The ExternalProblem
Competition for attention
Numbers are not enough!
The InternalProblem
Wine = content
Glass = infrastructure
Drinking = access
Wine = content => 32%
Glass = infrastructure => 22%
Drinking = access => 46%
It’s all about impact!
The Good News
This is easy to do, given some prerequisites:
1) Put your text content into a modern search system (Solr, Elastic Search…)
2) Put you image content into a dynamic server (IIPImage, Loris, Djatoka...)*
* ideally IIIF-compatible!
