Description
1. Metadata (Liberation collection raw metadata 2022 03 03 and Metadata sorted by authors) of the books in the Chadwyck-Healey Liberation collection (https://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/departments/french-collections/french-special-collections/french-rare-books/chadwyck) was initially extracted from Cambridge University Library catalogue (Alma library management system), whose public interface is iDiscover (https://idiscover.lib.cam.ac.uk/). It was manually edited to be used within the ImagePlot software.
2. Image files produced by the ImagePlot software (in higher resolution than the illustrations in the article). They cross 2 of the 3 parameters: Brightness, Hue, Saturation (please read the article for more details). There are 2 subsets: ImagePlot visualisations for books by the most prolific authors in the Liberation collection; and ImagePlot visualisations for books in each of the core years for the collection: 1944, 1945, 1946.
3. This dataset does not contain the jpg files of the 3000+ digitized Liberation collection book covers, because of copyright, but we provide a list of these files as of 2022 03 03. Please get in touch (french@lib.cam.ac.uk) if you would be interested in accessing the original image files and using them for research purposes.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
