Notes
Information Gathering Session Take-Aways
- Pros
- it just works, we don't generally complain about it, its the best part of our stack.
- "fedora 6 looks good"
- they would like a black box that doesn't require staffing or expertise
- cloud isn't on the horizon, its now. we've been seeing this and we're addressing
- Cons
- collective organizational issues around digital preservation
- workflows; they are all different. how does fedora fit into it
- they now realize that some systems don't do digital preservation
- backlog
- av streaming – campuses don't provide it so the library starts doing it
- research lifecycle and the way library systems can fit in to them
- migrations, migrations, migrations
- Discussion
- has there been a competitive analysis of the repository space. no there hasn't we don't know where to go about getting one.
- migration services might be a thing to look into. LYRASIS is doing a project with OSU to explore migration services.
- this is related to something rosalyn and este did last year, we think its generally a good idea to keep moving these sessions forward.
- Upcoming sessions
- A bunch of north american institutions and looking to schedule one for european institutions
