Hyku for Consortia transitions from pilot phase to full production

The Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration and Innovation (PALCI) and the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) are proud to announce the successful transition of Hyku for Consortia from pilot phase to full production—now serving 40 libraries across four prominent partners in the Hyku Commons: PALCI, PALNI, the Boston Library Consortium (BLC), and the Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA).

This milestone marks a significant achievement for the project, as Hyku for Consortia moves beyond initial testing to provide stable, production-level service supported by a robust, community-driven infrastructure. Additionally, collaborators recently received another round of funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to enhance and sustain the Hyku open-source community.

“The transition to production includes rigorous testing of our business model to ensure that Hyku can sustainably meet the needs of consortial libraries,” says Amanda Hurford, PALNI Scholarly Communications Director. “As we continue to refine and adjust this model, our focus remains on creating an open-source, adaptable repository platform that scales efficiently across institutions. Ongoing funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is helping fuel this process, ensuring we have the resources to both sustain and enhance Hyku for long-term success.”
