Digital Collections (Islandora)

Digital Collections (Islandora)

The library currently utilizes Islandora as the public facing interface to Fedora.  The home page is https://digitalcollections.library.vanderbilt.edu .  Although many items added to Islandora are scanned internally by the Digital Imaging Lab,  items that were born digital or created else where are also included in the system.

  • How to submit items to the repository?
    • If you are interested in creating a collection or adding items to an existing collection,┬á contact LTDS by submitting an INFORM.┬á LTDS can then setup your account for ingestion and help get your process started.
  • What projects/collections are added to the repository
    • In general, a collection can be added if it is unique to Vanderbilt and/or adheres to the library collection development policy.┬á These are reviewed on a case by case basis.
