DESCRIPTION

Presentation about LoCloud Collections: A system designed to help small cultural institutions to set up their own digital library, museum or archive in the cloud, given by Marcin Werla of Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center at the LoCloud workshop, ICOMOS 2014 in Florence. LoCloud Collections is easy to set up, developed with the needs of local heritage organisations in mind, supports multiple collections, many data formats, provides a customizable website, with online support available at low cost with no up-front investment needed - you pay for what you use and is fully scaleable. LoCloud Collections is fully compatible with Europeana and is optimized for search engines. Based on the open source Omeka software, LoCloud Collections has been developed as part of the LoCloud project.

Basic  components    of  a  digital  collec*on  

•  All  men*oned  components  generate  costs  •  In  smaller  ins*tu*ons  there  may  be  no  proper  hard  IT  infrastructure  for  a  digital  collec*on  

•  Apart  from  costs  -­‐  lack  of  exper*se    to  cope  with  IT  infrastructure  

•  How  can  the  work  be  simplified    and  reduce  the  cost  of  having    a  digital  collec*on    without  limi*ng    its  value    for  end  users?
