[Web4lib] selecting a CMS/DAMS for a digital library

[Cary Gordon]

I recommend that you take a look at UPEI's Islandora project which
marries Drupal on the front end and dSpace/DuraSpace on the back end.
There system is very straightforward to use (The word. easy. is not
something that I would apply to any digital library system, but it
makes great strides.).

Of course, the combined cost of these two great free and open source
products is free.
