<div dir="ltr">Proquest is now providing us with files of the archival newspapers we purchased from them. They say that there are no libraries that are self-hosting access to this data, and predicted that the cost of creating a platform to search the metadata and deliver the TIFFs would be costly.<div><br></div><div>I've attached their metadata sample file. Does anyone have suggestions on the software we could use to provide access to this material? We'd prefer an open-source solution. The reason we are not paying the platform fees for this material is because they got very little use. We can't justify spending funds on a proprietary software solution for this, because the material is not in great demand at our library. </div><div><br></div><div>-- </div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature">Stacy Pober<br>Information Alchemist<br>Manhattan College Library<br>Riverdale, NY 10471<br><a href="mailto:stacy.pober@manhattan.edu" target="_blank">stacy.pober@manhattan.edu</a></div>
