The im+m eLibrary Major Collections

Most of the documents collected to support im+m's research are found in the General Archive. im+m has separated audio and video content into a special Media Library. im+m converts audio into mp3 to facilitate use on mp3 players; video is converted into mp4, the format most frequently found on video pods or vpods.

Relevant information standards and specifications, and hardware and software manuals may be found in the Education and Information Technology Collection. Superseded standards and specifications and manual are placed into a special collection of Superseded Editions to avoid older versions from being retrieved in a general search.

Recently im+m was requested to include financial information for certain U.S. non-profits. im+m also has public financial data for selected companies providing software and services to colleges and universities. This collection is being developed as a special archive called "Corporate Financial and Legal Records." Documents are being added as organizations of interest are identified and the records become available. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is the primary source of documents for non-profit organizations. The Security and Exchange Commission is the primary source for profit-making organizations.

Information on U.S. student financial aid from earlier work is included in a special collection. Because of anticipated research, documents are again being added to this collection. Also information about Canadian student financial aid is being added as well as the two countries share technology.

Background

The eLibrary began in 1998 distributed to our users on CD-ROM. It continues to be a research resource for im+m and our partners. The focus is on topics relevant to our current projects, so coverage of any specific source or topic varies from time to time. The eLibrary is intended to be used in conjunction with other sources. We collect documents for two reasons: Document links tend to disappear from the Web after some time; we wanted to be able to retrieve references used in our work. We wanted a full-text index-rare in 1998-limited to the documents in our library. The documents are now indexed using Adobe Acrobat version 8; because of size the collection earlier versions failed. An immagic.com domain restricted search on Google now works very well.

Beginning in 2001 we included documents referenced in blogs and on lists believing they were especially authoritative if our colleagues selected them for comment. We include blogs where we had permission or the author used Creative Commons licensing-increasingly true, or considered permission implicit from the blog content itself, and where the blog adds substantively to the dialogue. Some documents have limited distribution. The license to include those documents is generally linked to the source itself. IBM Corporation and Microsoft Corporation have been especially prompt in providing these permissions.

With these understandings, please use our eLibrary.
