Linked Data Research in Digital Collections

EZproxy Maintenance

Please be aware that the Libraries' EZproxy server will be offline for scheduled maintenance on Friday, June 12, from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

During this two-hour window, access to all library databases that proxy from the library website will be unavailable. If you are currently working on a research project, please plan your database access around this downtime.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep our systems running smoothly.

Learn more about the concept of linked open data, the cutting edge research conducted by Cory Lampert and Silvia Southwick, and how they are working toward applying their research into more effective ways that users can search our collections.

The article also links to their work on the University Libraries’ Southern Nevada Jewish Heritage Project pilot project, “Navigator,” an online browsing tool that uses the metadata embedded in the files to create visualized links between collections.
