Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Source Course reserves management
Jeffrey, You may want to check out ReservesDirect (http:// www.reservesdirect.org/ ). While the 2.x versions do not have sophisticated copyright related features, Emory is working on version 3.0 (now in a pre-alpha release) that is moving more in the direction you're talking about. If you have any questions, feel free to write Jason White ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), who is programming version 3.0, or Amanda French ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) who is the project manager. -- Kyle Fenton Technical Manager Emory University Libraries From: Jeffrey Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: March 6, 2008 3:06:11 PM EST To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] Open Source Course reserves management Reply-To: Code for Libraries CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Is anyone aware of a standalone or add-on open source package for managing electronic and/or digital course reserves? A commercial offering in this area is Aries, but it is not customizable to our needs. Most useful features are monitoring for multiple use of same article or chapter and efficient copyright clearance.
Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Source Course reserves management
I'd like to explain my late to the game posting on this -- I could have sworn that I'd been subscribed to this listserv for some time now, but apparently not. Ergo I didn't know about the numerous replies you'd already received, Jeffrey. I was forwarded your email by someone else today. Looks like I have some listserv archives to dig through now! -- Kyle
Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Source Course reserves management
NC State Univ. Libraries is also beginning work on implementing ReservesDirect. I think we hope for a trial with a few courses this summer, and implementation for fall. -emily lynema -- Date:Thu, 6 Mar 2008 18:02:48 -0500 From:Ranti Junus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Open Source Course reserves management We (Michigan State University Libraries) looked into the possibility of implementing this a few years ago, but the final decision was to utilize the university's course management system instead. ranti.

Reserves Direct (http://www.reservesdirect.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) is the only one that I am aware of. I'd be very interested if people know of any others.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Open Source Course reserves management
Here's one Reserves direct. http://www.reservesdirect.org/wiki/index.php/Documentation:Contents We have been considering Atlas's Ares™ http://www.atlas-sys.com/ because of the copyright clearance but the price is not in our budget. It would be good to hear if anyone has any experience with either platform. Thanks.
