To Be a PALMM Collection
PALMM collections may involve a single SUS institution,
multiple SUS institutions, or a combination of SUS and
non-SUS participants. Any digital library project can
be a PALMM collection so long as it involves at least
one SUS institution and agrees to follow applicable
guidelines for descriptive
metadata, digitization, and
website
design.
PALMM collections may be served from either an institution's
own server or from the FCLA digital library servers. For
a collection to be mounted on the FCLA Digital Library
Server, data must be submitted according to FCLA specifications
for structural
metadata.
If you are considering making your project a PALMM collection,
prepare a project
description and contact a PALMM
coordinator.
To Be A Related Collection
Projects which do not meet the requirements to be PALMM
collections but which offer access to materials about
any aspect of Florida, or materials from collections
within Florida, may be made available on the PALMM website
as a related collection. To list your project as a related
collection, contact one of the PALMM
Coordinators.
