The Washington-based private university consolidates its scholarship, archival photos, and historical campus publications in one place, and gains its first institutional repository.
The new repository will be a one-stop shop for WWU scholarship, innovation, and history, the new destination for faculty publications, student theses, poster presentations, backlogs of departmental newsletters, historical issues of The Collegian and The Mask, and more.
A campus-wide taskforce of administrators, faculty, and staff, led by Director of Libraries Dustin Kelley, selected the platform.
"There are numerous reasons we chose TIND: excellent cloud-based support, numerous recent success stories at other universities both large and small, their sleek design, enough local customization options, and their intentionality relating to file preservation," said Dustin Kelley, Director of Libraries, Walla Walla University.
With TIND DA and TIND IR on a shared instance, the library will move roughly 79,000 files and 3 TB of content out of ResourceSpace and a locally maintained site. Configurable submission forms, review workflows, and DOI minting via DataCite let the team support faculty self-submission, graduate student deposits, and archival photo workflows on the same system.
Walla Walla University joins a growing number of academic libraries using TIND as a single platform to host both their digital collections and scholarly output.
