  2. Academic libraries and archives • Cataloguing • Computerised catalogue databases (e.g. OPACS) • Networked catalogue query protocols (e.g. Z39.50) • Digital object storage • Document and records management systems • Digital object repositories and archives (e.g. JSTOR)

  3. Institutional repositories (IRs) • Capture, manage and preserve institutional output • Scholarly output • Theses • Dissertations • Peer-reviewed articles • Research • Datasets • Study materials • Administrative records • Web access to public content

  4. Open access Research councils policy: The AHRC requires that funded researchers: • ensure deposit of a copy of any resultant articles published in journals or conference proceedings in appropriate repository • wherever possible, ensure deposit of the bibliographical metadata relating to such articles, including a link to the publisher’s website, at or around the time of publication http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/access/

  5. IRs: discovery and access • Searching: metadata and full-text • Google Scholar • Strategic initiatives, e.g. • OAIster: “An Academic Hotbot” (2003) • OpenDOAR (2005 - JISC) • Custom integration initiatives • By region (e.g. White Rose - Yorkshire) • By subject/discipline • By other class (e.g. Ethos - theses online)

  6. IRs and other web applications Integration with other applications using web platform and standards • Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) • Virtual Research Environments (VREs) and workspaces • Social and academic bookmarking (e.g. Del.icio.us, Cite-U-Like) • Social networking (e.g. Facebook, blogging)

  7. Things you can do with IRs • Browse catalogue by date, subject, author, title, etc. • Search using simple or advanced forms • Get automated notification of new accessions by email or newsfeed (RSS) • Share links/objects among research team or study group • Manage references, bibliographies, citations  Produce statistics for RAE
