Collectus -- A Digital Object Collector Tool
|
Updated version available October 15, 2007 The UVa Library's Collectus digital object collector tool allows users to to collect image or text objects from a repository. The objects are collected as http pointer references to a repository that are stored as an XML file on any location selected by a user. The Object Collection Window in Collectus allows a user to view and organize newly created or previously saved object collections, and to generate slide shows for use in the classroom or HTML pages for delivery of the collections. The ImageViewer in Collectus provides zooming, panning, brightness and contrast, and rotating functions for images in collections. The Collectus digital object collector tool is being made available as uncompiled source code under an open source Educational Community License (ECL). When built it produces html documentation that describes how to install, test, and run it. The source code, README for how to build your very own Collectus, and accompanying release notes can be downloaded from:
