This is the branded Spotlight deployment at Stanford, that is, Stanford has elected to call this Spotlight deployment "Spotlight at Stanford". You can make this whatever you like. Also, if you have multiple sites, such as one for each special library, you can add them in any order or style you like.

- Have you used other digital collections platforms at your institution such as Omeka? If so, do you maintain more than one digital collection platform?

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)
- We are currently working on full text search and internationalization features. More information on this coming (will post youtube demo list for work cycle which will be ongoing through March 2018).
- What are your biggest barriers to using or expanding Spotlight use at your institution?
