New Media Consortium Horizon Report: Library Edition
by Lori Phillips 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hello all, I'm excited to share that the New Media Consortium has released their first Horizon Report for Libraries. For years NMC has produced Horizon Reports for the academic and museum sectors, and those reports are invaluable for monitoring shifts in the use of technology in informal and formal learning environments. You can see the full report here: http://www.nmc.org/publications/2014-horizon-report-library The Wikipedia Library and DPLA are both mentioned. I've served on the Horizon Report: Museum Edition advisory board for three years, and I'm a contributing editor for the NMC blog, where I discuss Wikipedia frequently. I've always been impressed by the New Media Consortium's process for incorporating diverse expertise and perspectives into their reports. Hopefully you all find this useful, as well. Best, Lori -- Lori Byrd Phillips Digital Marketing Content Coordinator The Children's Museum of Indianapolis 703.489.6036 | http://loribyrdphillips.com/

store.carare.eu ?
by Strainu 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hi, Browsing through the Europeana apps, I've reached this page: http://store.carare.eu/landing-page-ha.php?id=iid:2482589&eid=HA:AB-II-a-A-… and I have a few questions about it: 1. I know Carare is/was a research project that brought some content to Europeana. What is store.carare.eu? Is it some kind of content delivery system/constant URL provider for institutions that don't have such an infrastructure? 2. I see no navigation capabilities. How can I find other similar entries? Do I have to go through Europeana for that? 3. I see the rights section says "CCO 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication for metadata describing this monument" - does that include all the fields in that page? 4. Looking at the associated media, I see no additional metadata or rights. Is this intended? Thanks, Strainu
