Lessons and Practical Advice Policies –General issues –Content and submission Service Development –Selection, installation and maintenance –Configuration and development –Value added services Advocacy and Copyright

General Policy Issues What needs is your repository being set up to address? What sort of content are you seeking for your repository? Will you be expecting authors to self-archive? Will you be depositing content for users? Or a combination of both? Will you provide training and support for self-archiving? Will the encouragement to deposit be coming from the top down, bottom up, or both?

General Policy Issues cont’d Do you want to develop policies before you start or as you encounter issues? Funding body policies on open access – how are you going to incorporate these into the policies for your repository? What staff resource can you devote to setting up and managing your repository? What will be the relationship of the repository to other University repositories/databases?

To Mandate or not to Mandate Mandates in place at Southampton and the University of Queensland. No mandate at Glasgow Our statement “Strongly encourages”

Content & Submission Who will you accept content from? What will your policy on withdrawal of material from the service be? Will you only accept full text or will you also accept bibliographic details plus links to versions on publishers’ sites? What is the minimum level of metadata you will accept?

Content & Submission cont’d If authors are self-depositing what level of metadata quality checking will you undertake? Will you scan papers to add to the repository if electronic versions are not available? Will you add metadata to indicate the version of a paper that is being deposited?

Selection, installation and maintenance How will you select your IR? Are you going to implement the IR in- house or outsource it? What software skillsets are available? What hardware and operating systems are available? Will your service be hosted centrally or by the Library?

Configuration and development How much configuration do you want to do? Will you set-up a test server for development? Will the IR integrate with existing institutional authentication systems such as LDAP? What formats will your repository accept? How will your IR be administered? What will be the relationship between the IR and other institutional services such as a VLE, publications database or administrative records?

Value added services Will you provide a bulk import service for pre- existing data? What usage statistics will be available? Will they be posted publicly? Do you need a local harvesting service? Do you want to offer an open access journal platform? What training in administration and deposit will you offer to your community?

Advocacy Will you be targeting all departments simultaneously? Or starting with a small number (e.g. a pilot)? How are you going to get some initial content to populate the repository with? How are you going to ‘sell’ the idea of a repository? How will you persuade staff to deposit?

Advocacy Cont’d Do the academics in your institution know much about open access? How much informing on the background issues will you need to do? What publicity activities are you going to undertake? Are you going to use other Library staff to undertake advocacy activities?

Copyright Are you going to advise academics on copyright matters? Will you expect authors to check copyright agreements or will you do this for them? Are you going to approach publishers for permission to add articles if copyright publisher policies are not clear?

Copyright Cont’d If so, what will you do if publishers don’t respond? What will you do about advising staff on keeping/creating ‘author final versions’ of their papers? What will you do if a publisher asks you to remove full text from the repository? If authors deposit versions of their papers that are not acceptable to publishers in respect of copyright agreements will you remove them?

The Future Enlighten and the RAE University will continue to encourage staff to deposit their publications The University Senate has approved the the electronic deposit of theses (Jan 07) Ongoing advocacy campaign
