Description
Academic and other public service institutions are increasingly being encouraged to migrate away from locked-in commercial repository services in favor of supporting open source. But what are the rewards and challenges of adopting an open source repository solution? Hyku is the turn-key, multi-tenant Samvera repository solution that offers a robust and ever-growing program of features for open data preservation and discovery. It's the product of several years of collaboration and improvement, stewarded by a dedicated and engaged community of institutions as varied as the US Department of Transporation, the British Library, and several universities and library consortia. In this talk, we'll offer an overview of Hyku and it's capabilities, as well as a look at the advantages and realities of making a commitment to invest in open source.

Hyku: Collaboration and Commitment in an Open Source Data Repository
Academic and other public service institutions are increasingly being encouraged to migrate away from locked-in commercial repository services in favor of supporting open source. But what are the rewards and challenges of adopting an open source repository solution? Hyku is the turn-key, multi-tenant Samvera repository solution that offers a robust and ever-growing program of features for open data preservation and discovery. It's the product of several years of collaboration and improvement, stewarded by a dedicated and engaged community of institutions as varied as the US Department of Transporation, the British Library, and several universities and library consortia. In this talk, we'll offer an overview of Hyku and it's capabilities, as well as a look at the advantages and realities of making a commitment to invest in open source.
