Is this course right for me?
Target Audience: LIR staff
In July 2021 the Library officially retired Digitool and moved to a new system for hosting theses and exam papers. STAX is an open source repository built using a system called Samvera, which allows us to carry out a number of tasks that weren't possible in Digitool, as well as helping to make cataloguing simpler and more efficient. Colleagues from Library Systems, Scholarly Publications & Research Data, and Cataloguing & Metadata were involved in choosing and implementing the new system, and moving all the data from Digitool to STAX. In this session we'll talk about why we chose STAX, how we set up the new system, what changes are still to come, and what difference it all makes to Library users and staff.
