[CODE4LIB] FOSS recommendations for online-only library
Hello all, I'm working with a non-profit that is offering access to research databases for patrons that do not otherwise have it. We are hoping to develop a library portal to support users, ideally including both article- and journal-level search. We'd like to do this as much as possible using *only* free and open source software, so I'm looking for recommendations on what to use and, crucially, what works well together. Some parameters: -We have no physical location or physical holdings - don't need circulation or anything in that category, although access stats would be nice -We do not have our own hosted materials - no need for a CMS -We have very limited tech support Any thoughts? I've been playing around with VuFind and reSearcher so far but am definitely open to other possibilities, particularly if there are good discovery options available. Thanks, Nicole
