Introduction to OpenWMS (Workflow Management System) Li Sun Rutgers University Libraries
Development of East Asian Collections in the Digital Age • Rutgers has launched many digital initiatives to support the development of library collections • The East Asian Collections have also benefited from the digital initiatives • One of the initiatives is the development of a digital application – OpenWMS • Let’s get familiar with OpenWMS before introducing how it works for the East Asian Collections
Reasons for OpenWMS • We need a good application that can handle digital cataloging • Current existing applications are mostly locally developed • This Rutgers product is unique for its extended functionality for digital cataloging with metadata creation and management tool • Unicode compliant; Web accessibility; Platform independent • Can be either standalone application or integrated with other systems or repositories • Grant based project; open source for free download and easy customization
