Overview
The Digital Collections Search Gateway provides a single search interface for a regularly updated index of the library’s locally managed digital collections and repositories, allowing users to discover digitized and born digital special collections stored in the Digital Library, scholarly publications and institutional materials stored in IDEALS, research data stored in the Illinois Data Bank, locally digitized books logged in the Digitized Book Tracker and available in the HathiTrust Digital Library, Internet Archive, and other corporate partners. Search results returned from the Digital Collections Search Gateway are prefaced by the domain https://metadata.library.illinois.edu/.
