Brief overview of the ‘Goobi Administration’ course
The ‘Goobi Administration’ course is aimed at system administrators and others with a more detailed technical knowledge of Goobi and its infrastructure. If focuses on administrative topics, including individual configurations, metadata mapping and server-based scripts. A large part of the course is devoted to special configurations and modifications, and you will therefore need to work with a Linux terminal. Given the highly specialised nature of the course, participants will need a strong technical background and in-depth knowledge of how Goobi works.
