It looks like it uses "Streetprint Engine" (http://www.streetprint.org/engine.php
), which is OAI Compliant.
I wonder if streetprint could be used as a front-end to a Dspace
repository...

Perhaps someone from Texas A&M can correct me here, but I don't
think this collection is using Manakin. Just looking at the URLs, I
see references to .php files, for example, which Manakin does not
use. Too bad, really, it is IMO the nicest example listed so far.
This is a timely topic for us, so would love to have people post
more examples.
It seems to me, too, that the community could come-up with a
"digital images collection" theme for Manakin -- or least some XSLT
templates that could be imported into a theme. Something more
geared toward the display of digital images. That wouldn't be all
that hard, really.

Cathy,
Here are some image databases in DSpace that I have come across:
http://cushing.tamu.edu/collections/images/ this one uses the xml
user interface I believe
http://images.swinburne.edu.au/ this one is good too.
What I know about the difference is that with dspace you need to be
a technolgy person or have a technology staff who can configure what
you need whereas with contentdm all the technology stuff is already
done for you and all you have to do is make the best use of it to
represent your collection.

Hello all,
I'm new to this list so please forgive me for asking an obvious
question. My institution is considering using DSpace as both a
repository of scholarly work and for the library's digital image
collections. In poking around at the web sites of libraries that use
DSpace, I've not found many that use it for their digital collections
(or I somehow managed to miss them!). I spoke with someone whose
library uses DSpace for scholarly papers, but uses ContentDM as the
platform for digital collections, and that seems to be the norm.
Is DSpace an appropriate platform for our library's digital
collectionsof documents and images such as photographs? What are
the strengths and
weaknesses of DSpace compared to, say, ContentDM?
Thank you in advance for you help.
Cathy
