Item Developing the DPLA Texas Service Hub, v.2. Collaboration to build the next generation aggregator for Texas(2017-05-25) Steans, Ryan; Park, Kristi; Woodward, Nicholas; Tarver, Hannah; Hiott, Judith; Halbert, Martin; Texas Digital Library; University of North Texas; Houston Public LibraryIn 2016, the Texas Digital Library received an LSTA grant from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission to develop a prototype of a new Service Hub for Texas which will provide metadata from collections across the state to the Digital Public Library America. Teaming with the University of North Texas, home to the Portal to Texas History and the Houston Public Library, TDL has undertaken the challenge to collect and share the metadata of the incredibly diverse landscape of repositories and databases from across Texas. This presentation will share the goals and mission of the pilot and the community of libraries and archives supporting the effort. We will discuss how TDL evaluated existing and potential technologies by interviewing existing Service Hubs across the country, and how we eventually settled on our choice of technology, a description of the pilot and partners, and discuss how we believe our service will be deployed. In addition, we’ll discuss plans for a Texas-centric discovery layer, intended to promote the riches of Texas in a spectrum of repositories.Item DPLA Hub Expansion Project Update(2017-08-16) Park, Kristi; Woodward, NicholasItem May 2019 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2019-05-15) DeForest, Lea; Mumma, Courtney; Park, KristiItem September 2021 Forum(Texas Digital Library, 2021-09-15) Deforest, Lea; Mumma, Courtney; Park, Kristi; Suarez, AlexItem Serving as a Service Hub for the Digital Public Library of America(2014-04-18) Neatrour, Anna; Roy, Jason; Carlisle, Tara; Cummings, Rebekah; University of Utah; University of Minnesota; University of North TexasThe Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) provides a portal for a rich variety of resources from libraries, museums, archives and cultural heritage institutions across the United States. The success of this portal is accomplished with the support of existing “service hubs,” many of whom have been actively engaged in data aggregation within their states and regions for a decade or more. In this panel, DPLA service hubs representatives from the Minnesota Digital Library, The Portal to Texas History, and the Mountain West Digital Library will discuss how they share their content, the effects of contributing to DPLA, metadata interoperability and best practices, data exchange agreements, technology platforms, community outreach, new digitization initiatives, and other lessons learned from contributing to a national digital library. Panel participants represent both statewide and regional collaboratives, providing varying perspectives on the topic. This session seeks to acquaint attendees with the relationships between multiple service hubs, their state and regional partners, and DPLA. The presenters will also clarify the difference between “content hubs” that maintain a one-to-one relationship with DPLA and “service hubs” that act as a portal for multiple institutions and provide an on-ramp for smaller memory institutions.Item TxHUB Metadata Guidelines(Texas Digital Library, 2019-11-01) Long, Kara; Woodward, Nicholas; Graciani Picardo, Paloma; Washington, Anne; Tarver, Hannah; Duran, Albert; Tomfohrde, Katie; Gushee, Liz
