Web Science and Digital Libraries Research Group

Myself standing at the main entrance of Langdell Hall I was honored with the great opportunity of collaborating with the Harvard Library Innovation Lab (LIL) as a Fellow this Summer. Located at Langdell Hall, Harvard Law School , the Library Innovation Lab develops solutions to solve serious problems facing libraries. It consists of an eclectic group of Lawyers, Librarians, and Software Developers engaged in projects such as  Perma.cc , Caselaw Access Project  (CAP), The Nuremberg Project , among many others .  The LIL Team To help prevent link ro t, Perma.cc creates permanent reliable links for web resources.
