  3. “What do you do with a million books? Or a million pages of newspaper? Or a million photographs of artwork?” NEH, Digging into Data “Scale changes everything.” Evan Owens, Portico

  4. UF Digital Collections & SobekCM Collections from UF, partners in Florida and the Caribbean, and others Over 260,000 items Over 6 million pages

  5. Why we made an App Audience • Quantity: over 50% of campus users have internet-capable mobile devices (over 60% of faculty) • Quality of use / level of need for access via mobile devices continues to grow

  6. Why we made an App Building for the future • Supporting newer technologies (iPad, touchtables) • Supporting new types of research (digital humanities, digital scholarship) • Supporting and showing proof of interoperability to encourage new collaborations • Supporting partners from other types of institutions – not only libraries, archives, and museums

  7. Digital Library Platform • Development on UFDC began in 2005 • Initial plan was to use Greenstone “out of the box” • Due to limitations at the time, we built a presentation layer over Greenstone Presentation Layer Greenstone

  8. SobekCM born and grows… • Presentation layer grows, with a distinct logic layer and multiple data sources as the dependence on Greenstone shrinks • Greenstone just used to build the Lucene full-text indexes Presentation Layer Logic Layer Data Layer Caches Database Metadata Files Lucene Indexes

  9. SobekCM • Multiple presentations possible within Presentation layer Presentation Layer Standard HTML OAI-PMH XML JSON Logic Layer Data Layer Caches Database Metadata Files Lucene Indexes
