All the folks from other institutions who have been so gracious in helping me prepare (and for the invitations to travel elsewhere—looking forward to thanking you in person soon). Those who Iʼve met online via chat and twitter.

Lots of people at the Library work on digital projects, any one of whom could have made this presentation. Let’s add a disclaimer: If you see something cool, they probably did it. If you disagree with something, it’s my fault. ;)

4. 3; 3DE Monday, December 12, 2011 So, I’m in New Zealand. And I found myself wondering what this crowd might want to hear from me, a guy from New York City.

5. Monday, December 12, 2011 I do know that there’s amazing work going on here created by many of the people in this room. But I didn’t quite know what to expect here.

6. 3; 3DE Monday, December 12, 2011 But thinking about it, New Zealand and New York City are remarkably similar.

7. 3; 3DE Monday, December 12, 2011 We’re both island nations (OK, NYC is not technically a nation, but it thinks it’s one.).

16. >#/7&7A%-)7< Monday, December 12, 2011 but I am a product of libraries. I have had several libraries in my life.

17. Monday, December 12, 2011 Library #1: Millville. I hung out here, played Dungeons and Dragons here, met the ﬁrst girl I ever kissed here. (And the second, for that matter.) I don’t remember borrowing a lot of books.

18. Monday, December 12, 2011 It was ﬁve minutes from my house. I spent a lot of formative time there.

19. Monday, December 12, 2011 Library #2: Mabel Smith Douglass, Rutgers University in New Jersey.

20. Monday, December 12, 2011 Lateral exploration, refuge. I don’t remember borrowing a lot of books.

21. Monday, December 12, 2011 Library #3: Bobst Library, New York University. Where I got serious, ﬁnished my BS and learned to do proper research. Didn’t love this library (intimidating and vertiginous).

22. Monday, December 12, 2011 I sat here.

23. Monday, December 12, 2011 After I got my degree, I spent a few years selling soap. But I was looking around for something with a bit more social import.

24. Monday, December 12, 2011 In 2008, I arrived at the NYPL. I draw on those prior library experiences, which were very emotional in nature and don’t ﬁt neatly in boxes (and certainly weren’t all about books).

25. Monday, December 12, 2011 That background has made me realize that a sappy as it might sound, libraries are largely supported by the love patrons have for them, and not just the items they provide.

26. Monday, December 12, 2011 So, a bit about this library

We have four major research libraries, each with a different focus. Unusually for a collection of this scope, they are completely free and open to the public. The only prerequisite to gain access to the research collections is curiosity.

Wonderfully, over the years, some of the most ephemeral, “worthless” things (advertisements, ﬂiers, menus, baseball cards, etc) have become the most valuable since no one else preserved them.

29. Monday, December 12, 2011 I often feel like I work in the warehouse in the last scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. There is more amazing stuff in here than can be processed by any one brain.

37. Monday, December 12, 2011 When I think about the process by which I prioritize projects, the metaphor that comes to mind is this one from an essay about writing by the American author Annie Dillard. [read]

38. Monday, December 12, 2011 I wasn’t sure about using this metaphor, so I went looking for images in our picture collection to illustrate it. http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchdetail.cfm? trg=1&strucID=431722&imageID=1117611

39. Monday, December 12, 2011 The ﬁrst image that came up was this one from New Zealand, taken not far from here, so I took that as a good sign.

40. "%/7#)9%(#?'+7A%+9%?'8L%#-%0#/7&7#)?I Monday, December 12, 2011 The idea of the chopping block is that it’s easiest to hit your target when you aim past it. So what does that look like in a digital library context? Here’s a brief history:

118. Monday, December 12, 2011 The ofﬁcial library subject headings link to other items on that same subject.

119. Monday, December 12, 2011 But presented alongside the ofﬁcial subject headings are any lists which contain this book. These lists are created by patrons or staff, and in some cases, as seen here, we've even seen users of other libraries copying lists which were originally created by NYPL.

120. Monday, December 12, 2011 It's also possible to explore by patron-created tags, which are short descriptive labels that can highlight topics or content in a more informal manner. In this case, for example, it's unlikely that the ofﬁcial catalog record would have contained "brutal dictatorship" and "hilarious", both of which actually apply to this book.
