Reynolds, David Shreeves, Sarah L. Many institutional repositories have pursued a mixed metadata environment, relying on description by multiple workflows. Strategies may include metadata converted from other systems, metadata elicited from the document creator or manager, and metadata created by library or repository staff. Additional editing or proofing may or may not occur. The mixed environment brings challenges of creation, management, and access. In this article, repository efforts at three major universities are discussed. All three repositories run on the DSpace software package, and the opportunities and limitations of that system will be examined. The authors discuss local strategies in light of current thinking on metadata creation, user behavior, and the aggregation of heterogeneous metadata. The contrasts between the mission of each repository effort will show the importance of local customization, while the experience of all three institutions forms the basis for recommendations on strategies of benefit to a wide range of librarians and repository planners. metadata DSpace institutional repository heterogeneity Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS) Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2142/13336 Saying What We Do – Doing What We Say: Preservation Issues (Metadata And Otherwise) In Institutional Repositories Shreeves, Sarah L.

Cain, Timothy R. EUI, the Ethnography of the University Initiative (http://www.eui.uiuc.edu/), is an innovative program at the University of Illinois that offers students the opportunity to conduct original ethnographic and archival research and archive it for future students to build upon. EUI supports faculty in their efforts to bring the research discovery process into the classroom and works with IDEALS, the University's institutional repository, which maintains a permanent online archive of student research. In this session we'll describe EUI and discuss the roles of participants, give examples of student learning and research enabled by EUI, and reflect on what we've learned from the initiative.

Phillips, Scott A. Salo, Dorothea This short booklet is intended to introduce the commonest non-obvious customization-related tasks for newcomers to DSpace administration. It has been written against the stable version 1.4.2 of DSpace and Manakin 1.1. We have tried to include instructions for different operating systems as required; most customizations, however, work identically cross-platform. This booklet was created as a handout for the tutorial "Making DSpace Your Own", at the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) 2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
