Hillel, How are you currently managing your digital objects? What type are they generally?

In the early 1950s, the term came to be used to describe a new form of music, steeped in the blues, rhythm blues, country and gospel. Today, it refers to a wide variety of popular music -- frequently music with an edge and attitude, music with a good beat and --- often --- loud guitars.© 2005 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Digital object distribution
Hi Hillel, It's not a light weight product, but IR+ offers features where researchers can have a web based workspace and share files with each other and track versions. The open source project is located here: http://code.google.com/p/irplus/ We do have researchers uploading mp3 files. You can see an example of one who has made some of their music files public here: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/viewResearcherPage.action?researcherId=70 We hope to have another release of IR+ out sometime late summer early fall. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. -Nate Nathan Sarr Senior Software Engineer River Campus Libraries University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 (585) 275-0692 -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:code4...@listserv.nd.edu] On Behalf Of Hillel Arnold Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 1:15 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] Digital object distribution A colleague of mine is looking for a simple and lightweight way to make digital assets available to researchers.
