Goobi is an open source software suite for controlling and presenting digitization projects. It consists of the two core components Goobi workflow and Goobi viewer as well as a broad ecosystem of complementary tools and plug-ins.
Goobi is currently used in more than 80 institutions in 17 countries. In addition to libraries, museums and archives, these include ministries, research institutions, foundations and private companies.
At annual user meetings, in joint workshops and also within the very active community forum, Goobi users exchange ideas about their working methods and projects and plan together in which direction the software should develop in the future.
Community
The Goobi software in its current form is the result of the requirements and needs of an international community. It is above all the users who shape further development through development contributions. For this purpose, regular user meetings are organized, workshops are held and there is an active community forum. In addition, an active exchange about functions, their application and future developments takes place on a daily basis.
Documentation
Comprehensive up-to-date documentation in German and English is available for the individual Goobi components. This applies primarily to the continuously expanded user manuals for Goobi workflow and Goobi viewer. But documentation has also already been published for many plug-ins. And last but not least, the monthly digests about the latest developments can also be found here.
