Grants and Acquisitions

Abstract

The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) and the Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration and Innovation (PALCI) have successfully completed an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant to fund the project, “Hyku for Consortia: Removing Barriers to Adoption.” This collaborative effort aimed to enhance the adoption of Hyku, an open-source multi-tenant repository solution, by addressing identified barriers and creating a comprehensive toolkit for consortia and library groups to implement their own institutional repositories. Hyku is an application developed and supported by the Samvera.org open-source technology community.

The University of British Columbia (UBC) Library has acquired several rare titles as part of its Japanese Collections, thanks in part to support provided by the David Graham Memorial Fund. Digital copies of two of these titles are now openly accessible to the public through UBC Open Collections.
