## What is digilib?

* `digilib` is a web based client/server technology for images. The image

  content is processed on-the-fly by a Java Servlet on the server side so that

  only the visible portion of the image is sent to the web browser on the client

  side.

* `digilib` supports a wide range of image formats and viewing options on

  the server side while only requiring an internet browser with Javascript and a

  low bandwidth internet connection on the client side.

* `digilib` enables very detailed work on an image as required by

  scholars with elaborate viewing features like an option to show images on the

  screen in their original size.

* `digilib` facilitates cooperation of scholars over the internet and

  novel uses of source material by image annotations and stable references that

  can be embedded in URLs.

* `digilib` facilitates federation of image servers through a standards compliant

  [IIIF](http://iiif.io) image API.

* `digilib` is Open Source Software under the Lesser General Public License,

  jointly developed by the
