DESCRIPTION
Presented at the 2010 Electronic Resources & Libraries Conference. Charlie Bennett, Georgia Tech Library Abstract: How can an academic library increase faculty awareness of, and investment in, the digital repository? One strategy is to create searchable and citatble items out of digitally captured events and artifacts. These unusual bitstreams can entice faculty to use the repository when articles and technical reports don't draw them in.
