[LIBRARYDIR] Digital Repository

[Howard Fuller]

Whatcom CC uses Omeka S and we license server space outside of the college (and outside of our IT department).
We do our own development and management of the software and licensed server space. This is part of our OER work.

In all honesty we priced bepress platform before landing on Omeka S. bepress is the ‘Cadillac’ of IR software and they do all the work, you only need to send them the files. Its quite elegant. This is clearly a ‘buy’ solution and one that was more than we were willing to spend. WCC is under 3000 FTEs and the annual cost four or five years ago was $15K.

Please let me know if you have specific questions.

Thanks
Howard

Hi All. We’re looking at acquiring a digital repository for the library to share/catalog student research, faculty research, college archival materials (i.e. student ran newspaper, etc.). Does anyone already have product they love? Are any of your shopping for a product? I’d appreciate any recommendations anyone might have.

Thanks,
