Since this is for DSpace, one option might be to just pass the Content-Type

In my one experience with DSpace about eight years ago, we considered its
UI to be nearly unusable, and used Drupal as a front end to mitigate issues

Hello,
Anyone has experience in digitizing archival materials? I need your
recommendations/suggestions on how we can start with our digitization. We
need to build a searchable website so the public can access our materials
of images, publications and media files.
What platform did you use?
There are a few options you can go with.
https://foss4lib.org/package-type/digital-repository has a nice list of
open source solutions. Just remember with open source you need to have
some tech savy staff to support the software. I know a lot of people who

Hello,

is a great resource when you ruin into issues. I think file format is very
important when arching archiving for preservation; do
I've built digital collections on Omeka and on SobekCM (both on that
helpful foss4lib list) Omeka is definitely easy to get up and running and

I am now obsessed with the idea of a post-apocalyptic consortia of 100,000

Once the physical embodiment of books become self-aware, they might seriously
look at building a consortia.
That may or may not be what triggers the transition to a post-apocalyptic world.
