multi-page/multi-part items digitized



Hi All,

Like many others, the University of Minnesota Libraries is usually involved
in some digitization projects involving materials from our Special
Collections & Archives. For the past several years, I have been involved in
this kind of work, and have explored various techniques/formats for
scanning and mounting multi-part/multi-page items online. Solutions range
from simple html links (click here for page 2, etc.) to embedding
sequential page images into PDF format.

Continuing this multi-year odyssey, I currently am looking for
recommendations for a simple freeware script that provides user navigation
through images of multiple pages. I'd like something that runs on UNIX, and
is not dependent upon other specific applications (OpenText, etc.). If
anyone knows of such a tool, and documentation on the minimal amount of
metadata/configuration necessary for its proper operation, I'd appreciate a
recommendation.

Sincerely,
Chuck Thomas
