Our challenge
• All digital library components generate costs
• In smaller institutions there may be no proper hard IT infrastructure to reuse for a digital library
• Apart from costs - lack of expertiseto cope with IT infrastructure
• How to simplify deploymentand reduce the cost of having a digital library without limiting its value for end users?
