The International Children's Digital Library: Viewing Digital Books Online
Аннотации
Reading books plays an important role in children's cognitive and social
development. However, many children do not have access to diverse collections of
books due to the limited resources of their community libraries. We have begun
to address this issue by creating a large-scale digital archive of children's
books, the International Children's Digital Library (ICDL). In this paper we
discuss our initial efforts in building the ICDL, concentrating on an informal
evaluation of innovative digital book readers.
