Features and BenefitS

• Supports the display of newspapers, books, journals, and all printed materials that have been digitized to the METS/ALTO standard.
• Includes “Pan and Scan” technology for easily scrolling through an entire document and viewing it at different zoom levels.
• Allows both “article-level” and “page-level” display of digitized materials.
  
• Includes an automated clipping function for “article-level” material.
  
• Includes the built-in ability to browse the collection by date (calendar) and by publication.
  
• Includes advanced search functions, including “fuzzy search” to improve retrieval on materials containing errors from an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process.
  
• Is hugely customizable, and can be modified to have a completely new “look and feel”, or to integrate with existing library software systems (e.g. federated search systems, document management systems, authentication or digital rights management systems).
  
• Comes with the choice of two default user interfaces - “classic” or “modern” (for those who don’t wish to create a customized look and feel).
  
• Is hugely scalable — multi-million page collections are possible with only relatively modest hardware.
  
• Is fast and efficient — large numbers of concurrent users are supported even when run on inexpensive server hardware. There is no need to buy large and expensive hardware systems to host busy collections.
  
• Makes the most of available digital storage space by only storing the original archival master images (i.e. the original “scans” of the materials). Derivative images are created on-the-fly, unlike competing systems which must pre-generate and store large numbers of digital images.
  

Installation support and basic customization is included with the core system. This includes:

• Modification of logos, fonts, colors, and text, in either of the two default user interfaces.
  
• Search engine optimization, for those wishing their collection to be accessible through Google and other web search engines.
  
• Configuration of analytics tools to allow the usage of the collection to be monitored.
  
• Optimization of the system to suit the specific digitized materials.
  
• Configuration of an appropriate URL.
  
• Extensive support and maintenance options, ensuring your digital collection continues to run smoothly and keeps pace with ever-evolving technologies.
