Chapter 3. Users and Readers

Abstract

Chapter 3 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 56, no. 7), “One Country One Library,” focuses on what the OCOL platform offers to users and readers and explains how the team set out to develop a user experience meant to surpass the user experience offered by existing open digital libraries. The platform’s versatility is explained in the context of several different user types: general (or lay) readers, elementary and high school students, college and university students, various educators (including teachers as well as professors), notable figures, researchers and scientists, and tourists and visitors.
