Agenda: 

  • Avalon - Adding Avalon features to Valkyrie Hyrax is possible. However, it’s probably not anytime soon.

  • Roadmaps Alignment Group UpdateUpdate 

    • Community Report, finish up at end of june 

  • Allinson Flex - some work in Hyku being done, what are some goals in the larger Samvera community about it

    • Survey went out to Hyku users on ways to improve and what is wanted

    • Based on Hyku 6, have heard its not a good fit for Hyrax

    • Amigos is doing some work on this

    • Valkyrie compatible

    • Some want to be able to use the YAML file and the UI

    • Having customizable metadata is an important selling point for possible adopters

  • Follow-up on discussion led by Christine Peterson about creating an issue to provide custom thumbnails in Hyrax and Hyku. Potential use cases:

    • Metadata only records with custom thumbnails: Provide access (via URL) to a publisher copy of a book or article that the library is barred from adding to their IR. The publisher may have restrictive rights, and/or the faculty member might be uncomfortable providing anything but the published version.

    • Metadata only records with custom thumbnails: Some faculty keep their websites and prefer a single access point from there. I don't know if this is a significant number at this point, though. It used to be more prevalent than it probably is now.

    • Rights issues: Provide a custom logo, e.g. lock symbol, for restricted content as a reminder that works require authentication for access. Currently, public records with all restricted files look appear defective. This is confusing for users.

    • Rights issues: Override the IIIF Viewer when a smaller image or thumbnail - rather than full image in IIIF Viewer - is needed for sharing limited access to works with rights issues. This is also the Atla Digital Library approach.

    • PALNI uploads metadata only with an image, and then deletes the image and the metadata stays

    • If image is private, no thumbnail is shown, so it looks like a problem even if its not 

    • Typically a work issue, but can also be a collection example

    • Some Hyku versions can choose the collection file or upload a separate image. 

    • Hyrax versions are working differently, some let you choose from all works in a collection, some only let you choose a handful

    • Is this mostly a work or collection issue?

    • Issue about collection-level thumbnail: 

    • Not sure we know yet about what exactly we need for the work level development

    • Nurax - https://dev.nurax.samvera.org/  

    • Parent collections with child collections - no works to select for thumbnail on parent collection; have to add a work on parent collection to be able to set a thumbnail, then either have out of place work in parent collection or sometimes you can remove that work from the collection and the thumbnail stays in place (might be a bug?)

    • Avalon is a little different, trying to figure out how display something for transcript

  • Open discussion

    • Heather is at open repositories next month. Has 7 minutes to highlight the Samvera community

    • Regional meetings are coming along, about to announce the west coast one. Maybe State of Samvera after the 3 meetings

...

    • Smaller Samvera presence at DLF

Next Meeting: June 25th, 2024, 2-3 pm Eastern
