14 The Digital Repository and Technical Services: Cohabitating or Colliding?
Meghan Banach

15 Why should technical services departments be involved with Digital Repositories?
New opportunities for technical services staff New types of materials to catalog Users information seeking behavior is changing Users today want access to information beyond just traditional library resources Competition for resources to develop new library services Traditional library organizational structures are changing Fits in with our responsibilities of resource description, organization, and preservation

16 New Models for Technical Services Departments
Examples: University of Oregon’s Cataloging Department Transformed into the Metadata and Digital Library Services Department in 2006 Brown University Library’s Center for Digital Initiatives “The Center for Digital Initiatives is comprised of staff from Digital Services (the home department), along with staff from associated departments, such as Web Services and Technical Services.”

17 The digital repository and technical services
Traditional technical services functions: Acquisitions Cataloging & Processing Integrated Library Systems Collection Development Preservation

18 How does ScholarWorks fit in with the Acquisitions Department at UMass Amherst?
Acquisitions Department focuses primarily ordering and licensing library resources from publishers and vendors Significant amount of time and effort goes into electronic resources management Ordering subscription based electronic resources Providing access to subscription based electronic resources Licensing of subscription based electronic resources Participating in cooperative efforts aimed at preserving subscription based electronic resources Administering and maintaining electronic resources systems (e.g. SFX and Verde)

19 How does ScholarWorks fit in with the Acquisitions Department at UMass Amherst? (Cont.)
Acquiring materials for a digital repository? Providing access to electronic resources in the digital repository?

20 How does ScholarWorks fit in with the Cataloging & Processing Department at UMass Amherst?
ScholarWorks is a separate “catalog” Records in ScholarWorks are Dublin Core records Records are created by the authors of the works Separate MARC records are created for the OPAC for certain types of material Links from catalog records to content in ScholarWorks Masters Theses and Dissertations

22 How does ScholarWorks fit in with the Integrated Library Systems Department at UMass Amherst?
Concerned with managing our ILS and all of it’s different modules ScholarWorks system is a separate system which is not part of the ILS ScholarWorks runs on vendor hosted software Future collaborations?

23 How does ScholarWorks fit in with the Collection Development Department at UMass Amherst?
Overlap between collection development for the library collection and collection development for ScholarWorks Expertise we should draw on in the future Collaborated on marketing and content recruitment

24 How does ScholarWorks fit in with Preservation at UMass Amherst?
Focused on print collections Need for digital preservation policies and planning – NEDCC Survey Standards and best practices still emerging Bepress provides storage, backup, and security Institutional commitment to preservation and migration Planning for a dark archive

25 Conclusion This is a new age This is new work
It will require new skills It will require a shift in thinking We all need to adapt We all need to be willing to learn We are all in it together
