PUDL to DPUL migrationThe current digital library website (PUDL) is being retired in favor of a new system called “Princeton University Digital Library” (DPUL) developed by Jon Stroop and his team. Collections of material which have MARC records in Voyager are being migrated from the pudl now; other material will be migrated later when additional infrastructure is built. Joyce has been meeting with stakeholders for an introduction to the system and a discussion about ways to organize digital collections in the new system
