12/12/2023
  1. The Islandora Community updated how objects display in Islandora 2. Due to a theming conflict with Northwestern Health Sciences the update caused the objects not to display. Simon updated the code, objects now display, still working on displaying thumbnails.

 4/15 of our sites are live on Islandora 2

Lessons Learned:

  1. Need handle.net set up before go-live, if using
  2. Weekly updates were too frequent- lots of functionality broken. Moved to monthly updates.
  3. Metadata is particularly tricky from 7 to 2
