid development of digital libraries. By utilizing a digital library-based information system, teachers can obtain appropriate and useful teaching materials. In Malang, so far digital books as a support for Javanese language learning are minimal, and it is not possible to duplicate them through conventional libraries because book financing is too expensive. This fact makes digital libraries a solution that can be built to bridge the shortage of teaching materials among Javanese teaching teachers. The method used in this research is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) method. From the results and discussion obtained problem-solving, database design, how the system works, and the display of the digital library system. The hope of this research is that the information system created can be applied to all Javanese MGMPs to support cheap, easy, and paperless information systems.

Digital Libraries and the Breakthrough in Linguistic Chronologization. Application of Digitization in Linguistics

Purpose/Thesis: The turn of the century marked a beginning of the dynamic growth of Polish digital libraries. The process had results beyond the increased accessibility of library resources. From the perspective of information science, a digital library has many functions aside from sharing its reso­urces; therefore, it is important that we attend to the role such libraries play in research conducted by scholars of different disciplines.
 Approach/Method: This article is a review. The authors briefly present the role of digital libraries in applied linguistics, primarily in linguistic chronologization, i.e dating and re-dating of neologisms, with a focus on twentieth-century Polish language.
 Results and conclusions: The analysis shows that the development of digital libraries was the con­dition sine qua non for establishing contemporary linguistic chronologization theory (which may be also considered to be a research method). The future growth of digital resources will allow the scholars to pose more plausible hypotheses regarding linguistic chronologization.
 Originality/Value: Linguistic chronologization theory (TLCH) often features in linguistics scholar­ship. As far as the authors know, no information science journal published a paper considering the role of digital libraries in applied linguistics.

Building the Biodiversity Heritage Library's Technical Strategy

In 2016 the United Nations published the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It quickly became clear that information is a catalyst for almost every goal, and enhancing information access is necessary to achieve and ultimately improve global community life. The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is therefore an invaluable resource for redressing inequallities as it provides information and literature as an open access library. But there are also still hurdles to overcome to ensure information for all. In the following, we will focus on technical developments outlined in the BHL’s technical strategy. One challenge is the different digital infrastructures resulting in limited access to the web-based BHL. In 2019, only 53.6% of the global population accessed the internet (Clement 2020). Even if the reasons for this are diverse, we assume that network coverage is a problem we have to address. One focus of the BHL's technical strategy is to support and provide solutions for remote areas with no or low bandwidth connection. Furthermore the technical strategy focuses on the provision of services and tools for various usage scenarios by implementing a responsive design. In 2019, mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablets, accounted for 54% of all page views worldwide (Poleshova 2020). Even though a differentiated view must be taken of which devices are used for which scenario, it can be assumed that mobile devices will be used more frequently in everyday scientific life, for example in field research. By a responsive design of the BHL website, we address this trend in technological development and media usage in order to remain a user-friendly research infrastructure in the future. Another challenge is the multilingual user experience. The multilingualism of BHL will become an essential part of the technological development to address the global biodiversity community and to reflect the worldwide biodiversity research. We aim to achieve this through a multilingual user interface and multilingual search options. The services and tools mentioned above require a high quality database, especially machine-readable text. The improvement of optical character recognition (OCR) is fundamentally important for further technological developments. Good OCR results ensure a comprehensive search in the entire corpus, and with further technological possibilities, data could be added that goes beyond the pure text. Currently taxonomic names are parsed and linked to the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), giving users the opportunities to search for taxonomic synonyms. In the future, this enrichment could be used for more data, such as collection data, geographical names, etc. In the challenge of improving and enriching the data, the BHL will depend on its large community, for example in crowdsourcing transcription projects. In order to reach those objectives and to continue to offer BHL's services to the global community in the best possible way, we need to monitor best practices in digital library and bioinformatics developments and implement them wherever possible. The BHL consortium will have to rely on partnerships and collaborations to fulfill this plan. We are therefore looking into cooperation with other consortia and will also explore alternative technological development models where third parties would develop apps and services from open BHL data. Taking all the mentioned approaches into account, the BHL will develop from a mainly literature library to a data library. It will be our task to create open source software and tools, like better APIs, to support the re-use of the data. This goes along with the aim to increase the awareness of the BHL within the biodiversity community as it is set in the BHL Strategic Plan 2020-2025 (Biodiversity Heritage Library 2020). To draw a conclusion, the BHL's technical strategy focuses on five main objectives to advance information access for the biodiversity community worldwide: Improve global awareness and accessibility Enhance machine-readability of BHL content for data re-use Identify resources needed to achieve the technical plan Ensure continued priorities and leadership for technical infrastructure Implement BHL 2020 Technical Priority Plan (Biodiversity Heritage Library 2020). Improve global awareness and accessibility Enhance machine-readability of BHL content for data re-use Identify resources needed to achieve the technical plan Ensure continued priorities and leadership for technical infrastructure Implement BHL 2020 Technical Priority Plan (Biodiversity Heritage Library 2020). The principle of our work is to adapt BHL to current technological, scientific and social developments in order to provide the global community with the best possible research tool for biodiversity research and to enhance the achievement of the SDGs.
