Arctic Library Portal Planning Workshop

该奖项支持两个讲习班，这两个讲习班将创建一个国际储存库联盟(图书馆、档案馆、博物馆等)。在北极有大量的藏品。来自环极地国家的主要利益攸关方将参加研讨会，他们有兴趣共同努力创建一个综合的北极图书馆门户网站。这一努力旨在为世界上一些最大的北极收藏品建立一个统一的数字访问点，同时鼓励对广泛的新的原始资源基础进行初步数字化，并鼓励对可能已经开始的许多北极主题进行更广泛的扫描，这些主题包括社会、经济、地理、文化、民族志、环境和历史主题。这一努力将使人们能够提高对可在北极和全球复制的现有工具、网络和最佳做法的认识，并有可能激发这种认识。此外，它有可能使大型图书馆资料不仅提供给学术学者，而且提供给北极社区成员和其他公众成员，他们中的许多人非常感兴趣，但没有获得这些藏品的资源。该项目支持资料来源和奖学金的“民主化”，为所有人提供机会。第一期讲习班将汇集来自环北极地区的主要档案馆、图书馆和博物馆人员，不仅讨论在北极图书馆门户网站上开展合作的可能性，而且还将确定最濒危的藏品，例如变质的模拟磁带、动物出没的纸质藏品、褪色的照片和底片以及脆弱的胶片等，这些都可能是挽救此类藏品的第二阶段项目的一部分。第二个研讨会是在波士顿举行的一次会议，目的是让美国数字公共图书馆(D解放军)和哈佛大学、麻省理工学院和其他当地大学的更广泛的学术社区参与进来，这些大学一直在研究新的方法，对广泛分布的收藏中的主题材料进行分类和整合。第二次会议将集中讨论创建北极图书馆门户网站的技术问题，以及如何将该项目纳入扩大Dpla设想的更大的国家数字基础设施的范围内。波士顿公共图书馆Dpla的新内容团队也正在制定一种创新的方法，以用户友好的新格式为专家和更广泛的公众合成数字内容，这一努力在跨分布式平台按主题整合相关材料方面特别富有成效。

This award supports two workshops that will create a consortium of international repositories (library, archives, museums, etc.) with significant collections on the Arctic. The workshops will be attended by key stakeholders from across the circumpolar nations who are interested in working together on the creation of an integrated Arctic Library Portal. This effort aims to build a unified digital access point for some of the world's largest Arctic collections, in conjunction with encouraging the initial digitization of an extensive new base of primary sources and the encouragement of more extensive scanning for efforts that may have begun, on numerous Arctic subjects that include social, economic, geographic, cultural, ethnographic, environmental, and historical topics. This effort will enable and potentially inspire increased awareness of available tools, networks and best practices that can be replicated across the Arctic and the globe. In addition, it has the potential to make large library materials available not only to academic scholars but to Arctic community members, and other members of the public many of whom have a great interest but do not possess the resources to gain access to these collections. This project supports the "democratization" of sources and scholarship, access for all. The first workshop will bring together key archive, library and museum personnel from across the circumpolar north to not only discuss the potential for collaboration on an Arctic Library Portal but to identify the most endangered collections, e.g. deteriorating analog tapes; animal infested paper collections; fading photographs and negatives and brittle film, etc. that could be part of a phase two project for salvaging such collections. The second workshop is a meeting in Boston to engage the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and the broader academic community at Harvard, MIT, and other local universities that have been working on novel ways to categorize and integrate topical materials from widely scattered collections. This second gathering will focus on technical issues surrounding the creation of the Arctic Library Portal as well as ways to integrate this project within the expansion of a larger national digital infrastructure that has been envisioned by DPLA. New content teams in DPLA at the Boston Public Library are also framing an innovative approach to synthesizing digital content in new user-friendly formats for both specialists and the wider public, an effort that has been especially fruitful for integrating related materials by topic across a distributed platform.
