Networks and Communities
Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), Repository Resources
http://www.arl.org/sparc/repositories/
"The following resources may be helpful for those interested in establishing, accessing, or just learning about online repositories, both institutional and disciplinary. SPARC's membership and mandate encourages a focus on developing institutional repositories, so many resources listed here support this direction. Resources supplied here include guides, presentation materials, and handbooks produced by SPARC and other organizations. These provide definitions and developments in the field, and point those interested to the growing number of repositories."
Selected Model Programs and Projects
JISC Repositories
- JISC Repositories and Preservation Programme
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/programme_rep_pres.aspx
"The programme is a £14m investment in Higher Education repository and digital content infrastructure. It will fund initiatives to develop the Information Environment supporting digital repositories and preservation, including cross-searching facilities across repositories; funding for institutions to develop a critical mass of content, preservation solutions and advice for the development of repositories. The programme builds on the existing JISC programmes, in particular the Digital Repository programme and the Supporting Digital Preservation and Asset Management in Institutions programme."
- JISC Digital Repositories Programme 2005-07
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/programme_digital_repositories.html
"The aim of the Digital Repositories programme is to bring together people and practices from across various domains (research, learning, information services, institutional policy, management and administration, records management, and so on) to ensure the maximum degree of coordination in the development of digital repositories, in terms of their technical and social (including business) aspects. The Digital Repositories programme ends in 2007. Work continues under the Repositories and Preservation programme."

"The Learning About Digital Institutional Repositories Seminars programme (LEADIRS) aims to describe and illustrate how to build an online institutional repository. The LEADIRS series of seminars present specialists from the UK and abroad sharing their expertise and experiences in building institutional repositories. This workbook book supplements the seminar presentations and offers practical advice as well as work sheets you can use to get started with your own repository programme. Where possible, we point you to real-world examples of planning aids or presentations used by university library teams in the UK and around the world. … LEADIRS materials are geared toward university librarians and senior level managers whose staff are building institutional repositories."

"Libraries are the repositories of the scholarly record; however, few of our efforts are directed toward building unique collections outside of special collections and archives. As cultural heritage institutions, it is time to consider changing our role in the scholarly communication process by shifting our collection development emphasis away from traditional collections towards more up-stream materials–such as institutional repositories and edge collections. Through combined efforts at Vanderbilt University, three such collections have been created."
Gibbons, S., "Establishing an Institutional Repository," Library Technology Reports, Vol. 40, No. 4, (2004)
This Library Technology Report guides you through the process of establishing an institutional repository at your organization, from conceptualization to actualization, encompassing both the technology and intangibles. This report answers the basic, yet complex, questions of what an institutional repository is and why one might be of value to your organization. The report also discusses specific policy, use, and technical decisions that will result in a detailed checklist of functions and features of the ideal institutional repository system for your organization. Chapter 7 gives an overview of the currently available institutional repository systems, both commercial and open source, against which you can compare your customized checklist. This report provides enough information to enable you to be informed in your decisions as to whether an institutional repository is appropriate for your organization, how it potentially may be used, and which of the available systems best fit your needs.

"The UVa Library is actively developing a digital library repository based on the Fedora open source architecture; the first production release was set to launch in August 2004. The Library is simultaneously testing an implementation of OpenURL and metasearch tools. This article presents the UVa Library's development process in the context of its larger digital library development efforts, including local content production, the implementation of new digital services, and the integration of those services into a unified interface."
