From Islandora to Alma Digital: Digital Grinnell's Journey

Session Information

In 2023, Grinnell Libraries made the choice to switch to Alma Digital from Islandora. With the Humanities and Digital Scholarship Librarian going on leave and the Digital Library Applications Developer having to learn Alma from scratch, there would be much work to do. The Digital Grinnell collections were converted from MODS to Dublin Core Terms, and with the help of the premium Sandbox, the migration was underway. Follow Grinnell Libraries' journey through why we moved, how we got started, what barriers we encountered, how we got around them, and where we are now!
