Databite No. 32: NYPL Labs

NYPL Labs Data Landscapes of the New York Public Library April 9, 2015 - 12:00 pm Data & Society 36 West 20th Street, 11th Floor New York, NY, 10011 Databites are Data & Society's weekly lunch conversations focused on unresolved questions and timely topics of interest to our community. To request an invitation, please email events at data society dot net. Ben Vershbow (NYPL Labs director) and Shana Kimball (NYPL Labs public programs & outreach) on Data Landscapes of the New York Public Library: NYPL Labs is an interdisciplinary team working to reposition library collections for the Internet, and to explore new roles and tactics for libraries in a data-driven society. In this talk, Ben Vershbow and Shana Kimball will explore the emerging role of the library as a data aggregator, curator, and clearinghouse. Specifically, they will look at: how NYPL is working with the public to mine data from historical materials (and how some of that data is being used); how they’re beginning to transition from siloed catalogs and websites into a linked data and API-driven library platform; and they’ll explore together, in conversation, how the role of libraries might evolve as a key part of the civic information infrastructure of communities, and how libraries might support data-driven research in a public context.
