SAMPLE DIGITAL LIBRARY COLLECTIONS

Used for presentation at the SUS Joint Meeting, October 1999


American Memory, Library of Congress An example of many different collections created by different institutions, united by a common look and feel.
Ebind specification, University of California, Berkeley Not a production site, but a collection of documents created to illustrate use of Ebind, a proposed standard for structural metadata.
Electronic Open Stacks, University of Chicago A collection of digitized books with similar navigation and functionality as Ebind. Metadata (not full text) for the books is searched using a locally created search engine, ARTFL.
Historic Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Digitized books, maps, and finding aids. The books illustrate a not-very-graceful use of frames. A nice feature is the OCR "text behind" to make them full-text searchable.
Documenting the American South, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Libraries An example of "text in front". These OCR text of these books and pamphlets has been edited, marked up in SGML, and converted to HTML for viewing. 
Making of America, University of Michigan Full text search on these collections is provided by OpenText search software.
Virginia Etext Center, University of Virginia Another example of searching by OpenText.
Scriptorium, Duke University Full text search using Webinator, a product more similar to Internet search engines.
