System Architecture, Technology Support, and Authentication The Information Management System will provide stable access, offer standard security compliance, provide responsive technical support, provide robust authentication options, and allow for protection of data. Migration of existing digital content into this system and out of this system must be possible. Create Archival Records, including accession records, location records, and finding aids The Information Management System must be able to create accession records of donated and purchases archival materials with unique names, metadata parameters, and controlled vocabularies. The system must be able to create physical location records of materials. The system must also be able to crate hierarchical archival finding aids. The system must allow multiple users to access it at the same time. Users must be able to add, edit, and remove content to/from these collections in a batch or individually. Create Digital Collections The Information Management System must be able to create distinct digital collections with unique names, metadata parameters, and controlled vocabularies. The system must allow multiple users to access it at the same time. Users must be able to add, edit, and remove content and metadata to/from these collections in a batch or individually. Search and Successfully Locate Archival Collections Content AND Digital Collections Content The Information Management System must allow users to conduct simple keyword and robust advanced searching. Users must be able to limit search parameters before and after the search is conducted using filters/facets. Interoperability The digital collections content must be available for searching in the South Carolina Digital Library and the Digital Public Library of America utilizing OAI-PMH protocols. The successful Information Management System will also allow for integrations with CUL library services platform Alma/Primo VE and future digital preservation software (e.g., Preservica).
