The Biodiversity Heritage Library is committed to continuously improving access and discoverability of the open access biodiversity literature and archives available at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/. Thanks to the input of numerous BHL users, partners, and other stakeholders, BHL has identified a number of top priorities to enhance the user experience. As we have a very small team of dedicated staff for technical development efforts, we must focus our limited resources on one or two priorities at a time.
Our current year and past year technical priorities are detailed below.
2023 Technical Priorities
2022 Technical Priorities
2021 Technical Priorities
2020 Technical Priorities
Although our small staff and current priorities prevent us from pursuing most collaborative efforts, we do welcome any and all suggestions and will review them as time allows. These can be especially important as we move to new priorities in the future. We also encourage anyone to download and use BHL data and content for their own projects. To share technical recommendations or the results of your own work processing or improving BHL data, please contact us.
