Islandora: An Open Source Institutional Repository Solution

In the summer of 2013, Southwest Minnesota State University and Minneapolis College of Art and Design joined PALS as development partners for the Islandora Digital Repository Project. Islandora uses common open source components such as Drupal, Apache, and SOLR to build a dynamic, robust, and customizable Institutional Repository. This session will include a demonstration of Islandora and a discussion of the project, challenges, lessons learned, and successes. There will also be time for questions and answers about Islandora and PALS’ Islandora services. PALS’ goal is to provide Islandora to Minnesota libraries and archives
