Services

Transform your vision for digital scholarship into reality with tailored solutions that extend beyond out-of-the-box functionality. Whether you need specialized workflows, unique integration with campus systems, or custom preservation strategies, our development team creates solutions that honor both librarian priorities and IT requirements.  Whether it's customizing your Blacklight-based discovery interface, improving your IIIF support, building new features into Hyrax or Hyku, or something else that will make your digital collections more accessible, Notch8 is here to help.

We know enough about accessibility to know that there is no turnkey solution (despite what others may try to sell).

We use best practices and industry-standard toolsets to meet your compliance goals while delighting your less-abled patrons and administrators.

Access specialized technical expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire. Augmenting your team with our seasoned engineers provides your institution with dedicated development resources that scale with your needs. This approach is ideal for institutions managing ongoing repository enhancements, custom integrations, or periodic development sprints. Your fractional engineer becomes an extension of your team, gaining valuable context about your environment while bringing specialized repository expertise that would be difficult to maintain in-house. This model offers predictable costs, reduced hiring complexity, and the flexibility to adjust resource allocation as your projects evolve.

Experience the peace of mind that comes with a fully-managed repository solution. HykuUP combines the power of the Samvera framework with simplified administration, allowing your team to focus on collections rather than infrastructure. With flexible storage tiers designed for collections of any size, HykuUP grows alongside your digital assets without requiring additional technical staff.

Transition your valuable collections between platforms without disruption or data loss. Our proven migration methodology preserves metadata integrity while streamlining the process, ensuring your scholarly materials remain accessible throughout the transition. We've successfully migrated millions of objects from diverse platforms including Alma, ArchiveSpace, CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, and Preservica.

We ensure your digital repository remains robust, secure, and reliable through proactive maintenance and responsive support. Our tiered support options range from essential security monitoring to comprehensive partnership services, allowing you to select the level of engagement that matches your institutional needs and resources.

Transform your digital preservation strategy with expert guidance from our seasoned repository specialists. We provide comprehensive assessments, technology roadmapping, and strategic planning that align your digital collections with institutional goals. Whether you're launching a new initiative, evaluating current systems, or planning for sustainable growth, our consultants bring deep technical expertise combined with a nuanced understanding of academic library environments to help you make informed decisions that serve both immediate needs and long-term vision.
