Basic Workflow

Page 5: 5-7 November 2014 DR Workflow Practical Digital Content Management from Digital Libraries & Archives Perspective

5-7 November 2014

Step 1: Contact faculty

Contact faculty member(s) to describe the benefits of depositing scholarly works in the IR. Interested faculty respond with citations, vitae, or by providing actual documents to be archived in the repository.

Step 2: Check author’s rights

For published works, with a specific citation in hand, check SHERPA/RoMEO < http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/> or the publisher’s website to identify the policy for an author’s right to self-archive.

Suggestion: Create a wiki to document the policies for each publisher, copying actual text from publishers’ websites and adding your own comments as needed.

Step 3: Obtain the materials

If the publisher permits archiving, obtain the text either online or, more frequently, from the author in manuscript form. All content files are stored on the libraries’ local area network (LAN).

Step 4: Create Metadata

Create the metadata in the repository and attach the content.

Suggestion: Create a template for a cover page that contains citation and other relevant information and is combined with the text in a single PDF document for the repository.

Step 5: Provide repository info to faculty

Communicate again with the faculty member, providing the repository handle for the archived content.

Step 6. External Promotion

Harvesting Build virtually one global repository

despite individual repositories having their own policy and organization.

To streamline the harvesting process, open standards and protocols are used. The most important ones being OAI-PMH and the Dublin Core metadata standard.

Step 6. External Promotion

Listing repository in directories

There are many open access repository directories. To increase awareness and marketing of your repository, include your repository in such directories.

Step 6. External Promotion

Improve discoverability

By deploying appropriate techniques into the system such as the handle, you make the items in the repository easily identified and for long periods of time, even when location changes.

Problems

Top reasons why researchers do not share their content:

1. They are unaware that an IR exists2. They are concerned about copyright

issues3. They are too busy

Solutions

1. Outreach, outreach, outreach! 2. Provide copyright support3. Make it easy to use and/or provide

mediated help

4. Make researchers aware of the benefits: Increase visibility of their content globally
