Is dLibra the most popular digital library software in Europe?

14 01 2009

Initial results of the EuropeanaLocal technical survey, shows that the dLibra software may be the most popular digital library software package in Europe – at least among the digital libraries interested in joining Europeana and willing to respond to the survey ;-) .

The most popular solution are the dedicated software systems developed for the need of particular digital libraries, not distributed publicly as “out-of-the-box” software packages. Second place is for dLibra with its several tenths of deployments in Poland. World popular systems like Greenstone or dSpace are used only be several among the institutions, which answered to the survey.
