Who We Are• The National Library of Israel, a 120-old institution• In charge of collecting, preserving, cultivating and
endowing (or distributing) the cultural heritage of the Jewish People and Israeli State’s Citizens
• 4 Main collections: Judaica, Israel, Islam & Muslim world, as well as a general humanities collection

Why GLAM(or: a fishing primer)
• NLI intends to digitize a whole lot of ‘stuff’ • Stuff = books, newspapers, personal archives,
photographs, audio…• Intends to make these ‘as accessible as possible’
(we’ll get to that, later)
• Want to ‘fish where the fish are’

GLAM Wiki NLI
• PjM’s rule no. 1:“Before revolutionizing – do a pilot!”
• Select a collection as a pilot– Digitize…– Release under CC-BY-SA 3.0 License– Use materials to create Wikipedia articles, encourage
re-use, sharing– And link back to the NLI– Enrich NL’s metadata??

Our Pilot
• A collection of portraits of about 3,000 persons (sometimes more than one per person)
• Mostly out-of-©• About 60% digitized

…The © Thing, Again
• As mentioned, most of the material here is out-of-©
• Making sure © is not infringed on is hard work
• Contradictory goals:– Making accessible/reusable as much as possible– Still retaining NLI “benefit of ownership”
• Exactly what pilots are for!
