Why explore a pilot?• Virtually all institutions are interested in IR cost
containment
• Almost 90% provide or plan to provide locally-held digitized content
• Significant majorities are interested in:o Hosted serviceso Aggregating content o Collaborative opportunities

Why Fedora/Islandora?
• In 2011, DST examined a number of IR options (DSpace, OJS, Eprints, Greenstone, Omeka, CONTENTdm, SimpleDL, BePress, Fedora/Islandora, Fedora/Hydra, IRPlus, Zentity, LASR)
• Fedora had most flexible back end which would serve the greatest number of use cases
• Islandora was the only viable front end for Fedora. Hydra is way too nascent and Fez is obsolete
• Easy migration path

Why partner with Colorado?• Setting up and maintaining Islandora is nontrivial
• Colorado has expertise and the ability to support a production installation
• Lack of depth of Fedora/Islandora knowledge in the Alliance

Goals of pilot• Test the technology
• Determine appropriate workflows
• Develop migration strategy from other platforms
• Model recurring fixed and overhead costs as well as staff time

But there were challenges
![Page 13: Fedora IR Pilot Digital Services Team Alliance Summer Meeting July 13, 2012 Chris Cox (WWU) Chair Kira Homo (UO) Jennifer Ward (OHSU) Kyle Banerjee (Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b952d6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ChallengesNot enough institutions ready to move now to be financially viable
Shared ILS initiative absorbs much energy
Transitions in Digital Services Program and technical issues create support and functionality issue
![Page 14: Fedora IR Pilot Digital Services Team Alliance Summer Meeting July 13, 2012 Chris Cox (WWU) Chair Kira Homo (UO) Jennifer Ward (OHSU) Kyle Banerjee (Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e905503460f94b952d6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recommendations• Wait for the time being• If we enter into a contract for a
vendor on the Shared ILS initiative that offers a credible IR solution, explore the viability of that option before taking further action
• Those specifically interested in Islandora should monitor the UO/OSU joint project
