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

[Pollock, Chad]

I have wanted to try the opensource OMEKA for this type of project.  I
have never used it, but it looks like it might suit your needs.
http://omeka.org/ .  It's from the Center for History and New Media, the
same folks that brought us Zotero.

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.

Thanks,

Cary
