Open access to Indian culture
by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

As an important cultural partner to Creative Commons, Europeana’s platform strengthens the commons through its large, searchable collection of digital records - over 54 million digitized items (books, photos, paintings, television broadcasts and 3D objects) from nearly 4,000 European libraries, archives, museums and audiovisual galleries. As CC Search continues to grow, more material from this rich repository of cultural heritage images, data, and records will be added. Other leading institutions that have partnered with Creative Commons include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and New York Public Library. Indian galleries, archives, libraries and museums have great collections that we could share with the world. The Ministry of Culture could take the lead to create the Indian equivalent of Europeana and the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and make the entire collection accessible through a CC license. I am sure LIS professionals in India will only be happy to help such a project.

This Machine Makes It Easy for Libraries to Clean Thousands of Books
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Apr '17

See Video at url given. This Machine Makes It Easy for Libraries to Clean Thousands of Books Andrew Liszewski How often have you pulled a rarely needed book off your shelf and needed to > blow a layer of dust off of it? Now imagine what libraries have to deal > with, given the tens of thousands of tomes in their collections. But it > turns out someone’s already invented a machine that cleans books like a > tiny waterless carwash. > The Boston Public Library tweeted this video yesterday of its Depulvera, a > machine made by a company called Oracle (no, not that Oracle) that uses > spinning brushes, a conveyor belt, and a built-in vacuum to suck all the > dirt and debris off a book that’s been sitting on the shelf for ages. The > librarian still needs to feed it books and catch them once cleaned and > ejected, but otherwise the cleaning process is completely automated. > > The machine can handle books over 15 inches tall, and at top speed can > clean up to 12 of them every minute. That’s without causing damage, so it’s > useful for conservators too. It’s also completely portable, letting > librarians wheel it to the forgotten shelves in the library’s basement that > haven’t been accessed in decades. http://sploid.gizmodo.com/this-machine-makes-it-easy-for-libraries-to-clean… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
