Features Update: A closer look at what's new Webinar Invite: How to build a digital newspaper collection
Hello friend of Veridian,
Our developers have been busy upgrading Veridian digital collections. Take a closer look at two of the latest features in use on the Boston College and Washington State Library digital newspaper collections.
User Text Correction Dashboard
TheWashington Digital
Newspapers site has been upgraded with our new User Text Correction (UTC) Dashboard. This page brings together key information on one page to raise the profile of text correction and encourage people to get involved.
Included are ‘How-to’ guides and ‘Recommended items to be corrected’ to help readers select which content to work on.
The dashboard also displays 'Text Correction Statistics' to track the progress of community contributions. By registering on the website you can even vie to be a Top Text Correction Champion (TTCC) to "help prove humans are better than computers."
Search results bar graph for Boston College Newspapers
Cannoli anyone? When searching on the Boston College Newspapers site you
can now see your search results presented in a bar graph alongside the search results snippets.
By hovering over the graph, you can see at a glance the number of
search results returned within each year. Graph results can be also be filtered by publication, category, author and wordcount.
