Great plugin for libraries and cultural institutions
by jorgemet·1 year ago
Arguably the best WordPress plugin for digital collections of libraries and cultural institutions. I have successfully implemented it for several repository projects in Uruguay.
Perfect plugin!
by Yura Shkoda·3 years ago
Now I have a repository with no “server headaches” like with Dspace, for example, and near the same functionality. I think this beautiful plugin opens a future for the digital repositories, at least for my library. Thank you!
