The information structure, architecture of Ocean State Librarian brings together traditional methods of information access with current best practices in technology. Knowledge pathways include: government & law , health sciences , historical societies , government and private archives, databases (using the broadest interpretation), libraries and museums , mapping , news , Rhode Island cities and towns , library marketing techniques and various iterations of search.

The central focus of OceanStateLibrarian.com is the information resources located in Rhode Island, USA with knowledge pathways leading to and from there. The peripheral focus includes knowledge management systems and experimental user interface designs (UI) - testing elements that may enhance the delivery of information.

Databases including search engines will be bound to the portal as they are developed. Special attention and emphasis will be given to the goal of providing end users with the guidance needed to effectively navigate the knowledge pathways.

Margaret Gould Stewart formerly of Lycos now leads Google's YouTube User Experience Team


The YouTube copyright system compares original reference files against 100 years of uploaded video every day. YouTube users register original content with YouTube and select guidelines for use the YouTube copyright system. YouTube provides their system for free and users may register a YouTube Audio ID and a YouTube Video ID . The IDs tag your original work and allow YouTube's copyright system to detect copyright infringement.

 

YouTube provides a "Copyright Verification Tool to help search for material they believe to be infringing" the steps to obtaining that tool start with signing up for a YouTube account and following this application procedure .

 

YouTube provides a manual takedown process in addition to this automated procedure that may be more appropriate for limited users.
