Hi Bernadette, There is a plug-in for Omeka that allows it to work with Fedora. I haven't used it personally, but if you feel like Fedora might meet more of your preservation-type needs it could be a viable solution. Here's a link to the description of the plug-in: http://omeka.org/codex/Plugins/FedoraConnector Perhaps if there's someone on the list who has used it they can tell you how it's worked for them. -Maura On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 11:38 PM, Tom Cramer <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Bernadette, > > You might also want to take a look at Spotlight, a Blacklight-based plugin > for showcasing digital objects in a structured presentation, along with > commentary, narrative and whizzy page features (like carousels, media > players, etc.) It's just about to have its 0.1 release (expected this > month) so it's very early, but other than that I think you'll find it has > some Omeka-like features, along with very good integration with the > Blacklight-Hydra-Fedora stack, and a strong prospective user base from > those communities, and all the Hydra-Fedora goodness of a full DAM solution. > > https://github.com/sul-dlss/spotlight > > There will be a Spotlight preso at Open Repositories 2014 next week, which > will serve as a public debut of a first Spotlight app. > > Cheers, > > - Tom > > > > On Jun 2, 2014, at 7:39 PM, Bernadette Houghton wrote: > > > We are currently investigating software to exhibit our special > collections materials.
