Abstract :
We present a comprehensive digital collections management and presentation system built by customizing and integrating freely available open source software. We adapted the DC-dot Dublin Core generator for metadata creation and management, and integrated it with the Greenstone digital library software to present our digital collections on the Web. Additional functions were implemented using freely available scripting tools.
