[Irtalk] Cardinal Scholar Home

[Michael Guthrie]

Hi All

This has been an interesting conversation; we have had difficulty in
rolling out mirage2 and have had some significant errors, but it sounds
like 5.4 may solve some of these.

I wanted to also let you know of other means of displaying an IR and its
contents.

We have integrated DSpace with Joomla and you can see the results in the
Bergen University College IR BORA: https://bora.hib.no/

This is our most complete CMS integration, but we are working on two
others, CollectionPress which is a DSpace (and other system) integration
with WordPress, and also we are co-maintaining the Drupal module for
DSpace. Both of these we hope to develop more fully this year. Currently we
can display assets and metadata within an article/blog post and will be
incorporating Browse by and solr search. These have already been
implemented in Joomla as you can see in BORA.

We felt that by using a CMS to display to the public, a lot more
functionality can be drawn upon by the CMS and its myriad of extensions,
not to mention templating is so much easier and accessible to php
developers and css specialists. For the admin workflow, we would still use
the DSpace interface, and so mirage2 is the best choice for this.

Hope that gives some food for thought.

Best wishes,

Michael
