I have a question for all of you hard-working tech librarians. What
software would you recommend for a project that wants to develop its
digital library and have some kind of CMS access to its website? Our
project looked at several promising software packages in the past year,
including Keystone CMS (http://www.indexdata.dk/keystone/). We need
something that is open source and will allow the management of files,
not something that forces us to put content into a database (that
inevitably goes down or slows down the server). Ideally we'd also like
something that provides good metadata support, so we can be a proper
digital library. Our preference would be for software that relies on PHP
and MySQL, or at least on some protocol that will last for a few years.
