Item Latin American Digital Initiatives: Building a Post-Custodial Digital Repository in Islandora(2016-05-25) Polk, Theresa E.; Cofield, Melanie; Cornell, Brandon; Gibson, Jon; Gonzalez-Roa, Jose; University of Texas at AustinThis panel will discuss the development of the Latin American Digital Initiatives (LADI - http://ladi.lib.utexas.edu/home) repository within the Islandora/Fedora repository framework. LADI is the result of a grant-funded pilot project to develop a post-custodial approach to international archival collaboration at LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections at the University of Texas. Under the auspices of the grant, LLILAS Benson partnered with three archival institutions in Central America to digitally preserve and provide broad online access to collections that document human rights in the region. Rather than physically taking custody of the collections, we provided the archival training and equipment necessary to preserve, arrange, describe, and digitize them locally onsite, while our partner institutions conducted the digitization work, and created the descriptive metadata. This approach, informed by post-custodial archival theory, sought to maximize local control and build trust towards the shared stewardship of these unique archival collections. The collections have been made freely available online in collaboration with the University of Texas Libraries. Project staff worked closely with UT Libraries’ Metadata Coordinator and the Technology Innovation & Strategy unit to create the LADI platform utilizing the open source Islandora/Fedora repository framework. For UT Libraries, the project served as a test case for in-house development with Islandora, helping to identify resource, staffing, and workflow requirements. In this panel, the core project team will share how -- through thoughtful design, Drupal theming, scripts to facilitate ingest, and careful control of metadata and indexing -- we were able to bring the collections online without modifying core Islandora assets. At the same time, we will also discuss some of the distinctive challenges and lessons learned from instantiating a post-custodial digital archive in the Islandora repository framework. The presentation will conclude by demonstrating how the LADI repository is enabling new insights into scholarship on human rights in the region. Uniting these three distinct collections within the same repository framework provides a new perspective into how both repression and resistance were internationalized at the height of the Central American conflicts. It is also providing the foundation for a new graduate history seminar at UT that integrates traditional modes of research along with digital scholarship methodologies in critically interacting with, interpreting, and contextualizing these unique collections.Item LibRepo Tools: An ETL Toolkit for Library/Museum Repository Teams(2016-05-25) Zhao, Tao; University of OklahomaThe University of Oklahoma Libraries has developed an easy-to-use, customizable ETL (extract-transform-load) repository toolkit for API or screen-scrape harvesting of open access journal content by our faculty on external sites that don’t support OAI-PMH (use REPOX for those!). The web-based toolkit, written in Java, is called LibRepoTools and is also used to transform and move metadata and content between the platforms we support (DSpace, Islandora, OJS).Item oEmbed Service for Islandora(2016-05-25) Zhao, Tao; University of OklahomaThe University of Oklahoma Libraries launched an international exhibit in 2015 called Galileo’s World (http://galileo.ou.edu) featuring our unique History of Science collections. The Drupal-based exhibit site links to high-resolution scans in an Islandora repository (https://repository.ou.edu) using an Islandora-specific fork of oEmbed (http://oembed.com) that will be contributed to the Islandora Foundation in 2016.Item Session 2B | Migration from Dspace to Islandora version 8(2022-05-24) Peters, Todd; Long, JasonThis presentation will discuss the recent installation of an Islandora 8 repository at Texas State University. The University Libraries has maintained a Dspace repository serving as an Institutional Repository for several years. It contains not only scholarship such as electronic theses and dissertations and faculty publications, but also digitized items from special collections. There is general satisfaction with how Dspace supports Institutional Repository scholarship workflows and documents, however, the platform has limitations for support of special collections type material, such as images, audio and video. The University Libraries recently moved special collections materials into a newly established Islandora 8 repository. This presentation will discuss exporting and cross walking Dspace Dublin Core metadata into Islandora using the external Islandora tool, Workbench. Installation and setup of the Islandora 8 software using Docker and customizing Islandora to include searching and faceting will also be discussed.
