[As told to Merrilee Proffitt] NYPL Labs represents a shift in the approach to digitization, which is understanding digitization as part of an organic whole. NYPL labs is not about digitization production, which is now distributed across the library. NYPL Labs is a place for experimentation, a place to try things out. failure is acceptable and expected. They are not attempting to build everything from scratch – taking bits and pieces of digital library components built elsewhere and put them into play in the labs environment. NYPL Labs is not a traditional digital library unit, if there is such a thing.
