Ultimate DIY: Islandora Software and Virtual Research Environments at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)

About This Session

(VRE) service at UPEI, which uses UPEI's homegrown Islandora software to build custom digital repositories to support campus research and digitization projects. This presentation will present a high-level overview of the software, and showcase its functionality in current projects. In addition, the workflow and management surrounding UPEI's projects will briefly be discussed, as well as funding strategies, and the ongoing challenge of sustainability. UPEI's VRE service reflects the changing needs of researchers, and the transformation of grounds from which libraries and librarians perform traditional roles of stewardship and service.
