MINDS @ UW: Innkeeper at the Roach Motel

DataShare — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:15:43 GMT

A pre-print article for Library Trends, this is a no-holds barred critique of institutional repository politics, software, usage statistics, utility (from the researcher's point of view), and of the library establishment for not providing enough support and training to make them work, from the point of view of a fed-up IR manager from the University of Wisconsin. Very insightful, with colourful language, as the title suggests. (Thanks, Ann for the link!)

DRIVER, or the Digital Repositories Infrastructure Vision for European Research, is a joint collaboration between ten European partners which aims to create a knowledge base for European research. DRIVER is funded by the EU (FP6) and puts in place a test-bed of digital repositories across
Europe, to assist with the development of a knowledge infrastructure for the European Research Area. The project builds upon existing institutional repositories and national networks, from countries including the Netherlands,
Germany, France, Belgium and the UK.

RUBRIC

DataShare — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 16:03:15 GMT

The RUBRIC Project recognises that regional and smaller universities have a need to access, manage and disseminate research information in the same way as the large established research universities but often face significant challenges in developing appropriate and sustainable infrastructure. This australian project focuses on the needs of smaller and regional universities by providing a structured framework for partner institutions to evaluate, trial and implement an Institutional Repository solution; to collaborate on the development of better processes and tools; to act collectively and to develop the expertise that will be necessary to respond to emerging needs of the Research Quality and Accessibility Frameworks across universities.
