I work in a company with about 5,000 employees. I want to create a library or an information-sharing center that can primarily store eBooks, journals, and standards, but can also store videos, photos, etc.

I have some requirements for the library, such as:

  1. It must have some form of user permission system to lock certain users out of specific libraries, or vice versa, locking certain libraries to specific user groups.
  2. Every user must be able to contribute to the library.
  3. It must be able to perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
  4. Optional: It should be able to store videos and other media types.

In my own research, I couldn't find any platforms that can do all of these reliably. The only option I found that somewhat matches my vision is Calibre – Calibre Web. Is there any platform or workflow you can suggest? I would appreciate any help.
