CITIS summary of recently released software components from CanCore which designed to provide the building blocks for a digital library. Though you would never know it by reading this article, these components were developed at Athabasca University as a part of the eduSource project (and were the subject of a great deal of discussion and wrangling by the wider eduSource development team) and will be soon joined by a wider range of applications and tools (why they were attributed to CanCore is a bit of a mystery). I love Wilbert Kraan's summary: "It's essentially a cheap and cheerful digital repository that's very easy to implement." Brian Lamb comments, "Hmm, well… I kind of know what all those things are… Then there’s the stated rationale for these components, 'to greatly simplify the challenging task of developing learning object repositories â€â€all without adding in any way to development costs.' Well, I can get down with that. But what do I do with them? How do these components fit in to what I or other LO projects at UBC are trying to do?" That's more like my reaction.
