It’s for anytime and anyplace you’ve got a Mac, a PC, or an iPod.

Blog post describes two technology concepts for application in libraries including:
"Imagine keyword searching through a book database, only the results come back as a picture of library stacks where the book is highlighted in context, where serendipity and browsing could happen."
and

Touch a book, and open it with an effect similar to the Internet Archive's OpenLibrary page-turner, but using touch screen technology"

Its goal remains to collect, preserve, and facilitate access to films of historic significance that haven't been collected elsewhere. Included are films produced by and for many hundreds of important US corporations, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, community and interest groups, and educational institutions. Getty Images represents the collection for stock footage sale, and almost 2,000 key titles are available here. As a whole, the collection currently contains over 10% of the total production of ephemeral films between 1927 and 1987, and it may be the most complete and varied collection in existence of films from these poorly preserved genres.
