Re: selecting a CMS/DAMS for a digital library

Oxfam commissioned a rather nice DAM that they've since made open source. I
used ResourceSpace <http://www.resourcespace.org/about.php> last summer
while organizing an advertising agency's image collections, and I was pretty
pleased with the interface and affordances. It did require some PHP coding
on the backend, though, so make sure you have someone on board who can cover
that.
