Questions:
ETDs... if they're to be migrated to DSpace, how will they be accessed?
...
David: we should wait for now. The longterm plan is to feed items from the dark dspace instance into Blacklight. Persistence of URLs and URIs is a major concern. Global discoverability (via google) is another.
Annie: Why would users be accessing the data through Blacklight?
Another display option: create a blacklight powered discovery interface hosted on a separate website. This would allow us to use blacklight without forcing users to go through the general library search interface. See Columbia's Annie: Why would users be accessing the data through Blacklight?
on the UI-:
David: DSpace has a public UI, but customizing it would take time we don't have.
Q's: Who will handle the curation internally? Who will populate the dspace via elements? Who will handle the long-term work.
Info: the current installation is the dev environment, and will be replaced.
Double ETD workflowworkflows: They'll be added to CDM and DSpace simultaneously, until CDM can be turned off.
Adjusted timeline: Bridging Elements-DSpace could extend into the fall. DSpace with UI summer '19? (Unclear; david says that with that much time we should ). Cynthia: conservatively, this can be done by next March the secondary and tertiary blacklight based pages w/ unified look will be ready.
