Hi! This is Devin. I’m excited to announce that the Prelinger Library Stacks Explorer is now live. The link is https:\/\/prelingerlibrary.org\/stacks<\/a>, and we’ve also added it to the menu bar (above). Give it a whirl!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

It’s a visually-oriented web interface, which aims to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Provide off-site researchers with a way to look around and get an idea of what’s available.<\/li>\n
  2. Provide a connection from the library’s physical space to the digitized material in its Archive.org collection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’ve been told the formal name for this is a “discovery service,” but \u2014 as with the library itself \u2014 this one is a little idiosyncratic: It’s primarily built around photographs, and is essentially a DIY project.<\/p>\n

    Please note: This is not a full catalog. The tags and titles included here are pretty loose; they provide more of a general idea of the library’s areas of interest and holdings.<\/p>\n

    If you’re curious about this project’s technical, conceptual, or esoteric particulars, the “About” page<\/a> has the documentation and source code. And if you would prefer to browse the Stacks Explorer\u2019s content as a text-only list, we’ve got you covered<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    So this is version 1, and you might run into some hiccups out there in the wild. If you have feedback, questions,\u00a0 poems, or recipes, feel free to drop me a line<\/a>. Barring some unexpected diversion(s), the plan is to make a few large-ish updates over 2019.<\/p>\n

    Cheers and happy wandering!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
