- How long have you been using Spotlight?
- Since 2014
- How many people are on your Spotlight team?
- Service team: Service manager + 6 members from across Stanford Libraries
- Development team: Varies. For active Spotlight at Stanford work cycles, we typically have 1 product owner (not a developer), 1 Scrum master (not a developer), 1 UI/UX staff, 3-6 developers
- List or number of published Spotlight exhibits
- As of October 2018, 70 published exhibits
- Have you used other digital collections platforms at your institution such as Omeka? If so, do you maintain more than one digital collection platform?
- We have not used Omeka. We used to have a custom-built, in-house platform for digital collections. It was retired in 2016-17. After January 2018, we will only have 2 stand-alone digital collection sites remaining (running on Blacklight/Solr), and we anticipate these will eventually be migrated to our Spotlight instance.
- Have you used Spotlight to migrate older digital collections? If so, what were the lessons learned?
- Yes. More information on this coming.
- What Spotlight features do you use?
- All.
- What features would you like the community to develop or plan to develop yourself? (Gathered here so this community can help developers across institutions with coordination)
- Enhancements/improvements to geoblacklight plugin.
- Improved support for IIIF manifest upload.
- What are your biggest barriers to using or expanding Spotlight use at your institution?
- More information on this forthcoming.
