Archon creates a portal which allows a user to search all the materials, searching by any term, and even build a "notes" file of these. We actually attached this portal to the library webpage.

It does have digital content within it, but it's used more heavily as an archival tool. Our archivists claim that archival researchers nationwide find Archon a very effective tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137713.post-28362474415924212912008-03-08T10:23:00.000-05:002008-03-08T10:23:00.000-05:00I've used Greenstone and I posted that comparison ...I've used Greenstone and I posted that comparison between Archon and AT. They're pretty different. Greenstone is for creating a user interface for searching digital content. It doesn't do much management beyond that (or at least it didn't used to); although because its a search tool, it does allow you to add metadata. It's not quite as content-management-based as something like Dspace. Archon is an archival management tool, but as far as I know, it has NO user interface, it's strictly for staff use.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857009116761816327noreply@blogger.com
