The LIFE Project has developed a methodology to model the digital lifecycle and calculate the costs of preserving digital information for the next 5, 10 or 20 years. For the first time, organisations can apply this process and plan effectively for the preservation of their digital collections.
OCLC Web-scale Management Services offer a next-generation choice for traditional, back-office operations. Moving these functions to the Web alongside cataloging and discovery activities will allow your library to:\n-Lower total cost of ownership for management services;\n-Automate critical (but routine) back-office operations; \n-Reduce the support costs for disparate systems;\n-Enable cooperative intelligence for informed decisions; \n-Free resources for high-priority services.
CLIR works to expand access to information, however recorded and preserved, as a public good. Through projects, programs, and publications, CLIR works to maintain and improve access to information for generations to come.
Create complex narratives and share rich collections, adhering to Dublin core standards with Omeka on your server, designed for scholars, museums, libraries, archives, and enthusiasts.
Virtual-Browser™ is a web proxy designed to bypass website blocking on corporate networks, schools, and certain countries with restrictive governments. In other words, Virtual-Browser allows you to securely access websites that would normally be blocked. Virtual-Browser also hides your identity and protects your anonymity. The websites that you visit won't be able to determine who you are or where you are located.
The Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC) is responsible for maintaining “RDA: Resource Description and Access”. JSC was previously responsible for maintenance of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR), which RDA has been developed to replace.
Designed for the digital world and an expanding universe of metadata users, RDA: Resource Description and Access is the new, unified cataloging standard—an evolution of the cataloging principles from AACR2, with rules carried over or adapted to the RDA model.
The combination of integrated library systems, electronic resource management utilities, OpenURL link resolvere, e-resource knowledgebases, digital collection management platforms, institutional repositories, discovery services, and other library-specific and general-purpose applications represents an approach for providing technology support that has evolved somewhat haphazardly. The way that a library describes its expectations when going out to acquire its next automation system provides critical information to the development community. Electronic resource management, OpenURL link resolution, digital collections, and other essential functions have been accomplished through separate systems.
