Web-scale discovery services: principles, applications, discovery tools and development hypotheses

second part. Hence, the phrase in the title of the book: use and re-use. There is potentially a very wide audience for this book, beyond librarians and archivists. Reading the first part, I found myself thinking that these chapters at least should be mandatory reading for the parent organisations of libraries and archives and, especially, anyone who claims that everything should be digitised and made available online. The KPAP archive is small compared to other museum and gallery archives and these chapters make clear how much work is involved in digitising even a small archive. The remaining chapters are more specialised, comprising a mix of case studies and theory (even, philosophy) of archives. Finally, the brief, three-sentence description of this book on the publisher’s website does not mention the KPAP and, in my view, fails to do justice to this book. By not mentioning the KPAP in the description, it potentially misses a large audience for this book: artists, curators, and art historians.
