Building Library Labs

British Library Labsis an initiative funded by theAndrew W. Mellon Foundationand the British Library which supports and inspires the public use of the British Library’sdigital collections and datain exciting and innovative ways.We actively encourage scholars and innovators to work with us, thereby supporting the British Library’s mission to guarantee that the wealth and diversity of the Library’s intellectual digital heritage is available for the research, creativity and fulfilment of everyone.

British Library Labs

Around the world leading national, state and university libraries are creating 'lab type environments' so that their digitised cultural heritage collections and data can be opened up and re-used for creative, innovative and inspiring projects by everyone such as digital researchers, artists, entrepreneurs and educators.
This two-day event is a forum for discussion and networking, bringing together national, state and university libraries with existing or planned digital 'Labs-style' teams from around the world. It's a chance to network, share lessons learned, and tell each other about innovative projects and services that are using digital collections / data in new and interesting ways.
