Experiments on Access to Digital Libraries: How can Images and Text be Used Together?

Summary: Experiments compare image-based and text-based access in digital libraries, showing similar user success, strengths for each, and potential for combined use. Results favor hybrid use and a long-run shift to ASCII text via OCR during the transition. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
