Institutional repository managers often focus on content acquisition - how to recruit, build and grow collections. However, a strategy for truly sustainable growth should focus not on the content, but on the services that the repository provides to the broader institutional community (faculty, students, administrators). The primary goal of this webinar will be to provide participants with service-oriented strategies for building and growing institutional repository programs.
The main focus of the content will be communication strategies.
If time allows, some of the ethical/legal considerations related to IR management will be explored. As part of this portion of the presentation,participants will be directed to government (and academic) resources on copyright, FERPA and human subjects/animal/biological research.
An ALCTS webinar.
Originally presented on Wednesday, February 8, 2012.
