Description
Institutional Repositories (IRs) offer a place to showcase student, faculty and staff scholarship. In addition, they provide an opportunity to have campus-wide discussions about many topics related to scholarly publishing.
In this presentation I will share Macalester’s experience in planning the IR, beginning with the need to provide open access for student honors projects, and I will highlight the expansion of our collections to include student award winning papers, PowerPoint presentations, and transcripts of college oral histories. I will tell how our efforts to populate our IR led to new opportunities to work collaboratively with faculty. And I will share our successes and the challenges we faced in developing the repository. My presentation will answer some basic questions that others who are in the initial stages of exploring the development of an institutional repository may have.
