NYCPL Biblion: Frankenstein hands-on

2012-06-06
so what we've got here is the new york public library's biblia nap basically it takes archive material and it turns it into a magazine-style interface last year they did the new york world's fair and this year it's Frankenstein so it's actually a pretty cool interface in here you have four different sections each one based on a different theme and that's portrait mode turn into the landscape mode you've got all the primary sources that they used the major one being the primary text of Frankenstein this is a draft on loan from Oxford and when you look at it you can toggle it page 4 page with a later published version so you can see what's changed and read along with it inside each section you have the equivalent of files in a folder if you tap on one of them then you get this interface it'll show you all of the information you can sort of scroll through it you can see your bookmarks marked in red and then if you move through it here you can tap on any of these photographs and they've got a lot of stuff here a lot of movie stills really since that's one of the major parts of Frankenstein and then you can look through and look at some social features which I'm actually not that crazy about but it's an edition from last year if you enter a question it might be featured by the new york public library and i'm actually hoping that this is going to become a regular occurrence because this is a fantastic presentation of it if you don't have an ipad it's all going to be available online but this is really a great way to experience it you
