Prototyping

This is what our digital collections interface looks like now:

Here’s a sketch of what I came up with for an alternative interface:

Potential Changes:

Add tabs for Transcription and Translation to the right of the selected asset.
- For the tabs, I like both the UI design on the oral history pages and the way the tabs look on the back-end entry for transcripts/translations.
- Transcription/translation content will change based on the image selected from the thumbnail navigator.
- Bonus: Add an Item level metadata tab for child works??
Add a thumbnail navigator beneath the representative image/selected asset.
- Ability to see all pages at once? See Hagley’s “pages” tab. Maybe we can incorporate something similar.
Add some text to designate which image you are on in the set. (i.e. page 5 of 84)
Move copyright statement beneath metadata
Keep option to open high-res image in viewer.
- Would lose the capacity to see the translation side-by-side when opening viewer. According to user studies that is ok.
