5. Budget outflows

6. September 2002 We’re going to build an e-print server …. Cathy Norton, Director, MBLWHOI Library … a what? Ann Devenish

7. 2004 pilot project outcomes/conclusions Existing constraints: –No new staff –No new budget dollars Beg and borrow IT support & equipment –No institutional mandates for author deposit Open source platform our best (only?) option –DSpace Dublin Core metadata scheme OAI PMH Multiple file formats “Should we build an IR?” was never a question we asked/answered

8. Fire, ready, aim 11 years later, not much has changed … Let’s deposit DOIs for locally published content (theses, technical reports, etc.) Let’s deposit DOIs for data sets in support of publication Let’s accept content via SWORD Let’s support item versioning Let’s support linked open data …except, now we have a smaller staff

9. How we do it Collaborate ~ play nicely with others Leverage ~ build on our successes Outsource ~ when necessary Grants ~ when available

10. Collaborate Examples: –CrossRef: DOIs –Digital-TAGs: Data sets –Biological Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO): SWORD deposit –Elsevier: Linking to data

11. Elsevier linking

12. Leverage Examples: –CrossRef DOIs for “books” > DOIs for data sets –DTAG wav files > support for more robust hardware –BCO-DMO > item versioning & linked open data

13. Outsource Examples: –New Wave Printing Scanning (older theses and technical reports) –Longsight IT support Elsevier linking SWORD (in part) –@mire Item versioning Linked open data (under development)

14. Grants Examples: –Jewett Foundation Item versioning (in part) –National Science Foundation GeoLink Linked open data

15. WHOAS rendered as RDF

16. Action items Involve library and IT colleagues, early and often –Identify local skill sets and any organizational deficiencies –Identify potential partners, internal and external Look forward –Positive attitudes Don’t over think it!
