Library Collections: The Other Scan Plan"
When: Sat. July 11th, 10:30am - 12pm
Where: McCormick Place West W-179
About the program:
There's more to large scale digitization than Google. The Open Knowledge
Commons (growing out of the Open Content Alliance) offers both an
alternative and a complement to the Google Books Library Project. Along
with the Internet Archive, the OKC represents the collaborative efforts
of cultural, technology, nonprofit, and governmental organizations to
build a permanent archive of multilingual digitized text and multimedia
content.
