BACKGROUND INFO

After over 15 years of expanding the range of online digital content available to the AUC community, scholars and the public, the AUC Woodruff Library found it had outgrown its current digital content management systems (Digital Commons and CONTENTdm). We were looking for a system that would provide the following: ability to consolidate platforms, increased functionality for archival and scholarly content, ability to customize look and feel of the site, keyword searching of text documents, better preservation capabilities, and the ability to control rising costs. �

In 2017, a group of staff spent 9 months conducting an exhaustive review and evaluation of multiple systems. The working group proposed the library migrate to a hosted Islandora platform to accommodate both scholarly and archival content. This system would be integrated with Open Journal Systems (OJS) to manage the open access journal publishing process and hosting. Both platforms selected are widely adopted open source systems, have third-party hosted options, are used by peer institutions, and supported by a robust development community.�

During FY 2018-2019 the Digital Services Department coordinated the installation, configuration and migration of content to the new platform (total of over 65 collections).

The Library’s new Repository of AUC Digital collections, Archives, and Research (RADAR) officially launched to the public on August 1, 2019.

Highlights of the homepage include the following:

Thematically matches the overall library’s website
Prominently placed search box
Designed to work on mobile devices (responsive design)
Modern look and feel to the design

Digital Storytelling:

CHIS 319 - African American History to 1865

Archives and GLAM staff worked closely with GLAM Faculty Fellow, Charmayne Patterson to create an assignment which asked students to select three items of their choosing from the Henry P. Slaughter, Slave Documents, and the 19 ^th Century Newspapers Illustrations (Harper’s Weekly a Journal of Civilization) collections to curate an exhibition related to African American History leading up to 1865. Students wrote a series of descriptive captions for each artifact and an introduction caption stating the focus and/or theme of the exhibition.

After students met in the archives to see the materials in person DSD staff digitized selected documents to upload onto GLAM Portal to provide students with easy access to images.
