Content management systems

Purpose-To introduce the special theme issue on "Content management systems". Design/methodology/approach-Each of the articles in the theme are described in brief. Findings-The articles cover a range of topics from implementation to interoperability, object-oriented database management systems, and research about meeting user needs. Originality/value-Libraries have only just begun to realize that their web presence is potentially as rich and complex as their online catalogs, and that it needs an equal amount of management to keep it under control.
