Your institution has collections of papers, theses, art images and important cultural heritage materials. These objects are being digitized and added to extensive audio and video resources. The formats are diverse and you may have a cataloging method developed in-house. You are trying to avoid multiple databases because you know that searching will become unwieldy. And you probably need customization to cover your special needs.

Once your collection is inside the system, how will you provide browsing, searching and viewing of those resources?

Curator™
Curator is a flexible, scalable solution to digital resource management. With a digitized item available, Curator helps you describe, manage and publish the item to a scalable, searchable database. Once in place, patrons have access to your whole collection from any location.

Curator provides:

• A standard workflow to add items to the collection, easing training and maintenance requirements.
• The ability to define multiple Virtual Collections.
• Support for standard metadata formats such as Dublin Core and Encoded Archival Description as well as locally developed formats.
• Integrated searching across all metadata and the local digital catalog using the FAST Data Search Engine™.
• Support for multiple file types, audio, text and more.
