Projects approved for July 2016 – September 2016

Continuing Projects

  • Controlled Vocabulary
    This project aims to allow data entry to select and record controlled vocabulary entries for certain Image Collections fields and will proceed in parallel with Sufia 7 Upgrade.
  • Sufia 7 Upgrade
    This is an important next step in improving the functionality of the Image Collections system and the reliability of the underpinning technologies.  This should probably be considered a ‘large’ project for the quarter.

Development

  • Drupal Infrastructure
    Stand up multi-tiered Drupal infrastructure, build test modules for pulling in data from APIs, get ready for requirements from consultants for the OSUL web presence.
  • Discovery Pilot
    The recommendation from a pending report from the Discovery System Management Working Group will recommend that a proof of concept consolidated and faceted search result page would be an important first step for garnering user feedback required to move our discovery efforts forward.
  • Research Commons Rooms
    Research Commons has additional requested enhancements to iPad display and Room Reservation System.
  • Hours/Locations 
    There have been requests for fixes and enhancements of the Hours/Locations app/widgets. We also have collected useful feedback from the locations focus groups. And we would want to add additional data elements to the app so the information can be leveraged by other apps and future website via API.
  • Sufia/Hydra Image Server Functionality
    Terry Reese has identified an opportunity where we might be able to co-develop with some of our Hydra Partner peers to further develop the functionality of Sufia/Hydra and its use of IIIF image server.
  • Carmen Library Link
    Partner with ODEE in implementing a CLL for Canvas.
  • Patron Load
    Partner with ODEE in increasing the number of endpoints and batching to further improve the performance of Patron Load.

Internal

  • IT Security Tasks
    In order to operate a secure and reliable infrastructure, we have a structured list of best practices and requirements for Security Compliance. With Matt Jewett’s guidance, we have been addressing these from several directions, including systems and network security, application controls, and policy.  This is work that we have been performing as part of our maintenance cycle.
  • Migration Off of OCIO Web Hosting
    Work with content owners to get the remaining content off of the OCIO Web Hosting server.  They are changing the terms of their hosting service, and we are coming to rely less and less on this platform. Remaining features that need to be migrated are documents, downloads, projects (exhibits and albums), staff, and wikis.
