Anthologizr: On demand e-publishing from OA repositories
This project will develop an innovative application, based on existing open source software and open standards, exploiting the well-established availability within
HE libraries of Open Access repository software.
Using the EPrints repository software as its basis, the project will develop an extension to enable and support the creation of user-defined anthologies of items in the repository, using the open EPUB e-book standard. The output will be a fully functional demonstrator of Anthologizr on an EPrints repository instance, installed on at least one live EPrints repository, demonstrating the potential of this approach to generate ad hoc e-books for use in learning or research scenarios.
In addition a report/article and a body of work via dissemination channels (project blog, conferences/ workshop) describing the experience and conclusions of the project, about the overall feasibility and benefits of the approach.
Below is a brief video presentation by the Anthologizr team introducing the project:
