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
