Phase II: Partnering with George Mason University and Zotero. Sean Takats, Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, George Mason University Penn State and George Mason (Zotero) Developers Creating a pluggable backend for Zotero that will allow any institutional repository to draw in content from Zotero Phase II: Integrating personal archiving into the online workflow. Connecting Zotero with Fedora institutional repository built on a Hydra-based platform. Users will claim self-authored publications via Zotero and deposit into ScholarSphere from Zotero interface. scholarsphere.psu.edu Phase II: Integrating personal archiving into the online workflow. Project will generate open source code and an open source API for other IR software (Eprints, Dspace, Islandora) scholarsphere.psu.edu Phase II: Connecting discovery to the scholarly workflow. Journal article (new content) RSS feeds will be added in Zotero. Users will be able to select feeds most pertinent to their research areas / needs. Phase II: Examining the impact of Zotero enhancements on the Humanities users workflow. Repeating research methodology From first phase of study ( ) with Humanities / Zotero users Discerning the impact of new enhancements (discovery and self- archiving) on Zotero user patterns.
