FSU Libraries will migrate from its current system to TIND DA to deliver a more user-friendly experience for faculty, staff, and community users. The platform will enhance access and discoverability for more than 125,000 cultural heritage items and support the efficient management and growth of FSU’s digital collections.
The FSU Digital Library, managed by University Libraries’ Special Collections & Archives (SCA), provides access to an expanding range of digitized materials held by SCA and partners such as the Warren D. Allen Music Library and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Archives, as well as materials from community organizations. Collections range from cuneiform tablets and handwritten manuscripts to contemporary university publications.
"The FSU Digital Library is a research gateway to the unique collections stewarded by FSU and its partners," said Katie McCormick, Associate Dean of Special Collections & Archives. "With the selection of TIND as our new platform, we're excited to more seamlessly connect students, faculty, and community members to these incredible collections."
TIND DA was selected to meet FSU’s requirements for a modern digital collections platform and to support evolving access needs.
“During our review process, we were very impressed with TIND as an option for our cultural heritage materials in our repository,” said Krystal Thomas, Director of Digital Archives for SCA. “It provides an excellent, user-friendly experience to access our materials, along with object-level and collection-specific tools that we and our partners see as opportunities to better organize, manage, and brand our collections for end users.”
More news on the migration process and a formal launch date for the new platform will be shared in the coming months.
