Indiana University IUPUI (Indiana University, School of Medicine Library)

The Indiana University School of Medicine’s library will test a new way of using existing technical standards to help overcome common problems that many libraries and archives face when digitizing historic collections. Too often, differences in the original materials such as varying formats and descriptive vocabularies result in “silos” of digital information that cannot easily be searched, discovered, and presented in a consistent or meaningful way. This project will integrate multiple digitized historical collections and test a new experimental interface to help online users better understand the context and relationships between digital collections.
