Hillel,

How are you currently managing your digital objects?  What type are they generally? (images, a/v, text)

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Digital object distribution
 
A colleague of mine is looking for a simple and lightweight way to make digital assets available to researchers. What they'd like to have ideally is a system that provides online access to specified files for a specified user via a login. A user would only see the files that have been assigned to them and not any other users' files. In addition, they'd like to have some sort of a UI that would display basic descriptive information about the object.
Does anyone have any ideas for a solution to this? It seems like there *should* be an easy and obvious answer, but I'm coming up blank...

Thanks,
Hillel Arnold

Rock & Roll: (noun) African American slang dating back to the early 20th Century. In the early 1950s, the term came to be used to describe a new form of music, steeped in the blues, rhythm & blues, country and gospel. Today, it refers to a wide variety of popular music -- frequently music with an edge and attitude, music with a good beat and --- often --- loud guitars.© 2005 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
