[Insightl] Going to 6.0?

[Elisa Lanzi]

Dear Insight,
We are testing 6.0 and hope to move forward for fall term.  One thing I was unsure about is when access to AMICA, ARCHIVISION hosted collections will be available in 6.0 for subscribers? Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Elisa

Hello - reviving the Insight mailing list - I'm curious as to who will be
moving to Insight 6.0 this summer?  The last message from Luna indicated
that the new product will have higher memory requirements - I'm also
wondering what size collections folks have these days - our Visual Resources
Collection now houses 250K+ images (or will in the next few weeks) - we are
planning to start a second collection - VRCII as we have been having
difficulty loading the whole collection on our production server. Windows
Enterprise Server may fix this problem - but that's at a pretty significant
cost - so increased memory requirements have me worried.

 

We have done development on our local DL application - including facets and
more advanced functionality, the cross-collection search from this page also
will return results from our Contentdm collections - home of our Yale Daily
News newspaper digitization project, see:
http://www.library.yale.edu/libraries/digcoll.html .

 

Our upgrade to 6.0 will depend on its release and resource requirements - if
it comes too late in the summer - it will not be considered until Christmas
or next summer most likely.
