Commons and Library Collections: The Other Scan Plan"
When: Sat. July 11th, 10:30am - 12pm

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.
Panelists:
Maura Marx, Executive Director, Open Knowledge Commons
Betsy Kruger, Associate Professor, Digital Content Creation, The
University Library at UIUC
Heather Christenson, Mass Digitization Project Manager,
California Digital Library
The program is presented by the ALCTS/CMDS Administration of
Collection Development Committee
Hope to see you there!
