This talk was provided by Sarah Shreeves of the University of Miami, during the NISO Virtual Conference held on Feb 15, 2017, entitled Institutional Repositories: Ensuring Yours Is Populated, Useful and Thriving.
5. Lesson
1:
IRs
and
IR
managers
– in
general
– were
left
to
find
their
own
way.
Of
course,
we
weren’t
going
to
make
much
of
a
dent
in
green
OA.
Staffing
and
support
can
make
an
enormous
difference
in
the
success
of
an
IR,
but
IRs
in
and
of
themselves
are
not
going
to
change
the
direction
of
OA.
(we
had
a
chance
and
we
lost
it
mostly)

Lesson
2:
If
your
IR
exists
in
a
vacuum,
it
will
suffocate.
IRs
should
be
part
of
your
scholarly
communications
program,
your
collection
management
strategy,
your
discovery
services,
and
within
your
liaison
librarians’
area
of
expertise.

Lesson
3:
IRs
can
be
vital
parts
of
the
university
and
should
solve
problems
for
our
faculty
and
students.
How
can
your
IR
be
part
of
undergraduate
research
and
teaching?
Can
you
offer
DOIs
to
researchers
in
need
of
one?
How
flexible
are
you?
