Abstract

At the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Criss Libraries' Archives and Special Collections, we are working on a project to digitize and provide access to ALL of our material related to the now defunct UNO football program. The project was conceptualized before I started at UNO just over two years ago, so I envision sharing a bit about projects that promise online access to EVERYTHING as well as the digitization effort, and particularly the access via our content management system Islandora. We use a hosted instance of Islandora 7, so we don't have the true flexibility of open-source software. Due to that there is no good way to provide access to the nearly 79,000 digital images we have for this collection. With the help of my library IT coordinator, we are in the process of providing access to our visual resources using SimpleLightbox, our web server, and Islandora. While this project deals with a University Archives photograph collection, I can see it being applicable to others who try to provide access to any number of collections via hosted content management systems that don't quite meet their needs.
