About the session
10.00am, 31st March 2015
Ben O’Steen, British Library Labs
Through the British Library Labs project, work to expose the British Library’s openly licensed digital content in new ways – work such as the Mechanical Curator – has led to hundreds of millions of extra views on our content and dozens of creative, research-based and entrepreneurial outputs that are known about. The Mechanical Curator is one of a number of such initiatives working with researchers and others. The Labs project seeks to bring the British Library’s existing content and researchers together, to explore and map out new areas of research and use approaches such as crowdsourcing.
