ResCarta offers an open source solution to creating, viewing, sorting and searching digital collections. Applications in the toolkit let users create and edit metadata, convert data to open standard ResCarta format, index and host collections.

Metadata allows for section breaks in Monographs, Serials and Serial Monographs. This version has support for Photograph and Newspaper types, new "Smart" pdf conversion, faster load times for million plus page collections, and faster display times in the toolkits.

With the release of this version of the ResCarta Toolkit, we have updated our METS implementation. In doing this we made changes to the way the ResCarta Collections Manager stores its METS metadata. If you have an existing ResCarta collection and want to add to this collection using the new ResCarta Toolkit version 3.0.1, you will need to run this Update tool ONCE against your existing collection. If you run the tool more than once it will do no harm to your data.
Start the Data Format Update Tool and select the location of your ResCarta Data. Set the Target format to 3.0 and press the Begin Update button. The status of each file changed will be displayed in the status window frame.

FEATURES:

· Additional fielded search in now allowed with hinting in the search box that shows the index content as you type.
· With the release of this version of the ResCarta Toolkit (2.3.4), we have updated our METS implementation.
· If you have an existing ResCarta (2.2.2 or earlier) collection and want to add to this collection using the new ResCarta Toolkit version 2.3.4, you will need to run this Update tool ONCE against your existing collection.
