Facilitating content creation and content research in building the city of lit digital library

Given the current context, an age of technological innovations, thinking about old books in the printed format and not correlating them to the new moment is perhaps not the best of the alternatives, especially if we consider paper’s fragility. However, a question is necessary: What, after all, are the advantages of using digital support in the process of preserving a literary collection? Regarding the possible answers, we can say that there are many benefits gained from this process. Among them, we have the ease and speed of access to data and information, in addition to the democratization of knowledge. Thus, thinking of such advantages, the present study aims to present the possibilities of research in digital collections, as well as the preservation practices executed with literary collections in the city of Caxias-MA. In this article, we detail quantitative and qualitative researches that consist of data organization and systematization processes, available on the website Digital Library of Literature in Maranhão (https://www.literaturamaranhense.ufsc.br), these researches are based on the ideas of Boeres and Faria (2012), Braga and Diemer (2010), Cúrcio (2006), Di Giorgi (1980), Freitas (2007), Greenhalgh (2011), Lopes (2017), Mota (2014), Monteiro (2009), Reifschneider (2008), Rocha (2012), Santarém Segundo (2014), Sousa and Assis (2018), Sousa, Correia and Assis (2018), Scheibe (2008) and Valle and Araújo (2005).

Hardware And Software System

The paper describes methods of formation and presentation of digital objects of various types (printed publications, archival materials, museum objects, audio and video materials) for the Digital Library “Scientific Heritage of Russia”. A digital publishing hardware and software system has been created within the framework of the digital library project. The digital publishing hardware and software system consists of five subsystems: dispatching subsystem, content description subsystem, digitization subsystem, generating digital publications subsystem and content control and storage subsystem. Dispatching subsystem organizes the work on content creation. Content description subsystem describes objects of the digital library. Digitization subsystem produces digital copies of library items, archival and museum objects. Digital publications subsystem creates the final products: digital books, 3D models, etc. Content control subsystem controls the quality of the scanned books and metadata.

The City

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
