Abstract

“IFLODD: The Illinois Firefighter Line of Duty Deaths Digital Image Collection Database” is a knowledge management initiative at the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It collects and provides Internet access to a multi-dimensional dataset of photographs and fire department records that document Illinois firefighters who died in the line of duty. This paper discusses the development, maintenance, and management of IFLODD through grant funding, in-house administrative support, and community partnership. It also describes how IFLODD contributes to IFSI’s teaching, training, and research efforts and how it has been recognized in the fire service and Library and Information Science communities.
