Abstract

In 2019, Paul V. Galvin Library at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago launched a new iteration of the university’s institutional repository. This single instance of Islandora serves as both the traditional institutional repository and a digital collections portal for Illinois Tech’s University Archives and Special Collections. The migration from an existing DSpace repository was completed in-house by librarians without vendor assistance. This paper describes the migration process from DSpace to Islandora and explores some of the issues and decisions that arose when attempting to use a single instance of Islandora for two sometimes conflicting purposes, including questions of user interface, descriptive metadata and treatment of compound objects.
