Digital Public Library of America Service Hub Website Analysis

This whitepaper discusses the results of an analysis of Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) service hub websites in order to prepare for developing a website for the Illinois Digital Heritage Hub (IDHH). Service hub websites were examined in order to develop an understanding of possible audiences, content and features, and design and presentation among other service hub websites. In order to analyze websites, an evaluation rubric and database were created in order to collect data. Analysis of the data provided insight into user bases, content, and presentation choices common across service hub sites that laid the ground for design recommendations, maintenance strategies, and web development platform options for the IDHH website.Illinois State LibraryOpe

Digital Curation Program of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA)

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is a digital library that strives to serve the public through digital collections accumulated from a wide variety of partners. Our chosen topic for the DPLA exhibit project is Perspectives on the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War remains a controversial topic of national interest, making it a topic of depth and of many perspectives. Our goals with this exhibit were to gather different perspectives of the war through personal stories, the media, presidential administrations of the war, military personnel, and the general public, including famous figures. We strove to demonstrate the variety of perspectives on the Vietnam War through a variation of digital objects and content that will be engaging for users: both black and white and color photos, videos, and audio files. Furthermore, we wanted to ensure that our digital materials are of high quality, properly documented, and easy to search and find thus all of our objects are from DPLA and are from usable original sources. This poster will describe our processes for organizational, object selection, building our exhibit, attainment of our goals, and detailed steps of our overall operation. The poster will also include details about the minor issues and bumps that occurred while reaching our final product as well as the team members’ perspectives on the project as a whole including: problems, words to for the wise, and triumphs
