DESCRIPTION
I was presenting my masters work to my colleagues in the digital libraries research group. It was a 15 minute presentation on what I have done thus far and how I intend to proceed. And Yes! I've decided to maintain this slide template.

A Lightweight Digital Library Framework
May 24, 2012
Overview
Motivation
● Complexity of existing solutions– Preservation costs
● Initial, maintenance and recovery costs● Funding
– Resource limitation● Skills and education
– Internet Bandwidth● Expensive in developing countries
Previous research projects
● 2007– Digital Bleek& Lloyd
● DL without databases
● 2010– CALJAX
● Hybrid online/offline DL collections
● 2011– Bonolo
Research questions
● Is it feasible to implement DL tools and services that are based on simple architectures?
– How should simplicity be defined?– What are the comparative advantages
and disadvantages of simple architectures in comparison to existing systems?
Plan A
Initial plan
● Pilot study– Digital library collection prototype
● Theory derivation– simplyCT principles– Case study of existing tools
● Design and Implementation– Extension of prototype DLS (Bonolo)– Collection integration
Progress made
● Research Proposal● Definition of simplicity
– Derivation of principles
● Publication– DJLIT: In Search of Simplicity
● Background chapter– Draft #1
Plan B
TODO list
● Implementation– SimplyCT-base tool: August 2012
● Evaluation– User study: July 2012– UX study: August 2012– Effectiveness: October 2012
● Dissertation– Submission: February 2012
