public BIBLIOGRAPHY on UCD of language archives

We have developed a public bibliography on the user-centered design of language archives. It is stored on Mendeley.com, and anyone can access it and contribute to it. Our bibliography includes more than 120 entries, a mix of websites and scholarly publications. Each publication is annotated with a short literature review written by us. The entries are grouped into the following categories:

• Digital cultural heritage (websites)
• Language archives (websites)
• Literature – anthropologists on documenting languages
• Literature – anthropologists theorizing archives
• Literature – indigenous scholars theorizing archives
• Other Internet resources

The image below shows a sample entry. In order to display the full list of entries, choose the “Documents” option at the top left (in the Mendeley Desktop app). After clicking on a document, choose the “Notes” option at the top right to see the literature review.
