"Want to view a rare document in a library across the world? A new app developed by a team of UConn scholars will soon have you covered. A team of UConn faculty and staff have developed an open source web application called Sourcery to make it easier to access some of the world’s most sought-after archives and rare collections....Sourcery gives researchers convenient, remote access to special collections that can’t otherwise be found online. Users just plug in citation information for the desired source material into the app, which can connect researchers to any institution in Sourcery’s service area. A researcher or graduate student in the local area is paid a fee to make a digital version following relevant copyrights, regulations, or policies, and within a matter of hours or days, the documents appear in the user’s inbox."
Any chance this works for the SHD?
I guess someone will have to give it a shot.
No. So far only Boston, NYC & U Conn are available
The article mentions Washington, D.C. and New Haven, Conn. (presumably Yale Univ.), as well.
