My institution has a collection of text-searchable
PDFs and would like to try out some of the open source
software now available for storage and retrieval of
those PDFs (XPat Lite, DSpace?)

Could anyone on the list with a test-searchable
digital collection please share your experience with
database/search engine systems that store and retrieve
relevant results from keyword searches? 

We are particularly interested in getting a prototype
going in order to begin to work through some of the
major search and retrieval issues, as well as to help
us market our vision for the collection's future use.

Many thanks, and feel free to respond off-list,

Kim Braun
Digital Library Project Archivist
