The prototype of a Digital Collection Management system of the Cooperative Education Report and Projects is developed by using Omeka, the open-source software in the group of Web Content Management, Collections Management, and Archival Digital Collections Systems.  The software supports various types of presentations on websites. Moreover, it can apply to many kinds of work, such as the information in libraries, museum artifacts, academic works, and various exhibitions. Besides, the Omeka software is easy to use, providing web 2.0 functionalities, as well as supporting information in both bibliographies, documents attachment files in various formats, such as doc, .docx, .pdf, .zip including digital image files, multimedia, both audio and video. Users can search the information in the system by using keywords, Boolean, and Exact Match.
