California State University system is moving from Dspace to Hydra (Fedora-based) early next year. At least a few of us in the consortium are thinking of moving our local CONTENTdm to the hydra as well. --- Bin Zhang Digital Information Services Librarian Library Systems & IT Services, University Library California State University, Sacramento 2000 State University Drive East, Sacramento, CA 95819-6039 (916) 278-5664 (O); (916) 278-3891 (F) bzhang AT csus DOT edu > -----Original Message----- > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of > Phillips, Jean > Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2016 1:05 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] CONTENTdm And Alternatives > > At FSU we are using Islandora for both our Digital Collections and the > Research Repository (http://diginole.fsu.edu).
