June Abbas (Professor, OU School of Library and Information Studies) developed and conducted user studies that informed the data model and feature design for this site.

The administration and staff of OU Libraries have been instrumental in the design and construction of this site. We are particularly appreciative of the support we have received from the following people:

  • Rick Luce, former dean of OU Libraries
  • Carl Grant, Interim Dean of OU Libraries
  • Tara Carlisle, Digital Scholarship Specialist
  • Logan Cox, Infrastructure Developer
  • Mark Laufersweiler, Research Data Specialist
  • Tyler Pearson, Director of Informatics
  • Jen Waller, Director of Open Initiatives & Scholarly Communication

The site's original theme was designed and built by Beth Soderberg of Fíonta (https://fionta.com/), in collaboration with Samuel J. Huskey and with project management by Erin Rickard (also of Fíonta). Huskey rebuilt the theme from scratch as a subtheme of Bootstrap5.

Alex Ward wrote the original templates for dynamically displaying content in JSON-LD and provided technical support and advice for data security, backup, and migration. Those functions have been superseded in this new version of the site by a custom module.

Samuel J. Huskey built the site, configured the content types and the Solr search database, and wrote the scripts for serializing the data in JSON-LD. He is the general editor of the content of the DLL Catalog.

Innumerable people helped by sharing information and expertise, but the following deserve special acknowledgment:

  • Hugh Cayless and Tom Elliott, for advice on Linked Open Data and other technical and scholarly subjects.
