2 SMARTech smartech.gatech.edu

3 SMARTech  August 2004  DSpace Institutional Repository  Academic output of Georgia Tech  Locally created material for teaching and further research  Self-submission by faculty & researchers

4 Statistics  December 2006  10,400+ items  Top 5 items: December ConneXus (library newsletter) Intuitive Revelations (library faculty) Belt line (Georgia Tech thesis) Enzymatic Biobleaching … (research paper) Structure Repairs Using … (research paper)

5 Digital Initiatives Working Group

6 Production Expectations  Collection administrator from department  Approve submitters  Submit/approve new materials  Submitters supply keywords  Submitters supply author names

7 Content Expectations  Faculty Research  Pre/Post Prints  Technical Reports  Current Theses & Dissertations

8 Changing Expectations Repository as Product vs. Repository as Service

9 Preservation Services

10 Campus Publications  Originally fell outside the scope of the collecting policy of SMARTech  Repository as Service idea led to an expansion of scope

11 The Technique & WREK Radio www.nique.net www.wrek.org

12 The Technique  We discussed using DSpace as a point-of-entry for newspaper files, but it did not fit the Technique’s needs  The Technique focuses on newspaper operations, rather than storage needs

13 WREK Radio  No archiving of any radio programs, due to server space and licensing (music)  Dedicated staff were losing important original programs (campus interviews, etc.)  Archives harvests selected radio programs, adds to SMARTech  Extremely popular items in SMARTech

14 Aardvark – Dark Archive  Copyright constraints  Privacy issues  Campus restrictions Collections of digital files not suitable for the IR grew more and more rapidly

15 Aardvark Backbone - DSpace  GA Tech’s dedication to the software and the open-source movement  Staff familiarity  Preservation focus  Organizational structure  MetaArchive Project

16 Aardvark Example Collections  Master TIFF images of scanned items  Music Department recordings and videos  Redacted/Removed documents from SMARTech  Copyrighted reference materials (vertical subject files) are now full-text indexed 1,872 items (147 gigabytes) have been added in first 4 months by student employees

17 Aardvark Development  Administrative rights management  Archival processing workflow  Expanded metadata  Integration with Archivists’ Toolkit  Public exposure of selected materials

18 Publishing Services

20 epage@Tech Services  Capture Instructional materials, multimedia  Host Lecture series, symposia, conferences  Publish Proceedings and journals  Preserve … in SMARTech

21 Stakeholders  Researchers Library provides a low-cost model for hosting and maintaining conference web sites and journals Retain copyright  GT/Library Georgia Tech granted non-exclusive license to distribute and preserve  Ex. Conference proceedings and related materials

22 Conferences and Journals  Space Systems Engineering  Recycling of Fibrous Textile and Carpet Waste  Haunting Histories of the Female Body: Gynecology, Obstetrics and Women's Health  Electronic Resources & Libraries (ER&L)  Information Technologies and International Development (ITID)

23 Haunting Histories of the Female Body  Organized by students  Captured Presentations Exhibition Panel discussion  Hosted web site  Preserved in SMARTech

24 Haunting Histories of the Female Body

25 ER&L Conference  Background  Host content for Moodle publishing platform  Preserve proceedings in SMARTech  Capture presentations

26 ER&L Conference http://electroniclibrarian.org/moodle/

27 ITID Journal  Background  Provide technical support for web-based editorial workflow  Journal published by MIT Press

28 ITID Journal http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/itid

29 ITID Journal

30 Repository as Service  Secures rights to disseminate research  Increases repository exposure on and off campus  Embeds repository into existing workflows  Builds content  Promotes active participation in scholarly communication process

31 Contact Information  Susan Wells Parham susan.parham@gatech.edu  Kent Woynowski woynowski@gatech.edu  Julie Griffin julie.griffin@library.gatech.edu  Presentation available online at: http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/13171
