This presentation will focus on the latest version of Fedora, Fedora 6.0, how we got there, and specific areas of interest for those in the Samvera Community. We will highlight the most important features available in 6.0 and share migration progress reports and successes from community members. Much of the work done was supported by an IMLS grant-funded project to pilot upgrades to Fedora 6.0 and create a toolkit for others in the community to use in their efforts to adopt and migrate to the latest version of the software and we will share the Grant progress and what this means for Fedora 6.0 users. We will also talk about our plans for the future of the Fedora program and how we plan to utilize community input to focus our efforts.
Across the humanities and social sciences, impacted communities have criticized researchers for producing literature that reinscribes stereotypes, myths, and misinformation through academic practices that view marginalized communities as inherently outside of academia. There has been movement in recent years to course-correct through centering the scholarship of people with lived experience, and yet many of the systems researchers rely on remain unchanged -- systems that were not created to support the scholarship of impacted people. People from marginalized communities have higher statistical rates of trauma, making trauma-informed practices across academia an issue of equity and sustainability. Institutions that do not prioritize trauma-informed practice will not be able to recruit, educate, or retain students and researchers who have lived experience. Libraries form a part of these structures that can either further alienate already marginalized researchers, or facilitate their work. Metadata librarians are already working on projects such as updating subject headings and using conscious editing to update descriptions. In order to continue to foster scholarship that is meaningful and relevant, digital repositories can build on and extend this work to make the materials they contain more accessible to researchers from impacted communities through trauma-informed equity practices.
The collaborative effort between the UC San Diego Library and the UC Santa Barbara Library is still going strong. Find out what’s changed after sharing resources and product development goals over the last year. What needs more work, where are we finding our strengths, and how haven’t we run out of train puns yet? The two campus project leads will walk you through sharing teams and having a stakeholder base that is across two campuses! If you’re looking to learn how to collaborate with another university, this is the session for you.
Another cool thing about Miro, Story mapping is a great way to engage teams to align and prioritize the features they want to build or enhance. During a story mapping exercise the team goes through the process of brainstorming and documenting the many possible user stories associated with a feature or set of features. With the focus on business and user value, each story is then prioritized to ensure the team builds the right things - at the right time - and for the right reasons. Team members gain perspective and shared context while working in both the problem and solution spaces. In this session, we’ll walk through a story mapping exercise using Miro, one of our favorite virtual whiteboarding and visual collaboration tools. Update, and We found that we are able to export the board simply for the purpose of sharing it here. The frames are recognized automatically as slides.
Hyku is a solution based on the Hyrax engine. It takes the components of Samvera, and delivers a turn-key but customizable repository application. This presentation from Samvera Connect 2021 provides an update on the latest Hyku release, future plans, and the current status of Hyku pilot projects across the community as of October 2021.
- Large ingestion of 4 gig tifs with derivates and preservation checks (10k works) in ~ 1 hour - 5k batch metadata updates ~5 minutes - Round trip spreadsheet update (5k records in 5 minutes) - Preservation dashboard / verification - Local authority creation and updates This presentation will discuss the process, what we learned, and how it relates to the Samvera community at large. and On St. Patrick's Day NU went live with our new digital collection repository and asset management tool prioritizing speed of ingestion and metadata updates. We reframed the problem by working with end-users to look closely at workflows and prioritize solutions rather than any specific technology. The resulting application ecosystem is extremely budget friendly and the architecture supports
electronic thesis and dissertation solution] are so new that few training resources are available. This document attempts to provide a resource for training staff in the technology skills necessary for implementing a digital repository. We list the technologies and the problem solving skills required to work effectively with each technology, along with a practical example of how each can be used in the creation and running of a repository., institutional repository, and This was the working document for a Hydra Curriculum circa 2010. Most of this content became part of the HydraCamp curriculum. Why a curriculum? In the effort to create digital repositories, libraries rarely have the luxury of hiring new staff who are both fluent in the necessary technology and cognizant of the particular concerns and responsibilities of libraries. The technology skills required for the implementation of a [digital library
Building and using an open source community-supported system to manage audiovisual materials for a digital archive/library has many advantages and challenges. Being able to dictate the features, have a system speak to specific needs, and have staff on hand that can change or fix problems is certainly appealing. Embarking on this effort with an established open community, such as Samvera, has the advantages of a robust community of developers and service vendors to turn to for help. Managing needed customisations to core code base, keeping track of updates and contributing to the community, however, is challenging. For WGBH, a public television station with a robust 60-year archive, most customisations are due to the use PBCore to structure the metadata of the audio-visual items. This paper focuses on WGBH’s efforts to build a system for its Media Library and Archives based on the Samvera digital repository framework and its Hyrax and Avalon Media System ‘products’. and Abstract
Samvera Connect 2020 was held on-line due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some 340 people registered for the event. The linked video is a recording of the Day #4 events. The 'Related URL' below links to the start of this presentation in the YouTube recording. This is the full recording of the day's presentations lasting some 3 hours 23 minutes. Shorter recordings of the individual presentations are to be found elsewhere in this repository. Search 'Connect 2020 on-line' and use the facets to select just 'presentations'.
A recording of the opening session of Samvera Connect 2020. Labelled "Welcome and housekeeping" in the program, the session also included a memorial to the late Julie Allinson and a tribute to the Community's retiring Operations Adviser, Richard Green.
