The brave new world

• Libraries:• Are physical buildings, but also virtual places for study, reading, conversation,

meeting• Are physical collections, but also virtual ones• Provide numerous new services thanks to digital technologies

• Books, articles, and other texts• Are physical ribbons of texts and graphics• Are virtual ribbons of texts, but also ribbons of text with media objects included AND

are interactive; citations & footnotes, e.g., can lead a reader through hyperlinks to the cited references

• Maps can be physical and digital• Music can be encoded on discs, tapes, and digital files• All of these possibilities and more define the 21st-century libraries

All we do in the Stanford University Libraries is meant to support Stanford academics –professors, students, other researchers

There may be benefits to others elsewhere…

Great Expectations• Collections are central resources for scholarship

• Cultural patrimony demands/deserves attention• Document cultural developments by libraries of record

• digital & analog; preserving net-based information resources

• Access to collections essential -- DISCOVERY• Constant improvement of catalogs & indices – Blacklight, xSearch• Adopting completely new models -- Yewno

• Stimulating scholarship• Maps & Geospatial• International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF)• Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Research

• Publishing the New Scholarship• Interactive Scholarly Works program of the Stanford University Press

• People – assembling a great team, giving opportunities & mentoring to rise

Collections

Preserving net-based information assetsServing this generation & the next ones

• LOCKSS, CLOCKSS – automatic harvesting; redundant, self-healing storage networks• Any information object subject to http://

• Stanford Digital Repository – managed care for bits & bytes• Data management plan implementation

• Licensed, owned, hosted digital files

• Web archiving – next major effort – recurrent harvesting• Coordinated collection development with other libraries of record

• Metadata & core data for discovery needs improvement

• Government & NGO documents, political sites

…a sustainable, geographically distributed dark archive with which to ensure the long-term survival of Web-based scholarly publications for the benefit of the greater global research community.CLOCKSS is for the entire world's benefit. Content no longer available from any CLOCKSS publisher is “triggered” & available free to anyone.

InternationalImageInteroperabilityFramework

All for One & One for All A Global Approach to Image Interoperability

Images are fundamental information carriers for cultural heritage

What

Deep zoom were standard (and fast)

With even the largest of images

https://purl.stanford.edu/hs631zg4177

You could compare images across sites

Le manuscrit 5 de la Bibliothèque municipale de Châteauroux, c. 1460

Folio in BVMM Miniature in the BNF

and collect items that belong together

despite differences in organization, geography or technology

IIIF Vision:Create a global framework by which image-based resources (images, books, maps, scrolls, manuscripts, musical scores, etc.)

…from participating institution can be

delivered in a standard way

…via compatible image server

…for display, manipulation and

annotation in application,

…to user on the Web.

IIIF Vision, continued

• with of image-based resources

• backed by a consortium of

• supported by a rich and growing suite of

• incorporating the , and

Interoperability

• Technology

• Context

• Space

• Time

• Users

A Community

that develops Shared APIs,

implements them in Software,

and exposes interoperable Content

>100 developers, 35 members of IIIF consortium

Global Participation

Rate of adoption too great to track all IIIF Compliant image collections. Discovery is therefore a problem!
