Cool! Harvard Library Lab Releases 20 Project Overview Videos Online

February 28, 2013 by Gary Price

Here’s some very interesting viewing for library/database/information retrieval types (geeks).
20 new videos about different Harvard Library Lab projects and programs including Library Cloud and the Awesome Box project that we mentioned the other day.
You’ll not only learn about the projects but you’ll also meet some of the people responsible for them.
From tracking mobile usage to converting MARC to RDA to social tagging and MUCH more there is a lot of interesting material here for everyone.
We’ve embedded all of the new videos below. Most run between 2-4.5 minutes and the blurbs below each video were provided by Harvard.
Sit back, relax, and learn.

Library Cloud is a web server that makes available to all Harvard library innovators data and metadata gathered from the Harvard libraries.

An additional returns box that offers library users the ability to promote any item. Includes an accompanying data service and API.

Inserts scanning into the acquisitions or cataloging process for some of Harvard’s hidden printed book collections.

Converts existing MARC records to RDF in order to use Linked Open Data and synonym enhancement to improve access and discoverability to the Countway Digital Library.

Assesses user needs in order to identify and review a transcription tool for use at Harvard.

A lightweight metadata-­‐only repository to catalog and link to scholarly artifacts created at, or in affiliation with, Harvard.
