HathiTrust: Status and challenges in consolidating the digitized published record (cancelled)
(This event has ended.)
Unfortunately Mr. John Wilkin, Executive Director of HathiTrust, Associate University Librarian at the University of Michigan, is unable to come to Tokyo due to unforeseen circumstances. Accordingly the lecture meeting on August 1 “HathiTrust: Status and challenges in consolidating the digitized published record” will be cancelled. We will announce on the website when the lecture is rescheduled. Please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.
The National Diet Library will invite Mr. John Wilkin, Executive Director of HathiTrust, Associate University Librarian at the University of Michigan, and hold a lecture meeting.
HathiTrust is a well known corporate repository project launched in 2008 by a partnership of 13 university libraries in the United States. Now, with over 60 partnering institutions, about 5,500,000 book titles and about 270,000 serial titles are digitized as of May 2012.
As the Executive Director of HathiTrust, Mr. Wilkin will give an outline of HathiTrust project, its status and future strategy in consolidating the digitized published record. After the lecture, a discussion will be conducted among Mr. Wilkin, Dr. Ikki Ohmukai (Associate Professor, National Institute of Informatics), Prof. Hiroya Takeuchi (Faculty of Letters, Chiba University / Librarian of Chiba University Library) and Mr. Toshiyasu Oba (Director of the Digital Information Distribution Division, Digital Information Department, National Diet Library).
