FAIR and the IE
• Call released in January 2002• Inspired by the vision of the Open Archives
Initiative (OAI)• Within the IE, FAIR will build repositories
which can staff and students can use to lodge and exchange content
• It will also provide information about the organisational, technical and cultural challenges in developing these “places” and the processes involved

3 Clusters, 14 Projects
• E-Prints and E-Theses
• Museums and Images
• Institutional Portals
FAIR is about more than e-Prints, it also includes images, e-Learning
objects, museum artefacts and theses

The Role of Libraries
• Crisis in Scholarly Communication
• Pressure on Library budgets, especially in STM areas
• History of interoperability – Z
• Skills base - Cataloguing
• Extension of current roles - Theses
![Page 6: FAIR – Focus on Access to Institutional Resources William J Nixon DAEDALUS Project, University of Glasgow e-libraries for e-learning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551621da550346b2068b4662/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DAEDALUS
• Funded until June 2005
• Building an Institutional model
• Partner with the CURL SHERPA Project
• Core strategic aim for the Library
• Two strands– Advocacy– Service Development
![Page 7: FAIR – Focus on Access to Institutional Resources William J Nixon DAEDALUS Project, University of Glasgow e-libraries for e-learning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551621da550346b2068b4662/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Issues we will explore
• Cultural– Encouraging deposit– Barriers to use and deposit
• Organisational– IPR and copyright– Plagiarism
• Technical– Metadata Standards – File formats
![Page 8: FAIR – Focus on Access to Institutional Resources William J Nixon DAEDALUS Project, University of Glasgow e-libraries for e-learning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551621da550346b2068b4662/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Advocacy – Avoiding ESpace
• to create an Open Access culture• to gather content for the range of Open
Archives services• to provide advice on policy implications,
guidelines and processes of the services• to formulate an exit strategy that ensures an
embedded and ongoing service

Strategies at Glasgow
• Project Board including an academic from each of three territorial subject groups
• Contacting those academics who are already self-publishing
• Working with departmental publications databases (RAE)
![Page 10: FAIR – Focus on Access to Institutional Resources William J Nixon DAEDALUS Project, University of Glasgow e-libraries for e-learning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551621da550346b2068b4662/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Assistance for Staff
• Focus for publisher copyright policies
• Range of repositories
• Mediated submission service– Record enhancement – File conversion
![Page 11: FAIR – Focus on Access to Institutional Resources William J Nixon DAEDALUS Project, University of Glasgow e-libraries for e-learning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551621da550346b2068b4662/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Academic Concerns
• Integrity of the work will be compromised• That no journal will subsequently publish it• That it will break existing copyright
agreements with publishers• Who benefits?• Institutional liability• Document formats • Collection policies• Quality control - avoiding “e-graffiti”

complementary Institutional resource.
