Digital Commons: Supporting You on the Front Lines

The coronavirus pandemic has shown us just how fast libraries – and those who support them -- need to move to meet newly emerging needs in the academic and research communities. We’re all finding new ways of working, and it’s been inspiring to us to see how the community is finding value in revisiting different capabilities of Digital Commons, such as conference hosting. We are excited, too, that the roadmap we are on complements this new environment by increasing your efficiency in supporting all these needs – like automating time-consuming processes such as content ingestion; implementing APIs to make your repository content as valuable as possible; and bringing an even greater variety of metrics to your dashboards. We’ll share what we’re doing in the background so you can stay effective on the front lines, supporting your students, faculty, and administration
