Adam Strohm
Paul V. Galvin Library, Illinois Institute of Technology, United States of America
 
Paul V. Galvin Library at Illinois Institute of Technology recently launched a single installation of Islandora that serves as an institutional repository and a digital collections portal for the University Archives. This presentation will explore our problem solving around migration, metadata, UI, and more to support these sometimes conflicting purposes.

Smith College Libraries, United States of America
 
The digitization was done; the metadata was created; all that was left was ingesting the objects into Islandora! A million objects. This presentation shares what we wish we’d known about scale, the technology roadblocks we encountered, the innovative solutions we adopted, and how partnerships made success achievable.
