To deliver educational materials in an online world institutions need to provide faculty with fingertip access to a repository containing a wide range of rich supporting digital materials. Building and maintaining your college repository will become the responsibility of the Digital Librarian.
Masterfile Digital Library provides the functionality to build and manage a rich collection of dynamic digital objects. Store documents, streaming video, podcasts, URLs, IMS and SCORM objects. Drag and drop thousands of items into your repository in minutes, apply security as required, impose time-controlled access restrictions if needed and meta tag items for subsequent discovery and reuse. Assemble items into theme-based reusable objects and ensure intellectual property rights are applied and managed when ever and where ever they are needed.
Provide faculty with fingertip access to the college Knowledge Centre for retrieving items into online courses.
Ensure community managers have fingertip access to the Knowledge Centre for retrieving information into their communities.
Give students undertaking research for assignments and projects to tools to quickly locate all reference items by doing federated searches across all local and subscription databases.
