Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) April 05, 2012 - Blue Robin announced today that the Wellesley Free Library, Wellesley MA, has gone live with Blue Robin's Digital Archive Search Engine for the Wellesley Townsman newspapers.

Seamlessly integrated as part of Blue Robin's WebLibrary™ portal management system, this powerful search engine provides a digital archive containing a copy of Wellesley Townsman newspapers from 1989 dating back to 1906. While this online tool allows an easy viewing of the actual printed town's newspaper, users can search on any keywords or phrases and be able to go back in time to review the content.

"Since we went live with our web site, it has truly become the face of the library. With Blue Robin's help and generous donations, we have been able to upgrade our system to provide our community the best Web experience possible. The Blue Robin's newspaper digital archive proposes a new paradigm for re-purposing old content for new audiences on the web." states Ms. Helen Charbonneau Assistant Director of Technology at the Wellesley Free Library.

Blue Robin's Digital Archive Search Engine (DASE) provides a means for the recovery of history from old newspapers to digital content. "We believe that vast amounts of incredible and valuable news content exist in huge analog archives, but not much of that content has any significant value if not presented in a usable platform. With our archive engine, we want to create a dynamic composition of a complete historical library extending to the latest minute in time" explains Hadi Shavarini.

"We are pleased to be able to continue our collaboration with the Wellesley Public Library to enhance the Website and its functionality to better serve the community. " Our goal is to create a dynamic digital library, one that is user-friendly and understands user queries and returns the results presented in a way useful and comprehensive to the user. " States Hadi Shavarini CEO of Blue Robin.
