Hi all,
Over the last six months I have been working on and off on a different
system for producing and manipulating EAD finding aids using XForms, which
is a W3C specification for next-generation web forms, designed specifically
with the creation of

Ah, I hadn't known about Oloh, that looks pretty nice thanks Galen.
What sorts of repos can oloh work with? Or does oloh not even get into
the repo level, it's just a registration of projects or something?

Hello All,
This is my first post to the list so I thought I'd share my current dilemma and
put it to you all to see what you might do if you were in my place. I've
really tried to keep this message as short as possible, but it's still too
long. I apologize in advance for that. I can fill in
Instead of purchasing a discovery system, I recommend using

Ethan,
Thanks, yes, I did take a look at this. I have to pick my battles here. A
discovery interface is one of the things that we could buy off the shelf and
get a lot of good mileage out of. I'm devoted to open source and I would love
nothing more than to roll our own with Blacklight, but

Adam,
Just over a year ago, we were in a similar position to yours, and wanted both a
discovery layer and a Fedora-based digital asset management system for
Stanford.
We ended up adopting Blacklight for both our next generation catalog [1] and as
the UI providing discovery / viewing

That's a little difficult to make out, but I feel you are comparing apples
to oranges by comparing Blacklight to Omeka or CollectiveAccess. From what
I've seen, I think CollectiveAccess is a great system. Omeka is not, nor
designed to be, digital repository software. I'm not sure it's a good

Ha, that's really funny. I had no idea stuff like that was happening.
Although, there was new website launched this month, and no one tried to
maintain any links from the old site, so most of those are broken. I wasn't
involved with that.
Our library is physically and technically separate
Yeah, sorry about that. I wish I could've pointed to it, but it's behind
a firewall. You're right that Blacklight isn't really in the same
category as the others.

I second that. I've been talking with a lot of museums and there seems to be a
pretty big gap between what systems there are for museums and what there are
for libraries and archives. The museum here uses TMS (The Museum System) which
is proprietary. I did look at getting that data into our
Although Drupal isn't specifically tailored to libraries, archives or
museums, has it been adopted for use as a CMS? It would, of course,
need customization and modification to do what one of the other
library-specific CMSes can do out of the box, but it seems like Drupal
offers a lot of
