Data Points

Books as Expressions of Global Cultural Diversity 

This data mining project seeks patterns in the worldwide book publishing industry, as reflective of different cultures’ literary heritage. It stems from UNESCO interest in statistical traces of cultural diversity.

Deaccession Materials Held in Print and Electronic Form 

This work seeks to establish best practice for the disposition of print journals available in electronic form – i.e. when it is most appropriate to retain print back files on campus, when to store offsite, and when to deaccession entirely.

Define Policy and Infrastructure Requirements for Shared Print 

This work aims to characterize the generic business requirements for managing physical research library collections as a shared network resource.

Some of the activities listed here have prototypes or demonstrations you can explore and play with. You can find a list of just those hands-on activities in ResearchWorks.

A few of these activities have generated software that you can download and build upon. Go to our software page for a list of only those activities.

The RLG Partnership has sponsored the activities with this mark.
