Abstract

This paper presents a set of tools necessary for creating a functional digital library. It is used in four libraries in the Republic of Serbia: Belgrade City Library, City Library “Vladislav Petković Dis” in Čačak, Public Library “Milutin Bojić” in Belgrade, and Pirot Public Library. An effective digital library contains standardized metadata, a text search function, a fast and intuitive web interface, and a metadata filter. The ResCarta Toolkit contains all the necessary components to quickly and efficiently create a functional digital library, from metadata input to a web application presenting digital objects. The tools are presented in the order of use.
