Purposeful gaming and BHL: engaging the public in improving and enhancing access to digital texts

Project objectives and benefits Test new means of crowdsourcing to support the enhancement of content in BHL Demonstrate if digital games are an effective tool for analyzing and improving digital outputs from OCR and transcription Benefits of gaming include: – improved access to content by providing richer and more accurate data; – an extension of limited staff resources; and – exposure of library content to communities who may not know about the collections otherwise.
