Project Gutenberg is lauded as one of the earliest digitisation initiatives, a mythology that Michael Hart, its founder perpetuated through to his death in 2011. In this book, the author re-examines the extant historical evidence to challenge some of Hart's bolder claims.

Der öffentliche Diskurs in Bezug auf kulturelle Umbrüche durch die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung ist von einem hohen Maß an Skepsis und Ablehnung gegenüber neuen Technologien geprägt. Das gilt - abgesehen von den Speerspitzen des Fortschritts - besonders auch für jene Branchen, die professionell mit Literatur zu tun haben, wie den Buchhandel, das Verlagswesen, die Literaturwissenschaft oder auch die AutorInnenverbände. Genauere Analysen zeigen jedoch, dass die Buchkultur nicht in der Digitalisierung endet, sondern sich in ihr fortsetzt. Denn viele Vorzüge der dezentralen Wissensbereitstellung durch digitale Medien sind lediglich perfektionierte, beschleunigte und in der Handhabung vereinfachte Praktiken, die sich bereits in der Buchkultur durchgesetzt haben und weiterhin unsere Vorstellung vom Umgang mit geistigen Inhalten bestimmen. Literatur und Digitalisierung informiert wissenschaftlich fundiert über die Veränderungen in der Produktion, Verbreitung und Rezeption von Literatur durch Digitalisierung und resümiert bisherige Entwicklungen mit Fokus auf den deutschsprachigen Raum. Namhafte ExpertInnen verschaffen einen Überblick über einen dynamischen, oft als disparat empfundenen Bereich. Übersichtlichkeit und leichte Handhabbarkeit sollen den Abbau vorhandener Unklarheiten und Mythisierungen erleichtern.

For over twenty years, digitisation has been a core element of the modern information landscape. The digital lifecycle is now well defined, and standards and good practice have been developed for most of its key stages. There remains, however, a widespread lack of coordination of digitisation initiatives, both within and across different sectors, and there are disparate approaches to selection criteria. The result is ‘silos’ of digitised content. Stepping away from the Silos examines the strategic context in the UK since the 1990's and its effect on collaboration and coordination of exemplar digitisation initiatives in higher education and related sectors. It identifies the principal criteria for content selection that are common to the international literature in this field. The outputs of the exemplar projects are examined in relation to these criteria. A range of common practices and patterns in content selection appears to have developed over time, forming a de facto strategy from which several areas of critical mass have emerged. The book discusses the potential to improve strategic collaboration and coordinated selection by building on such a platform, and considers planning options in the context of work on national digitisation strategies in the UK and internationally. Summarises the rise of publicly funded digitisation in the UK from the 1990's to date and identifies the need to improve coordination and content selection criteria Reviews the role of digitisation in government and organisational strategies from the 1990's to the present day Examines the strategic position of collaboration within and across different organisations Identifies common selection criteria and outlines the coverage of exemplar projects Discusses the apparent emergence of a de facto selection strategy and the potential for national strategic planning of digitised content based on existing outputs and improved collaboration

Nel 2012 i libri del fondo antico della Biblioteca di scienze sociali di Firenze presentano i primi segnali di deterioramento delle legature, a causa delle forti escursioni di temperatura e umidità dell'ambiente di conservazione. Mentre l'Ateneo realizza un nuovo impianto di climatizzazione, la Regione Toscana e i funzionari della Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze elaborano un progetto per la messa in sicurezza dell'intero fondo, per rallentare il processo di deterioramento dei materiali e prevenire o stabilizzare i danni già presenti. L'innovativa metodica messa in atto nella Biblioteca è stata illustrata in un seminario tenuto il 24 novembre 2016 presso il Polo di scienze sociali dell'Università di Firenze e il presente volume raccoglie gli interventi dei partecipanti.
