To solve the problem of delivering high-quality, complex image-based digital objects to our home-grown digital library application, Alex Dolski, a developer at the UIUC library has created and maintained Cantaloupe, an open-source, high-performance, IIIF-compliant image server. It can deliver high-quality images and image derivatives from an archive to an institutional repository, digital library, or digital exhibition platform.
Cantaloupe is currently in use at the University of Illinois Library, has been adopted by other academic institutions, and received contributions and increasing attention from the community of library developers. This presentation will introduce Cantaloupe, cover the benefits of utilizing a IIIF image server, and showcase some interesting use cases.
