Introduction Digitization started at Public Library Cacak in 2006 First project: web galleries of scanned and manually described postcards and photos from Local History Collections Creation of new web site assumed that web content should be easy accessible for users – getting closer toward E-Library
New website of Library in September 2006 –it comprises electronic publications along the first version of Digital Library The Name – E-Library vs Digital Library –Conclusion: Digital Library is part of E-Library, maybe the most important one Stress on information –not static content, better opportunity for information search –not PDF for download, better full text (OCR)
Current work Speeding up things from late 2007 –help of freelance programmer –creation of database –making separate website –two successful government financed projects, for equipment and paid stuff for digitization –paying more attention on standards –extensive digitization of Local History Collections in 2008
Results Digital Library project website more than scanned and photographed pages and counting pages published online, fully searchable (by author, title, keyword, full text) Blog “Digitization and Digital Libraries”
