Re: [CODE4LIB] Software for Capstone\Theses Projects
Hi Mike, I'll also make a plug for Drupal. It is ideally suited for this sort of thing, with plug-and-play accounts that can be hooked up to campus authentication systems, and granular permissions that can be set by the user. What you describe here sounds like something that could be accomplished in Drupal in very efficient fashion. If you're interested in pursuing, contact me off-list and I'll be happy to discuss it with you further. http://drupal.org/download Sincerely, Katherine Lynch Drexel University Libraries From: Code for Libraries [CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Michael Beccaria [mbecca...@paulsmiths.edu] Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 8:40 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] Software for Capstone\Theses Projects I've been looking for an out of the box solution to archive and make accessible capstone\theses projects to web users.

Mike, Omeka might be what you are looking for. I've never used it but from what I've heard about it, it would be worth a look. Sincerely, David Bigwood dbigw...@hou.usra.edu Lunar and Planetary Institute

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software for Capstone\Theses Projects
We use Eprints, which scales well. Just like any other system, there is tweaking that needs to be done on the back end, but it does allow our students to designate how publicly accessible they want their files to be. The software itself is freely available: http://www.eprints.org/ We haven't made our instance very pretty, but it is very functional. We've been using it since 2001 over several versions.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software for Capstone\Theses Projects
I've worked with Omeka, and while it's great, I don't think it's ideal for what he's looking for. It's really meant for digital libraries, or as a frontend to a repository, rather than as a bare-bones repository. For instance, I'm not sure how you would cleanly and simply handle the submitter-set permissions, with authentication, in Omeka without writing a fair amount of custom code. Omeka (right now, at least) makes a strong distinction between public and private, but doesn't have strong user-based ownership of items. I don't think it would be impossible, and I love Omeka, but I think there are probably better options available out of the box. - Dave Mayo On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 11:13 AM, Bigwood, David dbigw...@hou.usra.eduwrote: Mike, Omeka might be what you are looking for.
