It’s Up and Running, Now What? Strategies for Building Content in an Institutional Repository

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-10-06) Jannik, Catherine M. ; Woynowski, Kent

In the December 2, 2006 SPARC Open Access Newsletter, Peter Suber predicts that in 2007, "[Institutional repositories] will soon be a new fact of life for universities, like libraries or web sites, and the discussion will shift from their utility to the best practices for filling them." (Issue #104, http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/12-02- 06.htm, accessed 12.06.2006) Georgia Tech's DSpace based institutional repository, SMARTech, reached 10,000 items shortly after 2 years in existence. Georgia Tech has also instituted a dark archive, named Aardvark, also based on the DSpace software for inhouse management of the Archives' digital materials, to serve as the basis for future public digital exhibits. Aardvark currently houses around 1,500 records and over 240 gigabytes of materials.

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-10-02) Goodisman, Michael

Social insects, including ants, bees, wasps, and termites, are "among the greatest achievements of evolution".

In fact, the formation of the remarkable societies displayed by social insects represents one of the major transition points in evolutionary history. This talk provides an overview of the biology of social insects and the development and importance of social insect societies. Includes as discussion of the natural history of important social insects found locally, including fire ants and yellowjackets.

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03-27) Alexander, Eleanor
