    07/15/2011 Briefing Paper on Progress and Opportunities for HathiTrust Ithaka S+R for the HathiTrust Strategic Advisory Board 15 July 2011 Executive Summary The Strategic Advisory Board for HathiTrust, a library-based initiative to provide preservation and access for library content digitized by Google and other parties, is preparing for a Constitutional Convention in October 2011. At the Convention, representatives from the libraries that participate in HathiTrust will gather to discuss the future direction of the initiative. To help frame the agenda for the Convention, Ithaka S+R has conducted research on the attitudes and needs of existing HathiTrust partner libraries and libraries that do not yet participate, to help the Board frame the most important issues for the October meeting. Drawing on a survey of HathiTrust participating libraries, interviews with HathiTrust participating libraries and libraries that do not yet participate in HathiTrust, and other research, we see the following as important next steps and Convention discussion items for HathiTrust: • Clearly defining objectives for the next 3-5 years, possibly mapping out the rationale for those objectives in the context of a revised mission statement, and enhancing the pipeline of information about HathiTrust’s strategic priorities to partner libraries. Respondents to a survey of HathiTrust partner libraries and follow-up interviewees spoke in particular about the need for clear communication from the HathiTrust staff and leadership, noting in several cases that they have not always felt well apprised of contemplated new initiatives. To the extent that HathiTrust is able to provide a more constant flow of information about proposed initiatives, that would seem to be valued by partner libraries.

    The Project Gutenberg EBook of Things To Make, by Archibald Williams This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net Title: Things To Make Author: Archibald Williams Release Date: January 11, 2005 [EBook #14664] Language: English Character set encoding: ASCII *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THINGS TO MAKE *** Produced by Don Kostuch Transcriber's Note: If the pdf version of the book is viewed using facing pages with even numbered pages on the left, you will see a close approximation of the original book. Notations of the form "(1,650) 2" appear at the bottom of some pages; they are probably printer's references for assembling to book. The text only version is of limited use because of the many figures used. I recommend the pdf or rtf versions. Some of the projects should be approached with care since they involve corrosive or explosive chemicals, electricity and steam boilers. Do not use lead solder, particularly on cooking utensils. Whether you simply want to travel back into the mind of a young boy at the beginning of the twentieth century, or want to try your hand at some interesting projects in carpentry, machinery, kites and many other areas, have fun. The following four pages have definitions of unusual (to me) terms used frequently in the text. Terms Batten - Narrow strip of wood.

This paper proposes large-scale parallel corpora of English- language publications for exploring the effects of optical character recog- nition (OCR) errors in the scanned text of digitized library collections on various corpus-based research. We collected data from: (1) Project Gutenberg (Gutenberg) for a human-proofread clean corpus; and, (2) HathiTrust Digital Library (HathiTrust) for an uncorrected OCR-impacted corpus. Our data is parallel regarding the content. So far as we know, this is the first large-scale benchmark dataset intended to evaluate the effects of text noise in digital libraries. In total, we collected and aligned 19,049 pairs of uncorrected OCR-impacted and human-proofread books in six domains published from 1780 to 1993. Keywords: Parallel Text Dataset · Optical Character Recognition · Digital Library · Digital Humanities · Data Curation 1 Introduction The rapid growth of large-scale curated datasets in digital libraries (DL) has made them an essential source for computational research among various schol- arly communities, especially in digital humanities (DH) and cultural analytics (CA). Particularly, recent studies in DH and CA have popularly employed state- of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) techniques for corpus analysis.
