Abstract

The Digital Public Library of America has created a process by which rights-free or openly licensed resources that have already been harvested can be copied over into Wikimedia Commons, thus creating a simple path for including those digital collections materials into Wikipedia articles. By meeting internet users where they already are, rather than relying on them to navigate to individual digital libraries, the access and usage of digital assets is dramatically increased, in particular to user groups that might otherwise not have a reason to interact with such digitized resources.

使用DPLA和维基媒体基金会增加数字化资源的使用

美国数字公共图书馆创建了一个程序，通过该程序，可以将已经获得的无权利或公开许可的资源复制到维基媒体共享空间，从而为将这些数字收藏材料纳入维基百科文章创造了一条简单的途径。通过在互联网用户已经所在的地方与他们会面，而不是依靠他们导航到各个数字图书馆，数字资产的访问和使用大大增加，特别是对于那些可能没有理由与这些数字化资源互动的用户群体。
