1. Welcome Alicia!
2. Update on DSpace, LTD support, and project timeline
- The plan- soft launch in fall, migrate to hosted instance in spring
- LTD can't support a locally hosted dspace long term
Questions
How does the state of the Elements project affect this decision?
- The repository connector must still be licensed separately
- Something we'll be exploring with Atmire: is it possible to do this without the connector?
Is it worth looking at other options since we're at this point?
- We
- Dspace will allow the project to move more quickly; the repo we have can be populated starting in the summer, and the vendor can do the migration work as a part of the contract
2. Defining a "soft launch" for the fall
- See this document for a list of system requirements that should be in place at launch
- Do we want Data in the repository at soft launch? Tentatively, yes.
- New theme. This can be customized through the CSS.
Idea- involve ref librarians in the process of locating articles. To be discussed further.
Question- how are we going to frame the soft launch to faculty, library staff
- Is it a 'beta'?
