Abstract

Based on the book Exploring Digital Libraries, this ALA Techsource webinar examines cultural heritage collections in the context of the social web and online communities. Calhoun and Brenner explore the possibilities and provide examples of digital libraries' shift toward social platforms, along the way discussing how to increase discoverability and community engagement, for instance through crowdsourcing.
