Hot Topics: The DuraSpace Community Webinar Series 

Series Three:                                                                               "Get a Head on Your Repository with Hydra End-to-End Solutions"

Hydra is an open source project that gives institutions using Fedora a framework for rapidly producing highly tailored and polished digital library applications. Collectively, the Hydra Partners have produced a range of solutions for different content types (ETD's, articles, images, media, data, etc.) and services (institutional repositories, archiving born digital materials, preservation systems, etc.) that complement Fedora and enable libraries to realize the full potential of repository-powered solutions. This webinar series will introduce the Hydra project, demonstrate some of its many solutions, and delve into its technical componentry. 

 Webinar 2: A Case Study on General Repository Applications

Curated by:  Tom Cramer, Chief Technology Strategist, Stanford University Libraries

Presented by:  Rick Johnson, University of Notre Dame, Co-Director, Digital Library Initiatives and Scholarship Program with Richard Green, Consultant to Library & Learning Innovation, University of Hull.

In the second part of this three-part Hydra Webinar series, we will provide overviews and demonstrations of Hydra implementations currently in production at various institutions.  Showcasing the breadth of Hydra's utility, we plan to include applications for IR, Digital Exhibits, audio and video management, ETD's, datasets, image libraries and workflow management.
