E2010
Campus open access mandates, the potential for the Federal Research Public Access Act or similar legislation to require public access to federally funded articles and data sets, and a growing acceptance of download statistics as a measure of impact of one's research have caused a resurgence in the interest and use of institutional repositories (IRs). This workshop will explain how IRs naturally align (or misalign) with the goals and work practices of faculty, researchers, and students and review successful strategies for content recruitment. Moreover, the workshop will be framed by the rapidly shifting higher education and open access landscapes, which may propel IRs in unanticipated ways.
