Help Your Patrons Find What They Need
Simple Digital Library makes it easy for your patrons to effectively use your digital collections by enabling you to assign each Dublin Core field a search relevancy. Fields assigned a relevancy of 4 are the most relevant. Fields assigned a relevancy of 1 are the least relevant. You can designate fields as no relevance if you do not want anyone to search these fields.
Empower Your Patrons
Facets help patrons quickly understand your collections by breaking your collections into descriptive attributes. Facets enhance the descriptive capacity by going beyond simply naming categories to capturing the dimensions of the item being described. Facets provide a way to filter a huge search result set by the qualities the researchers wants. Combining information from different facets helps your patrons narrow their focus to a manageable set of results which results in getting to the right object faster and more efficiently.
Intuitive To Use
The Simple Digital Library search engine works the way patrons expect it to work. It highlights the search terms and returns the most relevant search results first. The intuitive interface allows patrons to quickly find what they are looking for even in large repositories.
