The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana

The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc., will increase the flexibility, accessibility, and usability of Hyku, the multi-tenant repository platform system. This project will extend previous work and improve the national digital repository infrastructure by enhancing an open-source platform suitable for access to diverse types of materials, addressing needs articulated by stakeholders and consortia, and reducing barriers to adoption. In addition to technology development, we will develop an operational toolkit geared toward the administration of consortially owned and managed repository services that is agnostic to any specific technology. The toolkit will provide guidelines, information, and other materials to support the development of similar services in other consortia.
