22 Should I use Islandora as a CMS?

23 Should I use Islandora as a CMS? 1. Make a list of your requirements a. build digital collections b. persistent identifiers c. allow for multiple file formats (images, data, audio, video) d. preservation work-flows

24 Does Islandora do what I need it to do? 2. Evaluate the platform against your requirements: s a) build digital collections? b) persistent identifiers? c) allow for multiple file formats (images, data, audio, video)? d) preservation work-flows?

25 Does Islandora do what I need it to do? 3. Test/demo the platform (tied to step 2 evaluation) Where to test Islandora? Virtual Machine or s

26 DEMO TIME! Did you download the demo content? Yes? Ok, time to turn on your virtual machine.

27 DEMO TIME! Open Virtual Box Click on the Islandora virtual machine and then Start

28 DEMO TIME! You will see a black screen and a bunch of code. Let it run. When it is finished running, open Chrome.

29 DEMO TIME! In Chrome, go to You should see the Islandora login page

30 DEMO TIME! Username: admin Password: islandora Click Log in

31 DEMO TIME! Start testing Islandora: a) build digital collections? b) persistent identifiers? c) allow for multiple file formats (images, data, audio, video)? d) preservation work-flows?

32 DEMO TIME! Start testing Islandora: a) build digital collections? b) persistent identifiers? c) allow for multiple file formats (images, data, audio, video)? d) preservation work-flows?

33 a) Build digital collections First we will need images and metadata.

34 a) Build digital collections What kind of images?

35 a) Build digital collections What do I do if I need to edit images? Tools: XnConvert ImageMagick (Command Line) ScanTailor Photoshop ($)

36 a) Build digital collections What is metadata?

37 a) Build digital collections What do I do if I need to create metadata? 1. Pick a metadata standard (Dublin Core, MODS ) 2. Use a text editor (Sublime Text) to create.xml files based on the standard you ve chosen 3. Make sure each object has a unique identifier and the file is labelled with that same identifier 4. Validate your XML

38 a) Build digital collections Image and metadata file names must match

39 a) Build digital collections Create a.zip file of the image & metadata files
