  • Recent delays due to staff turn-over and AWS issues. See last monthly update.

  • There are a large number of things we want to do, but don't currently have a lot of resources allocated to the project.

    • Historically, only one full-time position devoted to ScholarWorks

      • David recently coming over to add a second hand.

    • Doesn't allow us to move very quickly

      • Slow progress on many parts of the project

      • Turn-over in staffing is really disruptive

  • We need to reexamine -- or for many in COLD examine for the first time -- some of the structural issues regarding the ScholarWorks project.

    • What do we really need?

    • What are the priorities?

    • What staffing, money is needed to make the priorities a reality in a timely fashion?

  • Do we really need 23 separate instances?

  • What kind of staffing, budget do other consortia have?

OJS

  • Test server up and running

  • Discussion around authentication, branding, plugins, other considerations

  • Final data migration

  • Clone, and move to production

    • Eliminating test journals from the production instance

  • Working on migrating an outside journal

    Looking into and evaluating cost/benefit of multiple instances vs. one instance.

    Historically COLD not as involved with SW

    Hasn’t been serious consideration and conversation about the resources needed to do what we want to do with an IR

    Delays (turnover and staffing) aren’t new but reflect that we are under-resourced

    Now is the time to come back to SW and reexamine what we need, including looking at what we really need--what the priorities are

    TF will look at whether we really need separate instances or if there is a better deployment model with one instance and then sep collections, staffing considerations, what are the costs associated with these things?

    COLD created a SWAT team to look at these issues (Oct 5 is deadline for nominations)

    Expected to provide report in Dec with final rec in Feb

    Also looking into implementation, doesn’t change what we are trying to achieve, we’re carrying those forward. Impact is post-migration, how we are going to implement

    No option has been taken off the table, more exploration of what are the costs associated with the options and what resources are needed to move those options forward

    OJS

    Test instance of OJS up and running

    Interest has gotten to the point where we need to really support OJS

    DW has test instance up and running (latest version of OJS with data from our ‘Beta’ OJS)

    Now migrating PUMP into the test instance into our test OJS this will have implications for other campus one-off OJS journals as they come and ask to be hosted on our OJS

    What are needs around authentication, plug-ins, branding. After this, then a final migration to the test server, and then clone to make a new production server. Then get rid of all test journals on the production site. Production will be nothing but production and close-to-production journals.

    At that point close down the beta server and it will point to the new server

    Timeline for the next month to have completed the production server

    In the future migrating journals from other places (DSpace, for instance) to OJS

    One of the challenges we’ll face is that CO is providing all the tech support and so we need mechanism to teach people how to use OJS

    Completed first pass migration for Sac State, investigating Hyrax middleware called Valkyrie, may be core component, could expedite a bit of our processing, a way to leverage diff technologies to speed up the process. KC will be at Samvera Connect and expects a lot of convo on Valkyrie

    Will pick up migrations for DSpace content perhaps using it

    Working to get implementation together for CSUSM production site

    Goal to keep it moving forward because it will impact all campuses

    Self-deposit form creation is in works

    Demo sites available to do more onboarding (eventually) to familiarize us with the platform and what options we have. Help us understand Hyrax and how it differs from DSpace

    What the linked data looks like and what it means for system resources
