A revolution must be wrought in the ways in which we make, store, and consult the record of accomplishment.... It is not just a problem for the libraries, although that is important. Rather, the problem is how creative men think, and what can be done to help them think. It is a problem of how the great mass of material shall be handled so that the individual can draw from it what he needs-instantly, correctly, and with utter freedom. Compact storage of desired material and swift selective access to it are the two basic elements of the problem.
Vannevar Bush,Science Is Not Enough, 1967

IR Service(s)
“a university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution.”
Clifford Lynch “Institutional Repositories”

Complementary Resource
An Institutional repository service exists, not in competition with the subject based archives, which are already
established but rather as a complementary Institutional resource.

Defining ePrints
• Electronic versions of research articles– pre-prints (pre-referred papers)– post-prints (post-refereed papers)
• May also include:– Conference papers– Book chapters
• Critical element is quality control• Beyond ePrints
– VRML, Quicktime, Databases, Images

Defining Open Access
• Open Access Journals• Open Access Institutional Repositories
Budapest Open Access Initiative
“accelerate progress in the international effort to
make research articles available on the internet.”

Open Access Momentum
Open Access in the News—– Wall Street Journal cites Open Access as one of
top 10 health stories of 2003 (30/12/03)

Defining Repositories
EPrints• Published papers• Pre-prints• Conference papers
Other content• Theses• Data• Images
Institutional repositories are digital collections that capture and preserve the intellectual output of university communities. These could include:
IRs are still in their infancy but maturing rapidly
![Page 10: Institutional Repositories: One Road to Open Access William J Nixon, Service Development DAEDALUS, University of Glasgow JISC CNI Roads to Open Access.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f415503460f94c60d75/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Convergence of Drivers
• Global journal problem– Rising costs of journal prices
• Open Access movement– Budapest Open Access Initiative– Berlin Declaration
• Open Archives Initiative– OAI-PMH
• Availability of repository software– Eprints.org– Dspace et al
![Page 11: Institutional Repositories: One Road to Open Access William J Nixon, Service Development DAEDALUS, University of Glasgow JISC CNI Roads to Open Access.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f415503460f94c60d75/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Some Subject Repositories
• AMS Directory of Mathematics Preprint and e-Print Servers
• ArXiv.org (formerly the Los Alamos Physics Preprint Archive, now at Cornell)
• CogPrints• RePEc (Research Papers in
Economics)

Why institutional repositories?
• A “Third Alternative” for freeing research– Papers on FTP and web sites– Subject based repositories e.g. arXiv
• Institutions provide the infrastructure to:– Build – Populate– Maintain– Preserve
• IRs are complementary and cross-searchable with OAI-compliant subject based repositories
![Page 14: Institutional Repositories: One Road to Open Access William J Nixon, Service Development DAEDALUS, University of Glasgow JISC CNI Roads to Open Access.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f415503460f94c60d75/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Features
• Institutionally defined
• Contain scholarly content
• Cumulative and perpetual
• Open and interoperable - Reciprocity

Benefits
• Maximise the visibility and impact of research for individual researchers
• Maximise the access to research at other institutions
• Can provide a platform for preservation
![Page 16: Institutional Repositories: One Road to Open Access William J Nixon, Service Development DAEDALUS, University of Glasgow JISC CNI Roads to Open Access.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f415503460f94c60d75/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Communities and Agendas
• Faculty– Increase visibility of their own research– Increase access to others research
• Library– Challenge the serials crisis– Provide for digital preservation
• Administrators– Raise the profile of the institution– Manage University’s scholarly output
![Page 17: Institutional Repositories: One Road to Open Access William J Nixon, Service Development DAEDALUS, University of Glasgow JISC CNI Roads to Open Access.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f415503460f94c60d75/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Some Cautions
• Should not used as a means of controlling scholarly output
• Infrastructure should not be distracted with policy baggage
• Should ensure that there is not a lack of institutional commitment beyond the initial implementation

Dissemination
• ePrints and other content in repositories will be searchable via:– OAI search services e.g. OAIster – Google– Yahoo
OAIster has recently partnered with Yahoo! to provide its metadata to Yahoo! Search

A Global Movement
• UK: FAIR• Netherlands: DARE• Australia: ARROW • United States:
DSpace [MIT]; Caltech CODA; California Digital Library
![Page 25: Institutional Repositories: One Road to Open Access William J Nixon, Service Development DAEDALUS, University of Glasgow JISC CNI Roads to Open Access.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f415503460f94c60d75/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DAEDALUS and Glasgow
• Institutional Repository project• Funded by JISC under FAIR• Core strategic aim for Glasgow University
Library• Two strands
– Advocacy– Service Development
• EPrints and DSpace are integral components
![Page 26: Institutional Repositories: One Road to Open Access William J Nixon, Service Development DAEDALUS, University of Glasgow JISC CNI Roads to Open Access.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f415503460f94c60d75/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why EPrints and DSpace?
• Opportunity to work with them both• Hardware and skill sets available• Specific need for a publications
database which EPrints.org fulfilled• Experience with EPrints.org software• Workflow opportunities presented by
DSpace suited a more devolved model• Digital preservation dimension

Summary
• Institutional repositories provide an excellent platform to expose research and scholarly works
• As IR’s evolve they will be able to support richer content and demands
• Digital preservation is no longer an optional extra but an institutional imperative
