商品簡介
In the digital world, institutional repositories (IRs) play a vital role in protecting the informational output of academic activities for long-term access and posterity. For the librarians (typically) asked to manage IRs, the task can be exhilarating, challenging, and sometimes quite daunting. The skills required range from a technical knowledge of information storage and retrieval techniques, to the latest approaches to metadata tagging, to motivating reluctant faculty to meet their deadlines for submitting needed documents. This book reviews all these elements, and more, for IR managers. Included case studies help illustrate the techniques and strategies outlined in the book.
