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 digitalcomm...@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.
