Accomplish More
Quickly Load Your Collections
Do you spend more time loading than scanning? SimpleDL has been designed to minimize the loading time. It loads high resolution images and PDFs six times faster than most digital library systems. One data loader reported that the Saskia image collection took over two weeks to load in her current system. It only took two days to load the same high resolution image collection into SimpleDL.
Persistent URLs That Actually Persist
Many digital library systems make you delete the metadata and item when you want to replace it. SimpleDL allows you to replace an item without making you delete it first. By replacing the item instead of reloading it you will preserve your patrons' bookmarks and enable other information systems to seamlessly synchronize with your repository.
Make Your Collections Easy to Consume
Facets enable your patrons to quickly understand and navigate your collections. SimpleDL provides a powerful search engine that will help your patrons quickly jump into your collections and facets to help them narrow their focus form general to specific topics. Combining relevant searches and faceted browsing helps your patrons quickly discover what they need.
Quickly Create the Collections You Need
Creating your collections is easy in SimpleDL. You can add metadata fields one at a time or you can add hundreds of fields at once. Metadata fields are automatically mapped to the appropriate Dublin Core field. Don't worry, you can change these mappings any time you need to. You can also map metadata fields to facet groups and designate metadata fields as public of private.
