Library Cataloging
After the posting yesterday about sharing forms, and other other documentation, it occurred to me that an OAI server might be the best way to go. It provides for metadata, indexing, uploading of files and is standards compliant. What it would require would be an Linux, Apache server, mysql and PHP. I've received some feedback saying it sounds useful, using an already developed technology might make it happen sooner.Some one recommended Power Tools: 100+ Essential Forms and Presentations by Joyce Kasman Valenza ALA, 1998. It includes a CD-ROM with 100+ essential forms and presentations for your school library information program. Sounds good. However, we have a body of work created in each of our institutions and if we would make it accessible and share it we could save each other time and money.
