Abstract
A variety of perspectives, from academic libraries of different types and sizes, on developing and implementing institutional repositories and digital scholarship programs. They will address such issues as intradepartmental collaboration, alignment with existing digital projects, and achieving and sustaining institutional buy-in from administrators, faculty, and student researchers for the benefit of the wider scholarly community. The presentation prompts further questions: What is the role of digital scholarship in our work and institutions? Where and how can different institutions begin? Are we seeing a necessary collaboration or a fundamental change in how we see and use digital and archival assets? Are digital and real object the same except for format? What are the “best practices” for IRs? What outside funding sources, such as grants, might be utilized? What is involved in a strategic plan for implementing and maintaining IRs? What are some of the open source solutions in consortial environments available for your project proposal and are they really “free”?
