Gain a hands-on understanding of Hyrax and Hyku basic capabilities

Understand the practical differences between Hyrax and Hyku

Make your very own repository! Hyrax and Hyku are popular Samvera software solutions that respond to many repository use cases - ETD's, special collections, publication of organization documents and artifacts, etc. There are even hosted, turnkey Hyku services available, which make these solutions approachable for users with few technical resources. However, among a field of repository options, it can be difficult to see through the technical jargon to understand just what Hyrax and Hyku offer the user, and what the difference is between the two platforms. Notch8 will lead a 90-minute user-side, hands-on walkthrough of Hyku, offering a broad preview of what these platforms are capable of. In this workshop, users will:

Explore the public interface, including search and browse
Explore the user dashboard, including creating and editing a work
Explore the admin dashboard, including admin sets and collections management"

Needs:
Your own computer with a standard internet browser - preferably Chrome, Firefox, or Safari

An insight into the ways that technical developments within the Samvera Community can support digital strategy
An appreciation of the ways that Samvera can support digital content management requirements and connect different areas of library activity

The aim of this workshop is to provide a space where senior staff involved in strategic planning can be introduced to Samvera and the Community, to hear about how Samvera can make a positive contribution to their digital strategy and how to make this work for them and their staff. The content of the workshop will be akin to the Introduction to Samvera session that has run before, but will be additional to this and focused specifically on addressing the strategic benefits that AUL and senior staff in organisations seek when engaging with external initiatives. Attendees are encouraged to make use of this workshop to discover what makes Samvera tick and how this can align with local strategic planning. Alongside content delivery there will be a focus on discussion and questions to help identify what the Samvera Community can offer, and what it needs to offer, to meet local requirements.
