[WEB4LIB] software for building online image database

[Peter C. Gorman]

Kerry,

We use OCLC's SiteSearch for image databases; see 
http://africafocus.library.wisc.edu/ for an example. It didn't come 
with thumbnail-handling out of the box, but its toolkit let us 
develop the interface we wanted. Have your Java book handy, though!

>	Does anyone have recommendations for software for creating a
>web-searchable database of thumbnail images linked to larger images?  The
>example I have in mind is the AP Photo Archive
>(http://accuweather.ap.org/cgi-bin/aplaunch.pl if your institution happens
>to have a subscription to it), where you can search by keyword, and range of
>dates.  Are there reasonably priced solutions, or should we just look at
>using generic database software (e.g., MS Access) and writing some scripts?
>
>	Thanks, Kerry
