This paper presents a comparative study of two popular Digital Library Software, Dspace and Fedora. The paper begins with brief descriptions of Open Source Software systems and Digital libraries, and presents a comparison of Dspace and Fedora in two tables based on a set criterion. The study suggests that though Fedora provides the best repository framework as compared to other digital repository software systems, it appeals to high technical end users and as a result there are not as many installations of the software.
