What do we do next? Ideas for adding value to your repositorySUETr Event, Lincoln, 10/2/08

Newcastle e-prints service
Open access database of research produced by Newcastle University staff Existed since 2005, in earnest
since 2007 Mainly peer-reviewed
published material 6,000 items, of which 1,500
are full text All records from RAE 2008
deposited Several hundred staff participating, thousands of
downloads per month
eprints.ncl.ac.uk
Key facts
In-house developed software, based on e-prints
Repository officer (me!) responsible for this and e-theses project
Main roles: advocacy and service development
44% response rate from staff to requests for full text
Future integration Launch of new research information service,
MyImpact later this year Single point of access for
all research-related information
Much greater range of reports and analysis
E-prints will link in with it Records downloaded from
WoS and Scopus, generating automated full text request to author
Citation data available to enable analysis and preparation for REF
Current situation!
How it will work…..
Adding value to your repository
Beyond open access…. We know about OA,
preservation, description… but what else can our repositories do?
“A repository should be able to provide lots of benefits to its users. In particular, it should make things more valuable when they are deposits than when they are just files on a laptop.”
[Les Carr, repositoryman.blogspot.com]

Adding value for depositors Do deposits go into your repository to die….
….or to be reborn? Enable depositors to supply data once (preferably
with zero effort), and then repurpose it Output - create customised bibliographies, CVs, web
sites, documents Personalisation –
incorporating into other sites - Pageflakes, iGoogle, Facebook, widgets…
There is no mandate to deposit in youtube or Flickr!
Enabling interaction
Interaction and linking- allowing others to contact, form groups, give feedback (tagging and rating, not just formal citations)
Keep up to date with RSS feeds (customised for individuals, research groups, format…)
“Successful repositories (Flickr, YouTube, slideshare etc) promote the social activity that takes place around the content as well as the content management activity.”
[Andy Powell, Eduserv Foundation]

What can we do with content?
Displaying content in different ways Creating slideshows Visualising content (image
wall, previews, tag cloud, timeline)
Broadening content type – e.g. non-text materials, data, learning objects

Adding value for the institution Supporting the institution’s mission Marketing, link in with press
releases, recruitment… Expertise finder Research management, REF
procedures, career development Data analysis – e.g. % of total research output in
repository, % of staff depositing, breakdown by School, research group?…
Can your repository help generate income? Can it save money?
Can your repository save people time? Who? Are you telling stakeholders about this?
Don’t become an afterthought! Does your repository just make
an appearance ‘at the end’ of the research process?
How can it become part of the research workflow…from first idea to final publication?
Blurring of distinction between journal and repository?
Advising and assisting with setting up OA journals Enabling funder policy compliance Part of everyday academic practice - ‘a mandate without a
mandate’ e.g. Northampton University generates its annual research
report entirely from NECTAR repository content – if you’re not in the repository, you won’t be in the report
