I have received many calls and emails from professional friends regarding the installation and usage of Calibre - portable version and they are asking me that whether it can be used for digital libraries? Calibre software is available for many operating systems like Windows, Mac OS and Linux. We can install the calibre In our PC's as a application. We can not share the data with other systems like digital library softwares. Yesterday I had mentioned Calibre Portable version, in which we can install the application in our flash drive and carry the files and open in any windows machine. I feel Dspace is the one of the best open source sotware for digital libraries. Dr. ARD Prasad and Dr. Savitha Barve have done a wonderful work on this project. They have customized the Ubuntu operating system with Dspace and Koha. We need to download iso image of the Software, write it on CD and we can install the software. After installation, we can open the dspace and koha software in a browser. (They are inbuilt). If you are not having separate machine to install the ubuntu, you can run the Dsapce software on Virtual machine softwares like VMWare, Oracle VM Virtual Box and Windows virtual PC. Software can be downloaded from source forge. * http://sourceforge.net/projects/liblivecd/files/Version-1.2/liblivecd-v1.2.i... * -- With Regards, C.T.Kantharaj Librarian, Cambridge Institute of Technology, K.R.Puram, Bangalore - 560036 -------------------------------- Phone: 080-25618798 / 99 Mobile: 9448611800 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
