Technology
A number of technologies have been used over the course of the digitization project. Early scanned documents were edited using Adobe Acrobat Professional versions 6, 7, 8. More recently, ABBYY FineReader has been used for editing.
Bibliographic data is entered in Dublin Core format using MetaData Builder, a product from library automation vendor, Innovative Interfaces, Inc. Digital objects such as PDFs and jpeg images are attached and displayed using another Innovative Interface product, Media Management. Finally, the collection is displayed and searched using the Innovative Interfaces web opac product.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
