Dynix Digital Library

The Dynix Digital Library is a digital archiving system and document repository. It includes applications for building, managing and integrating digital archives.

The Dynix Digital Library provides students with access to the digital collection that librarians create, manage, and store using the software and hardware included with this solution. This digital collection can include images of anything librarians want to include handwritten letters, fragile newspaper clippings, artifacts, historical pictures and documents, and other non-copyrighted materials.

Students select and search the digital collection in the same way they research any other database. The Digital Library also allows students to search the full text of digital documents, The Digital Library search engine is able to match the content of digital documents to the student's own words, even if the student has entered an imprecise term.

The Digital Library makes a wealth of materials available to students anywhere, anytime.
