AlabamaMosaic: Using VuFind to Index a Distributed Digital Collection

Abstract

Panel Abstract: College of Charleston, Clemson and the Alabama Mosaic Project will discuss their respective decisions to replace CONTENTdm with open source software. These institutions present three different perspectives on their decision, ranging from a large scale Fedora/HubZero project to a shoestring budgeted, understaffed Fedora/Hydra conversion. Topics covered will include evaluating open source technologies for your project, metadata migration, discovery interface construction and lessons learned. Emily Gore, DPLA Director for Content, will chair.
