Description
SUNY’s SOAR repository provided the opportunity to move from a commercial digital platform (bepress) to a less costly openly available alternative. A small campus implementation team worked with OLIS under a tight 12 week deadline to migrate 11,000+ items to 2 new instances – SOAR and SDR. Preliminary work included analyzing existing collections, prioritizing order of moves, defining structure, and developing new collection development standards. Process involved metadata clean up, conversion, and multiple data integrity checks. The new repository instance was online by early September and is simple, spare, and serviceable. Next steps, future maintenance, and assessment will be outlined.
