New CIRSS report on Mellon funded study of institutional repository development.
CIRSS has completed a pilot study, Identifying Factors of Success in CIC Institutional Repository Development, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The comparative case study was initiated by the CIC and designed to learn about successes and challenges experienced by IR initiatives at university libraries. Based primarily on in-depth interviews with developers, librarians, faculty, and administrators, the analysis identifies key development strategies, examines emerging new roles for librarians, and includes faculty perspectives on the value of institutional repositories.
The project team members were CIRSS director Carole Palmer, project coordinator Lauren Teffeau, and affiliated researcher Mark Newton.
