Evolution Projects+ is to develop an integrated repository of digital, literary content, which will be fully available to the general public, without any restriction as to its availability, display and retrieval on a web portal, in line with the standards of large lending libraries.
The object of the project is the production, digitization, documentation and deposit of the material of the Hellenic Book Club (ELBI), in accordance with international good practices and specifications, as well as the availability of this material through a web services platform that will be developed entirely by our company’s developers.
In the framework of the project “CREATION OF A DIGITAL STORAGE OF BOOK CRITICS – ELVINET” Evolution Projects+ is going to digitize, using the latest technology, the entire valuable literary archive of the Hellenic Book Club, with more than 8.000 book review cards published over the last 25 years, 20.000 book titles, as well as cultural activities of ELBI and its lending libraries.
The specifications that will be followed for the material to be digitised and documented have been developed by the National Documentation Centre (EKT) and have emerged on the basis of many years of national and international experience in infrastructures for open, documented, digital content, while they are based on international practices, both at the level of European countries and the EU as a whole (e-content, ICT PSP, e-infrastructure etc.a.) in European portals for the collection and distribution of particularly large-scale content (Europeana and DRIVER), as well as good examples of individual international repositories and large-scale digital content systems (Open Library of the Internet Archive, Google Books and Art Project, etc.).
The completion of the project will enable the full utilization of new technologies for the promotion and distribution of digital cultural content to visitors, as well as the promotion of the entire project in modern social media through the creation and design of an information page and profile of the Hellenic Book Club, inaugurating a new page in book criticism.
