CollectionBuilder-CONTENTdm is a template for creating digital collection exhibits on top of existing CONTENTdm repositories.
CollectionBuilder-CONTENTdm utilizes CONTENTdm API's to create an engaging "skin" on top of an existing digital collection repository using your existing collection metadata. CollectionBuilder is an open source tool for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that are driven by metadata and powered by modern static web technology.

CollectionBuilder is a project of University of Idaho Library's Digital Initiatives as part of the Lib-STATIC toolkit. Powered by the open source static site generator Jekyll and a modern static web stack, it puts collection metadata to work building beautiful sites.
The basic frame work is created using Bootstrap and jQuery. Metadata visualizations are built using open source libraries such as DataTables, Leafletjs, lightGallery, FontAwesome, lazysizes, and Lunr.js. Object metadata is exposed using Schema.org and Open Graph protocol standards.
