The toolkit contains a software toolkit for migration from CONTENTdm to the Hyku repository as well as a website of information on general system migration considerations and practices. The toolkit is comprised of a standalone desktop application to harvest metadata and digital objects from CONTENTdm and a Rails gem that facilitates importing said harvest into a Samvera repository. After Phase I work of information gathering from grant partners, collaboratively developing use cases and toolkit components, the University of Houston partnered with the University of Victoria and Texas Digital Library to conduct a pilot to test and refine the software in the toolkit. During the pilot, several improvements were made to the toolkit applications with an emphasis on better functionality and stability. As a multi-institutional project team, the panel will discuss the different practices and perspectives employed by these three partners throughout Phase 2. University of Houston’s Content Strategist, Lead Repository Developer, and Metadata Services Coordinator will discuss toolkit development and how the Bridge2Hyku project has helped with their own preparations to move to a Samvera-based platform. University of Victoria’s Head of Metadata will discuss institutional customizations of Hyku and lessons learned during migration so far, while Texas Digital Library’s Senior Software Engineer will describe their participation in the pilot and how consortia play a role in migration workflows. The panel members will explore reasons to migrate, why they chose Hyku to pilot, and how the tools developed help in the overall workflow of migration.Item CDM Bridge "Vintage Ad" Poster - Samvera Connect 2018(2018-10-02) Crocken, ToddThis poster presentation for the Samvera Connect 2018 conference showcases the CDM Bridge application that the Bridge2Hyku grant project team built.

Research shows that institutions are inclined to switch from proprietary digital systems to open source digital solutions. However, content migration from proprietary systems to open source repositories remains a barrier for many institutions because of a lack of tools, tutorials, and documentation. The B2H Toolkit includes general migration strategies and use cases as well as tools specifically designed for transitioning from CONTENTdm, a digital collections management software, to the Hyku digital repository. The toolkit acts as a comprehensive resource to guide migration practitioners in migration planning, metadata analysis and harmonization, and to facilitate the repository migration process. This paper focuses on how the toolkit’s metadata guidelines and migration tools aid in migration planning, metadata analysis, metadata application profile development, metadata harmonization, and bulk ingest of digital objects into Hyku.Item You Are Not Alone: Statistics from Bridge2Hyku’s digital collections environment data collection survey(2018-05-16) Crocken, Todd; Washington, Anne; Watkins, Sean; Weidner, AndrewAs part of the deliverables for phase one of the Bridge2Hyku [B2H] project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (LG-70-17-0217-17), the project team at the University of Houston surveyed grant partner institutions about their digital collections. The survey was designed to collect data related to, but not limited to: content types, metadata schema, digital collection production workflows, preservation considerations, stakeholder considerations, and more. The poster will showcase statistics gleaned from the survey that highlight trends in the overall preparedness, or unpreparedness, of institutions transitioning their data in the digital space, particularly onto open source platforms.
