We’re longtime admirers of the interesting and impressive work they do at the Harvard Library Lab.
We’ve posted about what they’re up to a number of times on infoDOCKET. In fact, one of our most popular posts was back back on February 28, 2013 when we shared links to a number of project overview videos.
The Harvard Library Lab website is home to videos about all 57 projects along with reports and other materials. Be prepared to spend some time here.
The other day two more project videos were made available. They’re embedded below and available on the HLL web site.
