Building a Better Resource: Case Study of a Scholarly Journal

Sevaa Group and the digital publishing initiative of the Emory University Libraries collaborated for several months to revamp the scholarly journal site SouthernSpaces.org from an existing Drupal 6 site to a vastly improved Drupal 7 site. Come learn about our process from migration to completion, and discuss some of the new modules and themes coming from our work together.

We'll discuss:

• Inherent challenges and opportunities when working with large educational institutions.
• Managing timeline when personal crisis strikes the team.
• Scoping out and managing expectations when new major features are requested.
• Securing maintenance agreements before the initial project is completed.

Learn about our project management process and understand why historical journals make for exciting work.
