IGeLU 2022 Hybrid Conference and Developers' Day 12 -15th September, 2022

In 2018, University of Utah Marriott Library and Museum of Fine Arts were awarded a 4-year grant by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, "Landscape, Land Art and the American West". This initiative is revolutionizing how the two institutions work together, capitalizing on both the Museum’s and Library’s substantial collections with the goal of transforming the U into a global resource hub for scholars studying the West. This presentation details work by the Discovery Subcommittee during 2018-2022 to achieve one key grant goal: integration of library and museum materials in a unified search interface. Topics include user needs assessment, product prototyping, systems project management, metadata remediations and transformations, working across institutional boundaries and with external software vendors. The Subcommittee ultimately met its goal by integrating museum materials alongside library collections in the campus discovery tool (USearch, using Primo Classic).
