Improving Bulk Import and Export in Hyku

[Amanda Hurford]

Hi all, and Happy Friday!

I'm writing to share Hyku for Consortia's recent blog post about improving import and export in Hyku.  Below is a snippet, and you can follow this link for the full post: https://www.hykuforconsortia.org/2022/09/16/improving-bulk-import-and-export-in-hyku/

In the user satisfaction survey performed at the kickoff of the Reducing Barriers to Hyku Adoption IMLS grant, we found that “Uploading and creating works in batches” was one of the areas that users were least satisfied with. The recent UX report on Hyku Commons administrative functionality similarly highlighted batch workflows as an area requiring attention. In order to respond to user feedback about batch/bulk import, and to further add functionality for users to be able to export data, Hyku for Consortia worked with SoftServ (formerly known as Notch8) to complete a development sprint around import and export. Over the spring and summer of 2022, SoftServ upgraded Hyku Commons’ Bulkrax utility to introduce several functional improvements and bug fixes.
