Resources for Curators &News Updates
(Digital Collection Development &
Management)
Overview
Digital collections and libraries hosted at UF are powered by the Sobek or SobekCM Open Source
software, which powers all user, curator, and production aspects. SobekCM offers robust technical
supports and tools for curators for digital collection development and management.
News Updates
News and other updates on SobekCM that are likely to be of interest to Curators are discussed, planned,
documented, and shared in many ways. Because SobekCM is mature software, the maintenance is
stable with minor refinements and design updates, as needed to keep pace with web standards, new
platforms, usability needs, etc.
Changes and enhancements are normally planned and documented as part of projects submitted for
grants, with awarded grants resulting in system enhancements that benefit all users. Detailed
information on enhancements is documented in the grant proposals (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/ufirgrants) and
the SobekCM documentation (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/sobekcm).
In addition to presentations and trainings (e.g., grant meetings, project trainings, academic conferences,
etc.: http://ufdc.ufl.edu/sobekcm/presentations), the Development Highlights page is updated every
week or every other week and provides timely information on updates with links to work planned and in
process: http://ufdc.ufl.edu/sobekcm/development/highlights
For updates and discussion, Curators can join either or both of the SobekCM email lists:
 General announcements &updates for SobekCM Applications: https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-
bin/wa?A0=SOBEKCM-UPDATES-L
 Technical discussions and updates (developers, programmers, local technical partners, installed
institutions, etc.): sobekcm-discuss@googlegroups.com

3. Once the new resource is available in production, content providers are encouraged to
promote the resource to appropriate audiences and are responsible for any additional
outreach activities.
Additional Information
1. Project ideas must have the support of a library director (or designee) to be considered.
The UWDCSC/DSC weighs various criteria in determining which projects to fund and/or
develop.
2. It is important to understand at the outset that any digital project will require a significant
allocation of staff and infrastructural resources. Thus, not every project proposal will be
approved.
3. For approved projects, the UWDCC will work to ensure projects are completed in an
efficient and timely manner. The UWDCSC/DSC applies professional standards related
to reformatting, description, and delivery models whenever possible. Use of
professionally endorsed library/archives standards (e.g. Dublin Core metadata) renders a
digital project compatible with other collections included in the library’s digital
collections.
4. The UWDCC offers delivery options and models for creating, describing and delivering
both text-based (e.g. books, journals, correspondence, etc.) and multimedia (e.g. images,
audio, video, etc.) materials via the Internet. Review these options for a better
understanding of our content management systems and how your project materials may
fit within our current infrastructure.
