Watch the video to find out how you can use the detektIIIF plug-in to collect images and books from countless libraries and archives and then view and compare them against each other in the Mirador Viewer. Your IIIF collection will remain in the detektIIIF plug-in and you will also be able to view it again in the Viewer at any time in the future.

Carefully created source collections create targeted access to a topic and often require a lot of time to compile them. It is therefore important to secure this work well and share it with others as easily as possible. We would like to enable sustainable handling of such research data and have developed an initially experimental prototype that allows the data to be saved on GitHub and shared directly with others.

To do this you need:

• Google Chrome with browser extension DetektIIIF Version 1.1.0 Get detektIIIF
• A GitHub Account
• Our customized Beta Mirador Viewer

Workflow:

• Collect IIIF manifests using the browser extension DetektIIIF version 1.1.0
• Click on “Open & Save Collection (Beta)” in the DetektIIIF shopping cart. The collection opens in the Beta Mirador Viewer.
• Log in to GitHub with your access data using the GitHub cat symbol and authorize the application “BetaViewerZbUzh”
• As soon as you are logged in, the “Save Collection” button becomes active and you can save the collection.
