"Most of the information is for people in a certain field. We want Harvard's digital library to be universally available," Cline says.
Mary Maples-Dunn, Pforzheimer Foundation Director of the Schlesinger Library, who is chairing a committee to review digital content proposals, says she has already received 19 proposals from a variety of Harvard museums and libraries.
One project, Dunn says, proposes creating a "digital bookshelf" of research material for people writing about the history of Harvard and Radcliffe.
Cline says a digital library could help cut down on the number of books delivered to campus from the Harvard book depository. Specific book chapters or tables of contents could be digitized so students would be able to browse through them before ordering.
"The project is very much in its infancy," Dunn says. "In many ways, we're still feeling our way through the project to see what a digital library might be."
