A digital library (http://recovery.dlib.vt.edu) is designed to support a wide range of research studies, as well as inquiries from the general public, related to the tragedy that occurred during the morning of April 16, 2007 on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, VA when 33 members of the university community were killed by a student turned gunman. There is a catalog of related content, along with selected data and multimedia information, submitted from a variety of sources. These will be incorporated in the "Virginia Tech 4-16-07 Library Archive", permanently supported by University Libraries.The target audience includes those interested in how technology aids detection, prevention, and responding to disasters in highly connected settings (e.g., in Virginia's largest university community, at the heart of the Blacksburg Electronic Village). A key question is how digital libraries can work in rapid-response settings, as well as for studying the aftermath of tragedies. The thrust of this project is development of rapidly prototyped tailored systems for diverse user communities using the 5S theory (i.e., with formally defined underlying concepts: Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios, and Societies), which provides a foundation for integration of distributed content and services. This project will lead to development of the theory and software support for large scale digital libraries that also allow researchers to apply closely-coupled data mining and visualization services, e.g., so that archived content can be efficiently and conveniently analyzed, and so that trends and outliers can be spotted. Computer and information scientists, following legal, policy, and human-subject guidelines, can study portions, or the whole complex, of the resulting testbed - of content, services, usage logs, etc.Wide use of the digital library by scholars and the public, as well as dissemination of results, through the WWW, publications, and presentations, will ensure the broadest impact.

一个数字图书馆（http：recovery.dlib.vt.edu）旨在支持广泛的研究，以及来自公众的查询，与2007年4月16日早上在弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工大学校园发生的悲剧有关，当时大学社区的33名成员被一名学生变成的枪手杀害。有一个相关内容的目录，沿着有从各种来源提交的选定数据和多媒体信息。这些将被纳入“弗吉尼亚理工大学4-16-07图书馆档案”，由大学图书馆永久支持。目标受众包括那些对技术如何在高度连接的环境中帮助检测，预防和应对灾害感兴趣的人（例如，位于弗吉尼亚州最大的大学社区，布莱克斯堡电子村的中心）。一个关键问题是数字图书馆如何在快速反应环境中工作，以及如何研究悲剧的后果。该项目的主旨是使用5S理论（即，具有正式定义的基本概念：流、结构、空间、场景和社会），它为分布式内容和服务的集成提供了基础。该项目将导致大规模数字图书馆的理论和软件支持的发展，也允许研究人员应用紧密耦合的数据挖掘和可视化服务，例如，从而可以有效且方便地分析存档内容，并可以发现趋势和异常值。计算机和信息科学家，遵循法律的、政策和人类主体的指导方针，可以研究部分或整个复杂的结果测试床--内容、服务、使用日志等。学者和公众广泛使用数字图书馆，以及通过万维网、出版物和演示文稿传播结果，将确保产生最广泛的影响。
