Abstract

We demonstrate a prototype that takes advantage of open-source software to put a full-text searchable copy of Wikipedia on a Raspberry Pi, providing nearby devices access to content via wifi or bluetooth without requiring internet connectivity. This short paper articulates the advantages of such a form factor and provides an evaluation of browsing and search capabilities. We believe that personal digital libraries on lightweight mobile computing devices represent an interesting research direction to pursue.
