Hi Suzanne, our open source DAMS, ResourceSpace (http://www.resourcespace.org/) has excellent, web-based collection sharing features (and might be a good way to manage high-res images, to boot). You can create collections and generate external URLS to share them, or send directly from a system-generated email. I think you could create a variety of metadata fields to store rich data, and relate resources together if you needed to link supporting documentation to collection items.
Hosting, support and implementation packages in many flavors are available from Montala, the firm that co-authored ResourceSpace, but it is truly open source so you can implement it yourself for nill. I'd be happy to send you a sample collection or talk more offline. One thing you might want to ask your client to define is what his collection-users will want to do with the collections once they get them - do you need reporting features, download image derivatives, etc. All best, Kate Kate Blanch Systems Manager, Data & Digital Resources 410.547.9000 x.266 | [email protected] The Walters Art Museum 600 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201-5185 thewalters.org -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2016 8:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: mcn-l Digest, Vol 128, Issue 17 Send mcn-l mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of mcn-l digest..."

The workshop will take place over two half days on 22-23 June 2016. Our focus is on challenges and opportunities, current and emerging developments in the area of information access via exploration and discovery in large-scale digital libraries and collections, particularly in the cultural heritage domain. We will consider the underlying technologies which enable this access, as well as interaction functionalities, and user evaluations. Our goal is to identify the needs of providers and their users, assess the current state-of-the-art, and to identify challenges and prioritize areas of future research potential. ==Topics== The workshop is focused on all aspects of supporting access, exploration and discovery within large-scale digital libraries, especially within cultural heritage. This fits with the JCDL conference theme of 'Big Libraries, Big Data, Big Innovation' to include information access issues and solutions in cultural heritage that focus on volume, variety and velocity of library content, and also variety (complexity, diversity) of users and uses. Specifically, we invite contributions on related topics including (but not limited to): * Information discovery, exploration and serendipity * User-centered information access and evaluation * Multimedia, multilingual and exploratory Information Retrieval * Information needs and information behaviour * Information organization, ontologies * Entity-centric information access * Information extraction, content enrichment, text analytics, natural language processing * Entity-extraction and disambiguation * Metadata and linked data * Visualization of information space * User modelling and adaptation * Personalization and recommendation Contributions may include findings from completed empirical studies or work-in-progress, as well as position papers inviting discussions of emerging and future developments. ==Submissions== Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished academic research, industry papers and position papers related to the topics listed above. We invite papers in 3 formats: * full papers (8 pages) * short papers (4 pages) * posters (2 pages) Full papers will report on completed work, or work that has reached a level of maturity or important milestone. Short papers and posters will report on work-in-progress, or work that can be presented in a more concise form. Position papers are welcome in either full or short paper format. Full and short papers will be presented in the main the workshop track, and posters will be presented in a dedicated session. All paper types are welcome from both academics and practitioners. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Proceedings will be published immediately prior to the workshop via CEUR Workshop Proceedings. All papers should be written in English, prepared anonymously in the ACM Proceedings template, and submitted in PDF format, via the workshop EasyChair submission page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=achs20160 . ==Important dates== * Paper submissions - 2 May 2016 * Notifications - 16 May 2016 * Camera-ready copy - 31 May 2016 * Proceedings published - 7 June 2016 * Workshop (at JCDL) - 22-23 June 2016 (2x half days) ==Organising Committee== * Paul Clough (University of Sheffield, UK) * Paula Goodale (University of Sheffield, UK) * Maristella Agosti (University of Padua, Italy) * S?amus Lawless (Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland) ==Contact== Enquiries should be made via: Paula Goodale p dot goodale at sheffield.ac.uk -- Paula Goodale Teaching Associate Information Retrieval Research Group Please note: My working pattern for Jan-June 2016 is usually Monday, Thursday, Friday Information School, The University of Sheffield, Room 318, Regent Court, 211 Portobello, Sheffield, S1 4DP @PaulaGoodale <https://twitter.com/PaulaGoodale> www.sheffield.ac.uk/is Keep it green: do you need to print this email?

I don?t know what your database is, but CSV is supported, so that could work. Once stuff is in WordPress, you can then lock it down - password, membership, etc etc. Shout if you need help implementing - [email protected]? cheers Mike _____________________________ Mike Ellis?
