Migrated to Hyku
Boston College Law School (LIRA)
Boston College Law School migrated its Legal Institutional Repository & Archives (LIRA) — originally "Digital Commons at BC Law," hosted on bepress's Digital Commons — to the Hyku-based Ubiquity Repositories platform after Elsevier's 2017 acquisition of bepress. A key driver was flexible collection structure: the previous platform's rigid taxonomy limited how materials could be grouped, whereas the new repository let LIRA bundle books, high-resolution images and text into unified collections. The migration, planned around a 14-week Gantt-charted schedule, gave the team a clear overview of the process and a chance to audit a decade of legacy metadata. The new platform also enabled DOI minting, which was not possible before.
