I’ve started compiling a list of “library labs” — web sites where libraries of all kinds publicize their experimental, “beta,” or trial services. The pages linked below offer a wealth of ideas and innovations.
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) — MIT Libaries’ Betas
- University of Michigan — MLibrary Labs
- University of Minnesota — Digital Library Development Lab
- New York Public Library — NYPL Labs
- University of Pennsylvania — PennLabs
- University of Virigina — Library Lab
- Vanderbilt University — Test Pilot
The full list will be maintained as the Directory of Experimental Library Tools.
Please contribute your own library’s site if it’s not listed already.
Great idea Ken, these will be a useful source of ideas. On the page where it will be maintained it refers to RSS feeds for legislation.
thanks
Thanks, Peta! I updated the page. (I let my template copying get the best of me…)
