Capturing and Archiving the Digital
Outputs of Research as Collection Material
The British Library, Cambridge University Library, Trinity College Library Dublin, and others are following new regulations known as legal deposit to ensure that temporary materials such as websites and e-books can be collected and preserved: go.nmc.org/collect

Technologies to Watch 2014
TWO TO THREE YEARS:
FOUR TO FIVE YEARS:
• Electronic Publishing• Mobile Apps
• Bibliometrics and Citation Technologies
• Open Content
• The Internet of Things• Semantic Web and Linked Data
ONE YEAR OR LESS:
Electronic Publishing
Vectors is a USC scholarly journal that focuses on how technology transforms, and/or impedes social relations. It uses a peer-reviewed format and publishes only multimedia works: go.nmc.org/vect

Mobile Apps
The Bavarian State Library in Germany offers multiple mobile apps that allow users to explore ancient texts with augmented reality, location-based features, and geo-referencing in historical maps: go.nmc.org/bava
Bibliometric and Citation Technologies
ORCiD provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes one researcher from another, and supports automated linkages between a person and their professional activities ensuring that each person’s work is recognized: go.nmc.org/orcid

Semantic Web and Linked Data
The AV portal of the German National Library of Science and Technology provides multimedia retrieval methods for searching within high-grade scientific films. Digital Object Identifiers enable the films and video segments to be cited as easily as texts: go.nmc.org/tib
