Choose the best fit to local requirements
A range of capabilities exists; for example:
- a hosted service such as Digital Commons is the lowest barrier to entry
- Eprints is a low cost option, aimed at article pre-prints and post-prints, including digital theses
- DSpace is functionally richer and supports a wide range of object types, images as well as text
- ARNO may be a suitable alternative to DSpace
- Fedora is a possible high-end solution; work is in train to improve its usability
- CDSware may be a suitable alternative to Fedora
- i-Tor provides metadata harvesting and resource discovery
