Abstract
Migrating an institutional repository requires a special blend of skill, cooperation, and good fortune. This chapter outlines the mindset and management involved in moving an existing institutional repository from Digital Commons to another platform (DSpace) in a U.S. public comprehensive college library. This article highlights both challenges and opportunities and provides perspective for others considering similar undertakings. The migration required clear goals, tools, and administrative expertise. It prompted timely discussion about enhanced user experience, process improvements, inclusive patron practices, and sustainability.
