After nearly a year of work, the libraries recently launched an updated version of the software stack that powers parts the Duke Digital Repository<\/a>. This work primarily centered around migrating the underlying software in our Samvera<\/a> implementation — which we use to power the DDR — from ActiveFedora to Valkyrie<\/a>. Moving to Valkyrie gives us the benefits of improved stability along with the flexibility to use different storage solutions, which in turn provides us with options and some degree of future-proofing. Considerable effort was also spent on updating the public and administrative interfaces to use more recent versions of blacklight and supporting software. <\/p>\n

\"ddr<\/a>
Administrative interface for the DDR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also used this opportunity to revise the repository landing page at repository.duke.edu and I was involved in building a new version of the home page. Our main goals were to make use of a header implementation that mirrored our design work in other recent library projects and that integrated our ‘unified’ navigation, while also maintaining the functionality required by the Samvera software. <\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a>
DDR home page before the redesign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also spent a lot of time thinking about how best to illustrate the components of the Duke Digital Repository while trying to keep the content simple and streamlined. In the end we went with a design that emphasizes the two branches of the repository; Library Collections and Duke Scholarship. Each branch in turn links to two destinations — Digitized Collections \/ Acquired Materials and the Research Data Repository \/ DukeSpace. The overall design is more compact than before and hopefully an improvement aesthetically as well.<\/p>\n

\"new<\/a>
Redesigned DDR home page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also incorporated a feedback form that is persistent across the interface so that users can more readily report any difficulties they encounter while using the platform. And finally, we updated the content in the footer to help direct users to the content they are more than likely looking for.<\/p>\n

Future plans include incorporating our header and footer content more consistently across the repository platforms along with bringing a more unified look and feel to interface components.<\/p>\n
