Princeton University Digital Library

A Brand New Face

The web interface to our collection has been completely redesigned to make it easier for patrons to discover what they're looking for. The descriptive metadata for every single item has been upgraded to the latest standards, and it is now indexed by Solr, the powerful search platform used by libraries around the world. Searches are fast; web pages are clean and responsive.
We've redesigned our viewers, too. Reading books and manuscripts is simple and natural, thanks to new page-turning software based on the same framework used by the Internet Archive and the British Library. We've entirely rewritten our structural metadata to support detailed tables of contents, so pages, chapters, and sections are easy to find. Need a close-up view? We've reworked every image in our collection to make it viewable with Djatoka (pronounced Jay Two Kay), the flexible, open-source image-processing tool.
