[MCN-L] Razuna open source DAM
Hi everyone: I just learned about an open source digital asset management system called Razuna. I've been watching the videos and am pretty intrigued by it. My needs are fairly modest, but even with increased access to assets by internal staff, I'm having a hard time keeping up with some of my asset management. Heaven help me when we get our assets up on the web in a month or so! For a number of reasons, I don't anticipate getting support for purchasing a commercial DAM, so open source might be my only option. Has anyone used Razuna and have any opinions about it? Thanks! http://www.razuna.org Perian Sully Collections Information Manager Web Programs Strategist The Magnes Berkeley, CA

Content owners have attempted to restrict the copying of this media through laws like the DMCA and legal campaigns against file-sharing, but these efforts have often ignored the concept of fair use entirely. A group of academics involved in media studies has now issued a series of fair use best practices, some of which apply to an audience well beyond the group that drafted the document. .."
