Welcome

The Digital Library Workbench is a catalog of software tools and services for collecting, building, and distributing digital libraries. This site was developed to fulfill the final project requirement of ILS655, Digital Libraries, held online at Southern Connecticut State University in the Summer 2007 session, and taught by Dr. Yan Quan Liu. The target audience for this Library is my classmates, other ILS students, and librarians everywhere who have limited financial resources for building digital libraries. All the tools and services collected here are available for free (as in “free beer”) or at relatively low cost. Many of them are also open source (free as in “free speech”) and therefore customizable for special applications.
