Description
Strauss Library at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus was part of the regional group of repositories called Mountain Scholar using DSpace when the lead for Mountain Scholar, Colorado State University (CSU), announced that they could no longer afford to support the Mountain Scholar instance. All the libraries currently part of Mountain Scholar had to decide whether to migrate to ContentDM with CSU or strike out on their own. Strauss Library considered our options, and with University of Colorado Boulder using Samvera, decided to pursue migrating to Samvera. The library completed the migration to Hyku, an extension of Samvera, last year at the end of July with the vendor Ubiquities Press (UP). The migration team implemented new workflows and processes with the migration to Hyku, asking for customizations from UP and requesting new developments for the implementation of Hyku in the Digital Collections. The migration to Hyku with UP allowed Strauss Library to develop new features for the library's repository, though cleanup is still in process, and the migration process led to ideas for new development projects in Hyku after migration.
