Institutional Repository Environment
How it works theoretically …
Scholar registers on network, joining a “community”
Scholar enters the descriptive metadata (e.g. Author, Title, abstract, date)
Scholar uploads item Submission creates OAI record OAI harvesters for which collection is registered
regularly gather the information and load it into their systems
Institutional Repository Environment
OAI Harvesters
OAIster (University of Michigan)
RePEc (Research Papers in Economics)

Workflow Prepublication work is not being captured
Some published work is being captured

Experience shows more assistance needed than originally thought
University of New Orleans, UNO Project
Solutions: Metadata & Hierarchy Consulted with departments to see how they used
their papers and how they wished to have access
Fashion metadata to reflect hierarchy
Use templates and controlled vocabulary to minimize mistakes and speed entry
Department-level collections under UNO Digital Research, with series identified

Copyright & Self-Archiving
Mutually supporting alternatives
Previous publications Check contracts for terms
Review publishers policies & request permission
New publications Write self-archiving rights into contracts
Many publishers less skittish now
