If you were unable to attend the ALCTS Midwinter Symposium on
Institutional Repositories, this is an excellent opportunity to learn
about repositories - history, future developments, their value to the
institution - and so much more.
****************************
ALCTS announces webinar series on institutional repositories
CHICAGO - The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services
(ALCTS) is offering three webinars on institutional repositories
beginning in April. Based on the successful 2009 ALCTS Midwinter
Symposium in Denver, the sessions introduce participants to the IR
"movement" and provide tools for decision-making about the IR
implementation and maintenance. Future topics slated for fall 2009
include open access, intellectual property, copyright, consortial
implementation and using the IR as a publishing platform.
Wednesday, April 8, 2 p.m. EDT
Institutional Repositories: the Promises of Yesterday and of Tomorrow
Presented by Greg Tananbaum, ScholarNext. ScholarNext is a consulting
firm focusing on issues at the intersection of technology, content and
academia. Tananbaum has served as president of The Berkeley Electronic
Press and director of product marketing for EndNote.
Based on his keynote addresses at the symposium, Tananbaum gives a brief
history of institutional repositories, discusses the key benefits as
well as the possible obstacles to a successful IR implementation and
considers the future of the institutional repository within the larger
context of the rapidly changing scholarly communication landscape. As
the lead in the series, he provides the framework for the series of
webinars to follow.
Wednesday, May 6, 2 p.m.EDT
Beyond the Institutional Repository: Campus Research Distribution Strategies
Presented by Marilyn Moody, dean of the university library at Boise
State University.
Moody's interests include scholarly communication issues and the
development of research distribution policies and strategies. She is the
co-author with Jean L. Sears of three editions of the reference work
"Using Government Information Sources."
Universities and libraries becoming more involved in developing a
university's research distribution policy and developing strategies for
the distribution of research and scholarship has sparked interest
among provosts and university administrators. IRs are an important
infrastructure for developing research distribution strategies, but
other issues such as scholarly communication, copyright, campus
publishing policies and strategies and open access need to be part of
the discussion. This webinar develops a framework for thinking about
research distribution policies and strategies using Boise State
University as a case study. It offers strategies for selling the
institutional repository concept to administrators and others on campus.
Wednesday, June 10, 2 p.m. EDT
Generating Campus Buy-In for Your IR
Presented by Marisa Ramirez, digital repository librarian, and Michael
D. Miller, dean of library services at California Polytechnic State
University. Ramirez is responsible for developing and implementing the
DigitalCommons_at_CalPoly, a digital repository that provides online open
access to scholarship and research produced by Cal Poly faculty and
students.
How do you translate the value of an institutional repository to campus
leaders, faculty and other key campus groups? Ramirez and Miller discuss
strategies for marketing your IR to campus, demonstrating the return on
investment. Offering perspectives from repository management and library
administration, you will learn how Cal Poly has expanded the role of its
IR as a vital component of the campus scholarly and research community.
The registration fee per session is $39 for ALCTS members and $49 for
non-members.
