Thanks for sharing this. Congratulations...Dear Ben<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this. Congratulations on writing your own tool for your own personal job, which archives can now use as well because you have shared it open source. That is so good to hear. I had not heard of the new project to transcribe music scores at the Bodleian Library which looks very interesting, so thanks for sharing that too.Rose Holley - Digital Library Specialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815485499572077644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991487040281464395.post-26477070281555375122012-02-23T06:46:19.554-08:002012-02-23T06:46:19.554-08:00A couple of things I'd like to add:

They've also deployed Scribe on a library-drive site at <a href="http://whats-the-score.org/" rel="nofollow">What's the Score at the Bodleian?</a><br /><br />Second, I'd like to mention a recent article describing a very small-scale crowdsourcing project at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas which uses my own transcription software: <a href="http://www.southwestern.edu/live/news/6475-collaborative-transcription-project" rel="nofollow">Collaborative Transcription Project</a>. I will be speaking about the lessons to be learned for small crowdsourcing projects at IMLS WebWise next week, and hope to have something interesting to say.Ben W.

I illustrated the tips with screenshots from real sites. The article is here: http://www.dlib.org/dlib/march10/holley/03holley.html<br />Hope that helps.Rose Holley - Digital Library Specialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815485499572077644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991487040281464395.post-2532008965118413702012-02-19T20:25:29.906-08:002012-02-19T20:25:29.906-08:00Hi Rose,

I work mostly with students and I think these suit of projects present them with a powerful experiences to engage in history in a real way (and other topics too). It fits very well with contemporary notions of education.<br />Do you have any links or information about what aspects of crowdsourcing projects makes them successful? Ie. What draws the crowd?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
