[Web4lib] putting photograph collection on the Web

[Danielle Plumer]

And check out omeka.net, too, if you're in need of an inexpensive hosted service. It's gone to beta now, and they have pricing details in the "about" area.

The only thing to be cautious about it that you apparently need the OAI Repository plugin to be able to get your metadata back out, currently, which is only available at the Silver level and above. I could easily be wrong about that, though, since I only found out about the beta last week and haven't had a lot of time to play with it.
