The ALIADA project is developing a tool that will allow libraries, archives and museums to automatically publish and link the content they host. 

The treasures of Europe’s rich history are carefully documented and stored in our many libraries, archives and museums. However, although our history is intricately interconnected, our repositories don’t necessarily have the technology to effectively link and share their content. Museums and libraries often have their own data codification and representation methods which means that the information may not accessible to web search engines and to other institutions.

It is true that it's difficult to keep up with all the applications out there, so I've compiled a great list of the top 5 open source tools for libraries.

 

There was a time when working in the library I found it very frustrating (as many librarians do) that there were so few options for software that actually did what I needed. In libraries we're so used to there being this vendor=software model. Where one vendor controls a product and while there might be other similar products, they too are controlled by a vendor.
