Summary:
"The Technology Development team at Villanova University's Falvey Memorial Library announces the official alpha launch of their open source digital library management software, VuDL (http://vudl.org). With VuDL, you can store, manipulate, display and make discoverable your digital collections.
Most digital library software packages are targeted at either small/specific collections or very large/very complicated collections. The former may not have the functionality to describe your objects properly; the latter, too many options and therefore needless complexity. VuDL is designed to be somewhere in the middle: flexible enough to describe different ranges of objects, while small enough to diminish technical overhead.
The simple-to-use Digital Library Administration application is powered by all open source technologies, and provides a METS metadata editor, service image generation tools, XML database repository, and a built-in OAI server...."
