Making IR Content Discoverable Improving Institutional Repository Content Discovery Through Your Local Catalog and WorldCat

Teaching And Research ◽

Content Discovery ◽

Institutional repositories (IRs) host a lot of unique and valuable digital content. More and more law libraries are implementing IRs to meet the needs for open access, long-term preservation, electronic publishing, and libraries' evolving role in teaching and research. But most patrons don't know where or how to find that content. So librarians must make the IR content more discoverable (and easy to find).

The University ◽

Most higher-education institutions strive to be publicly engaged and community centered. These institutions leverage faculty, researchers, librarians, community liaisons, and communication specialists to meet this mission, but they have largely underutilized the potential of institutional repositories. Academic institutions can use institutional repositories to provide open access and long-term preservation to institutional gray literature, research data, university publications, and campus research products that have tangible, real-world applications for the communities they serve. Using examples from the University of Minnesota, this article demonstrates how making this content discoverable, openly accessible, and preserved for the future through an institutional repository not only increases the value of this publicly-engaged work but also creates a lasting record of a university’s public engagement efforts and contributes to the mission of the institution.

Common Understanding

During the course of planning an institutional repository, digital library collections or digital preservation service it is inevitable to draft file format policies in order to ensure long term digital preservation, its accessibility and compatibility. Sincere efforts have been made to encourage the adoption of standard formats yet the digital preservation policies vary from library to library. The present paper is based against this background to present the digital preservation community with a common understanding of the common file formats used in the digital libraries or institutional repositories. The paper discusses both open and proprietary file formats for several media.

Open Access (OA) atau akses terbuka dapat menjadi jalan alternatif dalam menyebarkan informasi ilmiah kepada seluruh dunia tanpa dibatasi ruang dan waktu. Repositori institusi atau instutional repository (IR) telah banyak diaplikasikan pada beberapa perguruan tinggi di Indonesia. Tulisan ini mendeskripsikan pemetaan perkembangan repositori institusi perguruan tinggi di Indonesia yang open akses dan perangkat lunak yang digunakannya pada portal OpenDOAR. Penelitian ini terbatas pada repositori institusi perguruan tinggi yang telah terdaftar di OpenDoar saja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan jumlah perkembangan repositori di Indonesia pada OpenDOAR mulai dari tahun 2008 hingga 2018 ini. Sementara perangkat lunak yang digunakan ialah Eprints, Dspace, dan lainnya.ABSTRACT Open Access (OA) can be an alternative way of disseminating scientific information to the globe without limited by space and time. Institutional repositories (IR) have been widely applied to several universities in Indonesia. This paper describes the mapping of the development of open access institutional universities in Indonesia and the software used from the OpenDOAR website. This research is limited to the repository of tertiary institutions that have been registered in OpenDoar only. The results showed that there was an increase in the number of repository developments in Indonesia in OpenDOAR starting from 2008 to 2018. While the software used is Eprints, Dspace, and others.

Property Regime

The collection and long-term preservation of digital content pose challenges to the intellectual property regime within which libraries and archives are accustomed to working. How to achieve an appropriate balance between copyright owners and users is a topic of ongoing debate in legal and policy circles. This paper describes copyright rights and exceptions and highlights issues potentially involved in the creation of a nonprofit digital archive. The paper is necessarily very general, since many decisions concerning the proposed archive's scope and operation have not yet been made. The purpose of an archive (e.g., to ensure preservation or to provide an easy and convenient means of access), its subject matter, and the manner in which it will acquire copies, as well as who will have access to the archive, from where, and under what conditions, are all factors critical to determining the copyright implications for works to be included in it. The goal of this paper is to provide basic information about the copyright law for those developing such an archive and thereby enable them to recognize areas in which it could impinge on copyright rights and to plan accordingly. After initial decisions have been made, a more detailed analysis will be possible. As the paper indicates, there are a number of areas that would benefit from further research. Such research may not yield definitive legal answers, but could narrow the issues and suggest strategies for proceeding.

Purpose This paper aims to verify the implementation of digital preservation policies at the institutional repositories (IRs) of Brazilian Federal Universities. Design/methodology/approach The methodology used involved the verification of the information available in the Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) and on the websites of the IRs, to confirm the existence of published digital preservation policies. In this study, a sample of the 26 IRs of Brazilian Federal Universities registered with OpenDOAR, which represents 68 per cent of these repositories, was used. Findings The main conclusion is that the IRs of these universities do not have any published digital preservation policies, even though some repositories state their intention of preserving digital material in their institutional information policy. Originality/value The stakeholders of IRs need to implement a programme to guide their activities to preserve digital materials in the long term. In fact, similar to examples worldwide, this programme should take the form of an institutional commitment outlined in a digital preservation policy. IRs at Brazilian Federal Universities still have a long way to go to guarantee access to digital materials in the long term.

Open Access Publication ◽

The transition of Cultural Anthropology to an open-access publication required that the Society for Cultural Anthropology take on the publishing responsibilities formerly fulfilled by Wiley-Blackwell. This entailed the expanded use of already established infrastructures, the development of relationships with outside production vendors, registries, and archiving agencies, and designing for the long-term preservation of the journal’s documents. By taking on these responsibilities, the Society of Cultural Anthropology has itself become a publisher.
