University of Alberta

ERA — Education and Research Archive (on Scholaris)

ERA is the University of Alberta's institutional repository. It was the library's own Samvera/Hyrax application, Jupiter, at era.library.ualberta.ca; that host now redirects to ualberta.scholaris.ca, the university's tenancy on Scholaris, the national DSpace service operated by OCUL/Scholars Portal. The deployment answers as DSpace 8.4 with a HAL+JSON REST API at /server/api and an OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint whose Identify response names ERA and gives erahelp@ualberta.ca as the administrative contact. The content, the service desk and the DOIs are the university's; the contract is DSpace's and the platform is the consortium's, so no DSpace specification is saved under this institution.
