Description

FSU Libraries is currently completing a migration from Digital Commons (a hosted proprietary IR platform) to Islandora (an open source digital collections platform based on Drupal and Fedora Commons). In implementing a mission-critical open source system, we have encountered a variety of challenges related to technical development, shared governance, communications, and user testing, and would like to share some of the lessons learned so that others can benefit from our experience.
