PADLs: supporting digital scholarship in digital libraries
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces digital scholarship: aprocess inwhich individuals perform all scholarly work electronically, working entirely with digital media. A proposal is made for patron-augmenteddigital libraries (PADLs): a class of digital libraries designed to support the digital scholarship of its patrons. PADLs not only provide facilities for search and retrieval of library artefacts, but also allow patrons to augment the library’s collection with new artefacts such as annotations, original compositions and organisational structures. F|nally, a prototypePADL (calledSynchrony) providing access todigitised video segments and associated textual transcripts is described. Synchrony allows patrons to search its collection for artefacts, create annotations/original compositions, integrate these artefacts to form synchronized mixed text and video presentations and, after suitable review, publish these presentations into the digital library if desired.
