Guiding Questions Which faculty have/not contributed to the Scholarly Works collection? Where do full departments/colleges stand in regards to the collection? Where are our contributors in the tenure process? What types of items are they contributing, and does this have any influence on faculty participation?

Previous Study of the Digital Library 2015 Study of perceived value of the UNT Digital Library and Scholarly Works by Waugh, Hamner, Klein, & Brannon Surveyed currently employed/enrolled faculty, staff, and graduate students as of the Fall 2013 semester; 785 respondents. Intent to Contribute to Scholarly Works Believe there is no need as the library already subscribes to those journals Are unsure if they can deposit their work due to publishing rights Believe their scholarly output is not compatible with the repository Male respondents are more likely to use or contribute to the Digital Library than female respondents Overall, graduate students more enthusiastic about digital library resources than faculty and staff

Methodolog y Used publically available faculty senate spreadsheet listing faculty members by job code Removed administrative faculty, ESL instructors, and Visiting faculty Does not include other UNT system campuses such as UNT Dallas, UNT Health Science Center Searched for each member in Scholarly Works Looked at number of items, larger patterns in co-author/institutions tied to items Two searches: June 29 & July 18 th, 2016.

Overview of Collection We currently have works from 29% of UNT’s faculty 25% if you don’t count UNT Libraries Analysis of 1,044 current active faculty members Of these, 254 faculty members contribute to Scholarly Works From 49 out of 61 departments Housed in 9 out of 10 Colleges + UNT Libraries These faculty account for 78% of our total Scholarly Works collection Remainder likely attributed to Emeritus faculty, Adjunct instructors, and other affiliated campus community members not caught within the test group.
