Other institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History and the New York Public Library have also chosen to make curated digitized information freely available on the open Web. Such collections often have original or unique content, and "can more broadly facilitate the creation of new knowledge by an even wider array of scholars and researchers than in the past" (Gasaway, 2010, p. The survey gathered information on the kinds of individuals doing metadata-related work and inquired into the resources, including best practices documentation, that they have at their disposal. Content in OpenDOAR repositories can be as varied as private university scholarly publications or digital collections of music and art from a public library, and includes objects such as journal articles, theses and dissertations, conference papers, software, patents, datasets, learning objects, audio-visual materials, and books ("Content Types," 2014). ./cache/work_htyhexv43jbq7fuxtfo7cqwfum.htm ./txt/work_htyhexv43jbq7fuxtfo7cqwfum.txt
