Hi Katie,

We make use of DSpace at our institution.  It works pretty well, though you
do need to have some amount of IT support since it is open source. That
said a lot of what you go with depends on what is going in.  If it is
largely text materials then DSpace or Digital Commons are both good
options.  If you are going to be putting in non-text materials like data
sets then seriously consider Fedora Hydra, actually you might want to just
look into this one anyway since a lot of places are moving to Fedora.
