The Digital Library provides access to locally digitized and born digital special collections. Its collections comprise digitized books, photographs, newspapers, maps, and other research materials. The Digital Library provides two modes of access. The first is to structured collections of materials of a similar type, with comprehensive item-level metadata, such as a collection of\u00a0digitized photographs<\/a>\u00a0of Abraham Lincoln or a set of\u00a0digitized bound volumes<\/a>\u00a0of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps. These are most often produced via digitization in the Library\u2019s Digitization Services group. Alternately, the Digital Library provides access to free-form collections of born digital electronic records, often of varied content, frequently with little item-level description, presented via a folder\/file browse interface rather than an object list, e.g. the\u00a0born digital electronic records<\/a>\u00a0that the University Archives acquired from the scientist Carl Woese. The Digital Library\u2019s Image collections are IIIF-compliant, and many are made available for harvesting using the OAI-PMH protocol.<\/p>\n Digital Library\u00a0production site<\/a><\/p>\n Digital Library\u00a0test site<\/a>\u00a0(accessible to library staff)<\/p>\n To submit a general question, request training, or report a system outage, contact:\u00a0digitalcollections@lists.illinois.edu<\/a><\/p>\n Please see\u00a0Managing Digital Collections: A Guide to Local Practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n Updated and improved documentation coming soon.<\/p>\n Coming soon.<\/p>\n Rimkus, Kyle R., and Christopher J.
