Books in Hawaiian are just a click away


The Advertiser has a feature on Ulukau:

Ulukau, the Web site where Hawaiian-language dictionaries and journals have been posted for several months, has taken a quantum leap in status from digital bookshelf to digital library.

And it's a fully bilingual library, with the user able to click a link that switches between mirror-image versions of the site, one in Hawaiian and one in English.

Beyond the labeling, there's now a growing collection of downloadable online books written in English on Hawaiian topics, posted on a virtual shelf next to the Hawaiian language publications.

The project is the work of the Native Hawaiian Library, a program of Alu Like Inc.; and the Hale Kuamo'o Center for Hawaiian Language at the University of Hawai'i-Hilo.

The Bible, two Hawaiian-English dictionaries, a journal of archival Hawaiian texts, a collection of Hawaiian-language newspapers and a book about Kamehameha have been posted since March, but by the end of the month staffers hope to have more than three dozen titles uploaded either to the Hawaiian-language Ulukau collection or the sister English-language site, the Hawai'i Digital Library.
