Hello! As a former Systems Developer for the RDN I'd probably be the first to say go for the RDN... :-) That said, you are right, other organisations often wondered about whether they should replace their own site listings with those of the RDN and I've been to meetings where we tried to suggest using the RDN would be a good thing, but also that the RDN should augment, rather than replace local listings (for reasons you know - local lists may contain resources *not* in the RDN and, perhaps, not meeting the RDN's selection criteria. Many people used ROADS (including the RDN) to provide the services you mention and if it still works for you, then why replace it? Old isn't always bad and you probably will have found all the bugs by now! :-) The IMESH project at UKOLN reviewed (some time ago) products that could be used to create Web 'gateways' like those provided by ROADS and you may want to visit the site: http://www.imesh.org/toolkit/work/tech_review/products/ and the report mentioned on that page from the Renardus project http://www.renardus.org/about_us/deliverables/d1_1/D1_1_final.pdf lists some software that would probably do the job too... (The link on the IMESH page is broken...) Like I said though - these 'reviews' are from around the time of ROADS and, while a useful start, probably a bit out of date... A quick look at sourceforge reveals the following: http://sourceforge.net/projects/webbiblio/ "WebBiblio is an open source software to manage bibliographic data of information resources available on internet." and http://sourceforge.net/projects/potnia/ "Potnia is a subject gateway software, developed for scientific directories, including journals, papers, bibliographic databases, research webs and so on. Database structure is compliant to Dublin Core Metadata Set" which may meet your needs. And there are other open source things around, for example: http://www.greenstone.org/ (though this may be a little heavy weight for managing links... :-)) and you can get some more like it from: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=related:www.greenstone.org/ There are simple solutions like a static Web page that lists your "local" resources (though that can be hard to maintain) coupled with RDN-Include at the top or something like that - see: http://www.rdn.ac.uk/rdn-i/ (I wrote that so I know it is good! :-)) Many of the RDN Subject Gateways invested time in building their own interfaces to managing internet resources, using various tools - perhaps the most common being PHP and MySQL. With a little programming effort you could develop one in house with these tools - which has the advantage of being "yours"... I hope at least a little bit of this is useful to you - it was a nice stroll down memory lane for me! :-) Pete Cliff Library Systems Analyst University of Bristol
