Rationale

Allowing staff to quickly add content directly to our own platform from other cross-compatible collections will simplify sharing between institutions, encourage collaboration, and create more diverse collections.

Outcomes

• Increased Content Availability

By streamlining the process of adding content to the collection, users will have access to a wider array of resources, enriching the overall offerings of Canadiana and partner institutions.

• Streamlined Content Sharing

Enabling direct saving of manifests from cross-compatible systems will facilitate seamless content sharing, allowing for quick access to valuable resources across institutions.

• Enhanced Partner Collaboration

The ability to save content between cross-compatible institutions will foster collaboration, encouraging partnerships and shared initiatives within the academic and cultural heritage communities.

• Encouraging more Diverse Collections

The integration with various cross-compatible systems will support the inclusion of diverse collections, broadening the scope and depth of available materials.

• Efficiency in Resource Management

The direct saving feature will enhance the overall experience of staff and partners by simplifying the process of accessing and contributing content, making it more efficient. Quick and easy content addition will improve resource management, reducing the time and effort required to integrate new materials into institutional storage.
