    ScholarSpace and Scholarly Communication: A Needs Assessment
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05) Tillinghast, Beth
    In the last few years there has been a marked increase in the number of educational and cultural institutions worldwide which are in the process of developing institutional repositories. Though there is a dramatic increase in the development of institutional repositories, it is, therefore, a curious phenomenon that developers of these repositories often struggle with populating them with content. This poster displays information from a recently-completed paper, which explores this situation and discusses a needs assessment conducted at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to better understand how best an institutional repository can meet the research needs of faculty and researchers at that campus. Results from the needs assessment will be graphically displayed as part of the poster.

    Don't Miss This! Recent Outputs from JISC's Repositories Work
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05) Mahey, Mahendra ; Robertson, R. John ; Stevenson, Adrian
    Building on the successful 03/05 programme, JISC's Repositories and Preservation programme began on June 1st 2006 and runs until March 31st 2009. As part of the Digital Repositories Programme, JISC established the Repositories Research Team. In the final stages of the programme the RRT are producing a sort of annotated index for the outputs of the programme to be used in the next stage of the process, which will be the actual synthesis and evaluation of the outcomes. The blog in progress is available at http://rrtsynthesis.wordpress.com/. Our poster will present a snapshot of twelve project outputs that we think the repository community may not know about but could be of immediate benefit to them. The indentified outputs cover areas such as: plug-ins and add-ons for repositories, repository workflow design, standards usage and related guidelines, and stand alone tools. Our criteria in the selection of the outputs will be: outputs that are ready to use, that aren't already very well-known, and that aren't otherwise disseminated at OR2009. We'll include outputs of obvious benefit that address basic questions faced by repository managers : how do I?, what do I need to know about?

    Customizing DSpace Manakin for Educational Video Collections to Enhance User Experience
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05) Foster, Marie ; Huang, Jane Q. ; Moen, William E. ; Polyakov, Serhiy
    The poster reports our experience of using DSpace Manakin for Starlink Video Repository. The project is a cooperation between STARLINK (Richardson, TX) and TxCDK of University of North Texas, under the supervision of Dr. William Moen. The project uses DSpace v.1.5 Manakin to create a dynamic digital repository system to store, manage and present STARLINK's various video collections. STARLINK has recently successfully launched its Ideas Collection with the new depository with much improved user interface and seamless integration with STARLINK's existing web site. More collection will be added to the depository for more streamlined operation. The project showcases DSpace as a low-cost and flexible platform appropriate for educational institution like STARLINK to run a web-based depository system for better resource sharing and user interaction. The poster will also discuss the challenges the project faced in customizing DSpace to provide different types of access for subscription and non-subscription users, and DSpace Manakinâ s better interface design functionalities.

    Building an Institutional Repository in Hard Times
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05) Holt, Michael ; Oguz, Fatih ; Landis, Cliff
    This poster presents an overview of an exploratory research initiative to examine and assess the viability of developing an institutional repository system at a teaching-oriented four-year university with minimal monetary commitment. A need has been identified for an institutional repository and necessary steps have been taken to implement it. Several departments worked together to create a prototype Institutional Repository using DSpace, an open source repository software. This repository represents a unique endeavor, in that it has been instituted at a non-research based university and has chosen to involve students in the planning, design, implementation, and documentation stages of the project. In addition, the university's Library Science students will also be involved in creating and maintaining collections. This poster focuses on the steps taken to set up and the plans to maintain a quality Institutional Repository at Valdosta State University without placing a large demand on the institution's resources.

    UPR Digital Repository Instrument of Community of Practice to Support Research
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05) Centeno, Purisima
    The poster presentation illustrates all the steps to create a UPR Digital Repository, the structures and the impact of this development in support the research and creative work in UPR. These initiative it's part of the project AILCUPR a Community of Practice to Support Research it's generate a UPR Digital Repository (http://dspace.uprrp.edu:8080/dspace/). A place in which UPR collect, preserve, disseminate and provide access to gray literature from researchers, faculty and student investigations from University of Puerto Rico. Our faculty and graduate students can deposit their research into the Repository. They can put posters, power point presentations offered in conferences and proceedings, and dissertation and master thesis. The poster aims to show how a community of practice strategy helps to develop a repository by strengthening good communications in a system wide university with 11 campuses across the island. It is expected that as a result of our management, develop an inventory of best practices and recommendations that can be implemented in other units or enclosures. This tool will facilitate and assist in developing the integration of information technology in areas of work in tandem to promote a sense of community among librarians UPR System and creative work in order to identify best practices around how to support the researcher, from the library, to develop and strengthen a culture of evaluation and appraisal. This community aims to identify and share information as a strategy of community support among the sites and units that comprise the UPR system. The project responds to initiatives by the Vice-President in Academic Affairs, University of Puerto Rico, through the umbrella project called Redefining the other communities in Practice UPR Libraries System: a collective experience. This project conforms to the following evaluation of academic libraries (Association of College and Research Libraries) to visit some campuses and some units and identify areas to strengthen. The methodology used in the project is through the formation of communities of practice, defined as groups of people who share an interest or passion for something they do, and learn how to do better as they interact regularly.
