I’d be happy to help with this one. For probably 80% of systems, I can identify the system within about 30 seconds after visiting it, and I can share the visual clues that tip me off. More broadly, however, I think this speaks to a different need (for DPLA, or for statewide and regional collaboratives), which is a directory of collections with system information. I recently did a project for the Oregon State Library in which I compiled a lot of that information, as I have done in the past for Texas. The spreadsheet with Oregon data is on my website (www.dcplumer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Inventory-Oregon-DigitalCollections-final.xlsx), but to be truly useful the data needs to be machine actionable. How might this work?
