Making Collection Decisions: A Brief Overview

The DLXS resource suite is a particularly attractive digital library solution set because it provides a framework for mounting collections that users can either implement with minor changes to accommodate their own data, or can customize to meet specific collection needs. The amount to which you choose to customize DLXS templates and processes depends on decisions about how you want to store, organize, encode and display your collection.
