The
Pennsylvania
Academic
Library
Consortium,
Inc.
(PALCI)
and
the
Private
Academic
Library
Network
of
Indiana
have
joined
forces
to
explore,
develop,
and
pilot
an
open
source,
multi-tenant,
consortial
institutional
repository
using
Hyku.
We
aim
to
create
a
service
individual
libraries
may
use,
customize,
and
brand
as
their
own,
while
building
the
capacity
required
to
share
infrastructure,
hosting,
and
administration.
Both
consortia
are
currently
in
a
pilot
phase.
