DSpace w/Jenica Rogers
Jenica's presentation is available at www2.potsdam.edu/rogersjp/SUNYLA06
DSpace is open-source software used to build your online repository
Here are issues:
Open access
Preservation
ownership
Reputation
Repositories are addressing ownership/access issues
Repositories are searchable
Repositories allow reduced access time
Why would we want an institutional repository?
we want online content!
we have unique collections
Our users want to access, use, and retrieve online
What will you put into an institutional repository?
faculty scholarship --> don't have enough? You probably do!
collaborative work between faculty and students
Electronic portfolios --> both students and faculty
Our library collections, both administrative as well as public
Unique campus resources
SUNY Potsdam has some great projects in the works -- faculty research, student theses, Crane School of Music recordings
OLIS is providing DSpace for SUNY libraries
Checklist at DSpace to Build an Institutional Repository
1. Need to ask "why do I want an institutional repository?"
2. Write a mission statement
3. Tackle copyright issues (do you want a copyright statement? a campus copyright statement? should you ask the authors involved for permission? who will educate your faculty about copyright?)
4. What will your information architecture consist of? then, work with OLIS to set it up
5. Load your first collection
6. What will the process be like? One administrator, multiple people submitting content?
7. What metadata will I use? DSpace uses Dublin Core with qualifiers
8. Outreach--> education will be key to get people to your institutional repository; outreach to faculty on campus --> check out Dorothea Salo's blog post, Marketing an IR
9. Evaluate the process and the collection.
Question about statistics --> can OLIS provide statistics --not for each institution, but perhaps SUNY-wide.
Mary Beth Bell asked whether access is limited to just SUNY students or just campus?
Jenica answered that they are searchable (metadata), but not accessible outside SUNY. Choice each institution gets to make on their own.
Carey mentioned that, beginning in 2007, a clause will be added to the copyright release form for PhD dissertations to allow for Open Access copies.
