The University of California Santa Barbara will hold a series of meetings to develop strategies around library collections that support computationally-driven research and teaching. Partner organizations include University of Pennsylvania, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Penn State University, Emory University, and Texas A&M University, and meeting attendees will include librarians, archivists, museum professionals, technologists, researchers, and practitioners. The project will lead to the creation of a framework to support library collections as data, the identification of methods for making computationally-amenable library collections more discoverable, use cases and user stories for such collections, and guidance for future technical development.
