Institutions contributing to the CIC metadata portal

When you search in the CIC Metadata Gateway, you're searching a wide variety of collections from CIC member institutions. These institutions have made records describing their resources available, and we have gathered and aggregated them into this service. The following is a list of these institutions, with a description of the records. Currently, we are serving above 500,000 records from 10 CIC member institutions.

	The University of Chicago offers records from the Archival Photographic Files. They constitute a separate record group in the University of Chicago Archives containing most of its photographic holdings. The University of Chicago Library has initiated the Archives Photographic Files Digitization Project, an effort to digitize and present on the Web the images in the Archival Photographic Files. Launched in February 2002, the first stage of the project provides digital images of photographs in Series II: Buildings and Grounds. In addition, the University of Chicago provides metadata for other image collections and descriptions of archival finding aids.
	Since 1996, the University of Illinois at Chicago has hosted First Monday, a peer-reviewed journal. All articles are accessible individually through the CIC metadata portal.
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign	The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Library has made record archives available of some of their digitization projects, including Teaching with Digital Content and the Illinois Aerial Photograph Digital Archive. Also included are archival finding aids from the University Archives and records from the Sheet Music Collection .
Indiana University	The Indiana University Digital Library Program is dedicated to the selection, production, and maintenance of a wide range of high quality networked resources for scholars and students at Indiana University and elsewhere. The program provides OAI-enabled access to the U.S. Steel Gary Works Photograph Collection, 1906-1971, the Frank M. Hohenberger Collection and the Sam DeVincent Collection of American Sheet Music. The IU-Bio archive of biology data and software was established in 1989 to promote public access to freely available information, primarily in the field of molecular biology. This archive is maintained by the Indiana University Biology department. Information on molecular data, software, biology news and documents, as well as links to remote information sources in biology and elsewhere, can be found in this archive.
