Hyku for Consortia

Repositories at Scale

From the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI)
and the Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration & Innovation (PALCI)

PALNI and PALCI receive IMLS grant to enhance and sustain Hyku

PALNI and PALCI have received an additional $248,600 IMLS grant for Sustaining the Hyku Repository Platform: Addressing Hyku’s Unique Community Coordination and Collaboration Challenges. 

PALNI and PALCI have collaborated to create

Hyku for Consortia

An open-source, cost-effective institutional repository solution built on the Hyku software. Supported by grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the project has evolved with active input from the Hyku Commons and Samvera user community. Libraries from VIVA and LOUIS participated in the pilot phase, and development continues with support from Software Services by Scientist.com. The platform is now actively expanding its user base and functionality to meet the diverse needs of academic institutions and consortia.

Why Hyku for Consortia?

In the face of continued budgetary pressures, libraries seek cost-saving approaches to their work. Due to costs or other constraints, those unable to deploy institutional repository services are increasingly looking to consortia to serve this role. Hyku supports the repository needs of library groups by increasing affordability and flexibility in a scalable, multi-tenant environment.
