Most of Art Gallery of NSW website (and the satellite sites www.artafterhours.com.au, www.gallerykids.com.au, www.insideartexpress.com.au and www.thearchibaldprize.com.au) are powered by MySource, an open source* Content Management System (CMS) created by Squiz.net. MySource also powers the Art Gallery's email newsletters Artmail and Art After Hours. Most e-commerce pages (shop, venue hire and exhibition ticket sales - which appear in separate, smaller windows) are also powered by MySource. Event ticket sales e-commerce pages (which also appear in separate, smaller windows) are powered by an e-commerce package managed by the Art Gallery Society of NSW. The browse/search interface of the Collection - which also appears in a separate window - runs on a specialised CMS developed by Vernon Systems, in collaboration with Squiz.net. The Research Library catalogue is a web-enabled database, running on a separate server, which is "embedded" by MySource into the main site. The Art Prizes database is also a web-enabled database, running on a separate server. However, because the interface is so different from the rest of the website, it has been left as a separate window. The Lloyd Rees Sketchbooks website is currently a series of static HTML pages. --- * Open source: "Generically, 'open source' refers to a program in which the source code is available to the general public for use and/or modification from its original design free of charge..."
