I was an M.Sc. student between 2011 and 2013. I was exploring principled Digital Library (DL) design, and more specifically, the problem I worked on revolved around investigating the feasibility, and effect/impact of simple DL architectures. I was based in the Digital Libraries Laboratory where I worked under the supervision of Professor Hussein Suleman. |
