The collaborative effort between the UC San Diego Library and the UC Santa Barbara Library (called Project Surfliner, after the train that connects the two cities) to share development teams to work on a common digital library platform is going strong after almost three years. Building from Samvera core components and taking a radically iterative, requirements driven approach, our team has slowly articulated a new architecture.
This talk will focus on how our services fit together and how we've made our choices so far. Particular attention will be paid to how our collaborative practices and commitment to cross campus deployment have influenced our technical direction.
